    Al Pastor Burrito
    Andrew H.

    Picked up a Carnitas super burrito, to go. I remember it being a lot better when I visited previously. I was surprised that it wasn't packed with as much flavor. It is a giant burrito that will fill you up.

    Vegetarian enchiladas verdes with cheese and crema (I ate the mango before taking the picture)

    This place is a hidden gem. If you don't mind pulling out the Google translate to order in Spanish, you're in for a treat. When we walked in, the music was loud but they were happy to turn it down a bit for us. Right away we felt well-taken care of. The server came right away to take our drink order. We ordered a Diet Coke (coca lite) and tap water (agua natural) with ice (con helado). They also brought out a complimentary taco on the house (with meat - spicy) and chips and salsa (also spicy). I'm a vegetarian (vegetariana) so they made me green sauce enchiladas with cheese. I also ordered what looks like a large taco, which they made me with cactus, avocado, crema, bell peppers and onions, grilled. It came on a corn tortilla with pinto beans under the veggies. My friend ordered 3 tacos: asada, carnitas, and the chicken. Everything was really good! My favorite part is that the dishes came garnished with limes, orange slices, and sweet mango slices. The fruit was a nice touch, especially the mangos! My enchilada also came with rice and beans, and a salad. All of the plates were full, and when I mentioned I was vegetarian, the staff came over to confirm how I wanted my food, and whether certain ingredients were ok (in Spanish, but there was one gentleman who spoke a little English). At the end, we had Horchatas to go, and my horchata was honestly the best I've had in the US. Although the business takes credit card, they prefer tips to be in cash. If you don't like spicy food, this place may not be for you. But if you like good Mexican food, at a place with a fun and welcoming vibe that feels like you're in Mexico, then I recommend checking out this place. Also - we were curious what the name of the restaurant meant. It is something along the lines of a metro train route - the restaurant's theme is the Mexico City Metro.

    Complimentary Caldo

    Can in here because of an Ad I saw on Facebook, and let me tell you, they did not disappoint! I went with a friend and we both ordered Molcajetes, I got the seafood one and she got the Mixto. I love love their salsa and frijoles they put at the bottom of the molcajetes, then followed by your choice of protein, and piled by slices of queso asado and grilled nopales hanging on the sides. They give you about 4 handmade delicious tortillas! I almost forgot to mention, we got complimentary chips and salsa as soon as we got sat down, and then once we ordered the first item out after our drinks was complimentary caldo . So freaking delicious. For drinks I got an horchata and my friend got a Super Michelada. I had one of the shrimps on the rim of the Michelada and wow it was so full of flavor and surprisingly not overcooked. I admire the inside of the restaurant and the music, they even asked us if there was any music we would like to listen to. I felt super welcomed and treated like if I was at a friend's house having a meal. Update: I came back with 2 more friends( 4 total of us) and we were once again treated like royalty and food was still amazing. Very veggie/vegan friendly!

    Came for a lunch meeting and was greeted by amicable staff. Plenty of items to choose from the menu and glad to see a dedicated torta menu as this is my jam. Ordered the Torta Oaxaceña - full of meat and cheese, on a big slice of bread. Very filling. Good ambiance, tv and laser lights. Music a little loud but for the small space it is reasonable. Fairly priced for the food downtown. Parking available in the plaza behind. Al fresco dining in the back. Great business owner under fairly new ownership.

    enchiladas were absolutely not edible. Two bytes and couldn't eat it. The same with my girlfriend's plate
    Kevin C.

    My girlfriend and I came in for a date night out trying a new restaurant The atmosphere is okay. Should have known the place was a little dead there wasn't any latins eating in there. First clue probably that the place wasn't all that good but the enchiladas I ordered were straight out of the can maybe some sauce poured on them reheated. Straight two bites straight garbage. My girlfriend ordered a plate of shrimp was very specific about what she wanted The shrimp she received was nothing more than the fox shrimp you would have received out of the freezer section at Safeway that had been reheated in fact they were overcooked. We ended up paying $56 for uneditable food and their food ended up leaving us with sour stomachs and bathroom and Pepto-Bismol. They're food is trash avoid this place at all time costs. There are plenty of better Latin food restaurants in the area

    Tacos (lengua, cabeza, Al pastor, y carne asada)
    Krystal A.

    Stumbled upon this restaurant near SJSU and wanted to give it a try. Amazing customer service. Seated us and provided chips and salsa. The waitress did not speak English but was able to have another worker translate. They provided complimentary agua frescas, Al pastor taco, and a baked potato. We ordered two tacos each and were so full at the end of our meal. Would definitely come back because of the great service. Would want to try their other foods as well as alcoholic beverages! (:

    Michelada
    Mittali S.

    I recently went to the restaurant with a big group on Saturday night. Everyone was little skeptical about the place. I convinced everyone to trust me. As it turns out, everyone at the end was impressed with the food and service. They served vegetable soup and salsa with chips once seated. Let me tell you the spice and flavor on that salsa was on another level. Soup was amazing. We all ordered some drinks and entrees. I had Michelada, and el polo enchiladas. The green sauce on enchiladas was awesome. Definitely will be coming back for authentic Mexican food

    Lisa V.

    Hidden Gem Complimentary chips and salsa oh and caldo(maybe bc it was raining) ordered the mixto molcajete. Super delicious and lots of meat! Had alot of chicken, asada and shrimp. Had a supreme michelada with lots of shrimps on the brim. Never had it with corona but it was light and refreshing. Id say cheapest and tastiest molcajetes in the south bay!

    Tacos y michelada
    Berton V.

    The food was pretty good, the Al pastor is what you should stick with. I ordered asada pastor pollo lengua and carnitas. Hands down pastor took the crown. Overall - coming back, decent spot

    Platillo Oaxacaqueño
    Ann F.

    The service was amazing. The atmosphere great, but the food was absolutely incredible! Surprise the corner restaurant was too busy but I'm so happy we stopped in!

    Oaxanapequenas
    Maria H.

    Great presentation. Couldn't take a picture of the Michelada because we are the shrimp too quickly; highly recommend it. Tacos were well cooked. Huarache, according to my Mexico City born husband were the best he has ever eaten. El menudo was flavored well but hot! Really great for the price.

    Tacos al pastor. They taste just like they do in Mexico.

When walking, we missed the restaurant initially because this place is clearly, a hidden gem, especially being hidden along the nightclub strip. We were blown away by the curated vibes. From the thoughtful decor to The Office being projected on the wall. It felt hip, fresh and refined. We decided to craft our own drinks - Arnold Palmers, his favorite. But they only had sparkling lemonade, which actually made it even better. We shared a salad that had some cooked pears and squash alongside the greens, walnuts, cranberries and blue cheese. I do feel like the cooked sweet elements overpowered the salad with their sweetness and textures a bit. Wondering if a refreshing pear for crunch or more dressing could have brightened it up and provided a salty, sweet balance. I ordered the Short Ribs with a parsnip purée and roasted carrots and it did not disappoint. Everything paired beautifully together, perfectly salted and cooked. I finished the entire plate. Dad got the Pork Chop and while it was overcooked, he loved the flavors happening in the dish and was pleasantly surprised by the refreshing treatment of the kale. The staff was attentive and very friendly. Overall a great experience. We would definitely come back!

At some point when receiving a ticket he dramatically threw it on the counter to help everyone at the bar side know how frustrated or overwhelmed he was. Seeing this as a customer discourages me to make requests, as it almost feels like our presence is an inconvenience to our bartender/server. The customer service experience here was terrible and my biggest recommendation to this establishment is to hire people who are willing to provide a comfortable experience to customers, as opposed to individuals who will throw man-fits for working at 11 AM.
