Stumbled on the place by accident when I thought gps was taking me to another Mexican food restaurant and I'm so glad I made that mistake? I was so impressed with the food and service! I had the menudo and my mom had the beef soup and both were uh-maz-ing!!!!! But what blew us away completely were the handmade (or home made?), corn tortillas that were as big as flour tortillas and they don't skimp on the amount they give you.
Probably the best corn tortillas I have ever tasted.
I live an hour away but I will drive back here again! And, service with a huge smile.

If I could give this place 10 stars I would.
To start off the food is extremely good, I don't think I've ever had better food in San Jose than I did here.
I have had THE best service in town, I felt very much at home all thanks to the wonderful lady by the name of Amelia.
Amelia was very attentive to my family's needs and our food order; she made sure that I and my entire family were well taken care of.
I recommended this restaurant to my friends and extended family.
I will definitely be returning again as I had such a great experience.

I tried this place out with my family and my experience was perfect.
Not only was the food amazing but Amelia made it so much more enjoyable.
I’ve never left a restaurant more content and that is all because of Amelia.
I will definitely be going back!
