Charming quaint ambiance. They have a sweet peacful patio in the back filled with vines and tropical plants. Like a little oasis. Food was meh. I enjoyed the patio more than the food.

The people there are super nice, but the food is just so so. The surf and turf burrito has so little shrimp it is, a bit disappointed...

This place was great! June 2021 and indoor dining is open. I ordered the surf and turf burrito. My girl ordered shrimp tacos. I love the decor and the taste of the food here. Shrimp here is really good! They sell Little Giant Ice Cream too. I'd come back again.

Tacos looked small. Thats two plates of tacos in pic. The trick is to use the extra tortilla and split them into two, then they seemed big enough :). Skip the chips (chips are oily) and the green (tomatillo) salsa. Both are tasteless. The red salsa is good. The tortilla soup was supposedly very good. Wish they had a vegetarian version of it! 3 stars for the food and 1 star for the name coz i love Xolo dogs :)

Machaca burrito and the shrimp tacos were delicious. I really missed some authentic Mexican food that's not so "California fusion" although they also have items in the menu to cater to that such as the surf n turf burrito.

Been here twice. Really great authentic Mexican. My fav are beef crispy tacos. Carne asada and carnitas is great. Burritos are good size. Customer service always awesome. Back court outdoor eating is nice on a warm day.

I ate here about 10 years ago and still haven’t forgotten about my experience - the burritos are overpriced, small, and don’t hold a candle to the myriad actual taquerias available here in the bay. The flavor of the food is alright, and im sure the quality of ingredients comply with modern upscale dining- it just doesn’t have the “soul” or whatever you want to call it, of a Mexican taqueria - where blue collar folks can afford a delicious, hearty , and non pretentious meal.

Ate them so fast I didn't have time to take a picture. The fish taco was the highlight for me. Shrimp was ok....same with mushroom... And could have used more hot sauce/salsa on errything. But all in all a great spot that hit the spot.
