    Nacho Fries- Plain Taco - Carnitas Taco - Grilled Chicken
    Hendrick L.

    Overall, we had a great experience here. The five stars isn't because this is Michelin star rated food or because there was some side show that delivered food to our table (spoiler alert, it's fast casual and they don't deliver food). The five star rating is because of our overall experience - quality of the food, huge number of options to meet anyone's palate (mexican food, indian dishes, pizza, breakfast foods), decent portion size, and solid service. There are lots of indoor and outdoor seating options, and they seem to have a few games that are typically on display. We stopped by in the summer, so things were very calm - our food came out quickly, there were no lines, and there was seating available everywhere. That said, they seem to have a really well integrated online ordering system. We ordered the following, both of which we thoroughly enjoyed. * Nacho Fries - I decided to order without meat (which is very odd and rare for me), and boy and I glad I did. It was an explosion of taste. The flavors blended well together, and the fries were crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. Absolutely delicious! * Taco Plate - chicken taco, carnitas taco, and double order of rice (instead of beans & rice) * As a side note, they offered two self-serve salsas which were both delicious. As someone who likes spice (but not crazy burn), they were not hot at all, but really added good flavor. I really appreciated how the taco plate was customized for my son without any issue. He is not a fan of beans, and he really wanted two different types of tacos. The man behind the counter took the order with no problems at all. I was eyeing their pizzas while waiting. Those look fantastic as well. They are NY style, my favorite. You can create your own, or order from a few of their "standard" offerings which all looked delicious. You can also order individual slices, but you'd better fold them in half and eat them NY style while walking out! If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and give them a try (or several tries to get a sense for their wide variety).

    I really enjoyed this food court and this sports bar. It's super convenient for the students and Stanford staff from all over. I ordered their jalapeño burger which was pretty big; meat patty was thick and full of juice. They also served a side of fries! This whole meal was only $6.95! Way cheaper than I expected and big in portion. Me and my co workers definitely had a good time here. I do want to come back and sip on some beer or wine while watching a football game. I'm sure it's pretty live and a fun place to be in during Stanford football games. They have a large variety of food on their menu here and the setup reminds me of Crepevine where everything is laid out on the wall (the menu). Their service is friendly and the orders come out pretty quick. I am definitely coming back!

    Geeeezz, this Vegan Margarita Love it... No words.. A Must Try ! We just found out The Treehouse making Pinsas now and we wanted to try.. this is truly amazing !

    Butter Chicken
    Xiaoying S.

    Ordered a butter chicken bowl and realized it actually only had chicken, sauce and rice. Still pretty tasty and the portion size is pretty tasty, but I wish there could be some veggies!

    Caliente es spicy! Ordered: - Spicy Burger $7.95 - Chicken Jalapeno Burger $7.50 Tina's Triggers and Thoughts - Spicy burger was super good! It has the tri-tip blend and it's seasoned beautifully with Thai chili peppers and it comes with fries! This burger comes with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, pickles, and thousand island sauce. - Campus place is poppin'! Very hip and crowded for lunch when people come to watch the games on their flat screen TV - Owner or worker was super nice when I asked for suggestions - Cheap for me and the students! Glad to have something like this located in Tressider Union

She was incredibly patient in explaining the menu and took the time to describe each dish and its unique features, which was extremely helpful for first-time visitors like us. My friend was interested in a dinner item, and Angelica went above and beyond by kindly checking with the kitchen to see if it could be prepared for us during lunch. The food was great, but Angelica's outstanding service made the experience truly memorable. Her friendliness, knowledge, and willingness to help made us feel very welcome.

On this occasion, we came here on a Friday evening, we had made reservations for 6 of us. I personally ordered the agua fresca-pineapple and the lasagna. We ordered 2 chips and salsa for the table and the others ordered, arugula salad, tacos de carnitas, mahi mahi tacos, hamachi tostadas and drinks such as the spicy tamarindo, mocktail and margarita. Everyone loved their selections. One of my friends ordered the chocolate tart and the chocolate was too rich for my liking but the mousse that accompanied it was soo good, very tart and tropical. This restaurant is on California Ave., no restaurant parking but there is street parking nearby, although not on this street since its closed off to vehicle traffic. There is also a parking lot and a parking garage nearby. Once you eat, you can take a nice stroll down the Ave. Check online for details but once a month, on Thursdays, the city helps to sponsor a Thursday Live events with music, giveaways and games. Even without the Thursday Live events...this restaurant is a must if you are in the area.

Booking a table for three was seamless, and the atmosphere was wonderful. The food was absolutely delicious--we ordered the enchiladas, the guacamole, and a quesadilla for the kids. The drinks were fantastic and perfectly strong, and our servers were incredibly attentive and friendly. It's also worth noting that they have a lot of large tables, making it a clear favorite for corporate groups from the surrounding tech offices in the evening. Whether for a family celebration or a night out, I definitely recommend this place!

I came for just a drink and a bite but ended up having two drinks and three bites as it was so good. I had Cadillac margarita -- very smooth, not too sweet, could appreciate the tequila -- and a Pacifico second. I enjoyed the shrimp empanadas -- crisp outside, lots of shrimp inside, nice salsa that accentuated it, the elite asado (get it on the cob!). Large portion, rich, just enough char. And the dates stuffed with chorizo and manchego , wrapped in bacon, and it was pleasantly balanced, not too greasy or rich. Yum. Service was great at the bar with Sergio. Very attentive, personable, and knowledgeable. Great spot. Especially if you're lucky to stay across the street at the Cardinal. Kitchen Open til 10pm too which is nice since many spots around here close at 9pm. Bar open later. Tons of tequila offerings.

Parking: as others mention, there are only 2 spaces in front on San Antonio Road, I didn't know they had a back lot. It's on the same block as Chef Chu. Luckily there wasn't much traffic so I was able to back in which made leaving easy. Ambiance: nice. It was a bit warm waiting for my takeout order, they had the front door open. They also have a nice outdoor covered patio eating area in front, see the photo. Service: when I entered there were no other customers, only a bartender who didn't acknowledge me. I was about to yell out but Mariana (the name on my receipt) appeared and took my order. Food: Chile Relleno plate w black beans, rice, a small bag of fresh tortilla chips, and two kinds of mildly spicy salsa. The Poblano pepper was stuffed w cheese and had a tasty egg batter, covered w a red salsa like sauce. It was quickly devoured! Price: $17 + $1.55 tax + tip. Chile Relleno by itself is $10 I think. I would return to try other items. I had a hankering for a good Chile Relleno and was satisfied!
