First time here, and it did not disappoint. It was sooo good I forgot to take pics lol. Walking in the first thing you notice is how clean it looks and they space everyone out which made me feel comfortable to eat inside (due to covid restrictions). The food was amazing, I got the enchiladas americanas and the verde sauce was THE BEST I've ever had. They also have a huge bar with plenty of drink options, I cant wait to go back and try a few. 4 stars because we did wait 15 minutes for someone to offer us drink, but the staff was nice and food came out pretty fast. I will definitely be coming back!!! read more

Hoy decidimos dale otra oportunidad a este restaurante ya habia tenido una mala esperiencia con una orden para llevar y no habia regresado bueno hoy regrese y la verdad muy pero muy desagusto con todo en especial el servicio mi mesera no se que traia este dia si estaba enojada o simplemente esta en el trabajo equibocado,la comida diosmio horrible ah el mole wow una porqueria en verdad no hasta la salsa de los chips sin sabor alguno la verdad que desilucionado estoy de este restaurante jamas regresaria yo no despues de el dia de hoy alguien tiene que tomar iniciativa en este lugar y hacer algo el edificio esta desente el bar se ve bien pero lo mas importante en un restaurante es la comida y el servicio y aqui les falta ambas cosas. Oh una ultima cosa que si note la muchacha de pelo corto en la barra ella si se escuchaba muy amable y atenta lastima que no fue ella quien me atendiera . read more

So disappointed 2nd time here food had no flavor service was so slow and it wasn't even busy at most 6 people. Music playing was for the club not for a mexican restaurant unless they playing reggaton at mexican restaurants while you eating song keeps saying culo!! Not coming here anymore made a special trip from San Francisco to cone eat here since first time it was really good and I like to support family owned restaurants. read more

Super bad service. Went to have a couple drinks with the family and almost every item on the menu was unavailable. The drinks were watered down... yelp review will continue after food is out.. read more

The worst spot ever!! Bad service and the food sucked!! I'm all about Mexican food and I was so happy to try los cuates just because miss foodie Bay Area put them on her Instagram, but she sure failed me this time. Will never go back. I mean who wants a molcajete cold , it's supposed to be bubbling. Ni modos hope que se pongan las pilas. read more

It was good but they dont know how to make mac n cheese. The nastiest spicey mac I've ever had. We all got full fast and wonder if MSG is used read more

Los Cuates Restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Gilroy, California

I work right down the street from this restaurant. So far I have had the breakfast burrito, super burrito, sopes, and pupasas. They have all been good and very filling. The breakfast burrito was large and filled with eggs, rice, beans, salsa, chorizo, ham and potatoes. The temperature was perfect and the tortilla was lightly grilled and just a tiny bit crispy. The super burrito had quite a bit of meat. I choose the barbacoa which was a little bit spicy but very tender and not fatty. The sopes and pupasas are also a great choice. You can call ahead an pick up and sit outside at one of their tables. They are also in the process of building a patio. read more

This place has hands down the best carne asada tacos I've ever had! Amazing!!! Don't know what they do for the flavor of the meat but it's nothing short of amazing. The meat kind of taste like it's marinated in tequila or white wine and almost has a jerky kind of taste. If you come her just get the regular carne asada tacos. I couldn't believe that something so simple would taste so glorious. This place is underrated and should be tried! A hidden gem! Will be back 100% read more

Service was horrible waiting for water refill never came ordered a margarita horrible piña colada just as bad

Pupusas! I've been looking for these in gilroy and finally found them and they are delicious. I placed a delivery order right off of Yelp. Convenient! read more

Awesome food, Marlette has excellent customer service. I always enjoy a good meal here for lunch or dinner.

Great service! I was immediately greated by marlette who was extremely nice and polite. Food is amazing and has a great vibe. Will definitely return! read more

Good service, good food, friendly environment and very clean. I definitely recommend :)

I absolutely love this restaurant. I have always loved their food, it never disappoints! I hosted a few birthday parties here for my kids. the service was great both times. They made it so fun and easy. They even provided music for us! The food and service has been exceptional.. I would recommend this place each and every-time! read more

My family and I decided to spend my dads birthday here and wow the food was delicious. Clarissa was our waitress and she's just awesome. She remembered everything and checked on us often, and brought out a slice of cake for my dad. We will be coming back very soon! read more

It saddens me that this place is what it is now. Was a 5 star during covid and even till late last year but recently dont know what happened service is terrible and the food is not what it used to be i hope this restaurant can be back to what it used to be was the best in the area by far but now i don't even go i take my business elsewhere i hope it gets fixed for the good of the business read more

First time being here with my husband and kids and the food was really good, kid friendly ,a nice environment and the workers are so sweet and kind. Deff will be going back!!! read more

The service is terrible! Our drinks were in small cups. Which was fine but they never came for a refill. They never checked in on us. They never brought our check it was like they forget about us. Then when we paid they added themselves a 15% tip without telling us. The food was greasy and not made to our request. We would never go again. read more

Very skeptical about this place after reading the reviews. Went to check it out any way and found they have menudo not bad, cevich, aqua de chili and Birria dr res, fresh made paposas that seem to be the start of this place. Overall they have a lot of good Mexican dishes. You just have to put them together yourself because this is a buffet not a restaurant. I mean where else can you get all you can eat guacamole for $20 a person lol read more

Okay I came with expectations, I'm guessing that's where I went wrong. My Brother told me that this place has a restaurant in Hollister and said it was really good. So that's not case for this place. I can't began to explain how bad the food is here. This NOT MEXICAN food, I mean I see my people here but man the food here not good what so ever. I saw a lady pulling a hair out of some pasta. The rice was watery and tasteless. Soda machine was flat and their Ice machine was not working. The Papuas were good tho I'll give them that. I would not recommend this place at least not right now. I'm not lying to you my fellow Yelpers don't waste your time or money. It's kind of pricey $21 for dinner.... read more

Went there expecting some good food. The price wasn't advertised and so the $20 per person was shocking! Since they ran my card without telling me the price, I was pretty much locked in. The food was gross. We had cold soup, dry enchiladas with the sauce was caked on, the pasta was undercooked and cold, all the food seemed to have been from the day before like reheated (barely), definitely not fresh, zero dessert choices, chocolate and vanilla ice cream was really chocolate and chocolate and I'm not sure it was actually ice cream at all. And the presentation was also disappointing. WAY WAY OVERPRICED! Save your money. One star is one star too many. read more

Wow! This is some damn good food! You want to get your grub on and your jonsing for Mexican food? This is the place to do it. The food tasted very authentic, there were many dishes to choose from, you will not be disappointed. read more

In a word: tamales! Yes, they served tamales at lunch and they're good. They also had enchiladas, menudo with all the fixings, quesadillas, taco bar, salad bar, fried chicken with sides, barbecued chicken & ribs, lots of vegetable choices and pizza and nuggets for kids, soft serve machine, many beverages and good coffee! I didn't see the pupusas like the other reviewers said maybe they alternate that with tamales? Anyway how can these complaining arse whiners go on here and write 1-3 star reviews? They must think they're going to some New York eatery with some 3 Michelin star chef for 14.99? Who knows? But they must be ungrateful, unrealistic, most likely bleeding heart liberal-pampered-spoiled arse no good basement dwellers at mom&pops! So Frustrated and disappointed in themselves that bad~yelping a good buffet as bad makes them feel better about their useless lives...just saying....Okay not everything is superb (like the Spanish rice) but it's a buffet, you can try this and that and move on. Cost 14.99 for lunch. I Needed to find soft food today while waiting for my bridge to be made, I found it here and was okay with casual atmosphere eating with no upper teeth! Check it out if you like a good buffet! Staff is super friendly and attentive. They have clean restrooms, that's important! This place is 5 star people for a buffet and it's cheap, you serve yourselves so you get what you want~ if it doesn't look good~don't pick it up! If you like buffet style eating you have to try Los Cuates. P.S. their Hollister place is even better! read more

This is a new restaurant in town. So our family thought it would be a good idea to try it out. It is organized, and looked clean. Now, let's get to the real stuff. The food, was somewhat average. I mean, not much more than what I expected from a Buffet. You honestly don't go to the buffet expecting amazing food. So this restaurant didn't disappoint on that. But, the reason for the 3 stars, is because they can definitely do better to be a Buffet. So hopefully they see our feedback. The Chicken Mole needs more flavor, the white rice was a bit overcooked, the popusas were a bit difficult to eat, the mac&cheese needed a bit more cheese flavor in it, but I will say the barbacoa was pretty good! As well as the shrimp. read more

I'm not sure why there is so many bad reviews! I was hesitant to give it a try due to the bad reviews. My parents are regulars there so we decided to give it a try and I wasn't disappointed. The bathrooms are clean! They have variety of food and the place is clean. They have ladies making hand made tortillas and Popusas. We went on a busy Sunday and they kept bringing out food trays! Try it out for yourself don't let the reviews fool you! They have champurrado, tamales, arroz con leche, ice cream, birria, shrimp, fries, tacos dorados sooo much more! read more

Food was delicious a wide variety of mexican dishes. I would recommend getting chips as there were salsas and guacamole but no chips which is a bummer. They also had no dessert table which is another bummer so for the price they need desserts and chips for sure. Other than that the food was really good. read more

This is the first Mexican Food buffet I have ever been to and the food, service and clientele is amazing. Trust me, you won't regret it!

We couldn't wait for this place to open. Everything was hand made and nothing tasted like it came from a can. Not your typical buffet. They also had things like pasta, mashed potatoes, and french fries. The soft serve ice cream was a little watery, but other than that, it was all great! The price was a little high, but no other complaints. Definitely will be coming back. read more

Some of the worst Mexican food I have ever eaten. Over priced for what you get. My family was disappointed. We will not be going again. Too bad it was not turned into a Golden Corral. We liked it when it was Hometown Buffet and went often but this place, ugh! read more

Sorry but this Buffet the food was Stone Cold they can't regulate the temperature on the de warming tables HomeTown Buffet had the same problem every time I ate at HomeTown Buffet I got sick and this is the same thing they do not regulate the food temperature to keep the food warm you need to serve the food with a certain temperature and they're not doing it food was Stone Cold what I ate there today I do not recommend this place the place was extremely dirty on some of the pictures that showed here exactly what I seen someone else showed some pictures on here which the place is really really dirty and disgusting the bathroom wasn't even any better sorry but I will not be coming back heads up if you don't want to get sick read more

The food was amazing!! The flautas were so good, the ceviche was bomb. This place is worth coming to and the price is decent.

Just be prepared for the wait. We waited for 45 mins for our food (dine in). They are sooooooooo slowewewwww

Excellent customer service (Roxan)is awesome and the food is delicious I really recommend this restaurant I come all the way from Fresno and every time my family and I try different food read more

The food was fine but nothing to rave about. Our server was very nice. I got a chimichanga and their was a lot of meat. I don't usually complain about that, but the meat was all in the middle and could have been more evenly distributed within the chimichanga. I also could've used more hot sauce as well. Two little cups of sauce was not enough. read more

Had an Asada Quesadilla, Was so greasy my plate looked like i had a greasy pepperoni pizza:( Husband had carnetas that was good , thank god. read more

Great friendly service and amazing food! Everything was delicious! Didn't get to try the popusa station this time but definitely coming back for that! read more

Some friends and I went on a Sunday noon. I love Mexican food, but I couldn't find anything I liked. Food items were not labeled, so we didn't know what we were getting. Nothing tasted like quality meat or ingredients. If you want to pay $18 for salad, jello and masa, this place might be for you. There were 8 of us. We waited in line 20 minutes, then on a bench waiting for 15 minutes to be seated together. In the end, we just had to sit at two tables for 4, not together. I will never return. I didn't want to give stars, but I guess I have to. read more

Wow..‼ Great food awesome service from Maria ...she explain everything to us. Big and roomy place. Everyone here are wonderful. Fresh food and very hot. read more
