“ The LOTERIA plate is my favorite! Can't go wrong with having one of each in one plate! Taco de canasta, taco dorado, taco de Barbacoa, mini torta ahogada! ”
“ The best tortas ahogadas around the bay area. I had my order to-go and enjoyed it at home, it worth the trip from Gilroy to San Jose every time! ”
“ Super authentic food! Great service! Highly recommended! ”
“ Bit expensive but what place isn’t now a days I’d recommend the canasta tacos de papa and chicken tacos definitely a 10/10 they have a really thick green guac sauce that adds even more flavor with the red onions , I liked the attentiveness from one of their employees she noticed me and my wife had got our food and we’re waiting to eat because our kids and my mother hadn’t so she stopped from her break to inform them to check on our order really appreciate that since we like to pray over our food before eating all together, I will say this tho the drinks weren’t the best and that’s just my honest opinion but we were here for the bomb tacos not drinks ”
“ Finally, last Saturday, I had the chance to try this place for the first time. I ENJOYED every bite of my food, the services, the accommodations, and the atmosphere. It is an authentic Mexican place: You can see the kitchen and how they are prepared the food from scratch, you can smell those familiar aromas, and there is a salsa station (with lemons, onions, and cilantro included), and of course, the handmade tortilla station. The menu has something for everyone, plenty of vegetarian options, and the Aguas Frescas are delicious! For lunch, I had: - Tacos dorados (requeson and potato) - Tacos de Barbacoa (it comes with broth and double tortilla) - Strawberry agua fresca - All the salsas!!! Worth the driving! ”
