Very friendly staff and the food was excellent. The table next to us asked for spicy guacamole and were told it's not spicy, but they asked if the chef could make it spicy, make it hurt. Their server smiled and said she would ask. She brought them some guac and I didn't hear any complaints, so I guess it was to their liking.

Delicious classic Mexican-American food, served in a very cute Castro street diner. 🤤 It was my first time so I just opted for some tacos, but I kinda regret not getting an enchilada or mole cause even the sides were well seasoned. Portions are large, prices are a bit high, but it's Castro street. I can't wait to go back again.

Not much crowd on Saturday night. I liked it. The atmosphere was nice with good decor. The staff was excellent, serving us with no problem. The food was also excellent, good mexican food. I had the enchiladas, good sauce with vegetables. We also had burrito, nachos they were very tasty and had good flavor. You should try if you like mexican food. Maybe come early to see some people around.

The place has a nicely curated decor. Excellent margaritas! They were really strong. Tried something different with Chicken mole that was chicken with a spicy and nutty chocolate sauce on top. Didn't like that combo😂.This one's for the brave folks.

This is a bold Mexican-American restaurant that's situated in an excellent spot. They're known for offering complimentary tortilla chips and salsa, which is a lovely touch. The drinks here, particularly the margaritas, are potent and delicious. They have an outdoor seating area that's charming and comfortable - a nice place to relax. When it comes to food, I often opt for the carne asada burrito. This dish is pretty big, with generous amounts of beef, rice, and beans packed inside. The accompanying sauce is spicy and might surprise you with its heat, but it's really flavorful and adds a great taste to the burrito. This restaurant stands out as one of the better sit-down Mexican eateries in Northern California. However, if you're hoping to find traditional, homestyle Mexican cuisine here, you might feel let down. The food here is more Mexican-style with a distinct American twist. It seems designed to suit American taste preferences and it does a good job in that regard. It's important to approach this place with the right expectations. Don't come searching for the authentic rustic flavors of Mexican food because that's not their specialty. What they do best is serve up Mexican dishes that Americans enjoy. So, if you're in the mood for some good Mexican-American food and strong margaritas, this is a great place to check out.

This place is a hidden gem. Nice, quiet and a little away from the main part of Castro Street. The food was good but what made me give it 5 stars was the ambience and the service. It seems like a family run business and the servers are so warm. There's always a lot of options at Mexican restaurants but the servers will help you through it and also help with customizations. The restaurant interiors are really beautiful with pretty collectibles. I got the Shrimp Burrito with an extra serving of chicken - 4/5 it was decent nothing out of the ordinary but tastes good. A little too much cheese for me. They serve salsa and chips which were really tasty. Overall I would not mind going here again just for the ambience and a nice quiet dinner.

I. LOVE. THIS. PLACE.!!!! This is a cozy little restaurant that is festively decorated and the ambience is that of happy diners.The food is always fresh & hot & delicious! It's never too spicy. It's always just right. I'm getting hungry now (9:15 a.m.) just thinking about it. The two ladies who work here, Myra & Sabrina, should own this place! They're always here, like owners & care about their customers. They're friendly & they get your order right, no matter how picky you might be. Plus, they've been doing it such a long time, they have a good rhythm together and are just as efficient when it's super busy or when it happens to be a slow time. Besides the food, these two ladies are what makes the restaurant as great as it is! They have indoor and outdoor seating, and if it happens to be cold outside, they have a propane heater outside to warm you up. If you happen to find yourself in Mountain View and are wanting a good Mexican meal, this is the place you should go!

This was a recommendation by a friend and it was really very good. After the meal I've been craving for Mexican food ever since. The service is quick and friendly. This looks like a popular place because after we left and the place that closed for the afternoon there were groups of people coming by to see if it was still open

Rather regular american-mexican food. They keep bringing out the chips which are fine - not oily but not yummy either. The salsa were ok too. Similarly the guac dip is fine but no oomph in there. The place is nice and simple. Sun comes thru during the day and that felt great. Just one restroom that can make it slow/busy.

The menu lists Mexican dishes, but the food tastes like it was made by an Italian chef. Certain normal Mexican spices are missing, there's a lot of tomato, etc. It all tasted great, if a little "meh". I guess I just expected a little more (Mexican) flavor/spice to the food ... especially since the meal wasn't exactly cheap. Also they NEED to fix their door to close on its own. 1/3rd the restaurant is near the door (it's a small place), and every time anyone enters or leaves, the door hangs open, and you freeze.

Great spot to host a large gathering for lunch. We had 8 people outside which they were easily able to accommodate in advance on a Friday for lunch. For the main dish I ordered the shrimp enchiladas which were good but nothing exceptional. Didn't really have the flavor punch I was expecting. Some of my co-workers ordered the fajitas which were served on a sizzling plate with an absolutely amazing smell. Much larger portions as well which is what I recommend if you're coming here. The desserts here are top notch and every one of them is delicious and you can't go wrong with any of them.

I just had the WORST restaurant meal I've had in recent memory, and we eat out a lot. I mean, it was so bad. We ordered the sampler appetizer platter, which was basically just a lot of cheese. Zero flavor on the other items. It came on a hot plate with two hot cucumber spears (yum yum) with their 'ranch' dressing, which made me think they opened an industrial-sized can of ranch dressing and tried to figure out how to extend it and make it worse. The appetizer plate would have been unremarkable if the entree had been any good. I ordered the special Lupe "salad" with Salmon. OMG. The so-called salad was a big, round plate full of shredded head lettuce -- much of it tinged with age, along with some mixed spring greens thrown in. I had to pick out big chunks of BAD gross, disgusting, wilted lettuce leaves. Not one, half a dozen. Then, to call it a 'salad,' they added a single unripe tomato slice cut in quarters and a few slices of old cucumber with bruising, and none of it tasted remotely fresh -- because it wasn't! That was the "salad." The salmon filet thrown on top -- while cooked to a good edible state, had absolutely ZERO SEASONING. Nothing. Nada. Oh, and we unfortunately ordered the whole meal before getting the appetizer, so I got more terrible 'ranch' dressing on the "salad." What an embarrassment of a meal to offer a customer. I really don't like leaving bad reviews, but that meal was just inexcusably awful.
