Came here for lunch with my sister and her family. She really wanted to try the Birria pizza. That pizza was huge and so flavorful. It was still good the next day! I love Sopes topped with extra veggies and mouth watering spicy salsa and had to try theirs. The sopes was not disappointing! A comfort food for me. I had to pair the sopes with their cheesy and succulent street corn. So good! read more

came to this restaurant and, shortly after arriving, an employee walked past me carrying food. I asked if I could sit anywhere, and she responded with an irritated tone, saying, "Yeah." I believe the bartender noticed her demeanor and stepped in to ask how he could help. I told him I needed a table for one. After being seated, I waited for over 5 minutes while the employee stood nearby folding napkins and completely ignored me. Around 9 minutes later, she walked over to another table and asked if they needed anything else, yet I had still not been acknowledged. It felt as though she was either blatantly ignoring me or simply chose not to serve me. Overall, the customer service and attentiveness were very disappointing. I eventually walked out without ordering. At the very least, someone should acknowledge a guest, offer a menu, or bring a glass of water. Unfortunately, that basic level of service was missing during my visit. read more

Finally checked this spot out for happy hour & will definitely be back soon! Tostada's is located downtown within walking distance from many parking garages / bus stops, not sure if they have their own parking. They have plenty of seating indoors as well as some tables outside. When we walked in we were immediately sat & our server brought out some chips & salsa. We got a variety of items to share, my personal favorites were the molcajete mar & tierra, birria tostadas, & mangoneadita cocktail. read more

Is this San Jose's best kept secret for Mexican food happy hour?? We recently found out they started a happy hour, and it's honestly hard to beat. I don't know where else you can find $2 tacos anymore--and that even includes birria. The birria tacos don't come with consommé, but honestly, they're packed with so much meat in every bite that you don't even miss it. They also have $3 volcanes (kind of like a tostada), which were super tasty, and the $6 margaritas were strong in the best way. Plus, the chips tasted fresh, which always makes a difference. On top of the food, the customer service was amazing--friendly, welcoming, and just overall a great vibe, good music. Street parking was easy to find on a weekday too. read more

Alma was our waitress again and she remembered us from last week. She is super friendly and very accommodating. We came back to Happy Hour. This time I tried the tacos for $2. Birria & pastor. Very delicious for both. My husband tried the Pambazo and Volcan and both were very tasty as well. We tried different margaritas this time. Pineapple and Mango. Both were super delicious. Will definitely coming back to try more. read more

My bf ordering an individual-sized trompo of al pastor reminds me of those "his greed sickens me" cat memes lol. A visually-impressive tower of marinated pork, there was enough to make upwards of 10 tacos. We started with buttery-smooth guacamole & whole tostadas (I prefer tortilla chips), a refreshing michelada (although I didn't care for the shrimp on the rim), & a sweet mangonada that went down easy. Flavor-packed chicken tinga sopes. The masa shells seemed to be hand-made & were substantial enough to hold the generous amount of toppings. The A/C was blowing uncomfortably strong inside so we took a sidewalk table & enjoyed the view of lowriders cruising on a warm evening. read more

It is RARE that the standard level of spice (heat) at a restaurant is spicy enough to make my tongue tingle. I was impressed by this restaurant and how it met my heat baseline AND was delicious! There weren't many vegan options on the menu but I'm sure more items could be customized. The staff was very friendly and the vibe was definitely that of a poppin lunch spot but also a turn up joint for the evening. read more

Came in on a Tuesday afternoon for a little lunch, they were not that busy, so we got a table for 3 right away. 1st, the parking lot is in the rear of the restaurant and is shared with a few other businesses, so it is very limited. Maybe about 5 to 6 spots. There are lots off meter parking on the streets around the restaurant. Queso Fundido with Longanizo and the melted cheese was delicious, one of my favorites. Street Corn with Mexican Mayo, queso cotijo and lime was very tasty. Carne En Su Jugo with Steak simmered in tomatillo sauce, bacon, pinto beans serve with onion, cilantro, radishes and a jalapeno and 3 mini Cheese quesadillas was very good with lots of flavor. But it is different to what I'm used to. This one, the broth is a lot thicker like chile verde. Chilaquiles Verde with Scramble Eggs and Pork Chorizo was a hit with lots of flavor. The service here is great, they kept checking on us to make sure everything was good and kept our water glasses full. read more

Food: 5 Food portion: 5 Ambiance: 5 Service (Andrew): 5 Came here today with co-workers. This was my first time back at this location since they re-opened. The location is bright and clean. We were greeted by Andrew who ended up being our server. He is was so nice, attentive and was professional. We ordered the following: My co-worker wanted Breakfast so I can't remember what she ordered - it looked like an omelet. She said it was good. My other co-worker ordered a Breakfast burrito and he said it was good. I ordered the Pacific Catch Tostadas. It was a recommendation from Andrew since I am limiting my meat intake..it was good nice portion, the orange sauce was a little spicy, but it was good. I will definitely come back and I hope I get Andrew as our server. read more

Going in we were seated right away. Service was great, multiple servers would check in on us. Orange and Pineapple mimosa was great. We ordered, Tres Leches French toast and Mexican Eggs Benedict, it was with sourdough toast and they added avocado and tomato.

Let's start with the vibe. Very cute restaurant, we got there around 4pm and it was empty. My friend & I were sat right away. Service was great with great music to dance to while we ate. If you're not dancing while you eat, is the food really good? We began with the guac & salsa from the HH menu for $8. With it you get 4 large crisp tortillas. And we both ordered the enchiladas for our entrees. You can get it with red or green sauce, beware the green has a nice kick to it. Everything was delicious! read more

Came in with family on a weekday, for my little cousins birthday. Got free street parking due to the fact that it was Sunday. I had the la toxica cocktail, and my husband ordered the mangonadita. Both cocktails were super sweet. A bit too sweet for my taste. I'll have to order an extra shot in mine next time or order another drink entirely. For entrees my cousin had the grilled octopus. It was okay, have definitely had better. I ordered the birria tostados and my husband had the guisados birria. Both were amazing. Definitely made up for the okay ish cocktails. Had so much flavor. Should've stopped eating long before I did. The service was great, we had a large party so I appreciate how patient and accommodating our server was. Interior is super fun and clean. Great place to celebrate a birthday. They brought out a mini chocolate cake for the birthday boy. We all had a really great time and will absolutely be back! read more

Always love coming here! Foods really good and the service is great too. Robert is always my server and he's hilarious he has a great carefree positive personality. I would recommend the burrito, pretty much all their seafood and the tortas! Also special shoutout to the chef, we had a lot of food allergies in our group and he came out and asked for specifics and accommodated everyone. The ambiance is very upbeat and they always celebrate birthdays!!! read more

Sooooo I have stupid food, allergies, and sadly I'm allergic to monosodium glutamate/MSG. Our server had no idea what spices were in the Pacific catch tostada so he went to ask the other chefs in the back. Sadly, they weren't too sure since the prep work was done ahead of time, but the executive chef, was in the restaurant, but not working. So my server, Roberto O., was able to ask him!! The executive chef came up to me at the table as our server introduced who he was since he was wearing his normal street clothes. The Chef offered to make me another version of the Pacific catch tostada, so it would not have any sauce or monosodium glutamate in the sauce and seasoning. He was so sweet to go the extra mile in assisting me with my annoying food allergies!! When the plate came out, I was astonished at how huge the freaking tostadas were!!! They had two tortilla attached to them, and as the first one broke it perfectly, caught all the fish and toppings underneath the second one! Lol I was so stuffed and full. I'm surprised I was able to finish my drink!! I will definitely come back to this location again and get something else or try another dish since the executive chef knows exactly what seasoning is put into everything! The cocktail was delicious as well, fully balanced and refreshing! read more

My family went to Tostadas today for brunch. Everyone was satisfied with their food, but we were all exceptionally pleased with the service. Our server, Robert O., was attentive, courteous, charismatic, kind and funny. We were celebrating a birthday, and Robert went out of their way multiple times to check in with the birthday celebrant and ensure they were enjoying the meal. Robert also took great care to explain the Tostadas points system to us so that we could maximize our utilization. Thank you for treating us so well! read more

It's baaaaaack! The downtown location has returned with a new vibrant look! The decor is giving Miami vibes in DTSJ with its bright orange walls and chairs. I had only been for brunch once before they closed to remodel but wanted to try their expansive dinner menu. We came for an early dinner on Friday night but unfortunately not early enough for happy hour which is from 2-5 pm. They have a kids menu and I ordered the kids chicken quesadillas with beans for my 3 year old and it was enough food to feed 2 adults. It was four pieces of quesadillas and he barely ate one, not because he didn't like it, but because of how filling it was. I can't eat dairy otherwise I would have eaten it because it was so gooey of thick cheese. I ordered the chicken tinga sopes and the order is two very large sopes with beans and a lot of chicken which was perfectly seasoned. The salsa they give has a fierce kick but great flavor. My husband ordered the chicken torta and that sandwich was massive! It came with an order of seasoned fries which all 3 of us really liked. His torta was cut in half so you can see all the ingredients. I don't know how he did it but he ate the whole thing. The service was solid and by the time we were done around 6:20 pm, the restaurant was getting busy. They have great music playing and some bar seating with a great cocktail menu. read more

The food is delicious, just had the chilaquiles with chorizo and a side of rice and beans, amazing. Once raspberry pancake, and the Tropical Storm mocktail. The ambiance is fun, what they play on the screens is interesting, sometimes they play sports, sometimes travel reviews, today they're playing the USA Nerwork channel The wait staff ask seem pretty happy and knowledgeable about the menu, including what alterations are allowed. For example, instead of a stack of raspberry pancakes, I was able to just order a single raspberry pancake. read more

Went for my first time here... ordered a birria tostada. The staff/waiter was nice. The food I was not impressed . The tostada was soft and messy and fell apart. It was loaded heavily with layers of beans that I was unable to pick it up to bite it. As I waited for my food I watched the bar tender, didn't seem like food/safety -cleanliness was high on the radar. He grabbed cut up fruit lemon and orange pieces and decided not to use it and tossed it back in the supply, also he went in the back came out with an orange to cut a thin piece for a drink, his hands were all over rubbed the orange than cut the thin piece for the drink.. squeezed the juice out pouring over his fingers.. (never in the 10-15 min did I see him wash his hands... wondering if hands were clean was that orange even washed.. Not sure about the hype about this place but I have had much better Mexican food.. thought this Latina here could grab something tasting homemade on the fly! read more

We went during happy hour, it had a nice ambiance. The place was a little dirty, they allowed us to sit wherever we wanted. But it felt like every table we chose was not clean or there was a bunch of food on the floor. We ordered off their happy hour menu for drinks and I thoroughly enjoyed the jamaica margarita. I ordered the chile relleno, which was okay. I don't think I would order it again because the sauce was a bit off putting. My friends ordered the shrimp tacos, quesabirria tacos & sliders. They all really enjoyed their food! read more

The Cafe de ollo coffee was perfect and went well with the chilaquiles. This place is always worth the hour drive! read more

Popular place but my burrito asado meat was less than edible. 60-70% of the meat was super chewy & fatty that i had to spit out my mouth back onto my plate. It was obviously a menu item that the cook or anyone that works there never bother to taste & approve or otherwise I would expect they would be embarrassed to serve. But who cares these days, right ? They get their money either way. $20 with tax and tip for a partly edible disappointing meal. It's a mexican restaurant... for the price you pay they can't give you chips and salsa ? hard pass. read more

We arrived and it took a couple minutes until we were greeted and seated. It took another few minutes for the waiter to come take our drink orders or offer us water The food itself is ehhhh- my son ordered a burger, my husband ordered birria and I ordered chilaquiles. The patty itself was burnt and had this strong charred taste to it. My son did not even finish it and he loves burgers. The birria were okay but I guess you can't expect authentic Mexican taste from a spot like this. Same goes for the chilaquiles. As for the actual restaurant- it's located in a sketchy spot in DTSJ but that's pretty much everywhere. However, while we were eating, a homeless person walked in and started eating food and drinking from the glasses from the tables where people had already left but the silverware wasn't picked up. I am not sure we'll be dining here anymore- especially after seeing the last part. read more

Great spot. Good food and really clean. Parking sucks it thats san jo for you. Yelps make me wite 85 characters so im writing this

I must say first say the food was good! Although they didn't have a lot items on the menu, still using old menu's I would assume. But the service and the place overall was extremely disappointing compared to before it burned down. Seems like they spent very little and cheaply to reopen , since they have the other prime location! Just the vibes not the same ! We ordered 2 mezcal sours , they were anything but mezcal sours, didn't even have lime or lemon, we told the bartender if we could exchange them because they were terrible and not mezcal sours. He seemed a bit bothered and really questioned if we liked them. He ended up making 2 different drinks that were ok but sweet. Overall wouldn't go back read more

We hosted a large party for a bday event on a Sunday! Although super tight, the hosts were super accommodating for our large group. The top food were the ceviche and enchiladas.

I loved this place! The parking is limited as it's in downtown San Jose. However, we did not have to wait to be seated. The inside is trendy and nicely decorated. We immediately ordered cafe de olla which is traditional Mexican coffee with cinnamon and let me tell you, it is the best I've ever tasted!! Plus it comes in a cute little pot, makes u feel like you're in Mexico :) I had three cups of coffee, i just loved it. I was having a hard time picking what to eat, as everything sounded so delicious, and the server helped me pick out the best option. I believe his name is Andrew, he was patient and attentive. At one point he got super busy but he still checked in on us. I got the country fried steak and eggs and it was just bomb. The plate was so full i couldn't eat it all, i had to take the rest home. Everyone i came with finished their whole meal. We were all so happy and fulfilled. I will be coming back again! read more

I didn't have the best experience the last time I went to Tostadas. I dined here during my lunch time with some coworkers. We arrived at about 11:50, before the crowds arrived. I was excited to try the food as they had just reopened and remodeled from their fire. The waitress was very busy and honestly, very confused. We ordered all our food closer to 12pm. We were a larger party, but our food took way too long. The first meals came out for some people in our party at about 12:30. When they did, they were made incorrectly and needed to be sent back. The waitress was very confused about what was originally ordered and just kept running back and forth. I noticed that every table around us got their food before we did, even ones that ordered not too long ago. Most of us got our food at around 12:45pm, about an hour after we ordered. Even then, not all of us got our food with the last meal coming out at 12:55pm. For myself, I ordered scrambled eggs, bacon, and potatoes. They arrived about an hour after I ordered them, and they were bad. The bacon was pretty standard, the scrambled eggs were very overfried and crispy, and the potatoes were bland. Best part is that meal was $18!! :) I don't think I've ever been as disappointed at a restaurant than I was here. Not only were we on our lunch period getting food together and we didn't even have time to eat our food comfortably, the food itself was subpar at best. This is not a new experience, as I went to Tostadas about a year ago during lunch with a friend. The food took about 45 minutes to come out, and I had to take it to go immediately as I didn't have any time to eat it and had to go back to work. I'm disappointed with the service and food that I received at Tostadas and will not be returning back. read more
