We were seated immediately, they brought out our water and took our drink order. It's an interesting decor, made me feel like I was back in the 60's. The music is loud but it goes with the ambience. It's Mexican food and sushi? Interesting right! I had shrimp tacos rice and beans, it was delicious! My husband had calamari and an asada taco. He enjoyed the asada taco, but the calamari was very small and chewy and tough. We both had Horchata, which was delicious. However I was watching the mixologist make drinks, he was making the best looking drinks. I asked if I could take pictures and they graciously said yes. Nice place, I'm excited to return and try new things. The only downside is I think the building is too small.
The food was great, large portions. Needed a little salt on everything. We got chicken fajitas, 3 taco combo, elote and guacamole. The chips are colorful, crispy, fresh and thin. The salsa reminded me of Pace Picante...not a fan. The waitress we had was friendly and attentive. Now, what knocked it down a star was the price! Expensive!!
Honestly, we do not know of too many "good" places to eat here. Not even with the help of Yelp, LOL. Quality/Quantity - This is probably more of a drinking establishment rather than food. Check out the pictures. Two Asada Taco - Very "fatty" pieces of meat, almost not edible. The flavors were good, but the texture and quality of the meat ruined this entree. Tropical Mango Roll - Pretty creative and good. Decent normal portion. I also like the fact they give both soy sauce and the mayo sriracha sauce. Novo Roll - Interesting, but not my taste. Although I like both mozzarella cheese and bacon, I just don't prefer it on top of my sushi. Interesting selection of hot sauces, condiments on each table; see picture. Complimentary chips if you eat in - See picture, these looked good. Liked the different colors. Can I suggest you throw some of these chips also for "to-go" orders...? Food cost can not be that much. Atmosphere - Cool, hip decor throughout. See pictures. Even the bathroom had cool decor. Indoor/outdoor seating. Bar, table, booth, and lounge seating. Open 6 days a week from noon until 8:30pm or 9:30pm; closed Mondays. Service - Good. Several team members helped us. Price - $60, expensive for what we got. This also includes the 5% living wage fee. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success for the last 2 years.
Decided to pop in for lunch on a weekday as we were making our way home from Pismo. The location is smack dab in the outlets, the side where Nike is. On the weekdays, the outlets are dead af so parking was a breeze. There was only one other table dining when we arrived. Our waitress was very nice, but she did inform us she doesn't speak English well. We didn't really have any issues communicating with her what we wanted to order, or anything else we needed. We decided to come here because their imperial oysters looked amazing. Freshly shucked oysters topped with ceviche? Count us in! However, they were out of oysters so that was a major bummer :( We opted for the ceviche mitotero, which has shrimp, octopus, scallops, and little chunks of raw tuna along with the normal cucumber, tomato, onions. It also has diced mango for that sweet tropical edge. I was a major fan of this but if you don't typically like mango salsa, this might not be for you. They serve this with a lime on the side but the ceviche was sour enough as it is. The tajin around the rim of the plate was a nice finishing touch too. I am not an octopus fan, but it wasn't bad in the ceviche as all the seafood was nice and tender. For $22, this was a huge serving, however they only give you two tostadas and two packs of saltines. We still had the basket of chips from the table, so we just ended up eating the ceviche along with this. We also ordered the taco trio. You get to mix and match 3 tacos of your choice, and it comes with a side of rice and beans too! The rice is on the stickier side, rather than loose, and the beans they covered with cotjia cheese which I felt was unnecessary but for $21 this is a pretty good deal. The tacos are bigger than street taco size, and your options range from octopus, shrimp, fish or carne asada. They do not have any other meat options on the menu. The baja shrimp taco was my fav, with huge crispy shrimps, and a delicious crema and slaw. My second fav was the tacos governador. Typically this is served with cheese but this one tasted like a shrimp fajita. Taste wise super delicious, but needed some extra texture. The carne asada tacos looked SO good and we really thought this would be our fav but it ended up being so mid. The steak was tender at least, and had a nice smokiness but it was bland, and needed more salt/flavor. We got the chicken tenders meal for my toddler and we can confirm the fries are from frozen, and the tenders are not white meat. She ate it though, so it is what it is lol FYI the salsas the tacos come with, as well as the one served with the basket of chips is pretty spicy. Also, they include a 5% surcharge automatically on the bill.
The Guerra sushi roll is my go to. Today I ordered it for lunch and when I got there it was packed and ready for me. I love the ambiance and artwork in the restaurant; it creates such a welcoming atmosphere that I find myself wanting to linger and order more. It's surrounded by other outlet stores so there isn't always parking nearby but that won't stop me from coming here.
This place didn't impress me or give me the same vibe that I received online. I was excited to come because people post the sushi rolls and the music, that I had super high expectations. We were standing for a couple of minutes when someone walked quickly to welcome and seat us. We were seated and given menus. Already there was nothing spectacular about their service or menu. It has all the items most seafood and sushi places have on their menu. The only surprising item was the hot Cheetos sushi. The server was either exhausted or having an off day. 2 stars for the service. The food was good, that's it, just good. The taco governador was alright. The sauce it came with was spicy. The sushi roll we ordered was actually better than good. The burger tasted like they poured an entire bottle of salt on it. When we tried to pay, the server told us to wait and was busy tending to another table. There were other employees so I'm not sure why they don't help each other out. Teamwork anyone? Overall, I was disappointed with the service and the over priced salty food.
The atmosphere is great! From the music on point to the drinks and the delicious sushi rolls. Our waitress Ashley was great: she knew her menu very well and fast to provide recommendations. My friend got the asada fries, which were full of flavor and fresh. I got the tropical roll, very light and refreshing. Thank you for the amazing food. I will be back soon
I have been here a couples times and am glad that I gave them a second chance. The first time I went I got the salmon lemon roll which wasn't very flavorful and the Blue Caracao drink because on here it looked good. But when I got it, it wasn't the same. I asked for sugar, it was extremely bitter, not sweet at all, the sugar didn't help, so that was a waste. I wouldn't recommend Sushi just go to Ninja Sushi. We shared the octopus. It was super spicy but it had a really good flavor to it. Pulpitaco was very very chewy so make sure you chewy very good so you don't choke. It tasted better with lime juice on it. The Tacomacho by far of they best item that I tried, it was so flavorful and now I want to go back an get more of those. I recommend asking for the sauce that they give you for sushi, it's good for dipping all of the foods (it's not soy sauce) and also the roasted wax peppers they give you with the sushi. I also bought some of the roasted wax peppers to go and I mix 3 scrambled egg and chop up one of the wax peppers in it with some salt and pepper... best eggs ever! You can also freeze the wax peppers.

New Gilroy restaurant alert! Culichis - Urban Kitchen, I Door Dashed this because it had FREE delivery! Apparently it is at the outlets next to PAC Sun, who knew?! It's a Mexican/ Asian fusion kind of place. Anyways, I ordered the Gringa, it's a quesadilla with shrimp and skirt steak, bell peppers and onions with guacamole. I thought I was ordering an appetizer - it is HUGE. And so tasty. Oh and their salsa was yummy and spicy. I could only eat one wedge (rest for lunch tomorrow) the edges were crunchy and the beef and shrimp were tender and succulent. I also ordered two beer battered tempura fish tacos with red and green cabbage, puck de gallo, avo and this delicious cilantro- jalapeño sauce drizzle. Crispy, light, citrusy and fantastic! I love a good fish taco! The only thing I would change is I wish their to go orders came with corn chips, they sent lots of salsa but no corn chips! read more

Great atmosphere once inside. Delicious food! Outstanding drinks! Absolutely coming back. The only thing I'd improve is don't take reservations. A family of 5 and I were moved to booths for a party of 8? who made reservations. Didn't show up the entire time I was there, nor the family. So, it was a bit off putting and for what? They didn't even show up...or at least for a LONG time when tables with room for 8+ were available. Honor the people who show up. Loved the experience minus being moved for no shows. read more

($17) Sushi, do not expect the traditional Japanese sushi, all sushis contain beef, personally I do not like the taste of these sushis, no soy sauce, no wasabi, I prefer the traditional seafood ones, ($25) the shrimp a la diabla that they serve you with a little white rice without salad and they don't give you tortillas, but the taste is good. The attention is excellent, If I wanted sushi, I would not go back to here, if I wanted Mexican food, yes. --------------------------- Si se me antojara comida japonesa no volviera aqui el sushi a mi gusto es malo, ya que la conbinacion con carne no va con sushi, no te lo sirven con salsas para sushi, si quieres comida mexicana es buena opción, el servicio es excelente Camaron a la diabla ($25) Novi Sushi ($17) read more

We have tried this place twice and the experiences were day and night, both times I ordered online to go 4 sushi rolls, we loved them all 4, order was made super fast, food was still warm when we got home and presentation was beautiful. Second time i ordered 2 of the same sushi rolls we had the first time. I t took 1 hour to get our food, we came to the front door to check multiple times and although the bag was sitting there, nobody bothered to check if it was ours, finally the guy that realized was our order wanted my husband to pay for it when I had already paid through grabhub. Our food was ice cold, tasted and looked nothing like the first time we ordered. I loved my food the first time I tried it but I don't know if we'll go back. read more

Great service like always food was amazing and great ambient. Highly recommend this place for a night out with friends especially if Elena is making your drinks. We had the margarita flights and spicy mamacita and don't regret it what so ever. Sushi was very savory and our Busser Gerardo was very efficient and very attentive. read more
Pretty good food and great service. My party was seated promptly after grabbing our menus at the entrance stand. The lady that served us was pretty unfamiliar with the menu as well as the payment process/etc., but she was new so it was understandable. We ended up ordering two asado tacos that came out piping hot and filled to the brim. Absolutely delicious, and the sauce accompanying the tacos have got a great kick. We also got the MOC roll which I do not recommend. The rice was mushy, and the roll itself was pretty bland. They also skimped on the fish, putting only a slice of salmon on 2-3 pieces of the roll. Totally not worth paying $18 for. Lastly, we ordered ceviche mitotero and it was great! It was my first time trying ceviche and I already love it. It was fresh, tangy, a little spicy, and a great dish overall. I will say that some of the shrimps were not deveined but I couldn't notice by the taste itself. We also asked to take our leftover chips and salsa to go and they packed us an entire new batch! Plus, the owner was very kind and went around checking up on everyone. If you're around gilroy outlets it wouldn't hurt to give this place a shot! Keep in mind it's a bit pricy. read more

Great costumer service, the staff was very attentive and friendly. Food tasted great, we ordered the calamari for appetizer. It was fresh and delicious. Calamari might of been a bit over cooked but the fried onions & fried jalapeños they add in made it all tasted delicious. The taco trio was delicious seafood tasted fresh with the perfect amount of seasoning. I got the octopus taco, asada taco & taco macho. Octopus was cooked perfectly, the meat in the asada taco was tender & the taco macho was cheesy & amazing. Definitely a place to go back to. read more

So me and my family decided to try something new, we had since this place before on our visits to the outlets and decided to give it a try. Needless the say we were not disappointed. The decor is very modern and has very good music lots of TVs if you come in to catch a game with some friends. And the Micheladas were on point. Food did not disappoint. Calamari was fresh and the fact that they added fried onion and fried jalapeño in the basket was a nice touch. Edamame was equally delicious. Tacos were behemoths to say the least and packed a ton of flavor. Sushi was a great treat and not to be downplayed. Overall a great experience. The bathroom threw me for a loop but it was very cool. read more

Stopped in randomly as passing through the outlets. I don't frequent find myself jn Gilroy often when starting some Christmas shopping I noticed this Restaurant. It was only noon...kinda early to start drinking and was craving breakfast more than sushi but oh well. I'm glad I made the choice to stop in. The staff was super friendly. Inviting and very accommodating. The vibe was cool, great variety of music and a clean atmosphere. I east sushi often and I do enjoy the Mexican infused sushi from time to time. This was one of those occasioned. I had a delicious Salmon Lime Roll, a super fresh Cevechi Plate and a great Oyster shot! And I wasn't even hungry. I will definitely be back! Can't wait to bring a group of friends and have a nice lunch or dinner party with friends! read more
