    Baja Fish Taco
    Eric H.

    A decent Mexican place in Los Gatos that I usually make online orders for. I usually get the El Presidente Burrito and 2 Baja Fish Taco. The burrito on the outside is a bit messy, as it is covered with guac and shrimp. I usually just start eating the burrito without it and spread the guac and a piece of shrimp inside between bites. Their guac is really good! The fish tacos are also pretty good. Crispy and crunchy. I do wish they gave a second tortilla on the bottom, otherwise if I leave the taco alone too long it might start getting soggy and rip more easily.

    Put avocado on wrong order. Didn't want to make good on it, charged me $3 anyway. Whatever happened to customer service? This place used to be good, but has gone downhill

    This place is why I wish Yelp offered half stars and it should have received a 2 1/2 from me. Now this place isn't bad but it's just very average. My burrito and bottled soda was $16. The burrito was also small. I have gotten way better, bigger and tastier burritos at my local Mexican market. The chicken tinga was good but just not great. I'm also not a fan of restaurants that only offwr cans or bottles and not a soda machine. Kinda cheap to me. Also no chips. If you're looking for good Mexican food you probably shouldn't come here. You can get so much better for cheaper elsewhere.

    Nice restaurant on the main Santa Cruz strip. It has a cozy backyard patio, and a smaller pet friendly patio area out front. It has been a long time staple in the area for many decades. Stopped by for dinner again recently and ordered... * Chips & guac -- Nice fresh tortilla chips. Guac was fresh but could have used more spice and tang. Congress with 3 different salsas... salsa fresca, green salsa and red salsa. * Enchiladas Verde -- Comes with 2 enchiladas stuffed with chicken, and a side of Spanish rice. Chicken was a little on the bland side. * Salmon Salad -- Grilled salmon was decent. Salad has a good variety of organic greens, cucumber, tomato, and bits of goat cheese and avocado with a light vinaigrette. Service was friendly enough. Food is decent, but nothing particularly crave worthy.

    Welcoming Kind service team, beautiful interior and exterior, easy to follow menu, food brought out relatively quickly. Even the grilled chicken in the salad was perfectly made. There is something for everyone!

    IMHO OMG, today I ate the best enchiladas evah!!! My friend and I both ordered the Andale Enchiladas with our choice of proteins. Our platters came out quickly and beautifully presented. The enchilada sauce was intriguing at first sight. It looked more watery and lighter in color, than I'm used to. However, this house-made ranchera sauce totally made the dish. It was wonderfully tasty and flavorful! I loved it!!! Alexander was our genuinely friendly and efficient server! We dined in the open-aired and covered back patio. I look forward to returning again very soon! However, I wish we were given a complimentary basket of chips and salsa, as most Mexican restaurants do...

    First of all let me start this off stating that the servers and staff are friendly and excellent. I am sure the cooks are too, however we did not meet them. This place was given to me as a recommendation m y a friend of mine. This friend had gone there years ago and thought it was excellent. Something unfortunately has changed, at least when we went there the other night. All 3 of us buds went into downtown Los Gatos to eat here, as one was staying in Los Gatos and we wanted to make it more convenient for him. WE sat in the back patio. So it was ok, but there were a ton of flies lingering around and flying, that was not the greatest, but there is not much you can do. Only one server for about 10-12 tables, and that was terrible. She was overworked and stressed. She smiled even though she was overworked in this. She seemed a bit scattered. Perhaps they should have 2-3 servers out there. So lets get to the food and drinks. Um well, not really great. Sadly my friends Ice Tea he complained tasted like soap :( So perhaps the glasses were not complete in rinsing. Lets now move on to my food that I ordered shall we. I ordered the carnitas, when they got to the table with the corn tortillas they were stale, the tortillas. The girl was nice enough to replace them with flour..which were great. The Carnitas were a bit tough and the portion was not very much, at least on my plate. My friend ordered the same thing and his was much more. Perhaps they figured since I was a huskier guy I needed the diet portion :) Nonetheless, it just was not the best. Sad to say, since we were expecting more. I am speechless. Seems everywhere you go now, either people and the venues either have lower quality due to all the covid stuff or not training staff well. Not sure what it is. Also could have been they were all overworked. I always try to give a fair review. However seems more and more reviews are lacking being stellar in presentations and food and service. I would recommend staffing more with servers. Having your assistants that bring out the food be quicker and more aware of issues before presenting. I cannot comment on the cooks, since I am sure they are doing the very best they can with the situations. Would I go back? Probably not given the whole evening and situation. One of us out of 3 enjoyed their meal.

    Ok

    Andale... to the bathroom. I rarely give restaurants two stars, and I feel bad because the service, atmosphere, and location are all great. But, I wouldn't eat there again. We didn't want to pay for chips and salsa so we got the nachos. Who has the best in Los Gatos? They're NOTchos. These were fine, though the cheese wasn't melted. The cheese for the fundido was not melted either: you have to andale before it coagulates. Maybe these guys didn't pay their gas bill. They might want to up the wattage of the hair dryer they're using. The not-so-fundido came with soyriso, corn tortillas, and bread that were dry. The potatoes were dry, too. Like maybe they don't even use oil? But super dry and completely dependent on the two small sauces: one, unpleasantly smoky, the other completely void of flavor. We didn't even finish them they were so dry. We took a bag of them home. Not to eat, but to stick in our iPhones in them if we accidentally drop them in water. Sucks that there are no soda refills given how dry and flavorless the food. I had to rely on my tiny $13 margarita. My mediocre El Presidente Burrito should have built that wall. To keep me from eating there. As I ate the seemingly undercooked, flavorless shrimp I told my wife to tell the doctor that's what got me. I started imagining Bubba from Forrest Gump. You can have shrimp salmonella, shrimp giardia, shrimp listeria, shrimp botulism, shrimp e. Coli... just kidding, just kidding. To be clear, the restaurant has passed all health regulations, and I'm just joking. (But make sure this wasn't my last review, just in case)

That said, the timing and service were a different story. It was a slow Sunday evening, yet the wait for our food took much longer than expected. Our server was friendly, but when the fajitas arrived, only the shrimp was brought out. The chicken I ordered was forgotten. I politely mentioned it, and when the chicken was brought out, it came out extremely smoky--so much so that our entire table and nearby tables were coughing. It sizzled a bit too aggressively at first, which wasn't very pleasant, though it eventually died down and I was able to enjoy it. For dessert, I ordered the churros. I believed the menu indicated they came with vanilla ice cream, but they were served with whipped cream instead, and the churros themselves were hard rather than soft, which was another disappointment. I'm giving three stars because the food itself was delicious. The experience was just impacted by service delays and a few execution issues.

I would suggest that the serve mention that when taking orders so we know. Just because it's at the very bottom of the menu I didn't notice it until I asked for a dessert menu. The food was so good! We had Mexican jambalaya, Carne asada plate, tacos Dorado, enchiladas with both sauces, parillada, enfrioladas (bean enchiladas) tacos de pescado, Don julio flight, multiple drinks and churros. The churros were really good although we wish there was a non filled ones too and to have the optionof if we wanted it dressed up because churros are already super sweet with the cinnamonand sugar dusted but caramel and whip cream was added along with a strawberry filling. We also ordered a tres leches cake but we didn't like the tres leches cake, it was too sweet, so sweet that we couldn't taste the filling which we assume was pineapple lol the color was yellow with pieces of fruit but we couldn't taste it. Overall the service was great and quick. I would definitely come back here.

Plenty of parking available since the restaurant is in a strip mall. It wasn't too busy when we got there, but then it started picking up. There was only one server working and she was really hustling to meet everyone's needs. Plus, she was friendly. I had the carne asada burrito, it was good but nothing over the top that made it stand out. My friend had enchiladas with mole. We were most excited about dessert and decided to share the churros and Tres leches. It was a nice touch that the churros and Tres leches did not come plain, a little pizzazz since they were both served with berries, whipped cream, and a cajeta style sauce. Both of the desserts were so good and a perfect touch of sweetness.
