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

    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.

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

    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

    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.

    Michelada

    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

    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! (:

    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

    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

    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

    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.

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.

The service is not the best and you have to try hard to catch the servers attention. The food was better this time, but not as good as many other Mexican restaurants. It is not what I consider authentic Mexican food.

Unfortunately inflation and the economy has changed the prices and food sizes, but at least it still tastes good. Some of my favorites here over the years have been the salmon tacos, Esquites, Enchiladas De Camarone and suizas, and the bacon guac. I used to not bat an eye and order whatever I wanted, but now I do have to think a little bit more so that the bill doesn't get too high.

They have seating out front inside and in the back, but the place was pretty full. Nonetheless, we were seated quickly as we had a reservation. It is a good idea to call ahead and make one. The prices are high, but hopefully all their people are making a good living and the portions are enough for our appetites at least. I had the shrimp enchiladas, and my wife had the vegetarian tacos with a side order of scrambled eggs. There was nearly a mixup as the waiter thought we wanted to order an egg taco and that's considerably more expensive but we got it straightened out with the maitre D. We also shared a Paloma cocktail with which has a pretty color and delightful taste.

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.

As I entered the restaurant there was the aroma of fresh tortillas being made. Upon sitting down I was presented with fresh homemade corn tortilla chips along with two salsas (mild and medium) Tortilla chips were thick with just the right amount of crunch. Tasting the green (mild?) salsa was my favorite. It had a great tomatillo flavor with a creamy spiciness. It was a good reprieve from my main dish. A Paloma was my drink of choice this time. I'll preface this by saying I'm not a fan of tequila but when presented with the cold clay mug rimmed with salt and topped with orange and grapefruit, I was impressed. It was delicious, so refreshing, fragrant, and cold! A nice counterbalance to my meal. Chilaquiles was a dish I wanted to try. They had delicious chips again cooked in salsa verde. Covered with eggs (any style) fresh crema, avocado, and onions the chilaquiles exceeded my expectations. So simple yet so flavorful. Mixing up quantities of ingredients in each bite made for a delicious experience. My favorite element being the sharpness of the onions which cut the richness of the dish. I'm generally not a fan of refried beans but these ones had such a unique and satisfying flavor which complimented the dish well. My server, Luis was very helpful and quick to check in and make sure I was doing okay! I cannot wait to try out their fish tacos and various drinks from the menus next time!
