This is a great Mexican place to dine on California Street. With that street closed for Al fresco dining, there are plenty of parking spots available in the adjacent streets with a free parking garage as well. I went there with my family on a Thursday evening for dinner. The place was relatively full and it was easy to get a table. We got ourselves Chicken Chalupas, Enchiladas Al Chipotle with chicken and Camarones a la diabla. The delivery was quite fast with the chalupas arriving within 10 minutes. There were 3 chalupas there and each tasted unique in its own flavor. The enchiladas were usual as I would expect them to be with chipotle sauce. The highlight of the dinner was the Shrimp dish with quite a kick of spicyness. For people with less interest in spicy food, this dish might not be for you. However, I liked it a lot and tasted quite unlike anything I have tried in Mexican cuisine. Overall, this place is a must try and we had great experience dining here.

While every 5th restaurant in CA serves Mexican food, this one stands out in top 3 for me for authentic Mexican food, excellent salsa, best black beans ever and Coke in Mexican bottle (better than all other Coke that you get in US)!! Wonderful service and interior decor.. I don't remember overeating at any other resturant before.. will keep going again and again..Vegetarian options: They confirmed that their beans and rice are not cooked in chicken broth or lard. Overall not many, but, few good veg options are available. Especially Inchiladas Ranchero is excellent..

Such a hidden gem on the California Avenue. Absolutely love the outdoor seating vibes here! The food and drinks are top-notch, and the street views at night make the experience even better. Authentic flavors and great atmosphere. Looking forward to coming back soon!

Food is mediocre and was served pretty cold. Service is impersonal and feels rushed. Atmosphere is okay but nothing special. I would not recommend going here when you can go to Vive Sol or Agave in Mountain View.
Good food with nice spin on well known dishes. Margaritas are pricy, but very big and taste great.

This Mexican place is actually pretty good! Chips and salsa are good, nachos are good, and quesadillas are good. I give this place a 4 star because I think they could've done better with the tacos. I got 2 tacos and although the toppings were fine, I dont like when the tortillas on a taco are flimsy and break apart. I want a sturdy taco that holds together. The restaurant has hard working employees however and it's a good environment. 4/5

Has anyone had hardly fried tortillas chips?Not here! Had complementary, nicely fried and crispy chips! Slightly expensive but big portions. Recommend this place for good Mexican food and ambiance!This photo is for Tostada with Chicken.

Overall good variety in their menu. Their mole is really good, but the seasoning of the guacamole was not great- too much salt and garlic for my taste, and a bit watery. Tends to be crowded, no reservations.

Worst Mexican food I ever had. I ordered chicken fajitas with corn tortillas and both were very tasteless. Except rice and beans there was no topping like cream or guacamole or salat. It was very boring without any spices and not even salt and pepper. 28$ for such a food is simply insane. Would not recommend it to anyone.
Taquila flight is nice!?
