We ordered two coconut raspados, and they were refreshing and perfect for a warm day. The service was friendly and welcoming from the moment we arrived. We sat down to enjoy our raspados, and it was nice to see a steady flow of customers stopping by and others relaxing while enjoying their orders. Even though the shop doesn't have air conditioning, they have a large fan that keeps the space comfortable, so it never felt too hot. Overall, we had a great first experience and will definitely be coming back to try more items from the menu!

A few updates stood out right away. There's a new menu item: fried banana. I didn't try it, but it's there if you want to. The stand itself has also moved into the Paloma Plaza parking lot, giving it a more permanent and "official" setup compared to its old sidewalk spot. The churros didn't quite hit the same as before. On my previous visits, they were made fresh to order, but this time they seemed pre-made. They were still crispy and nicely coated in sugar, but they lacked that warmth and (dare I say it) oiliness that really made them special. Another downside was the filling. The churros we ordered were only partially filled, maybe around a third of the length. This left the rest of the churros empty. We bought two churros, and then another two to confirm this. If you're paying extra for a filled churro, you should expect a more consistent amount throughout. We expected, and that was our mistake, apparently. Because of the drop in both quality (freshness) and quantity (filling), I've had to lower my rating. Ever since, I've started going elsewhere for fresh churros.

Spent $3 per churro and it was a little less than half of it had no filling. The vanilla tasted artificial. The cajeta had a burnt taste to it. This was definitely more oily than others I've tried.

I stopped by for brunch and had a chia bowls and three drinks, and everything was thoughtfully made and packed with flavor. The chia bowl was the standout for me. The texture was perfect--not runny and not overly thick. It was naturally sweet and topped with ripe strawberries, banana, coconut shavings, honey, and a light crunchy granola topping. The cinnamon paired beautifully with the golden honey, creating a flavor combination that had me literally scraping the bowl for every last bite. The strawberries were perfectly ripe, and the bowl kept me full well past lunchtime. I also appreciated that it's made with all those toppings with no extra charge. The Jamaica lemonade was refreshing and well-balanced. It wasn't bitter or mouth-puckeringly sour like some hibiscus drinks can be. Instead, it had a pleasant tanginess blended with sweet citrus lemonade that made it incredibly easy to drink. For coffee, I tried the 16 oz Macadamia Nut Latte with 2% milk and the 16 oz Chocolate Hazelnut Latte with whipped cream. The macadamia latte was creamy, perfectly nutty, and still very coffee-forward. The macadamia flavor enhanced the espresso instead of overpowering it. The chocolate hazelnut latte was sweet and indulgent, but you could still clearly taste the coffee. It struck the perfect balance between chocolate, hazelnut, and espresso. What impressed me most was that neither latte tasted artificially flavored or overly sugary. The syrups complemented the espresso rather than covering it up. If you're someone who loves flavored coffee but still wants the coffee itself to shine through, La Tacita Café absolutely delivers. For about $40, we got three medium drinks and two chia bowls, which felt like a great value considering the quality, portion sizes, and freshness of everything we ordered. Regarding parking and the food lot it's in, you can go inside and park in the lot. After you drive to the adress there's these banners of the food trucks which you can drive in that driveway to park in the back. Be sure to walk in the middle aisle to find La Tacita. The owner is so kind and the whole team is so friendly. This is a stable for perfect Saturday's!

I sat on the patio and saw a steady stream of people of all walks of life entering, so I knew I had found a neighborhood gem. After trying a sample of the "café de olla" (mild and mildly sweet-ask and they'll give you a sample), I ordered the mocha latte ($7) that comes with Oaxacan chocolate, the milk of your choice and espresso. The chocolate had a rich and distinct flavor, way better than any commercial Mexican chocolate milk. Served in a paper cup for here. The staff was friendly and took the time to tell me about the signature Oaxacan pastries. While they have all the Mexican pan dulce classics and even some Colombian varieties, I tried the "hojaldra," a light, airy bun (with just a touch of sugar and sesame on top 1.75). Very good accompanied with a drink. Also, the "barquillo de lechesilla" ($2.50) was surprisingly good, given I rarely like most custard fillings. Bread had a good texture and flake, and the filling was firm not gooey. The shop is in a converted Craftsman home, well kempt and decorated with a beautiful raised deck patio. There is a screen kiosk but I found it easier to order in person. It's a bustling spot but they seem to take their time to serve with courtesy and a smile. There is only one table in the covered area, so I'd only do coffee dates here on non-rainy days. A piano sits by the entrance inviting folks to play. A tree juts out from the center and makes lovely shade for the patio. The passing traffic horrible, though the construction noise was loud when I was there, as a large apartment building is in the works across the street. There is a parking lot, which is very convenient for those that just want to pick up food to go. Don't be put off by the crematorium directly across the street. Think of it as something distinctly Mexican, mixing death with life, and maybe even inviting the deceased to enjoy some of your delicious treats from Dulcinea.

The restaurant and bakery were bustling with customers, which was my first clue that I was in for something special. They're known for their breakfast burritos, authentic pastries, and pan dulce, and the chorizo-and-egg burrito absolutely lived up to the hype. In fact, it gets my vote for the best breakfast burrito in San Jose. Every bite was perfectly balanced, with flavorful chorizo, fluffy eggs, creamy refried beans, and melted cheese. Nothing overpowered anything else. The proportions were spot-on, and the flavors came together beautifully. The sauces took it to another level. The orange sauce was creamy and garlicky with just the right hint of heat. The green sauce was the standout for me: bright, tangy, and packed with fresh chile flavor. I could have put it on everything. The service was just as impressive as the food. Everyone was welcoming, smiling, and genuinely happy to help. A special shout-out to Richard for sharing his favorites. His recommendations were so good that I left with several extra treats to enjoy later. If you're looking for an unassuming neighborhood spot where the food is undeniably the star, this is it. I'm already looking forward to my next visit. They are officially in my rotation!

My friend told me about this store that carries the same kind you would find from the push cart ice cream man. My kids have been into the character ice cream and I've been having trouble finding them in stores. It's a small store with a bunch of freezer chest. There were about 6-8 freezers with a variety of ice cream and traditional paletas in each. They are slightly cheaper than what I pay with the ice cream man (~$0.25-$0.75 cheaper). Ice cream cost about $1.50 - $2.75 each. Cash only and limited street parking. Hours are 1pm to 7pm.
