Burrito Mojado
Denise L.

My friend got us food to go and was surprised that for the amount of food you get the prices are really reasonable. I had a very concise order for my super burrito and they got it right! There was plenty of al pastor in my burrito and very good! The avocado was a bit light but that was okay. Their green salsa was also very tasty. Knowing they use refried beans and not whole beans, I would try my burrito with beans next time.

-visited expecting to enjoy the advertised Today's Specials -- $25 bucket -- which was clearly posted on the door. Despite this, staff refused to honor the promotion, which felt misleading. To make matters worse, there was no air conditioning, and the excessive heat from the kitchen created an uncomfortably warm environment. This combination of poor customer service and uncomfortable conditions made for a disappointing experience. -Visité el lugar con la expectativa de disfrutar la promoción anunciada en la puerta -- Especiales de Hoy: cubeta por $25 -- sin embargo, el personal se negó a respetarla, lo que resulta engañoso. Para empeorar la situación, no había aire acondicionado y el calor excesivo proveniente de la cocina hacía que el ambiente fuera muy incómodo. Esta combinación de mal servicio al cliente y condiciones poco agradables resultó en una experiencia decepcionante

Chilaquiles with eggs and steak
Chris C.

TLDR; the food is amazing. I don't usually start reviews this bold but I really want onlookers to read the statement above if it's the only thing they see of this review. I've been there a couple of times since they've opened and tried a couple of their plates. Food: I've tried their chicken enchilada, chilaquiles, and burrito. Everything was good. I can't begin to describe how great of a feeling it is to be at a place that's batting 1000 so far. The burritos are massive, juicy, and full of flavors. The enchiladas are a favorite. On-point, cant go wrong imo. The chilaquiles were a first for me, and they were delicious. Service: overall, service is good. Got out stuff on time etc. Here and there you may get a server who isn't the most friendly but they've all been professional which is "my bar". Ambiance: the ambiance is OK. Nothing earth chattering. TVs all around and loud music that has nothing to do with the music. It's nothing out of the ordinary tbh. All in all, great spot for lunch and dinner, good portions, and good price. I hope they stay the course and keep serving amazing food. I hope to be able to be back many times.

Camerones a la diabla
Kathy K.

Came with a friend for lunch and was pleasantly surprised! We ordered a carne asada super burrito, camarones a la diabla, and the meal came with chips & salsa. Camarones a la diabla is my fav Mexican dish in the whole world and I really enjoyed this one! It was spicy and the shrimp were plump, plus their homemade tortillas were perfect!! The service was attentive and the music was not as loud as a previous review made it out to be. Maybe the restaurant read that review and turned it down, but my friend and I were able to have a conversation just fine. The prices are also very fair- under $40 for the whole meal! We would definitely return!

Matt K.

Just moved into the neighborhood from LA, and I know there's a million different Mexican options but trust this restaurant deserves more business. Great michie, great pricing, huge portions and great taste. This place is a no brainer, stop supporting la Vic's and iguana when you can come here. TRUST.

I have never once been disappointed with a dish, and I love trying new dishes on their menu. The staff is awesome, and the place has a cool astehtic vibe.

As a family of avid foodies who love trying new restaurants and hunting down great food, we're not easy to impress, and this place completely won our hearts. We ordered several appetizers, pastas for our mains, and finished with dessert. Every single dish was satisfying, from start to finish. Whether you're planning a date night or a fun night out with the girls, I highly recommend this place!

New favorite restaurant! It's always fun to find a gem in…read moredowntown San Jose that reminds us of the type of food we ventured to San Francisco for. As soon as we entered, even though there were other diners, the staff asked if my kids wanted to play a cartoon on the projector wall. They were ecstatic . Immediately had Foreign Cinema vibes for us but better! Cocktail menu is their focus, there are a few few wines as well as bottled beers no draft. The menu including their specials was so enticing. It was hard to decide on what to eat. We started with the Brussels sprouts which were perfectly crispy without being too greasy. It had a mustard sauce and pork belly, but neither of those were over powering . I just wish the dish was a bit bigger since we all enjoyed it ! Omg the butternut squash soup - they blended it so that there's a light froth and it feels a little airy in your mouth. It was still richly flavorful and creamy as well and came with some fresh focaccia to dip. I'm not always a fan of octopus, depending on how it's prepared. but their Octopus comes with one full thick arm, and was super tender and scrumptious. The burger was really good, apparently they have a kids version too. Ooh the Salmon entrée was amazing. The salmon itself was perfectly cooked and tender.. but what I really loved was the black rice it came on top of which had shiitake mushrooms and other deliciousness fried into it. I could've just had a bowl of that rice for dinner and then satisfied. The only downside is that the interior is pretty small and once a big group came in it was so loud that we would have to shout to hear each other. They do have outdoor patio seating, which is actually quite nice. There are Christmas lights up right now and it is a closed street so would be lovely dining option for an evening that is not too chilly. Service was great - super friendly positive attentive staff Will be back for sure !

I always love coming here. I love the bagels how fresh they are and the variety of flavors recently…read moreI got an egg and cheese sandwich with the pesto cheese, bagel, and garlic cream, cheese spread, and instantly when I saw how creamy and light the egg was, I was in love. It was perfect for an early morning to give me energy and the cheese and egg blended so well together and the pesto cheese was actually really good with it. They ran out of jalapeño cheese bagels, which is my favorite around eight in the morning for a Saturday, but I'm glad I got to try another flavor. The people here are really nice. I was debating between two cream cheese flavors and then they said I could do half-and-half which I loved. The Greek goddess spread is also amazing. Same with the honey walnut. I even got little chunks of walnut in the cream which I did not expect. I'll definitely be coming back. It's a little store with chairs and tables outside where you can eat at.

BUT ONLY FROM THIS PLACE!! I've noticed that Vietnamese coffees tend to taste different depending on where you get it from. The little short lady with the brown highlights in her hair that helped me today was so damn sweet and precious, it makes me want to almost cry LOL. Ambience kind of reminds me of an open tavern, but more... modernized and simplified I guess? Anyways- I work at a doggy daycare and the Vietnamese coffee here hits all the points for me: smooth, creamy, delicious, and TURNS ME INTO AN EVEN BIGGER ENERGIZER BUNNY THAN SOME OF THE DOGS I WORK WITH. Love love love!!

Food came out fairly fast too! Ordered the Breakfast sando, The Chick, Hojicha tea, and brownie sugar Hojicha Latte. Sandos were both very delicious. Breakfast one had beef and with sauce made it quite a messy eat. The Chick featured a giant piece of taiwanese fried chicken. Solid crisp and great spiced seasoning. Fair warning- the chicken feels like its never going to end. It took me 5 minutes from one and of the chicken to reach my actual sando. Neither of these are easy to eat. Be prepared to unhinge that jaw. Drinks were solid! Personally my hojicha tea was a tad on the bitter side, but the sweetener helped. Worth it stop if you're in the downtown SJ area.

The bread was soft and fresh, and everything inside tasted balanced rather than heavy or greasy. It's simple food, but done properly, which makes a big difference. Coffee was also better than I expected and worked well with the sandwich. The staff were friendly and easygoing, and even though it was fairly busy, the wait wasn't long. Overall, it's just a nice, low-key place for a casual bite. Nothing overly fancy, but definitely somewhere I'd go back to when I'm in the mood for a good sandwich and a relaxed atmosphere.

My friends and I were going to be in the area and we were going to meet up to have some lunch…read morefirst. We made a reservation ahead of time since we didnt want to wait to be seated on a Saturday. When we first got there at 1 pm, it was super busy. They were getting the table ready when we got there. We ate and lingered for awhile and by the time we left, the lunch crowd was dying down. Service was friendly and great despite them being so busy. I ordered the fish tacos and they were good. Not the best I have ever had, but good nevertheless. I was surprised that the tacos had a flour tortilla. I didn't really read the description on the menu, I just saw fish tacos and knew that's what I wanted for lunch. A fish taco on a flour vs corn tortilla is a debate, it just comes to personal preference but it does change the flavor. I prefer corn tortillas but I did enjoy these tacos on a flour tortilla. The fish was crispy, but I felt like something was missing overall from the tacos...seasoning, maybe? My friends all enjoyed their meal selections. Portions were decent for the price and the prices were reasonable. They have indoor and outdoor seating. We choose to sit inside since it was sooo hot and we wanted to be cool as we were enjoying our meal. Parking can be an issue around due to the popularity of the area but there are parking garages, parking lots and street parking around. The restaurant is right on the corner and hard to miss. Bathrooms were clean.

They're quick and super friendly. 5 stars for the employees for sure. But like other yelpers point out, the quality of the food is whack. I came here on a Sunday for brunch. I thought it was going to be full after reading other reviews. But it was practically empty. Seems like things have changed. I tried the Eggs Benedict... the sauce was okay and the hashbrowns were decent. They're cooked with onion, which was a good addition. So I ate my plate, I finished it, but I don't want to come back for more. Even though I wasn't full. I don't think I've ever left brunch feeling hungry! I also had a vanilla latte, it was good but with a huge espresso machine like they have, they should have way more options for drinks. The atmosphere is nice. It's a huge restaurant, with great lighting. The outside seating looks just as nice as the inside. It's a nice neighborhood so the outside seating is a good option. I won't be back. The food was just not worth it.
