    This is the only place that I get al pastor burritos. It's so flavorful and they give free chips with your order. The food comes out quickly!

    A fully loaded crispy taco! Can't go wrong with! Tasted good!

    The food tasted good! I enjoyed the hard shell crispy tacos! Bomb! Packed and full of flavor! Can't go wrong with their salsa! We picked up a big family order. The service was good everything was there. Wish there was a little more chips in bag needed it for the nachos.

    Make sure to pick up the menudo on the weekends! Service is fast and the food is good. We got the pastor/lengua super tacos this time but I'm sure the regular ones are just as good!

    This was the Super Burrito and three sauces.

    So dang good and worth the visit. Solid food and solid service. Came in around 7:30pm, they were busy, but I didn't have to wait long. I ordered after a family and it came out within 15min or less. Some people were dining in, some people were waiting for their order and they seemed really efficient in getting the food out. They have a just a few tables inside and some stools/counter along a wall to eat at or wait. Their menu is up on the wall and has details of everything that comes with an order. Order: Asada Fries $12.39 - yummm, French fries, cheese, meat, sour cream, pico de gallo, you just can't go wrong. San Jose Burrito $13.49 - French fries inside haha, cheese, guacamole, and sour cream. I chose Asada for the meat. It was a hefty size and very filling. Super Burrito $13.49 - just try it. You can customize it and it was also a hefty size, generous filling. I also went with Asada for this one. They also provided free sauces, but I don't remember the flavors. I just know they were spicy! And they even threw in a pile of warm tortillas on the house!! The people there were very welcoming. Their service, price point, and taste is worthy of a 5 star review. I'm happy to have this business in the neighborhood and I'm looking forward to my next visit.

    But yet you look at the yelp review photos and and there is pico on the asada fries

    My husband and I been going here for some time now. He went in and ordered super asada fries. They gave him nacho asada fries. He went back in to have them change it and gave it back to him with no pico which they stated that the asada fries doesn't come with pico which is a lie we always got pico on it. Idk what is wrong with this place their customer service is horrible! Not to mention the fries weren't even fresh the meat had hela fat! Will be the last time we come here!

    I stopped by here to grab lunch to take home. I checked out the menu to see their offerings. The menu is displayed above the register. I decided on the super burrito with carnitas. The inside is small with just a few tables for dining in. Service was good. When I got home I noticed on my receipt, I was charged more than what the price said on the menu. I couldn't figure out why. I thought that was really strange. The only thing I could think of was that I asked for refried beans instead of whole beans. The employee never mentioned there would be a charge for that. The burrito was just okay. The carnitas were extremely salty and I was not given very much. In fact the burrito was not very heavy compared to what I'm used to getting other places. I did however like their green salsa. That was really good. Not sure if I will be back again. For the price I paid and for the extra unknown charge, I expected more. The rice in the burrito was hard and not fresh. I definitely did not get my moneys worth here.

    Very delicious chicken tacos and beef. Great service, small place, better for a takeout because there aren't many seats. I gave only 3 stars because you can only buy drinks and not water cups. In addition, tables are not wiped after every guest. Too bad that cleanliness is not a priority.

I would suggest that the serve mention that when taking orders so we know. Just because it's at the very bottom of the menu I didn't notice it until I asked for a dessert menu. The food was so good! We had Mexican jambalaya, Carne asada plate, tacos Dorado, enchiladas with both sauces, parillada, enfrioladas (bean enchiladas) tacos de pescado, Don julio flight, multiple drinks and churros. The churros were really good although we wish there was a non filled ones too and to have the optionof if we wanted it dressed up because churros are already super sweet with the cinnamonand sugar dusted but caramel and whip cream was added along with a strawberry filling. We also ordered a tres leches cake but we didn't like the tres leches cake, it was too sweet, so sweet that we couldn't taste the filling which we assume was pineapple lol the color was yellow with pieces of fruit but we couldn't taste it.

Plenty of parking available since the restaurant is in a strip mall. It wasn't too busy when we got there, but then it started picking up. There was only one server working and she was really hustling to meet everyone's needs. Plus, she was friendly. I had the carne asada burrito, it was good but nothing over the top that made it stand out. My friend had enchiladas with mole. We were most excited about dessert and decided to share the churros and Tres leches. It was a nice touch that the churros and Tres leches did not come plain, a little pizzazz since they were both served with berries, whipped cream, and a cajeta style sauce. Both of the desserts were so good and a perfect touch of sweetness.

We arrived at approximately 8:26 p.m. When we checked in, I specifically requested to be seated indoors. The host, a young man, informed us that the wait would be approximately 10-15 minutes. When our table was ready, however, we were seated outside despite my clear request to sit inside. Throughout this time, there appeared to be an available table indoors. Our server, Mariana, was courteous and attentive, greeting us within two minutes of being seated. We placed our appetizer order at approximately 8:29 p.m., but did not receive it until around 9:00 p.m., resulting in a wait of roughly 30 minutes. To Mariana's credit, she communicated that there was a delay in the kitchen and kept us informed. However, our main entrées did not arrive until approximately 9:27 p.m. I remained patient and understanding throughout the evening. Having worked as both a server and bartender during my undergraduate studies, I understand that delays can happen. Nevertheless, the length of the wait was excessive, particularly given the apparent lack of managerial intervention. The manager on duty appeared to be walking the floor but did not seem to address the situation or assist in resolving service delays. Overall, while our server provided professional service under difficult circumstances, the restaurant's seating management and food service times fell well below expectations.

This made it so seamless to reserve here. Our group got there at opening and our table was ready and most of the group was already seated when we got there. Drink orders were flowing as the waitress caught up to me and I got a cafe de olla. We browsed the menu and the more I looked the harder it was to pick one thing. I ended up choosing chilaquiles with a bandera sauce and carne asada as the added protein. The rest of the table got all different types of dishes from carne en su jugo to birria to omelettes. While we enjoyed each other's company sipping on our cafecito I enjoyed the ambiance of the space. Nicely decorated for the holidays. Since it was opening time it wasn't as loud as I imagine it can get in there. The sun did shine on the faces of those facing the windows which was not enjoyable for them. There was no way to cover the sun either since it was coming in from the top windows with no shade. My food came out along with the rest of the plates and we went right in to enjoy them. My favorite chilaquiles was covered in the white sauce. The red and green were good but the white sauce was my favorite. The carne was cooked well but I could taste it wasn't marinated or lacked flavor. I didn't get a knife to cut the meat so it was very difficult to enjoy a piece with my chilaquiles. It was hard to cut with a butter knife. I thought it would be a piece of steak but it was a piece of carne asada. Eggs were scrambled and cooked well. The whole plate was filling, had flavor, and was a good portion. The cafe de olla had a good flavor but a tad sweet for my preference. The space in here is a vibe. A fun place to enjoy large gatherings. I came for breakfast but will update when I come back to visit for dinner. Bathrooms are clean. Staff was welcoming and efficient in taking care of our group. Hospitality was a 10/10. Parking in the am was a breeze but at prime time I can see it being a complete nightmare so plan accordingly. I enjoyed my visit and will come back to check out the dinner menu.
