Pre-Hispanic Cuisine was born to honor our indigenous people and their ingredients, to honor nature and earth. Our journey began as a food truck in 2019, with a dream to exalt indigenous cuisine, using local ingredients and produce. We appreciate the opportunity to share our roots with community.

Reviews
The star of the show was the Cochinita Pibil (Yucatán-style braised pork)…it was fall-off-the-bone tender, bursting with rich, authentic flavors from the traditional marinade. The tacos and potatoes we tried had incredible depth of flavor too; definitely not your standard fare, in the best way.
Portions were generous, and the presentation was gorgeous; everything looked as good as it tasted. The staff was super friendly and attentive—they kept our drinks refilled without hovering. Desserts were solid: churros hit the spot, though the flan was a bit lumpy.
This spot brings something truly special to Morgan Hill with its pre-Hispanic-inspired dishes. Highly recommend for anyone craving elevated, authentic Mexican cuisine. We’ll be back soon!
We enjoyed our meal on the dog-friendly patio, where the service was warm and attentive. There’s even more seating in the charming side garden, and everything from the tables to the chairs was spotless. Generous portions, fair prices, and a welcoming atmosphere. We will definitely be back!
The quality was excellent and light. I like to taste the flavors of the food without many salsas. The cazuela was just perfect.
Service was also excellent!
We will definitely be back to try other dishes.
We found a table without wait.
Our server was friendly. The order came out fairly quickly.
Kids loved the chicken tacos.
I especially liked the fish burrito which was more of a custom request. They modified the chicken burrito and substituted the chicken for fish.
Papas Bravas was also a pleasant surprise. Potatoes were crunchy on the outside.
The veggie tacos were also good.
Overall we really like the food, ambiance and the service.
What I liked:
Generous portion. I was completely full after ordering the cochinita pibil.
Friendly service.
I liked the tortillas and salsa macha (sort of).
What I didn’t enjoy:
This is the first time in years I had to salt my own food. The rice was bland, the black beans were just ok. The cochinita pibil was presented well but I found it to be a little dry and lacking flavor.
The decor is very mundane. It looked like they just went to the San Jose Flea Market and bought cheap Mexican art to toss up on the walls.
I’m glad this place exists and I wish them tremendous success but I just didn’t enjoy my meal much.
I’ve had cochinita pibil in Cancun and there it was moist and well seasoned throughout, this wasn’t it.
Open to coming back and trying a different dish but my first visit wasn’t memorable
Food was way overpriced. I think it’s catered to the rich people/ tourists in Morgan hill.
I got 2 tacos, ($7 each). comes with a side of beans and rice. Also got a hibiscus tea. Costs $30 with tacos that fall apart, and the beans and rice had no flavor or seasoning.
Super bland. The tea wasn’t great neither.
Chips and salsa should be a standard appetizer. When I asked the waiter for some, he said they’d have to charge and it was $5 or something ridiculous. He mentioned that the tortillas are handmade, and that’s why they charge. I get inflation and costs but cmon, chips and salsa for $5? Bunk.
The tacos weren’t the best neither, the meat was ok, but the “handmade” tortillas didn’t add any flavor boost or bring the flavors of the meat out.
Overpriced is my critical opinion. for $10 I can make my own chips and salsa that’ll last a few days and feed a crowd. For $40 i can have a bbq that’ll feed 3-5 people.
The waiter was ok, not super professional but average.
it was a waste of my time and money. Seems like a place for a money grab disregarding authenticity.
I won’t be coming here again.
This is a gem. Highly recommending this restaurant.
Everything we had was superb.
We also got a Yucatan appetizer, telecast, which are triangle shapped masa puffy tortillas with a fantastic black bean salsa with other salsas on top. So flavorful and beautiful as well.
This is now one our very favorite restaurants.
