Service here is beyond amazing. We had a late dinner & even though the kitchen was closed, they stayed open for kareoke & drinks just to hang out. Now the food is phenomenal. I never had a Mexican sushi and it was awesome. The Shrimp Ceviche is the perfect shareable appetizer. The vibe is definitely welcoming even when you don't speak Spanish that we stayed for another round of beers. They're definitely a fun restaurant

Such good food, so glad the hubby found this place! The dish that surprised me the most was the sushi alambre.. I'm a big sushi person, so I was a bit iffy about not seafood sushi tbh-- but oh man! The sushi alambre changed my mind for sure! One bummer was that they were out of oysters when we went and they kind of forgot to tell us until we asked when we were almost done eating.

Super nice and attentive staff and even yummier food! I love how they're also open late!! Also, I have to add: the chips and salsa ARE SO GOOD. I love how the chips are extremely light. You can tell they really love being in the restaurant from how much fun the atmosphere feels. Definitely going to be a regular customer here, even though I'm a bit far from San Jose.

Lots of tasty authentic Mexican seafood dishes here! They also serve Mexican sushi which was a unique find! The freshness of the dishes here can be tasted through each bite of seafood. My party and I loved their shrimp empanadas. Cheesy, savory, and super delicious outer shell. The Molcajete Mixto was the most memorable item we tried. Served piping hot and with a side of tortillas, beans, and rice, it made for the perfect shareable dish. All the meats in the dish were cooked and charred perfectly and the cheesy salsa in the middle added delicious flavor! It was also my first time trying Agua Chile; it reminds me a lot of ceviche. The seafood used was shrimp, which bursted with spicy-limey flavor. So juicy! Be careful with the aguachile rojo because the spice lingers for awhile. They also serve non-alcoholic micheladas; great for those who like beer & tomato juice. I was more of a fan of the shrimps that it came with. It was basically empty on a weekday at around 8PM, but I came by on a weekend once and it was completely packed. There's TV blasting in the background along with some music. Could be a great lively spot to watch the game + do karaoke with friends. Lovely service!

Like most, you've probably seen the Mexican Sushi on Instagram! Lots of foodies have reviewed this place on their reels and I'm always wary of that but it looked intriguing enough so decided to give it a try. I ordered the Sushi Alambre and Mar Y Tierra (Surf & Turf) Taco. The sushi itself was definitely Instagram worthy, looks amazing and was GOOD but the bite became way too rich after a couple rolls. It basically was a deep fried rice roll (with some shrimp) with carne asada on top with two types of sauces. It's definitely worth a try, and I'd recommend that you get it to share as an appetizer! The Mar Y Tierra Taco isn't on the menu but it features a generously sized tortilla with melted cheese, shrimp, carne asada, and generous serving of avocado. This taco was really flavorful...I enjoyed it more than the sushi. If you forget the name, just call it the "Instagram Taco" and they'll know...it's featured on their reels alot. Other notes - complimentary chips and salsa were a nice touch...this was very delicious! No liquor license, so they don't serve alcohol yet but it sounded like they will in the future. Service was great, no complaints there. Very limited parking in the lot, but you can find street parking if spaces aren't available. Overall, I'll give it a very solid 4. I enjoyed the food and ambiance enough and if I'm in the area, I would definitely consider eating there again. Not as mind blowing as I thought it would be, the sushi was definitely hyped up quite a bit by foodies on IG, but hey isn't that their job?! I'll be back when they serve beer!

The food here was absolutely divine! The empanadas and the Molcajete are a must order. The owner is extremely kind and welcoming and I overall had a great time. I tried the majority of their Mexican sushi rolls and it was different from anything I have had before. There were many TVs in the area and I would recommend going here for any sports games. They also had a karaoke station which would be fun for weekend nights. Checkout this authentic Mexican place in San Jose! Highlights: EMPANADAS DE CAMARON 4/5 Crispy on the inside with a great cheese pull. Loved the sauce it came with as well! Great choice for an appetizer or side. MOLCAJETE MIXTO 5/5 The sauce on the inside was great and also featured a nice cheese pull. The fish and meat that adorned the sides were high quality and tasty. It was absolutely delicious and tasted great in a tortilla with beans, rice, and sauce provided. Could feed 2 people!

First time coming here a couple of weeks ago. I love how there's plenty of seating inside and plenty of TVs around the restaurant. We went on a Sunday and they had football playing. We ordered from their breakfast menu and got menudo, pozole and caldo en birria. All of these were super flavorful, definitely authentic!! The server was super sweet and everything came out in a timely manner.
