I just wanted to share a fantastic find with you. There's this amazing restaurant in San Jose that serves the most authentic Mexican cuisine. Despite its humble appearance, the food is absolutely genuine and delicious. My personal favorite is the Cocido de Res, which, believe it or not, even surpasses my mom's recipe. I totally recommend giving this place a try. The only thing is, I wish they would extend their operating hours.
The food was very delicious… my order was deviled shrimp, spicy by the way. The freshly made corn tortillas are the best. Highly recommended…
Parking: Find parking around the premises…

A friend brought me here for the first time. I had the beef Soup? It was delicious.
They serve a big portion. With homemade tortillas. I will definitely be back.
And I would definitely recommend this place.

A must try if you want to experience very good, authentic Mexican food!
I was in the area with associates and the request was for great, authentic Mexican food. After a little researching, this was the spot. A diverse menu, authentic, good prices, and wonderful customer service. We felt the passion and love from the family/workers which translated to an overall wonderful experience! Check it out!

Food was good. Prices a little high but what can you do anymore. Food was very tasty and though we were there during a very busy lunch hour, the service was very good, with a wonderful smile to boot.

Horrible customer service after coming here as a guest multiple times. Ended up talking to the owner who was unprofessional and didn't even offer any accommodation. I never received my food or a refund. Do not

The food is always great, but it's such a small place that it gets pretty crowded. Parking can also be a challenge to find.

Menudo is made with garbanzos, not with hominy.

The waitress recommended shrimp tacos because they didn't have fish when I started eating the shrimp it was cooked in Manteca I could taste it on my palate ??
The tortilla began to fall apart, it was wet from the vegetables and the worst thing was they put American cheese on the lettuce instead of Mexican, the quality is terrible for the price they ask. What a waste of money and time ???
