The food was okay. I expected a better flavor but it was just okay. I was disappointed in the kids taco meal it had a store bought taco shell. Not cool. My Chicken Tostada was okay. Again it didn’t have an authentic flavor it was a bit bland and chicken was dry. I added the red salsa to get some flavor. On the other hand The rice & beans were good.. my family liked it lots. On the other hand staff is amazing very helpful. I will be back again to support our local restaurants but I hope the cook does a better job.

Wow! Absolutely wow! I had Chili Verde, and it was amazing. The other two dishes in pic were Malinche. But the portions were little smaller than Mexican restaurant we normally eat; this is a Bay area though.

We got decent service here. Our waitress was nice. I ordered the tortilla soup and a salad. The tortilla soup was actually pretty good. It wasn’t the bomb but I’d order it again. It was simple and light. It had shredded chicken and melted cheese, and the broth was flavorful. The salad left alot to be desired. It was just iceberg lettuce, shredded cheese and olives with a cup of the balsamic dressing (it was Italian). So weird, it like they threw it together. The service was OK. I felt like everyone was dressed in regular clothes though so a couple waiters went by I wasn’t sure if they worked there. My mom ordered fish tacos and she was pissed because it was basically fish sticks. She wasn’t happy with what she ordered. Anyway, all in all it was just a so so experience.

Not authentic Mexican food. Place looks amazing and Customer service is great, but the food is horrible. Restaurant has traditional Mexican dishes but they add random ingredients. For Example, they add mushrooms to los camarones a la diabla dish. We were completely thrown off. Place would be great if it had better food.

The chili Verde was good but the portions were so small my wife and I walked next door and picked up some cheese steaks Togo. They served me 4 to 5 small pieces of pork (I could fit all the meat on a tablespoon) with roughly a cup of Verde sauce, 2 tablespoons of Beans & Rice. My wife and I frequent this place often and we love the staff but unfortunately we’ll never return. I’ve never seen portion sizes like this in a Mexican restaurant (it was humourous) you would’ve thought it was wagyu in that Verde. Our waitress agreed (nice young lady) and said she never eats here because the portions are too small, Nice to hear but of course that validation didn’t reflect on our $70 tab lol. My plate look like I popped up unexpected and they politely served me what they had left to spare lol I could’ve put my whole plate (beans & rice included) on a corn tortilla and made ONE big taco. Best thing about this restaurant is once your done eating you can walk to another restaurant and have dinner lol thank God for this cheese steak

We were greeted and seated right away. They brought us warm chips with salsa. The chips were ok but the salsa was watered down and didn’t have much flavor or anything in it. It was very runny. The drinks were the best thing. I had a margarita. I had a combination plate with a chili relleno, chicken taco, rice and beans. The chili relleno had so much cheese I hardly tasted the chili. I didn’t care for the sauce either. The beans and rice were bland. The rice had no onions or Vegetables in it and hardly any taste. The chicken taco had plenty of chicken but that’s all. My daughter gave me her guacamole and I put it in the taco for flavor. Nothing was hot or spicy which I like in my Mexican food. If you like mild Mexican food then you’ll like it here. My daughter liked her chicken burrito .

Entrance to the restaurant is unique for the area it’s in. The restaurant has out side seating- even tho you are under a roof and a safety wall you have the chance to experience a bit of fresh air.
