“Yesterday was my first time going to this location. I’ve been to other San Jose’s before, but this one is definitely my favorite. Our waitress, Balu, was awesome! My boyfriend and I were very pleased with the overall service, and the Very Berry drinks were so good. The atmosphere was also very pleasant and welcoming. We left happy, full, and satisfied 😆💫🫶❤️“

“Just had the most amazing Mexican food. We ordered basics because we had never been here before - nachos, tacos and tostadas. Figured if they do the basics well we can order up. Well I would feel comfortable ordering anything on their menus. Everything had flavor and their hot sauce (regular and Mexican hot) were both flavorful and the heat was amazing. If you know - you know

Alex at the bar was amazing as well.

It was so good I bought the chef a drink for later.

Highly recommend.“

“I went with 4 others and I can only speak for my meal. I got the combo2 and when it came out, the refried beans were hot, the enchiladas were cold and the rice was lukewarm. I don't know how they managed that but, they did. Apparently no complaints from the other that were noted.“
