This was our first visit back to an Jose since before the pandemic. It’s still fast, inexpensive Mexican food. Maybe a little salty but a good quick meal. Love the endless chips and delicious salsa.

Great place for VERY AMERICANIZED MEXICAN. Heavy on the salt and gooey cheese, light on flavors, heat, and creativity. Just the way Americans like it. So if you are a silly American who eats like a toddler and particularly enjoys mariachi music playing in the background so you can feel so cultured, here's your place! Specifically, my chile relleno was not a filled poblano pepper, breaded, topped with a tomato based sauce... it was made with a bell pepper, spoonful of ground meat, topped with tons of gooey cheese. Zero heat. Zero spice. This was a pretty good example of the rest of the fare at our table. Service was good. Place was clean and had lots of atmosphere. Tons of potential here but they need to bring in some authentic flavors, a few unique signature dishes, and for love, change the music. Such a missed opportunity.

Excellent service and delicious food!!! My husband had the Steak Ranchero, which he said was yummy, and I had the combo enchilada and burrito with rice and beans. The prices here can’t be beat for such quality food. Their guacamole was so good and my husband said their salsa was the best he’s ever eaten. We got here a little after 5 and we have been well taken care of. We will definitely come again.

The worst service I've experienced in years!!!
We had family in town visiting from Michigan and Mom wanted Mexican. We walked in and were not greeted by staff. He asked "how many" and escorted us over to our seat and tossed the menus on the table and said that our waiter would be with us soon. Our waiter came, we asked him his name( because waiters normally introduce themselves) and he wouldn't give the name. He was very rude and rushed us to place our orders, even after we told him that we needed a minute. Food came out quick. My daughter didn't like the shrimp tacos, we asked him if we could switch it out for something else. He told us that we could, but that we would still have to pay for the other food. My daughter only took one bite of the taco. As we left, I asked the waiter for a few bags for our to go trays and he told me to ask someone else. We will definitely not be returning.

I have been to at least 4 of the restaurants and have always ordered the same meal and all of them have a slightly different set up. There all good but different. This is really easy going Tex-mex food nothing bad but nothing outstanding. Chips always been good salsa is pretty plain to work for alot of different tastes but that makes it a bit bland. I think there a good economical place for lunch or dinner for a family. Their dishes are always good size and good to eat. Service has always been hit or miss but nothing seriously bad. They have good drink specials. I would recommend this place any time

Really delicious food, nice authentic atmosphere and flavors!
I had the Al Pastor tacos and they did not disappoint in the least. The picture is of their delicious fried fish and a pitcher of margaritas!! Yummy
*the only thing I would change is the to-go situation. In the future, please do not put toppings on any dessert(s) that may melt and make the dessert soggy. It ruined our churros.*
We will be back! Thanks!
