Their Palomas are on point, the tricolor salad (add shrimp) is great as are their enchiladas and nachos. Do try the chapulines, they taste like baked pumpkin seeds. Oh, and Adolfo is a kind, caring and generous member of the community. Win/win!
Mezcal continues to hit the spot! Service is always solid, the freshly made guacamole with warm chips are 10/10. Cruise by Christmas in the park ans stop in for a bite and a beverage.

This is one of those San José best kept secrets, the place is fantastic, the atmosphere is great, food and drinks are top notch and the prices are very reasonable. This is one of my favorite restaurants in downtown and am so happy they still deliver great quality Oaxacan food. I love Mole Negro, Enfrijoladas, Enchiladas Suizas and Tlayudas con Tasajo

We just got lunch here and absolutely loved the experience. The food was incredible, every dish was so good! Our server was so personable and made us feel genuinely welcome the whole time, even chatting with us about the music. The owner even stopped by our table to chat, and he was so kind. The atmosphere was warm, inviting, and full of charm. You can really tell this place is run with care and pride. I’ll definitely be coming back!

We’ve lived in downtown San Jose for a few years but had never dined here before. We’d tried stopping by on a few Friday evenings, but it was always packed—a good sign! :)
This time, we came for a late lunch and really enjoyed the experience. The service was excellent, the food was delicious, and the overall vibe was relaxed and welcoming.
We ordered the fresh guacamole, a mezcal and tamarind cocktail, tacos, and a chicken burrito—everything was great. We’ll definitely be back!

It was quite unexpected to see such a beautiful decor and style inside the restaurant, made you feel like your in a place far away from SF. We ordered guacamole and chips to start and tacos for lunch. We head some questions about the manue and the waiter brought out a sample to try, so nice. Definitely a place will revisit next time we are in the area.

FOOD POISONING ON 10/13/25
Ordered 2 vegan enchiladas around 7:30pm Threw up all night into the early morning What a shame. Usually a great place to eat but now I don’t trust them and will NEVER order from here again.
It felt like we were dining indoor/outdoor- best of both worlds! Friendly service and excellent food & drinks. Especially loved the crickets!

The food was abysmal. The guac was under seasoned. No like, no salt. The mole chicken was bitter and the chicken had a chicken-y taste to it. The chicken tacos were dry and lacked taste too. The only saving grace was the tamarind non alcoholic drink. Great vibe though but unsurprisingly empty.

Love the painting and music there, the kids menu is great also. Big portions of food and nutritional items to choose from, though I don’t speak Spanish, I can still get good food and drink there!
