Awesome little Mexican place in San Jose. The pumpkin seed salsa from chips w/ 3 salsas , veggie tacos & hibiscus margaritas all top notch. My desert was awesome too. A+.

The CHORIZO Y MOLE NEGRO was great! I thought the price was steep but out came 2 tortillas piled so high I needed a knife and fork to eat them! I left happy and full so I highly recommend this dish.

A cozy boutique restaurant located on a very busy street, The Alameda. The food fails to validate its pricing, however they do an excellent job with their food and drink presentation.

The food and service were exceptional! My nephew and I split the quesadilla and shrimp tacos and they were delicious. We will definitely be back soon!

Ordered the blue corn quesadilla scramble which came without avacado , Chile Verde and it was not a scramble. When I asked, they brought it on the side and they shaped it like a quesadilla (See photo)

Psst! Splurge for the guacamole topped with crisp bacon and pistachios ($9). It's worth it. The carne asada ($18.50) is amazing. Read more

Tacos are not a large portion so beware, the enchiladas looked delicious though. Make sure you get the guacamole with all the stuff on top
