    Nice place! Good food, friendly staff, excellent people-watching opportunities. I'm a fan, especially if you can avoid the crush of peak hours.

    Ask for pescado with no rice and beans just vegetables. This is both very tasty and healthy!

    Order baja fish tacos for lunch... Not on the menu, they are delicious. Lightly battered and flash fried cod fish with cabbage, avocado, cream and lime. Yum!

    This place is amazing, and it would be perfect if they started making their own chips.

    Truly the BEST Mexican food in Silicon Valley ever and Louis Gray approved! The California Enchilada with Pork was simply scrumptious.
