We stumbled upon a wonderful restaurant in downtown Los Gatos, and it did not disappoint! We ordered the guacamole, a mango habanero margarita, an enchilada, and a burrito -- and everything was delicious. As vegetarians, we're always a little cautious when dining out, but this place catered to us beautifully. The vegetarian options were not just an afterthought -- they were flavorful, satisfying, and genuinely impressive. Every dish hit the right notes and left our taste buds more than happy. A fantastic find and definitely a spot we'd return to! read more

Stopped into Andale for lunch. I ordered the two taco plate. I got one crispy and one soft. For the crispy I got Chile Verde and for the soft I got Al Pastor. This was darn good. Honestly, next time I am getting the crispy tacos. That was cooked to perfection. Both the Chile Verde and al pastor tasted great. The chips and salsa were also excellent. They have a small sauce bar and I loved the green salsa the most. The next time I am in Los Gatos, I am definitely stopping into Andale's again. read more

Andale Mexican Kitchen - Two Taco Plate (One crispy with Chile Verde) & (One Al Pastor) - Mexican Near Me - Los Gatos, California

This is for the Andale take-out restaurant. It's the best! Yu won't find better Mexican food in the Bay Aria. The burritos are carefully made and wrapped. The hired help are courteous and efficient. The place is insanely busy, so it's best to call your order in. I especially recommend their chile verde burrito. Amazing! Parking is close to impossible at times. so, I recommend driving with two so one can jump out and get the order while the other cruises around the block! Good luck and buen provecho! read more

My boyfriend and I decided to grab some food before heading to Summer beach then Watsonville for the 4th of July fireworks. He suggested this Mexican restaurant. I was charmed by the fun, semi-fancy atmosphere. Some of the paintings were funny. I wasn't super hungry, so I ordered some esquites from the small bites section in the menu and a sangria. My boyfriend went for a supreme quesadilla with guac and a Cadillac margarita. The food was good, and our server was incredibly attentive and nice. I did find the sangria a bit questionable, as it tasted more like red wine than the sweet sangria I'm used to. Also, the portions were a bit small for the price, which was a minor drawback. It was interesting to see the maracuya drink here, when I usually see them in Peruvian restaurants. Overall, it was an okay experience. read more

Came back after over ten years and they now have a vegan burrito that is delicious and filling. The SO got the al pastor torta and it came with a huge salad on the side. Will be back to retry the menu. Food still comes out fast and efficiently. read more

Loved the happy hour here! The Cadillac Margarita is delicious and not too sweet, and both the Baja and grilled fish tacos feature fresh fish, crispy tortillas, and great portions. The restaurant was crowded and understaffed, but the reception and servers were still incredibly attentive and nice. The space has a super cute patio out back with a cozy feel. Keep in mind the unisex bathroom needs a code. Great food, drinks, and vibes all around! read more

FOOD was decent. I had a chicken salad of some sort. The chicken was more burnt than I prefer. The bathroom requires a code. Inside is not the nicest ever but the stained glass on the walls were beautiful. Server at the register was cordial. read more

I love this place! The tofu enchiladas are to die for they are so so so good. I've had them several times now and they have wonderful burritos. I mostly order to-go and it's consistent EveryTime! Thank youuuu read more

Dont know what's happening but, TODAY! Today, was so average! it is now added to my "do not come in anymore " list! I had been coming for a while. Tired of getting the food warm not HOT. My shrimp were warm as well as the beans. The steak did taste well. Tired of the hot water $1 charge. It's not the amount it's the idea of charging just because it's temperature change, REALLY???? I don't get it nor do I care to get it anymore. I did not tip either. Get that one. I went next door and they gladly gave me my hot water that I enjoyed with a sweet treat! There should be no charge for hot water like most places. It's a cold day. All their offerings are either sugar or alcohol based. I'm not interested in neither. My body could use a warm liquid. I'm not wasting my time or $$$$ here anymore for Mediocre food. read more

Had not been to this place in many many years. They have now changed it to sit down only, which doesn't match up for a casual spot like this. The food was just OK. It definitely looked better than it tasted and I ate the whole plate because I was hungry, but it wasn't all that much food. It was nice food nothing special. I really didn't want to pay extra to have to tip, but of course I did. My lunch was about $31 for just a mediocre enchilada plate and a Diet Coke, including tip. read more

This is Andale Kitchen, not Andale Restaurant which is across the street. People are checking in and posting pics of the wrong place. Andale Kitchen is tiny with only 5 tables, a kitchen, and no outdoor seating.. If you want to order take-out the Kitchen is the easiest, fastest, & cheapest. If you want to sit down with a group or sit on an outdoor patio then you want to go to the restaurant across the street. We ordered takeout from the Kitchen location and it's okay, not great. They estimated 15 minutes but it was done in 5 so it sat on the counter for a bit before we got there. We ordered the Quesadilla Suprema (only 3 pieces), Burrito Chipotle, & the Breakfast Burrito. My gf said the breakfast burrito was really good. I thought the quesadilla and chipotle burrito were just okay(bland) and needed hot sauce from our fridge for flavor. I put the quesadilla on our comal to brown it & get it crunchy. Nothing came with salsa so be sure to ask for salsa if you want it. Basically our experience was meh... Americanized Mexican food, not our first choice but a lot of people like it. Try it, you might like it too. read more

My friend and I picked up lunch to go on a Thursday afternoon. It was fairly busy but no wait. The small kitchen restaurant feels too much like a small cafeteria inside. Although they do have some street patio seating. Which I would have opted for vs. the small dining area indoors. But we took ours to the Plaza park across the street. Way better option than anything else. The gentleman at the front taking orders was pleasant and knowledgeable about the recommendations of meats to choose from for my burrito bowl. I chose to go with "Al Pastor", black beans, leafy greens, no rice, Mexican cheese, salsa, jalapeños, and cilantro. My friend chose the crispy steak tacos (order comes with 3). I don't think I'll ever order the burrito bowl again. It was a small serving I side a large plastic bowl. For the price it's not worth it and the meat was so greasy. I could have easily poured out the grease there was so much of it. Since we were at the park, I didn't have anything to pour grease into. My friend said her tacos were ok in flavor and wouldn't order them again. Our meal cost was about $28. Wow! If you want Salsa from their salsa bar, they give you 3 small containers. You're only allowed 3 containers per order. (We ordered together.) Otherwise, they charge for additional containers. read more

This is the WORST restaurant in Los Gatos. They are rude have terrible service and the food is average at best. When I arrived I asked the lady at the counter to check an ensure that my order had the correct rice, so she knew I was there. I waited 15 min past the time my order was supposed to be ready and then was told it was sitting on the counter. She didn't even apologize or offer to make it right. Of course my food was cold and the salsa was watered down. What a joke!! I will NEVER go there again and I will let everyone in LG know this place is horrible! read more

Got an order to go. Guac was brown and smelled. Took back which took some time to return and the woman worker said, "it's fresh, deal with it." Certainly not having a good night. So, just a heads up maybe check the Togo guac. read more

Andale Mexican Kitchen - Here's the guac. - Mexican Near Me - Los Gatos, California

I ordered takeout here for a Wednesday lunch. I got the Grilled Fajitas with steak and Baja Fish Tacos. The steak in the grilled fajitas were pretty good, tender and a little chewy. It went well with the peppers, onions, and guacamole. The rice and beans on the side weren't anything special. The fish tacos needed some work. The fish itself and the salsa were really good, crunchy fish even after ordering it takeout. However the taco shells and other toppings needed improvement. The shells were too weak and easily ripped. It would have been better if they added a second shell so that it has a better chance of staying together, as most other taco places I've tried so. There was also too much red cabbage on the taco, which was overpowering the taste. read more

I've definitely had better..they were pretty quick with making my food but while I was eating, someone was yelling in the back... the chipotle burrito was OK. I prefer my shrimp to be grilled like on a barbecue and my steak to be square cut pieces and not brisket.. I enjoyed the nachos, but the rest was all right. The only thing was that the nachos chips were burnt and I don't prefer my chips to be that way. read more

*First time review, DoorDash order* Danggg this place is good! My partner didn't feel like going out tonight because of the crazy rain we are having so we DoorDashed. Nachos: 4.5/5 partner ordered nachos with steak (no sour cream) and that's exactly what he got. He said they were sooo good and the steak has lots of flavor. Huge amount for the price too. Will definitely order again. Tortilla soup: 5/5 this is one of the best tortilla soups I've had in forever! I was a bit nervous ordering this for delivery because the tortilla chips would be soggy but they had an option for me to select "on the side". Loaded with so much chicken, fresh avocado slices, the broth was very flavorful and still hot! They also gave me a lot of tortilla strips, no shortage by any means. Can't believe this soup was $12. We are 100% going to order again and dine in next time. read more

I've been coming to Andales for about 24 years, and have always loved their food- fresh grilled meats, healthy salads and seafood entrees. But recently they have become increasingly stingy- charging more for less, miserly on condiments containers and have taken their à la carte items off the menu. Today I wanted to order a mesquite chicken salad for myself and an enchilada for my husband. He has a small appetite. They refused to sell me an enchilada without the whole combo. The lady said that sometimes people come in and only order one item (ie taco or such) and it's "not worth it to them." I was adding that to my mesquite chicken salad and we didn't want a combo plate. Every other Mexican restaurant Ive ever been to sells à la. Carte items. I said okay never mind. So they missed out on a sale and also I'm pretty sure this is my last time there- they've gotten too tight. You'd think the would appreciate a long time customer more than trying to force giant combos on folks. Disappointed with their trending towards being un- accommodating read more

We had 10 people and planned to go to a nearby restaurant but they were all booked. So I headed over to Andale hoping they could accommodate us. The hostess asked their server Rafael and he quickly accommodated us and made our experience amazing. Always a great place to eat with wonderful service especially with Rafael . Will definitely return again. read more

really wanted to like this place, but unfortunately, it missed the mark on almost every level. The food was bland. I've had more flavor from a microwave burrito. The salsa tasted like watered-down tomato juice, the guacamole was brownish and clearly not fresh, and the tacos were soggy with overcooked meat, we also order a burrito that we can't even hold it it was falling apart their chile relleno is a nasty joke this place has nothing Mexican. Except for the name Service didn't help the situation either while we were trying to get some help raising hands our server was talking to a man I'm assuming is the supervisor or manager having fun making jokes in Spanish with the kitchen staff too very dissatisfied with the experience. And For the prices they charge, I expected something at least edible not a sad, lukewarm plate of disappointment. Won't be returning. read more

I walked in for the first time in several years... my mistake. Bottom line, $20 for a burrito to go I asked for hot sauce and was informed that they don't give out sauce for free. The whole interaction was as if they were doing me a favor taking my money. I couldn't tell you if the burrito was any good, I tossed it cause I made a fuss about the hot sauce/salsa extra charge thing before I got my order. Rookie move on my part. read more

Vegan / vegetarian reviewer: The food was nothing great, it was just okay. The vegan burrito was pretty small and they served it in a plate, but it was packed as if it were a takeout. Yes I am reviewing the dine in restaurant, not the take out one. The waiter got us the food pretty quickly. But it wasn't worth the money we spent, I wouldn't recommend this business. My partner didn't complain about the food- but both of us came home and ate another meal coz it wasn't filling or satisfying. I was absolutely mad that the restroom wasn't maintained at all. Isn't a Sunday evening, a peak time for a restaurant business? It looked like they didn't care. Not just one thing- it was dirty everywhere even though they did have a code to use it. The restroom was pathetic, a public restroom I used after the hike was much more cleaner than this one. This is in downtown so I would suggest finding parking in a garage nearby. read more

Uniqueness: What happened here? Used to have excellent service and quality has dropped Wait Time: [x][x][x][x][ ] Food Quality: [x][x][ ][ ][ ] Service: [x][x][x][ ][ ] Setting: [x][x][x][x][ ] Cost: [x][x][x][ ][ ] Recommendation? Recently, I would not recommend visiting here as food quality has dropped. Don't get the nachos as it became a heated block of soft chips bound together in cheese. I used to love visiting Andale all the time for some good Mexican food but my last visit here (probably my last visit here for a while) was not great. Service seemed uninterested to be there and it seems like management here changed over the years. We got the nachos, crunchy tacos, and the quesabirria taco, and all had their own bits of issues. The nachos for starters was just a mound of cheese with soft chips stuck inside that was difficult to separate. I wouldn't even call it a proper nacho for what it was. The quesabirria was crisp but was much more saltier than I expected; the fact that it was very oily was not an issue as that's expected for Quesabirria. The crunch tacos was the only thing that wasn't too off-putting but was pretty straightforward to begin with, nothing too unique I would say. Cost for everything was what you'd typically expect for a bit higher end Mexican food. I left Andale disappointed during my last visit and I won't be coming back for a while to see how things improve. I wouldn't recommend this place for others for the time being and better to try other places if you want to enjoy your meal. read more

We stopped here on our way back from Monteray. The kids were in need of some food in their system so we came here to take a breather after a long trip back. We sat down and then quickly realized that they are a bit disorganized. We wanted to order a few dishes and were told that they didn't have them anymore. It was 1PM on a weekday??? Well anyway we ordered other dishes that were in fact on the menu. The shrimp taco dish I had was pretty tasty. I ordered a snapper dish for the kids and it lacked seasoning especially salt and was not edible. I felt bad and didn't say anything as our waitress clearly felt bad! So I definitely give an E for effort in terms of the staff as it's clearly not their fault. The ambiance was lovely, filled with nice little trinkets and soft music. So if you're in the mood for a quick bite, I'd say stop here but be prepared to deal with disorganization and possibly things on the menu that are not available. Overall I'd give it 3.5/5 read more

Let's start by clearing up confusion: this is the original, smaller location near the corner of Main. While they have the same food, for no obvious reason, I prefer this location. I first went to Adale in the late 90s but I'm an irregular customer. I'll go a few times in several months and then not at all for 6 months. On a recent visit, I re-sampled several of my favorites. As other Yelpers have noted, the prices are higher, the portion sizes might be a bit smaller, and there are no longer free sides. Shrinkflation. Four stars down to three. Despite that, the food is still flavorful and we enjoyed our meals. Chipotle Shrimp Tacos: Shrimp, salsa, black beans, and rice. Also available as a burrito. The default if you're unsure. El Presidente Burrito: Chicken, shrimp, beans, rice, lettuce, salsa, & pico de Gallo. Shrimp is on top for eat in and on the side for take out. My favorite. 90s Burrito: Chicken or Shrimp. Greens, Avocado, Tomatoes, Corn Chips, Goat Cheese & House Dressing -- in a spinach tortilla. Weird but works. An acquired taste for sure. No one has ever been able to tell me why this is the 90s. Fish taco: cod with spicy cabbage and avocado salsa. Comes with two shells not four, like some places. I remember there being much more fish. I like Andale much better than the chains but it's not as great as it used to be. read more

It's a Bay Area institution and certainly for Los Gatos. They changed this location from self-serve to table service a few years ago and they have a nice outdoor seating area in the back as well. The expanded menu has also added some nice variety. My usual is the chile relleno which is fantastic, but decided to try the quesabirria which was one of the newere menu items. They were fantastic! Sometimes the shredded beef can be dry and tough, but it was very tender and flavorful. Nicely crisped tortillas, a little bite from the raw onion and nice oozy cheese. Dunked into the consomme is the perfect pairing. We started with guac and chips which usually are pretty good, but last night was slightly watery which also made it a little more bland which was unfortunate. Service was friendly, folks there are usually always with a smile. read more

They give you 3 salsas per order whether you order 1 thing or many. Ordered 5 things for each of my family and still got 3 salsas. Should be per item. Was better off literally placing 5 different orders and getting 2-3 salsa cups each. Bad math! Bad customer loyalty! read more

Terrible food, terrible service. We showed up at 10 minutes before closing (mistake). Our food was not cooked!!!! Service was awful. We were literally told to leave before we finished our food and they started to vacuum around us....I'll never return after being a customer for 25 years. Recommend Dona Maria read more

This restaurant is a gem! Staff is super friendly, the interior is really nicely maintained with a very nice patio as well. The food was EXCELLENT. The menu is big with lots of variety and everything is clearly labeled. I am the only vegan in my family so I love restaurants like this that have options for everyone. The vegan burrito was amazing and the guac and salsas were 10/10. Will definitely be back. read more

Food was OK but the portions were smaller than the prices should be IMO. That said, the customer service SUCKS! My wife and I ordered take-out last Saturday from Andale, and, when we picked up our food there were no hot sauces available (they used to have green and red sauces out) and the "condiment stand" had some old cilantro, a couple of minced onions (also looked old) and NO Peppers (Again)...seems every time I've been there, it's the same. When I asked the woman behind the counter about this she said, "what ever is there is all we have"...really??? it was 6:15pm and you are out of the key ingredients of a Mexican Restaurant??? This is LG and there are tons of places to chose from...You know, ones who actually want your business. I suggest going to Nina's Taqueria or Zona Rosa instead. read more

Horrible service. I went here 6 times in July and when I found a huge long white hair in my food I called and asked to have them remake my meal for the next time I came in. When I came in 3 days later in 7/31 at 1:20pm I was accused of lying about the hair, the order or something but this lady would not give me the meal replacement. Im sorry but I don't need a free burrito. I wanted what I was told I would get. A replacement for the food I had to throw away. What is right is right. I couldn't find the receipt but here are my band transactions you asshole. Again, a customer who orders food for their family 6 times in a month and just wanted one burrito to be remade because I had to toss it after finding a giant hair. after looking at this lady's hair I'm pretty sure it was hers and that's why she was so defensive. read more
