“ My children salad was really good, They bring you 3 different Salsas that are also very good. This place is very clean and well run. The service was great and our servers were nice and friendly. Plenty of parking. Inside outside seating nestled in a valley surrounded by beautiful mountains located in the Prunedale. Be prepared to pay a little more than your typical Mexican restaurant... But well worth it! ”

“ Stopped by here on my way back to San Jose, great Mexican food I have to say. Was served chips and salsa right away, then they got my drink order. I got the shrimp tacos for dinein, it came out shortly. Tacos were great, loved the corn tortillas and the chipotle sauce they had to go with it. If I am ever passing by the 831 area, or anyone for that matter, this is a great place to stop by and eat. ”
“ Servers are friendly and food is delicious. Home made tortillas, flour and corn and the huaraches. Chile relleno with Monterey Jack is a must try. The fajitas are juicy and flavorful. They have multiple tvs to watch the game. They have a bar to sit at and order beers and wine. Ive never tried the desert but the churro cart with ice cream are popular. I didnt care for the tacos. They need to double layer them. They also give you chips and salsa for free and the green salsa is delicious. ”
