I cannot stop saying good things about this business. The food is top tier. It's unique and authentic and I cannot make a trip to San Jose without stopping by and getting their food. You cannot go wrong with on that menu. The owner is kinda and friendly and you can tell he really puts a lot of thought and effort into the food he presents.

8/13 Co-workers requested we come back for lunch and it did not disappoint! The tacos are so amazing. Don't she away from the veggie tacos either. They are smokey and just full of flavor. ❤️

4/10 Review - came back for more and the star review still holds. The fish taco is exactly what a fish taco should be. Fresh fish, grilled to perfection, spicy, crunchy cabbage, fresh thick corn tortillas that hold together perfectly. The surf & turf tacos...
