Came for lunch on a Friday and was able to get seated right away. The food was amazing! The flavors and textures of the food were all on point. A great menu with a lot of different options, and a variety of seafood options.
The ribeye steak taco was my favorite out of all the things we had.
The decor and vibe of the restaurant was fun. Uplifting and if you like watching soccer they have tons of large TVs playing soccer games.

The portions are really generous !!
I highly recommend the guacamole with fried octopus.
+ There’s a staff who takes photos, so it would be a great place to create beautiful memories.

A group of girl friends decided to come have brunch on an early Monday afternoon. First timers.
Everything about this place was excellent! Food, Service, Atmosphere & the Entertainment!
They gave all 7 of us complimentary Cafe de Olla and Flan… Management took great care of us!
Will definitely come back and will definitely spread the word about this place. ❤️

Tonight, we visited La Más Querida Cantina & Cocina, a Mexican restaurant tucked away off Story Road and Highway 101 on the northeast side of San Jose. After reading some strong reviews—and being big fans of quality Mexican food—we decided to give it a try. We’ve been to many (if not all) of the top-rated Mexican spots in the South Bay, so our expectations were high. Not to mention, I lived in LA for over a decade and grew to love authentic Mexican cooking from my coworkers and friend’s moms.
When we arrived, the restaurant was relatively quiet, but it started filling up as we enjoyed our meal. We did have a small hiccup when one of our appetizers was missed, but it was quickly addressed and honestly didn’t take away from the overall experience.
What stood out most was the food—it was phenomenal. Every dish we tried was packed with flavor, well-seasoned, and clearly made with quality ingredients. From the sauces to the chips, the shrimp to the skirt steak, even the beans—everything was on point. As people who regularly fine dine (feel free to check my profile), we were genuinely impressed by the depth of flavor and the thoughtful execution.
The vibe of the place was lively and welcoming, and while it’s a bit of a drive for us, we’re already planning a return visit. The staff was young, friendly, and attentive, and the overall service was warm and casual in the best way.
A few extras worth noting: we appreciated the large, high-quality TVs around the space—great for catching a game. The one small suggestion I’d make is upgrading the napkins to higher-quality or reusable cloth ones. It would elevate the overall dining experience even further.
Pricing was very reasonable, the ambiance was fun, and the restaurant is located in a huge plaza with plenty of parking, surrounded by other Mexican grocery stores, restaurants, and shops. It’s a vibrant area that adds to the charm of the visit if you’re looking for authenticity.
All in all, La Más Querida is a fantastic find. We’re excited to come back, try more dishes, and bring friends and family along next time.

The atmosphere is definitely the highlight. It has a fun, lively party vibe and feels energetic inside. However, I probably wouldn’t sit outside— there were some sketchy people loitering around the parking lot area, which made it a bit uncomfortable.
The food was okay but nothing memorable. It’s not very traditional Mexican food (no rice and beans served with meals), and some dishes lacked the authentic flavors you’d expect.
Unfortunately, the service was very disappointing. Chips and salsa were brought out at odd times, guacamole was served without chips, and we had to ask multiple times for basic things. The lack of attentiveness really impacted the overall experience.

We went for bridal shower. I was super excited to be there but unfortunately, not long into our dinner. The service was horrible. I felt like the reason the waitress was not tentative was because she already knew she was getting a tip because it is included for a bigger parties, which I understand but if you’re gonna be charging people for tips and you’re getting a big amount of tip I would expect good service. We had to ask many times for a refills on drinks and we were never asked if we were doing OK other than when we were almost leaving. When we would ask for things, it seemed like our waitress would get upset my mom had asked a guy who was just standing around who looked like he might’ve been the manager if he could grab my mom a drink because our waitress was nowhere to be found, and he was rude to my mom said yeah, and then just went to go talk to somebody else. The food was OK. It wasn’t bad but unfortunately me and my cousin did end up getting sick. It’s very beautiful inside, but sometimes looks can be deceiving their service should be much better. I was super disappointed because I was looking forward to a fun time.

I visited this place for the first time about seven months ago and have been about 10 times since. I really love it here. I have a waitress named Clarissa who is fantastic. I’ve seen her multiple times; her energy is incredible. She’s beautiful, and I might even host my birthday party here because it’s so lively. I enjoy this restaurant a lot—the food is excellent, and the staff is friendly. The atmosphere is great—really positive and vibez Genuine people there go check it out and get some good shrimp tacos or shrimp empanadas margaritas are to die for
