    Tortillas de harina
    Anabel U.

    From the first time we tried Agua Salada from its early days we knew this would be a staple for us in San Jose because you cant go wrong here. We came for Valentines Day weekend, and while we missed the live music we were able to still receive the complimentary champagne and a rose from the owner. I ordered the camarones pa la diabla, which was a good amount of shrimp, with rice and beans. I opted for the tortillas de harina, which also were very good. There were a few times the food tasted saltier than my preference, but it didnt ruin the dish. We also got the deconstructed sushi rolls, which were very good and fresh. Not pictured was my partners ceviche de jiba (crab) that actually had fresh crab (and not imitation). Prices are on par with other restaurants, and for the bay area. The owner came around and checked-in on tables around us too, which was a nice touch. The place has booth seating and tables, but it seems to have been busy so you may have a bit of a wait (but totally worth it).

    The food was good. The sushi was okay, the ceviche azteca is really spicy, my favorite was ceviche de pescado (fish) à la sierra. The mocktails were just okay. I tried the pineapple paraíso. Went in on a Sunday, they had live mariachi. Vibes were through the roof; however I do think the place is too small to have live mariachi. It is extremely loud. (This is coming from someone who loves to blast music) The service was just okay as well.

    LOVEE this place!!!! The playlist was super good like all classics and the atmosphere was soooo good as well; very welcoming. Very fresh. The vibes are HERE. The lights and decor are also very nice as well as all the employees are very nice and welcoming The food is also the bomb!! I got tacos de asada and they were so good and super stuffed

    Chavela , beer line and slat

    We ordered the small portion (serves 2-3) for about 80 dollars . It's a great deal for 2-3 people The grilling was perfect , ambience in the restaurant was excellent and service was top notch They have a large seafood menu , the rest of which I am yet to try but I'm sure you won't be disappointed

    Camarones Al Mojo De Ajo
    Maricarmen C.

    We were craving aguachile recently and stopped by this place to try it out. It is very nice inside with plenty of seating and clean bathrooms. We were immediately seated and provided with cold glasses for our water and chips and salsa. I loved that the glasses were already cold, I thought it was a nice touch that I hadn't seen before. We tried their aguachile verde and camarones al mojo de ajo. Although very delicious, I just wish that the aguachile was left in the lime juice longer before being brought out. The staff were all very attentive and helpful and service was quick. It is located in a shopping center with parking available.

    Fajitas A La Mexicana
    Pranathi B.

    Our experience was not as good as the rest of the reviews. This is where Anejo was previously located. The ambiance infact seems similar to Anejo as well but apparently it's a brand new restaurant with new owners. *USP: slightly upscale Mexican cuisine. Lots of seafood based dishes. *Service: very attentive and friendly. We were served water and chips+salsa on the house as soon as we got seated. *Ambiance: lots of greenery, clean and pretty spacious. The blue fish shaped vases on the tables are pretty whimsical. *Food: this is where things fell flat for us. Lack of flavor and salt were a characteristic across all the dishes we ordered. Rice and beans were served in two of the dishes we got. The beans were cold and rice was crusty. Not sure if crusty rice was intentional but it tasted odd. The chicken fajitas were bland. The spicy Diabla shrimp was not as fiery or flavorful though it looked great. The chicken tacos were plain and simple with just chicken and onions, again lacking salt and flavor.

    Randomly stopped by here on our way back to SF, and was so impressed by their seafood dishes! We ordered their torre Marisco (seafood tower), carne asada plate, and fish tacos. Seafood tower was generous with the raw shrimp and seafood. Carne Asada grilled to perfection. I didn't have the fish tacos but they are double the size of an avg taco and mainly filled with fish and not filler ingredients. Portions are massive across the board at reasonable prices. Highly recommend to scratch that ceviche or aguachile itch! Only mild complaint is that the music is a bit loud so hard for convos but part of the vibe.

    Ceviche De Camaron Con Mango
    Nin J.

    We ordered the ceviche de camarón con mango ($22), aguachile with green sauce ($20), tacos dorados de camarón ($22), and tacos de pulpo ($28) and for drinks the Agua Jamaica ($4). The seafood was fresh and flavorful overall. The ceviche unexpectedly included peaches, which worked but wasn't listed on the description of menu. The green sauce on the aguachile was bomb. The crispy shrimp tacos were tasty but overloaded with sauce and toppings, masking the shrimp's flavor. Salsas were solid, and service was friendly and attentive. The space is open and inviting. Only downside: I saw a staff member behind the bar lick sauce off his fingers while working, which was concerning, but we weren't there for the bar, although it did affect my overall impression. Also worth noting, this lunch meal for 3 was $115, including tip. Still, worth a visit for the food and vibe.

    It's a great looking ambiance, tasty mocktails and delicious food. Server was very attentive and friendly. Will definitely come back to try more of their meals.

    (SJ) Food: CEVICHE DE CAMARON COCIDO (CON MANGO EN SALSAS NEGRAS)(9.2/10) POACHED SHRIMP MARINATED IN BLACK SEAFOOD SAUCE, WITH CUCUMBER, TOMATO, SWEET ONION, MANGO, AND AVOCADO. Large portion size for a small. It was definitely filling. It has a hint of spice in the end. They were generous on the shrimp portion quantity where most restaurants lack on. Could have used more lime and a little salt. TACOS CAPEADO DE CAMARÓN (9.5/10) (BATTERED SHRIMP TACOS) TEMPURA-BATTERED SHRIMP IN CORN TORTILLAS WITH A CRISPY CHEESE SKIRT. HOUSE SLAW. AVOCADO, AND SMOKY CHIPOTLE SAUCE. Lots of flavor and shrimp was cooked properly. Plenty of texture and the acidity of the lime blends well with the ingredients. SUPER BAJA STYLE FISH TACOS(9.3/10) ENSENADA-INSPIRED BATTERED ALASKAN WHITE COD. SERVED IN WARM TORTILLAS WITH AVOCADO, CRISP CABBAGE, AND SMOKY CHIPOTLE SAUCE. Fish was perfectly crunchy. It's not soggy or falls apart too easily like for fried fish taco. Plenty of flavor. Both tacos also looked aesthetically pleasing. All the tortillas held well together despite all the ingredients Setting: great for small to large groups with a bar in the entrance. Clean. There was a mariachi playing the entire time and honestly was incredible. They played great music. Has television which played the 49ers game which is a plus Service: great service. All the staff were friendly and attentive. Checked up on us. Only thing is they messed up on our order. We ordered 3 shrimp tacos and 2 fish but got switched. But both were really delicious regardless. Price: price was worth it given the statements above. Will return for sure Parking: plenty of parking in the front

    Raw not curtido warning.
    Alondra A.

    The sushi was bomb!! The vibe was cute, but would not recommend the ceviche or aguachile. It was entirely raw. I understand the concept of curtido, but the ceviche is straight crudo. Its a gummy texture. Sinaloa ceviche is crudo but not thaat crudo. Aguachile is usually on the greyer side because its supposed to tan quick but they cut the pieces so big that they wont ever tan(curtir) in the time you are in the restaurant. The ceviche should not be grey. They did not tan (curtir) it long enough. Ive had ceviche in multiple Mazatlán locations, it was never grey. When i let the waitress know, they said thats how they always are. So if you like your shrimp curtido dont come here because they are going to give it to you raw! Warning.

    Shrimp Tacos Dorados De Camaron
    Rachaelle S.

    This was a food truck and now this is their brick and mortar restaurant. As an avid food lover I had to try, so off we went on a weekday night hopeful it'd be our new favorite spot. The Great: - The energy from the music, to the bustle, to the staff singing happy birthday to patrons had me smiling the whole time - Interior is nicely done, can totally see getting margaritas and vibing to the music - Accommodation: My food was wrong at first, but they fixed it with a quickness! - Variety: Menu has a lot to offer Undecided: -The food (chips, guac, shrimp tacos, steak tacos) was... missing something. I don't know what it was, but it didn't quite hit like I was expecting it to based on other reviews. - There was a social media filming session happening while we were eating .. it was awkward, but I get it for publicity, no hate. Maybe do it without patrons there in the future? Overall, I will be back to try more of the menu & have high hopes for this place!! Will update in the future to see if it hits 5 stars for me.

    Aguachile De Camarón
    Sammi H.

    This spot is delicious! I've been twice in one month already hehehe. I was most excited to try the aguachile and it did not disappoint. Aguachile (10/10) - Good portion size to share or a feast for one. Super Baja style tacos (8/10) - Absolutely loaded and dressed. Good but it got messy. Grilled octopus tacos (10/10) - I love octopus so these were yummy! Service was great! Both times the servers were friendly and attentive. They opened recently so it was very clean too.

For instance, even though the menu stated that it offered happy hour on the weekend, the waiter, said no, there's definitely no happy hour today and we were there at 3pm. (Online it shows that happy hour is indeed offered on the weekdays and weekends, I should mention.) I feel like he should've at least walked over and confirmed with his manager because the manager was there onsite. There was also no price listed for the Pacific Caesar salad. So the server finally got back to me with the price. My friend said that she had just gotten it with chicken. The server said that adding chicken or salmon would be $8 for either one. However, also incorrect! Online it shows that chicken is only $6. (hello, fish is always more expensive, especially salmon.) I didn't trust what he said, so I decided to skip that dish. My friend had said it was really good too. Oh well. I also didn't appreciate how when I went to pay the 22% was also marked as a default tip, so I would assume he ticked that. This is the first time that I've had service that has been subpar. Almost every other time the servers have been outstanding. I felt like the waiter should've double checked a few things have not been lazy about it. A few months ago, my friend and I also went and they had a different menu. It was three for $16 or something. He also said he didn't have that today either. And he claimed there was no such menu. So maybe they got rid of it. However, it is still listed online? My friend had got the tacos before and she loved those so I'm posting that picture here as well but this was the prior visit in the spring.

The restaurant is located in downtown Campbell and there's plenty of street and garage parking. The restaurant itself had very simple, clean, and modern feel and was very intimate. The menu changes daily based on what's available, and we had the choice to do family sharing style ($125/person) or al la carte. Since the menu wasn't super extensive, we decided to give family style a try so we didn't have to think about what to order and how much to order. The family sharing style came with 4 raw dishes, 4 starter/appetizer dishes, 3 main dishes, and 1 dessert. For our raw dishes round, I really enjoyed the salmon (with some type of chili oil), and the scallops with Chinese sausage. For the appetizer round, I really enjoyed the clam (although a bit small) and the potato chip with caviar (very creamy and flavorful). As for the main, I really enjoyed the cornbread although would say the ikura gets a bit covered up by the creamy sauce (although still incredibly delicious). We also got a short rib but I found it to be a bit heavy in the sauce and on the saltier side. The dessert was a chocolate peanut bar that felt like a very elevated snickers bar. Overall, food is pretty good even though on the pricier side and the service is excellent. This is definitely more of a special occasion kind of restaurant!
