Overall subpar flavors and absolutely not worth the long wait…read more I came across this vendor through a festival unfortunately they are not equipped to meet the demands of event goers. Hopefully their catering is better. Waited over an hour for empanadas, rice and plantains. The food was sadly overcooked, skimpy and not worth the cost. I do think with some operational improvements they may be able to overcome their current obstacles.

I tried empanadas from Dona Aida's at the Latin Food Festival in San Jose. My personal opinion is…read morethat it provides the best experience when you use them for catering and a reasonable experience when you try them at an event like a festival. I ordered both the crab and Cuban empanadas when I visited them at the San Jose Latin Food Festival. Their empanadas are made-to-order, which is great in theory as you know they are fresh but also resulted in waiting almost 30-45 minutes. The empanadas were definitely tasty but not necessarily worth the long wait. Now I should mention that the festival itself was a complete flop (if I could write a review, it would be two stars)... besides this place, there was literally one other taco truck and a Puerto Rican food stall. There were quite a few people in attendance at this festival that were literally all split in terms of waiting in line between these three places. I'll give Dona Aida's the benefit of the doubt and that they may have just been overwhelmed with the crowd hence the long wait time. However, I should note that I also caught a glimpse of this place at the Latin Food Festival in Oakland (much more successfully put together than the festival in San Jose) and they seemed to be backed up there as well. Once again, the empanadas from here were delicious and had I picked up my order immediately, I would have given a five star review, but it does seem like they are best used for pre-orders/catering rather than made-to-order at an event.

The apple and strawberry are delicious, absolutely mouthwatering, flavorful, and fresh. Everything tastes homemade and comforting. The atmosphere is nice, cozy, and very homie. The pupusas were so delicious--fresh, moist, and not dry at all. The tamale was amazing. The staff is super friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend if you're looking for authentic, homemade comfort-style Salvadoran food

I like to look for new spins on lattes to see what barista's are whipping up to make things unique. I came in thinking I was going to get a basic latte, but the Borgia Mocha caught my eye! I asked the cashier if it was a good choice and she recommended it. I was a little unsure how the two would blend and how much orange they would use in it, but it came out amazing! Honestly probably one of the top 10 unique mocha's I have tried and it was delicious! I loved the burst of refreshing orange that complimented the chocolate. The flavors danced on my tastebuds like two separate flavors that blended together as one. Each holding their own note that added value to the drink making it unique. I was instantly impressed and wish I found this on more menus! A classic mocha with a refreshing twist of orange was a pleasant surprise! I'm so glad I stopped in for a pick me up! I also loved all the art on the large walls and there looked to be plenty of tables and seating for people to eat and work at.

=== Incredible coffee and food. Great vibes ===…read more First, awesome experience. Second, I hate that I keep finding these experiences an HOUR away from where I live. Was meeting up with a friend from Berkeley and he found this spot in between the both of us. Pros and cons! + The coffee - holy shit. Got a cortado. And drank it without sugar it was so good. A touch of bitter (it's coffee - duh!) but so smooth, almost nutty but buttery at the same time. + Got a chicken salad sandwich. It came stacked HIGH with hints of sweetness and curry. Freshest produce. Honestly, I was hungry but could only eat half of it, it was so big. + Friend got a warmed cinnamon bun. Incredible. Yeasty, chewy almost crisp on the outside but pillowy soft on the inside. + Wide open space inside -- high ceilings, one big central area. Not tucked away spaces -- which might or might not match your preference. + Perfect amount of coffeehouse buzz. Music playing lowish in the background and lots of conversations. Just enough to quell my ADHD tendencies. * Honestly can't think of any negatives. Prices are a bit high but happy to pay it for such a quality experience. I think my cortado was decently priced -- maybe $6 or so? Sandwich was $18 or so but done really well and came with a bowl of soup (chips, fruit, and something else was an option instead of soup, but tomato bisque with a sandwich? Divine.) - An hour away from where I live but if you live anywhere East Bay, my curse is your blessing ;-)

Very disappointed. This used to be my favorite place to get pupusas…read more I placed a group DoorDash order for my co-workers and me right when the restaurant opened at 11:00 a.m. The order was accepted, marked as being prepared, and our DoorDash driver even arrived and waited at the restaurant. After nearly 30 minutes, we received a notification that our order had been canceled because the restaurant was reportedly closed. I'm confused as to how the restaurant could be "closed" after accepting the order, marking it as being prepared, and having a driver waiting for pickup. If they weren't able to fulfill orders, they should have declined or canceled it immediately instead of making us wait. Lost a loyal customer.

I came into this establishment today at approximately 4:20 PM and politely asked an employee if I…read morecould use the restroom or if I needed to make a purchase in order to do so. Instead of answering my question, the employee immediately began pointing toward the door and telling me to leave. She refused to communicate with me respectfully and was extremely rude and dismissive. What concerned me most was when she stated, "I know how you people are." I found this comment extremely offensive and discriminatory, and I believe I was treated differently because of my race. I attempted to address the situation, but she continued telling me to leave and stated that she did not care. No customer or individual should be spoken to or treated this way, regardless of their race or background. I have attached a photo of the employee involved so that management can identify who was working at approximately 4:20 PM today. I am requesting that management review this incident and address the employee's conduct appropriately. I would also appreciate a response regarding how this matter will be handled.
