“ This family owned restaurant is ran with lots of love between staff to the customers. I feel like I'm visiting family. What a great experience. The food- hands down the best authentic Mexican food around! I live in Morgan hill and drive to Gilroy when I want posole or menudo which is SERVED DAILY! Their birra tacos and dip sauce is the best I've had and I've tried all local/near by town restaurants. I even bring my friends with me and they love it and praise the service/food as well. ”
“ I've tried every Mexican restaurant in Gilroy and this place is the best. Everything is good here and the Deluxe Burrito with rice and sour cream added is phenomenal. ”
“ Service is a bit slow but for sure your food will taste very good. The place is big and looks like it has been updated. ”
“ Ate there with my wife and 2 kids and the staff were friendly and food was great. Definitely recommend. ”
“ It's only my 2nd time here and this is my new "go to" in Gilroy! My wife loves the Menudo here and say it's the best in town. I'd have to agree as well. I ordered the Burrito Bañado and this too is the best of Gilroy! This spot is underrated and a hidden gem! Services was consistent even if it was busy. Follow thru with drinks, asking if everything was okay and if we need anything else. My only complaint is that we sat next to the windows and there were a few bugs and flys flying around. Needless to say that I'll be back and would recommend to everyone! ”
“ The restaurant decorations are so nice. The workers here are nice and friendly. They price wasn't that bad either. I was searching for a Mexican restaurant because my mother in-law was hungry, so we gps the way to the restaurant but didn't realize it's only street parking. The food here here are good and delicious. I got a carne asada burrito with everything. I even ask for sour cream. Didn't know they didn't put rice in the burrito. It's ok because without the rice the burrito tasted better. ”
