    First time here after my son's baseball game, and this spot hit the spot! I had a serious craving for molcajete and ordered the molcajete mixto -- it came with chicken, fish, cooked oysters, shrimp, and steak & can't forget the onion with the bell peppers & nopales. The flavor was amazing, and the juices were so good I used the oyster shell as a spoon! Outside, there was a gentleman making fresh handmade tortillas -- those were too. We came on a Saturday and it was pretty empty, but we actually liked that. Chill vibe, no wait, and great service. Our waitress was super friendly. Only heads up -- they don't have a kids menu, but we ordered a burrito for my son and he enjoyed it. My husband got a michelada with shrimp on the rim and loved it. Food came out fast, tasted fresh, and left us full and happy. Not 100% sure if they have a restroom -- I didn't see one, but I didn't ask either. Overall: 9/10. Definitely coming back! ------------------------------------ Primera vez aquí después del partido de béisbol de mi hijo, ¡y el lugar nos encantó! Tenía antojo de un buen molcajete y pedí el molcajete mixto -- traía pollo, pescado, ostiones cocidos, camarones y carne. ¡El sabor estaba increíble! Los jugos estaban tan buenos que hasta usé la concha del ostión como cuchara Afuera había un señor haciendo tortillas a mano -- ¡estaban riquísimas! Fuimos en sábado y estaba tranquilo, lo cual nos gustó. Buen ambiente y la atención muy amable. No tienen menú infantil, pero pedimos un burrito para mi hijo y le gustó mucho. Mi esposo pidió una michelada con camarones en el borde y le encantó. La comida salió rápido, todo fresco y sabroso. No estoy segura si tienen baño porque no vi ninguno, pero tampoco pregunté. En general: 9/10. ¡Sí volvería!

    Came across this restaurant it's a must try if your down for some michoacan Mexican food. Has a killer cool vibe and the customer service was top notch. If your out this way come try this place out

    The food was delish!!!! The service excellent. They have a front patio with a 2nd cooking station to see them cook these beautiful dishs. This is home base if you like carnitas. It's kinda tucked in the corner on Monterey Road near the Capitol drive ins Go check them out

    Enchiladas Michoacanas

    Yummy Enchiladas Michoacánas. Service is quick and nice servers, the music is loud but it's no problem for me. Would be five starts if they put more filling in the enchiladas, but overall really good.

    It's my second time here and the food is great. The mole was like my mom used to make.

    Love it! My partner and I were only in San Jose for the night. We had a hankerin' for some real (non-chain restaurant) Mexican Food. I'd checked reviews and was excited for a place with a regional especiality. The menu is in Spanish, with lots of photos. The staff is everywhere friendly, happily explaining some dishes Id never seen. The food you ask? Amazing!!! From the more traditional enchiladas she ordered to the totally unique michoacan specialty dishes I ordered off the specials of the House menu whose name I cannot recall... We could not stop eating even though we knew we were too full and should stop. Don't even get me going on the drinks. If you're a fan of holding a goblet of happiness with two beer bottles hanging upside down out of it and half of the shrimp of the Pacific Ocean trying to jump out, this is the place for you. If you're in town give them a try you will not be disappointed.

    Molcajete Mixto
    Enrique G.

    I was looking for a good authentic Mexican restaurant and this one is pretty right on. It's small little restaurant but it has a bar and they play music. I ordered the molcajete mixto, it came with beef steak pieces, chicken, fish, shrimp, clams, cactus, chorizo and onions with green pepper and can't forget the side of homemade tortitas ! My only complaint would the amount of meat you get but it was very good! I enjoyed it and left with a full stomach !

    We usually go to the location in downtown but was so excited to find out that there is another location closer to us! We ordered our usual - 2 orders of menudo, birria and ceviche for takeout. Imagine our disappointment when we got home and realized the menudo was mostly just broth! We're all for supporting small and local businesses during these trying times but we work hard for our money too. Really hoping they will see this review and make some improvements!

    Chicken tostada..so delicious!!

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.

The service is not the best and you have to try hard to catch the servers attention. The food was better this time, but not as good as many other Mexican restaurants. It is not what I consider authentic Mexican food.

We waited 1.5 hours to be seated while half the restaurant sat empty. After we were seated, it took about 30 minutes for anyone to ask if we wanted drinks, another 30 minutes before our order was taken, and then an hour for the food to arrive. Throughout the wait, several servers were gathered in the corner talking and laughing while tables--including ours--were left unattended. Unfortunately, the food didn't make up for the service. The meat was dry, lacked flavor, and the shrimp was so chewy that I couldn't finish it. It was honestly one of the worst shrimp dishes I've ever been served. I've seen countless influencers giving this place glowing reviews, and after eating here, I simply don't believe them. My experience was the complete opposite. If you appreciate good food and good service, I would strongly recommend spending your money somewhere else.

The staff were attentive, gave great menu recommendations, and constantly came by to refill our water. Very spacious dining room. We started with the Queso Fundido, served on a small hot plate with chilis, garlic, and oil on top. It's basically a block of cheese served with chips. Even with the hot plate, it didn't stay gooey for long, but it was a pretty good starter. The Coconut Campachano was creamy and refreshing.

The tacos were generously filled, the tortillas were delicious, and the aguas frescas were refreshing. There was a small mix-up with our order at first. Our waitress accidentally thought we had only ordered six tacos instead of twelve, so we initially received six tacos, one side of rice and beans, and were still waiting on our drinks. When she came by and noticed one of us wasn't eating, she asked if we were waiting on anything. We explained that we were still supposed to receive six more tacos, another side of rice and beans, and our drinks.
