The five stars is for the stuffing inside of the corn fungus quesadilla. A mixture of crisp mushrooms, mushy onions or iceberg lettuce, granular cheese, and corn fungus folded into a gritty corn wrap, the creation was like straw mushrooms or long eggplant mixed in with grounded quiche. The slices of radish and cucumbers served alongside the wrap would have been more satisfying if they had been sliced like fries and folded into the wrap to be allowed to steam in place of the iceberg lettuce. The lettuce and the spicy broth made the outer wrap wetter like an enchilada, and I think switching over to either a more cruciferous vegetable, or a chutney or a paste-like dip would have made the tortilla less wet. But if they are supposed to be this way, then it's ok with me. read more

the food overall is pretty good. If you love tortas this is the place to go. I've never had a torta this big and they have a lot of variations. The margaritas were ok, very sweet. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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 read more

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! read more

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. read more

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 read more

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!

Food was very good, service was excellent. Top shelf margarita satisfied! We had street tacos, enchiladas and quesadillas.

Nos sentamos afuera por que hacía mucho calor, las dos mesas de afuera estaban sucias tuvimos que decirle al mesero que la limpiara, nos dejo los chips y la salsa y dijo ahorita regreso para tomar su orden, no estaban ocupados, esperamos mucho tiempo y nadie salió a tomarnos la orden, mi esposo me dijo que nos fuéramos a otro lugar, le dije que si el entró al restaurante y estaban los meseros platicando mi esposo les preguntó cuánto por la chips, no sé qué pasó adentro pero mi esposo me dijo que les dejó 5 dls y les dijo que El tenía mucha hambre para esperarlos. La comida está más o menos pero si no tenían gente por qué no nos atendieron. We sat outside because it was very hot, the two tables outside were dirty we had to tell the waiter to clean them, he left us the chips and salsa and said he'll be right back to take your order, they were not busy, we waited a long time and no one came out to take our order, my husband told me to go somewhere else, I told him yes he went into the restaurant and the waiters were talking, my husband asked them how much for the chips, I don't know what happened inside but my husband told me that he left them 5 dollars and told them that he was too hungry to wait for them. The food is more or less but if they didn't have customers why they didn't take our order. So sad read more

Saw the restaurant as we drove by, looked online at the pictures of the plates and decided to give them a try because of the picaditas Oaxaqueñas. Called ahead for takeout and ordered two of the picaditas and one of the quesadilla de Maíz. They had the food ready fairly quickly. The containers were sturdy so the food wouldn't be squished when packed which was nice. We shared the quesadilla first as an appetizer and were disappointed. It smelled great but it was too salty! Not sure if it was the cheese or the cooked veggies inside but it was too salty. For the size of the quesadilla, it was a bit on the pricier side too. The picaditas were just ok. They were small and thin and without much toppings. The meat on the side was good but also a small portion. My husbands family makes picaditas and these didn't come close. Overall It is slightly overpriced and the over salted quesadilla wasn't enjoyable. Not sure if I would give them another try. read more

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. read more

I ordered to go some tacos (al pastor y suadero) and they were really nasty. I do not recommend this place first of all my plate of tacos had no cilantro and no onion plus they were burnt the meat was burnt and hard to chew. The al pastor tacos had no pineapple just burnt onion I should have taken a picture to upload. I ended up throwing them away! read more

Where do I start? Complimentary Al Pastor street taco? Yep! Complimentary mug of horchata with order? Yep! Massive burrito packed with melted cheese, rice, beans, and meat of choice? Yep! Chips and salsa? Absolutely! The place also came with a garnish of sliced mangos and oranges with Tajin as well as sliced radishes and cucumber with their house salsas. The burrito may have been $14, but the add-ons included more than made up the price! The hospitality was amazing. They went out of their way to ensure I had a great experience and was well taken care of. Inside is hopping with table seating, a bar, and loud music. Outside they have their grill station going with shaded patio seating. It's unfortunate I was visiting the area from out of town for business. If I'm ever back in the area, this will be an absolute destination spot! read more

The food was hot, fresh, and made with care. Their handmade tortillas are incredible. The Molcajete Mixto was streaming hot and full of yummy goodness.
