Best Contemporary Mexican Restaurants in San Jose

Thank you so much for making my birthday dinner so wonderful. Such great vibes. Amanda was wonderful. The food was great as always. And the team was so accommodating with my grandmother’s needs.

Great find in midtown. The food was XCLNT! We tried their birria pizzaola, their take on pizza/quesadilla. It was loaded with savory beef birria and cheese. One is enough to share. The other dish was their carne de jugo which is stew with pinto beans, beef, green onions , and jalapeño. This dish was so tasty. Again enough to share. Their portions were substantial. They have an extensive cocktail selection. Tried their mangodanita, a mango margarita seasoned with tahini and choya. Fruit forward drink with tangy overnotes. Overall good value. Will return again.

The night we went, the restaurant was practically empty! Only a couple of other diners. The service was good and our server was friendly and helpful. We had the Pollo en Tinga (chicken Tinga )tostadas and the Coctel de Camaron (shrimp) tostadas. They were piled high and were delicious. The shrimp ones were a bit too spicy for me, but I enjoyed having the cucumber in it to cool down my mouth. All is all a great meal.

The food and service was great but the live band and the music in between was very loud and made ordering near impossible. I had to point at every item I wanted because the server could not hear me or vise versa.
