“ Stopped by to get some lunch found out about buffet .. was delicious i recommend it to all ”
“ While waiting for tires to be installed at Costco, I wandered over to this very out of the way little gem! I was definitely the first customer of the day and the place was empty but i was greeted by the very professional and friendly staff. I sat at the bar. Started off with awesome house salsa and guacamole. I ordered the chilaquiles w/ chicken. What a delicious and amazing early lunch. The red sauce was really good and the salty cotija cheese is awesome. The whole dish was fantastic! Get down here and get yer belly full of some amazingly authentic Mexican food! ”
“ Absolutely incredible food. This is my second time here and I'm already looking forward to coming back. I got the ultimate nachos and it was a huge serving. Definitely good for sharing. If you think you won't finish, ask for the chips to be on the side instead of under the toppings. My friends got the shrimp tacos and ceviche. They declared the tacos the best they'd ever had. Would have given them five stars but the service was a little slow. Great servers and they were super friendly... just a tad slow. ”
“ This place is amazing! Walking in it has been renovated since the last restaurant that occupied the space. It's bright and clean. The bar is beautiful. Plenty of seating. Wait staff is not in a hurry to help you. Downfall #1. The menus are super small print- bring your reading glasses. And the live music was way too loud. Now the good stuff! The salsa was amazing! The food was amazing! The chef in the kitchen looks like she could own the place. She looked so passionate about cooking. The portions are huge. The salad dressing on the salad was the best ever. Sweet but tangy. It blew our minds. The street tacos were great! And the burritos. This place blows away other restaurants in the area. Why it wasn't more filled I'll never know. Get rid of the loud live music - make the staff have a little urgency and this place would shine. We will for sure be back! ”
“ First time here and ordered margarita's at the bar. A spicy jalepeno and a blue margarita and they were very tasty. Margarita's are $16 and up. Watched them measure and they were very weak....If I want a good margarita, I prefer Girabaldis, as you feel you are getting your money's worth. It looks so much nicer inside than San Jose's (my old go to Mexican restaurant) and so clean! The manager was so sweet and I wish them much success... There is so much competition in the area. I feel they are over-priced and this will hurt them in the long run. ”
“ I'm sorta perplexed by the bad reviews of this place. Yesterday I went for the first time, and personally, I thought it was fantastic. The house margarita was actually super good and tasted very fresh. The obligatory chips and salsa were noticeably a notch above the normal grade stuff you get everwhere. And the al pastor taco I had was awesome. Just talking about it makes me hungry. The flavor was rich, the tortilla was nice and thin, the pineapple was present and finely chopped. And the bartender was super cool and friendly. Yes, San Jose's had an old school charm. But this place is more high end, and it's got promise. Some other reviewers mention service issues, and if true, that's not good. But on my visit, there were no problems. And, I'm definitely going back. ”
