Came here to celebrate a birthday with the family on Saturday night. The decor, art and music give the restaurant a good vibe and they also have fire dancers that go around the restaurant floor giving a show. You almost feel like you are at a night club. Parking is easy since it's at a big shopping center. They give you beans and salsa with some tostadas on the house when you get seated. We ordered a few appetizers: - Ahi tuna, guacamole tostada (2/5) this tasted very fishy, I normally like ahi tuna a lot but I didn't like this tostada that much. - mixed ceviche (4/5) this was really good, would recommend getting this. - queso fundido 3/5, this was ok, we ran out of tortillas and asked for more. They forgot about them and had to remind the server about them.. once they came the queso and chorizo were already cold. Mains (shared) - rainbow roll (1/5) didn't have much flavor, but should've known not to order sushi at a Mexican restaurant. - Birria tacos (5/5) these were really good! They give a side of consommé with them, we had actually had them at the location in downtown SJ and really liked them there and which was why we ordered them here. - fish tacos (2/5) the tacos were ok, they add a lot of things so by the time we got them the breading on the fish was soggy. - Spanish octopus (3/5) this was very chewy like they over cooked it... also $52 (they sell it at market price) but its a big portion. - trompo de al pastor (5/5) this was my favorite.. $80 and they bring you a mini trompo of al pastor meat to your table with tortillas, quesadillas, grilled pineapple and guacamole. Wish we would've asked how many tacos/persons it fed because it was a big portion and we had left overs. We could've skipped on some of the other dishes and gotten just this. Dessert - Bailey's bread pudding (5/5) - Dulce de Leche flan (4/5) Both desserts were really good but couldn't eat much since I was already really full from all the things we ordered. I recommend this spot for cocktails and maybe al pastor/birria tacos, everything else was ok. read more

My husband and I came here yesterday for our wedding anniversary. I made reservations for 6pm, we arrived 15 min early. We waited about 3 min for our table to be ready. We were brought over menus, while we were browsing the menu a nice gentleman brought us over complimentary beans,salsa, and chip plate. The beans with cheese were super delicious, taste freshly made with a kick of spice. The salsa was tasty, the perfect level of hot. We ordered the queso fundido, it was brought over with freshly made tortillas. The cheese taste good, but I wish it wasn't so thick. The tortillas were perfect. I ordered the birria tacos with no onion and no cilantro, made extra crispy. The birria was so tasty, the meat was nice and tender. My husband ordered the tomahawk medium. The show they had when they brought over the steak was awesome, the steak was cooked a little more well than what he liked, but the show made up for it. He also order fries and rigatoni with cheese, the rigatoni was delicious. He had La Niña drink, well he liked it so much he actually had 3 of them lol. My favorite item was the dulce de leche flan, it was nice and creamy. It wasn't overly sweet. The vibe in there was pretty nice, it felt like a party at times, specially with all the birthday celebrations they had. The one thing I would really encourage would be training servers how to multitask. Our server was no where to be found a lot of the time, I mean we saw her a total of three times. When we were done my husband had to go find the manager to ask for our check, and to order something to go. I know it's a new place that's why I'm not being too hard on service, the place is well put together, food is delicious, and prices are not as bad as I read they were. We will for sure be back and hope to have better service read more

I want to start this review by acknowledging how accommodating the staff is at this tostadas location, they place was full and they managed to get a table in less than 5 mins which was very much appreciated. The food was also spectacular, I ordered tomahawk steak with mashed potatoes and broccolini. I have to say that the price is reasonable for what your getting... the food, the ambiance and the service. I also tried a few of their cocktails which didn't disappoint. Can't wait to be back! read more

Food was cold , no flavor. I order a trompo al pastor and everything was cold and dry. No salsa . I asked for salsa and I took forever to bring me a chile de árbol in oil for al pastor tacos . Really ???! Never again. read more

My first time here, I already love this place. The vibes are incredible and the decorations are sooooo beautiful. The servers was astounding and cordial. All the foods that me and my girlfriends ordered were delicious and very tasteful. Everything was well cooked and all the flavors were well balanced. The drinks were strong and sweet, that's how I like my drinks heheh. During dinner, we enjoy a fire show which surprised us, so the best time to see the fire show is between 7:30 pm to 8:30 pm. If your planning to check out the restaurant, please make sure your make reservations because it gets super crowded. I'm ready to come back next month to celebrate my anniversary. read more

If you add "Prime" to your business name you can charge prime dollar. Went there with friends, but they wouldn't seat us till all members were there. I don't disagree with it except there was 1 table n 1 barstool occupied. Literally, the place was empty which made it pointless. The food had a nice presentation but the meats were over salted by a lot. Good drinks and music, but won't return due to overpricing. read more

Food: 1/5 Service: 2/5 Ambience: 5/5 Drinks: 5/5 This place is a whole ass vibe if you're just trying to get lit & don't give a damn about anything else. Lol. We made reservations for 7:30, but didn't get seated until closer to 8:30 because they had over booked for the night. It didn't help that the hostesses were a little rude each time we asked for updates. Minus 1 star. Management came out with complimentary champagne for everyone who had to wait.. +10pts cause who doesn't like free? Majority of the food we ordered was not good (for the price). The best thing we had all night was the complimentary chip & dip (dip/salsa was sooo good I asked the chef if I could get a container to go. He hooked it up! This is the reason it got another star) Bone marrow was 2nd best. Tostadas sure knows how to party! I'd come here just for the vibe and drinks + chip & dip. Probably would never actually come here again for a sit down dinner. read more

We were there Friday night, there was 13 of us. More than one of us complained to our selfs that the food was over cooked. I had salmon, others: pork chops, steak & tomahawk , tacos all over cooked. Our party was big and we didn't want to wait for corrected meals. Also I had 3 drinks and I think they forgot to put booze in them. Our bill was over $2,000.00. The service was good!! read more

Came here for a friend's birthday, we had a party of 13 people.

First, the service that comes with the sign, cake, shots was not timely. We waited almost 20 minutes to receive it. Further they are unorganized and are ignorant to minors and drunk adults. And interaction in which a GROWN ADULT DRUNK WOMAN began arguing with a MINOR GIRL over a cake!! And servers began blaming the minor and their family. They threatened with arrest, and no accountability or acknowledgement that it was started from the woman. They refused to do anything to make the situation better. Horrible service and and zero action given to woman. Threatening SOBER customers and being ignorant when minors -17 are present is UNACCEPTABLE. They could care less about actions of drunk individuals over safety of minors attending. read more

The food is hit or miss - overall it is good but the price implies it's to die for. Service was slow to start and then the waiter was actually very engaging and helpful. Cocktails are super sweet - not my thing so the waiter recommended something off menu that was similar to a skinny margarita that I enjoyed very much. Definitely a fun vibe, feels like a club so good for late meal or drinks. Kinda dark for early dinner or eating there with the kiddos. Not sure I'll be back. read more

I've been all over the world. I can say with confidence that I ate the best food i've ever eaten here. Idk what kind of wizardry is going on back there in the kitchen but it is so delicious read more

Doesn't look like much from the outside, but the inside has a very nice atmosphere to it. The decorations on the wall and lighting are very nice. The food was alright for the price, I got the wagyu wellinton burger for $37, nice experience but not $37 nice. If anything my table was just very upset with the lack of attention from the server, at one point someone tried to flag him down, but on his way over he got distracted with another table. The drinks they have at the bar are pretty cute though, the cups are adorable. read more

I came here for my birthday with my girlfriend, and it was my first time visiting. The service overall was great, but a couple of things really bothered me. First, they weren't able to make a simple spicy margarita -- the manager had to step in and make it himself. Second, the sushi rolls were honestly terrible. They tasted old and dry, and both of us immediately made faces like, "oh hell no." If the sushi isn't fresh, it really shouldn't be on the menu. read more

Tostadas Prime is definitely a place to eat at if you want the atmosphere, vibes, good food, and drinks! I would rate this restaurant 4.5/5! Everything was picture worthy, with the design of the restaurant, the painted murals on the walls, the drinks and food. It's definitely a great option to celebrate a birthday/special celebration while also getting that club vibe in a restaurant if that makes sense. Lol. Around the area, the restaurant is located in a shopping center, so there is plenty of parking. I made reservations through OpenTable for a Sunday night and we were seated right away. I definitely recommend making reservations in advance if you were thinking on coming on a Friday/Saturday night. I did enjoy the music they were playing, however I wish they stuck to the latin theme and played popular latin/reggaeton hits instead of normal club mixes. I feel like that would have really made the whole experience feel complete. Besides that, when it came to the food and drinks, everything we ordered was delicious. The portions are good for their price and totally shareable! Our waiter was really good as well! Being that it was our first time, he was able to help us with his recommendations. We really appreciated that! The guava daba doo drink was my favorite! The steak bites were super buttery, and melted in your mouth! The calamari and fries came out hot and were nice and crunchy. I normally wouldn't order seafood enchiladas, but it was actually delicious! I did not get to try the birria tacos, filet, or mini street tacos being that I was so full with everything else, but I know they all had great flavor and everyone were satisfied with everything. Overall, great experience, would definitely come back! read more

Man o man had a great time for my bday in June. From the ladies eating to fire to the great service. To the bull after bull and skull after skull. We had a great time. That's how they bring out shots of you order multiple. We were bringing 10 plus at a time. Needles s today we were feeling good but nevertheless the food was amazing everyone in my party was satisfied. I had the skirt steak which was cooked perfect. Other people had the ribeye, birria tacos, steak tacos can't remember what else but all food was delicious. All drinks with alcohol were pretty good as well. I definitely recommend coming here it has a Vegas feel and vibe read more

Great place for parties! I had my birthday party here with friends. Only downside is the wait. I made a reservation at 7 but wasn't seated until 7:30pm at a table with not enough seats. The food was good. The tequila shots were not, I had my friends tell me their stomach hurt after having 1-2 of them. We went to the bar instead for drinks. Service was quick and good as well. read more

SeaFood was average, Music was too loud. Service was great. price was a bit high but that's because this is the fancy Tostadas (Segun) I like the other NONE prime "Tostadas Midtown" Seafood is way better & looks & tastes authentic. Tostadas_Prime has smaller portions at a fancy restaurant. I wouldn't go back, I just wanted to visit to see if my experience would be worth spending more money. read more

Eh... polite but somewhat inattentive service on a slow night. My glass sat empty for over 10 minutes until the server decided to show up and ask if I wanted another drink. Shrimp in aguachile felt off. I had so many good aguachiles in my life and this one was on the bottom of the list. We enjoyed the main courses. Drinks were just alright. We still left a 20% tip cause I work in the industry and I respect the restaurant staff but not sure if it was deserved. Wanted to try this place to see if I want to celebrate my bday here cause the ambiance is lovely but unfortunately this was a one time thing and I won't be coming back. read more

Had a reservation for 8:45pm, didn't get seated until 10pm. Service was good once seated. Food was decent, I tried the aguachiles and pasión traicionera which was amazing! Loved the music and ambiance overall. Just wish we didn't have to wait so long to get seated, but we did get a glass of champagne while we waited. read more

My sister made a reservation on Sunday 12/4 for a table of 6 at 9pm on Thursday 12/8 (her birthday). She received a text in the morning asking her to confirm her reservation at 9pm -- which she did. We show up at 9pm sharp and we're told we'll get a text when our table is ready. Initially, we don't mind because we see it's busy so we sit and wait. 25 minutes pass and two of us decide to go to the bar to kill time. After we get our drinks, we're realizing "wtf it's been 40 minutes??" We wait another 10 minutes and are watching the staff continue to be completely oblivious that there's a party of 6 (that had reservations) that's been waiting for almost AN HOUR. We ended up leaving at 9:50pm and had to scramble to find another place that was open and could take a table of 6 last minute. Here's a picture of the food we ended up getting at Yard House. I don't have any pictures from Tostada Prime since we never got seated to even order our food. Don't have a reservation system if you're unable to manage it. If we didn't have reservations on a special occasion, this wouldn't have been as annoying. But today, on my sister's birthday, it's pretty freaking annoying. Y'all could do a lot better than making people with reservations wait almost an hour to not even end up getting seated. Not disappointed that we didn't spend any money here other than at the bar. Bartenders were dope and that's about the only nice thing I can say about our experience here. 0 stars if I could. But 4 stars for Yard House read more

Good food, beautiful restaurant with murals of latinos. But a few things made me decide on only 3 stars. Our table of four had a reservation for weeks. We got our table right away, but then it all changed. Had to wait 15 minutes at our table for someone to even bring us water! Servers kept walking by, and no one acknowledged us or said I'll be with you in a few minutes. Nothing. And while we waited, the music in this restaurant was painfully loud. Like I couldn't talk to my husband next to me loud. I would compare it to a club sound level or worse....it was awful it started to hurt my ears. I looked around and saw couples with baby strollers inside. I would not consider this restaurant family friendly. The restaurant should at least wait until 8pm to turn into a nightclub atmosphere. I mean they had staff come out with whistles, sparklers, and signs for anyone who ordered bday shots. Going back to the long wait: I'm not sure if they were just waiting for more crew to check in for their shifts, but no one told us anything. We saw a manager type guy in a suit walking around, but he clearly saw us waiting and did not approach us to apologize or get our drink order going. We were ready to get up and leave when I told a busboy if we could get water, and thankfully for him we stayed because he also brought us this yummy black bean and salsa with mini tostadas I mean, it's sad I had to corner him. Finally, two staff members came to our table, and it was awkward as they wanted to claim our table as their own. So the female waitress we ended up with was kind but kept trying to sell us shots. Like, no, we dont want anyone whistling in our ears right now, lol. The drinks we did order were all delicious & creative. The food we ordered ranged from the calamari, seafood enchiladas to the Ribeye, all were decent, nothing amazing. I would have to say the black bean salsa we got at the beginning was the one item that did stand out. Everything on the menu is on the pricier side, so this isn't an affordable Mexican restaurant. Take a look at menus on Yelp or online if you are thinking of going. I would consider coming back ONLY for the bar area as a pre-game meetup /quick drink type of thing. Dinner was too expensive for the let down in service and not a place I would want to take my family to dine at. read more

Where to begin. My company travels to San Jose for about 16 weeks out of the year. No exaggeration, this is our favorite place in town. The quality of the food, utterly spectacular. And the staff; above and beyond. Personable, knowledgeable, informative, and friendly as can be... We have always felt at home here, and has become our regular stomping ground. I have the surf and turf, truly a treat. But I have had almost every item on the menu... The Pork chop, immaculate... the street tacos were some of my favorite carne asada on this side of the border! The pork chop, was my father's favorite pork chop since his mother's recipe, no joke. if you get here, ask for Tony, or Mike... The staff is beyond accommodating, and I certainly suggest taking their suggestions! Tostadas Prime is the best in town! read more

First I rarely do reviews so here is my take on Tostadas Prime. Had a 5:30 reservation. Got seated right away. Service was good. Drinks were good, could've used a bit more alcohol but they were decent. Ribeye aguachile is a must! Had a great time. Not going to lie I had a lot of hesitations in coming based on the reviews. In regards to pricing it's not bad. A pasta seafood bowl is in the $20s. Steaks are their more expensive dishes and have to buy separate sides. Food tasted great but a guest in our group ordered the tomahawk and did say it needed more flavor just like another friend of ours had stated based on their prior visit. Overall it was a great time. We didn't see any performances. Not sure if the service we got was better because of the time we got there, luck, or because there has been service improvements. I say give it a try! PS. The only main negative thing k have to say is their reservation system. I initially made one for 4 people at 5:30 and it got modified to 6:30 twice and the 2nd time it said for a party of 6. Not sure what is going on there but when I called both times they redid the reservation to my original booking. read more

I came to this restaurant to celebrate my birthday. My friends and I wanted to try this new restaurant based on social reviews. The ambiance was beautiful definitely a great place to take pics. As we sat down we wanted to start off with appetizers we ordered bone marrow, truffle fries and buratta. The bone marrow came out with only 3 pieces of bread for 3 bones. We had asked for bread multiple times so we can enjoy, but we did not get the bread till the end of our main meal so the bone marrow congealed and we were unable to enjoy it. My son only wanted fries which we had ordered right when we sat. We had asked the waitress when the fries would come out due to my son being hungry they then stated they forgot to put the order in. The fries did not come out till later with the main dishes and they were extremely cold like they were sitting out for a long time. The burrata tasted fine. Main course, we order prime rib, creamy mash potato, pastor, birria tacos, steak with bone marrow tacos and octopus tacos. Overall taste was decent but again some of our food came out really cold our mash potatoes were cold and pastor came out cold which was oddly confusing because the box it comes in works as heating component. I am not sure if the box we received did not work properly. We were very confused on why the food was as coming out cold. I would not come back to this restaurant. Based on the price you pay for food you would think you would get excellent service and that the food would be mind blowing but it is definitely overrated. My birthday experience was ruined by really bad service. I understand that this is new restaurant the ambience is great and the drink presentation were amazing. I just hope that they are able to step up their game by changing some portions, serve hot food and the servers should be more tentative and bring back what is requested in a timely matter, customers should not have to ask multiple times for items and food, nor should we keep chasing down a server to follow up and remind them what we requested especially if you are already adding 20% gratuity. The Price you pay for this restaurant does not match the service and quality of food. read more

Was looking forward to trying this place and it was just OK for me. Made a reservation for last Friday night for 7:30pm. We arrived on time and was told there were no tables available and it would still be a 30 minute wait. We were understanding as they recently opened. We walked around for 20 minutes and were notified our table was ready. We were seated and greeted right away by our waitress. (I would still recommend making a reservation.) Right away our waitress let us know the bartender was backed up, like super backed up, but again we were understanding and not in a rush. We ordered our drinks (El Cantaro and the Clarified Mojito). For food, we ordered and shared the calamari, the seafood pasta and the birria tacos. The food came out rather quickly. Everything was just okay. No lie, the free tostadas with beans and salsa was the best thing. We actually asked for more of this. I wouldn't ordered these items again. We pretty much were wrapping up eating before our drinks came out. I am not exaggerating when I say they took over an hour to arrive. When they did arrive, they gave me the wrong drink and then brought me the correct one. Sadly, both did not taste good and the mojito tasted like nothing remotely to a mojito. The owner (I'm assuming) was walking arrive providing free champagne for the inconvenience and long wait. The artwork is beautiful and the inside is aesthetically pleasing. The music is super loud so it's hard to have a conversation without yelling. The was also a fire entertainer walking around the restaurant. This is definitely an appealing place to Instagramers and TikTokers given their cool drinks and the way they are served. Wasn't the best experience. Our servers and all the staff was super friendly and doing their best, no doubt about that. I might give them a little more time to get established before returning. read more
