“Really really enjoyed our time here! We’ve been a few times now, and I will definitely consider this a “go-to” place for an easy, quick, delicious bite to eat.
I would highly recommend the tortilla soup, any burger, chicken sandwich, and the fish tacos. Service was smooth and respectful. Food came out hot and correct.
Lots of brews to choose from as well. If you’re into ciders, they have those as well. Super impressed and grateful for the clean location and kind staff.
Looking forward to the next time!
Side note: they have a clean patio that is dog-friendly!“

This location is not the traditional Don Jose/Ricardo's layout with a truly California Mexican restaurant feel but it's very nice and comfortable. The food tastes the exact same. The staff was great and I will be back until either it or myself no longer exists.“
