I am trying new restaurants with my son and ended up at El Maestro.My son ordered a shrimp burrito el Diablo and he couldn't eat it, because it was too hot.Later, we looked at what was inside the burrito, and besides the sauce being hot, the cook chopped up raw Serrano chiles raw with the seeds, and no wonder it was so incredibly hot!! Wow, the veins and seeds are 🔥 fire.I ordered an enchilada, and the sauce was not authentic, and the tamale was better.It comes with what looked like 3 to 4 tablespoons of beans, lacking flavor with Spanish rice, and the rice was hard and old.If you want good Mexican food, Adelitas in Campbell is the best so far on my list...I definitely won't come back here again.I'm very disappointed. I won't even mention the fact that an entire family was served before we were, and we ordered way before the family was seated. It's just not worth it.Save your money$$$
We frequent this place every few months, and my go-to is their delicious and consistent shrimp fajitas with grilled jalapeños on the side.The chips, salsa, and guacamole are also enjoyable, and others in our group have liked their diverse dishes. We often gather here for friends' birthdays, usually a sizable group, resulting in a higher bill, but the service is consistently good.It's not a fancy spot, but they work hard, and the margaritas are quite good.The bar always has sports to watch.I wish they were open for lunch on weekdays other then Fridays, but the evenings work for us. Convenient parking is usually abundant in the plaza.No significant wait times, and the authentic Mexican food makes it a great spot for a quick and casual meal.
I have been trying out many chimichangas in the Bay Area.Most of them have too thick tortilla.El Mastro had thin tortilla which was great.However the meat inside wasn't tasty and below expectations.The best chicken chimichangas ever was in Chico, CA, but sadly that restaurant has closed down.
