Really loved this place. Everything we ordered was very good. We got chilaquiles, a burrito, and quesabirria and each tasted authentic and yummy.

They were a little short-staffed, but the service was still great. Everyone was very kind, checked in on us, and never made us feel rushed or forgotten.

The café de olla was PERFECT. Warm, cozy, and exactly right.

Overall just a really solid spot with good food and good energy. Would 100% come back.

Food was delicious and everything was hit. If salsa they give us not hot enough please request hotter salsa and they will gladly give one. Coffee was great. Will come back and highly recommend this restaurant.

I love this restaurant. It so so fresh and everything is hand made! It’s not only the tortillas but everything! It so wonderful in so many different ways. The food is excellent and the ambiance is fantastic. If you like Mexican food this is the most delicious in the Bay Area.

Very good authentic Mexican food.
I’d recommend the quesabirria plate, it comes with 4 quesabirrias which are not only delicious but too many. The broth that is included is also quite tasty.

Don’t skimp on the hand made tortillas, they’re excellent and well worth it.

My only complaint is that their Chavela Is rimmed with chamoy and tajin instead of salt. Otherwise everything was amazing.

Went here based on the good reviews, but I was very disappointed. The parking lot is small so we had to look for a parking spot in the street. When we entered, we were greeted, and we were told to sit wherever we would like. The lady took our order, and my husband ordered a michelada (the lady never said anything that the lady who made the drinks was not in). We were almost done with our food when she told us that the lady who made drinks was not in, but she will get someone to make the michelada. The torta ahogada was more like a dry torta, and the sauce tasted like tapatio (the one that goes on top). The horchata I could not finish it because it tasted like water with sugar. When my husband went to the register to pay, no one told him that the gratuity was already included in the check. This is unacceptable. I would not recommend going here for Mexican food.

Don’t walk, run to this place.

I’m so happy “I found” this place. As a Mexican, you always miss the food with a taste of home, and after 10 years living in the Bay Area, today I can’t stop smiling and keep “thinking/dreaming” about the food.

As a vegetarian, it is always disappointing that in the “Mexican places” your options are: quesadilla, bean burrito with rice, chips & guacamole, and french fries, but here you can have options and also you can enjoy gorditas!! (handmade and with authentic Mexican flavor).

They have a varied and truly Mexican menu (note: burritos and french fries are not Mexican) and el Café de Olla (delicious Mexican coffee) is legit, and please, try their Aguas Frescas.

It’s a family-owned place, where 95% of its employees are women. All of them are very kind and friendly.

Today I had:
* Tacos dorados de carne (tacos in fry tortilla with potato and lamb), comes with consomé, onion & cilantro, and hot salsas
* Chicharrón gordita (pork rind in green salsa), comes with queso fresco and beans.
* Potato gordita, comes with queso fresco and hot salsa
* Rajas con queso gordita (a plate with a base of poblano pepper, cream, corn and onion), comes with hot salsa
* Gordita Zacatecana
* Café de olla
* Agua fresca (mix of cucumber and lemon, so refreshing)

Please, enjoy every single item of this hidden gem.

LOVELY !!! AUTHENTIC !!! KIND STAFF !!! DELICIOUS !!!

After recovering from the long illness, I wanted to east something good, affordable, hygienic. Let me recommend this place in my full senses. Justifying my recommendation below:

1. It has authentic Mexican food. The real flavors comes out in every single bite.

2. They have got a good vegetarian options. They are very open to replacing meat options with the veg options as well.

3. Staff is very welcoming to people from all walks of life. They are very well trained in their jobs and ensure to note done any kind of dietary restriction for their guests.

4. The ambience is beautiful and gives the Mexican vibe. I just adore to look at the colorful walls and feel lively with the entertaining music (not too loud) in he background.

5. The food served is delicious in every bite. It doesn’t loses its charm at all at any point.

Want to try really good Mexican food. This is the stop. Kudos to the entire staff.
