We've tried their fish, carnitas, and birria tacos - all of which were amazing, though the birria and fish tacos were the clear standouts. The mango paired with the crispy fish is a true winner & you can't beat the ultimate comfort food of the birria taco. The presentation of the food is also stunning, with dishes served beautifully on black slate plates and mini cast-iron pans. I have to give a special shout-out to the chef: this is officially the only restaurant where I have actually finished the accompanying sides of refried beans and rice. They were absolutely outstanding! If you haven't been to Hercules yet, it is a must-visit. Don't miss out on their great drinks either--the hibiscus margarita is highly recommended!

I was very very pleased with the food and our experience here.

Enjoyed the large tables, lights and ambiance. Would be a fun place for a group to get together. Now for the food - we were very happy with everything we ordered. We started with the queso fundido which was smaller than I expected but very good! For entrees we tried the quesabirria and fish tacos. The birria taco may have been my favorite bite! Delicious!! The enchiladas trio was also well executed. Tried the TJ Caesar Salad, the tamales and the chips and guac. The guac was another star, but the tamales were probably my next favorite bite. I would recommend trying 1 of each of the flavors. All were good and the sweet corn tamale was a surprise hit!! Would definitely come back here again!

She was welcoming and made us feel like we were at home. On a prior visit my bartender was Erin and I said she was a brand ambassador for Loma Brewing and Chantel was the same. She seemed to love her job and eager to make our experience a memorable one. I live on the East Coast so I only get to visit Loma Brewing when on business in the Bay Area but every-time I make time to visit. Love the beer and each time have tried different food that was well above average. Keep up the excellent customer service you all are doing it the right way. It is a reflection of the entire staff.

All the drinks pair well with the wide range of food options on their extensive menu. There's plenty of seating both indoors and outside, plus several TVs throughout for watching sports. I ordered the Hop Holistics, a fresh, fruity Hazy IPA with a low 5.6% ABV, making it easy to enjoy more than one. I also tried the Alpha Dog West Coast IPA, which has a higher ABV and was another tasty choice, especially with my burger. I went with the smashburger and fries, and it was fantastic. Packed with flavor from the Memphis‑style BBQ sauce, avocado, and pickled red onions on a brioche bun. We were sharing it, and they even split it onto two plates for us -- a small touch we really appreciated. Only complaint was the bartender was NOT friendly at all. We felt like we were making him work. Definitely need to get someone that wants to work and not that guy! Despite this, we'll definitely be back to try more of the menu and enjoy another brew.

I wasn't expecting much in terms of food, but I was pumped to get my bocce on. To my surprise, the food was a lot better than I expected! We got a variety of bites - charcuterie board, meatball sliders, wings, and Bruschetta. Then pizzas, salad and desserts. My favorite from the spread were the carnivore pizza, meatball sliders, and cheesecake. We brought our own bottles of wine in and the corkage fee was $20 per bottle. The bocce was harder than I expected, I need to come back and give it another go with some practice shots before jumping right in. Overall a super fun place to come with a group!

It's absolutely unsanitary and can simply be resolved with food nets or table fly fans. Overall, It's perfect for private events and large gatherings. There is always a variety of tasty dishes served. The lamb chops are one of their stand out dishes. These small tender meat lollipops were prepared perfectly and not chewy or tough. The waitstaff were professional and always prepared to take drink orders and to clean up abandoned plates. Hoping in the near future the venue will have some kind of plan to keep flies and yellow jackets off the food.

That's what Casa Lupe Real is, family pride at it's best. From the chicken grande burrito, that you literally didn't need teeth in order to eat it. I have never had a tortilla melt in your mouth.

If you're a fan of margaritas, boy, do they know how to make a good one. Likewise, their fruit, Long Island iced tea is dangerous it's so good. This family run restaurant is a true gem of Saratoga.

I'd been following them on instagram eagerly awaiting their opening, so when opening week finally came, I rushed in. They were still in sort of a soft opening phase trying to figure out what the hours would be, but I was thrilled to have them open a little bit earlier on a Sunday so we could enjoy some post hike bubbles. When we went in they had two different flight options of three champagnes. We opted for one of each to share, so that way we could try all of the open bottles. In addition to the flights they have champagne by the glass, bottle, and half bottle, as well as a still red, white, and rose, and a beer. They also have a few n/a options and some snacks and light bites. Mel helped us the entire time and was very fun to chat with! A lot of the time champagne can feel unapproachable, and that was not at all the case here. The whole experience was very fun and casual, but in a beautifully upscale space. Whether you're a champagne expert or have never tried it, this is a great spot to come.

The Pastor tacos were my favorite of the night. But really, there was nothing that we had that wasn't amazing. The salsa trio was a stand out-- all three salsas were so different from one another, and complemented the meal perfectly. The guacamole was also amazing. The absolute best part of the meal was the cocktail I ordered. It might have been the best cocktail I've ever had. I wish I remembered the name of it, but I'll be back soon to show them the picture and confirm the name, plus have them make me one again!! I know it was one of their margarita options. I honestly think Dos Burros has some of the best drinks around-- worth coming here for that alone. Our server was phenomenal. She had great recommendations and was checking in on us the perfect amount to not be annoying but also make sure we had everything we needed. The space itself is gorgeous and cozy. Bathrooms are spacious and clean, and the music was great throughout the night. Can't wait to come back:)

The indoor seating felt a bit cramped and echoey from the nearby tables and I wished there was an available outdoor table. The have cocktails , two mocktails, draft beers, and some wines. The wine menu was limited but I enjoyed the Cabernet Sauvignon that the server recommended. The mini quesadillas came with four and tasted really good, came with some sour cream, guacamole, and pico. We didn't order any of the tacos since each order came with four. I prefer it when orders come with one or two and then you get to try a variety. Jardin Ensalada was fine , I liked the ingredients, but it was a bit tangy and on the smaller side. We typically like to share our salad, but it wasn't very shareable. The nachos were amazing and honestly what we intended to try after seeing pictures. The nachos did not disappoint. It had the perfect combination of cheese, refried beans, sour cream, guacamole, pico, and you can add a protein. I was impressed that the chips stayed crispy until we finish the dish, I feel like that is uncommon. Service was basic, not particularly warm or attentive. I did appreciate the birthday ice cream though !

We came right before 5pm, before the kitchen opened so we ordered drinks while we waited. Husband was very impressed with their wine list, which is a good sign. He was excited to try different wines and it's awesome they offer half pours so he could try more. But oh-my-gosh. GET. THE. SANTORINI. I loved that drink. Milk punch, yoghurt ... it was so refreshing and milky. I felt like I was in south of France or in Hawaii, sitting on the patio with the slight breeze and plants around and quiet atmosphere. It was so yummy, I got a second. This is a big indication how good the drink is because 99% of the time I usually have my husband finish my drink and never order a second one...especially the SAME ONE. But omg, I need to go back to get another. I've been dreaming of it. Service was great. Esp since we were one of the only guests, they tended to us well. It can be easy to forget about the guests on the patio but their cadence in checking on us was good. Portion sizes for the food is quite generous. We're used to octopus dishes coming out really small as tapas, but they gave a lot. And I loved the fried kidney beans that came with it. I liked how the bluefin tuna crudo came in a light oil and not overly sauced or salty. Pork chop ... WOW. Huge portion, we were so impressed. Rich flavors, delicious. Boar pappardelle, daughter did her happy food dance so you know it's good. Al dente and great taste.
