About Andale Mexican Kitchen and Bar Patio

Andale Mexican Kitchen and Bar Patio is a Bay Area favorite in Los Gatos, known for its authentic, fresh, organic Mexican food. The restaurant features a friendly service team and a stylish outdoor patio perfect for any occasion, from romantic dates to group dinners. The menu offers a variety of dishes, including the popular chile relleno and the newer quesabirria, which has received praise for its tender, flavorful shredded beef and crispy tortillas. The atmosphere combines cute indoor seating with two outdoor areas, all kept clean and inviting. The restrooms are also well-maintained. The restaurant opens a few minutes after its scheduled time, but the staff's effort to serve customers well stands out. While the food generally receives positive comments, some dishes, like the Carnitas Taco and Chipotle Burrito, were described as lacking flavor, possibly due to ordering the wrong items or the way they are prepared—salsa outside the burrito or bland taste overall. The $7 chips are fresh but small, and some customers question the charge since free chips are available elsewhere. Drinks like the Bloody Mary and burritos could benefit from more flavor, with suggestions to put salsa inside or add more tang and lemon. The waiter’s extra effort was appreciated and contributed to a good overall experience, despite some food tasting mild. Overall, Andale remains a safe choice for sit-down Mexican food with a broad menu, good service, and a pleasant patio setting.
