It is a small place with a quiet atmosphere. I went there just to try Leo's Michelada's and they were better than I expected! Micheladas have a unique flavor and aguachile is delicious. The other food is very good as well.

I had some menudo it was excellent even though I had to get a loan from one of my siblings. Tortillas for handmade fresh and the veggies were fantastic. Service was second to no one. If you could get over the music being a little bit loud you'll be okay but definitely if you're going for food you will not be disappointed.

Pretty great Mexican food, I'll be back for sure but the place is very small so max 4 people to a table and only 3 of those tables, so timing is everything. I went at 3pm on Sunday and every table was full.

Food was delicious! We tried the enchilada platter. Enchiladas were cooked traditional mexican style so the tortilla had a slight crispness. So good! Beans and rice we're also very tasty with a nice salad on the side which included sliced avocado. The only downside was a group of customers without masks. Server should have refused service since they were also endangering other customers who cared about keeping others safe including this essential worker! I hope the owner reads this and empowers the workers to set boundaries and protect themselves and other customers!

4.2/10 I am really disappointed with the food. The meat is really dry and chewy, rice has no flavor, beans taste like mush. The best thing about the burrito is probably the onions and cilantro. Even the green sauce is watered down and couldn't save the taste of the burrito. It was ok size, but this is the WORST burrito I've had. I always try a restaurant twice if it's that bad, just to give a fair review, but for now, this is the worst burrito I've had in San Jose or anywhere else

La comida no es tan mala pero el servicio es pesimo. No complains about the food, but their costumer service is awful. They take forever to complete food orders.

Almost threw it away. Ordered a super burrito—meat was bad…no pico de gallo—rice, beans, unripe avocado and a long wait. Restaurant was empty.

Was very disappointed with the food. Ordered Camarones ala Diabla and sauce was made from ketchup and not spicy at all. My daughter ordered the menudo, and it was bland. Don't think I'll be going back. Sad as this restaurant was close to home and have been coming here for years. And... way overpriced for food that i did not enjoy. Spent $75, including tip.

Marie Steinbach

The lights were turned down, the waitress seemed a bit annoyed that we had to audacity to ask for a few minutes before we ordered because we were waiting for our son. The food....never again. The Chile Verde had bones in it; I've never had it with bones before. The meat tasted like it had been cooked in rancid oil. I'm really not trying to be mean, however, our meal was nearly $80 and I left a good tip because I understand that there are "off" days.

If I can give a negative review to this place I would… I just ordered tortillas hecho a mano to go and the Stupid so called waitress Margarita that’s the name on the receipt who doesn’t know basic math or have any customer service, and has a really bad attitude charged me an additional $12.48 credit card service fee because l used my credit card and not cash, why would anyone want to eat there and get penalized for using their credit card.. so beware and bring your cash because if you use your credit card you will be charged credit card service fee and it is not cheap.. I do not recommend this place.

Two different taquerias. El Cerrito ll and El Cerrito taqueria and cenaduria. Thia one is just el Cerrito ll .One good is the other not so good. This place had Poor service and food was not good. I almost posed this to other taqueria. With the same name. Im Pretty sure people are getting confused on which one is which because this place is not small and the food was defiantly not good . Plus the orange sign and menu is not theres is the other places. So don't trust all the reviews here due to the name confusion. For example the review before this from Lan Khuk one was for the other place not this place.

I'm very disappointed with them I ordered Chile Colorado Plate and it had a very weird smell like it was spoiled . Their mole was actually SPOILEd . I try to let them know and the lady their said there's nothing wrong with the mole and that's how it supposed to smell. I sure know that it's not supposed to mell like that it Really Smelled BAD. As I was at the counter talking to the lady at the register a Man walked in a said what is that smell he heard my conversation with the lady and said oh no I'm not going to get my family eat spoiled food and walked out this is the resteraunt on White and NO I did not eat it I threw it away I did not want to get sick I Never Smelled Chile Colorado like that .maybe it was just a Bad Day Rd and McKee Rd San Jose

I wish I could give this restaurant 0 stars. Came here with my family, I drove around for awhile looking for which taco stand I would try on story and I forgot I didn’t have cash. I became frustrated and stopped here, I heard this place had decent Mexican food from a family member. I honestly was going to leave as soon as I walked in because they had no A/C, this was 90 degree day, and believe it or not it was hotter in there. We sat down and stuck around mainly because they had a DJ which was not to bad, there was one waitress on a Friday evening, 2nd huge red flag. And she was bartending at the same time, that is cheap. She brought us water which had debris, stuff in there, 3rd red flag. I ask for another water after she saw my trying to dig the stuff out of my water, I did it more as a sign of disgust. Still We were hungry and want to try the food. We ordered. And waited, And waited, and waited almost 30 minutes for a burrito and carne asada fries, The heat got to me and asked for it to go, we waited, after 5 minutes of waiting, I was fed up, and wanted a refund. She had the audacity to give me 1.50 less than what I paid, she said it was a 4% credit card fee 🤦🏽‍♂️ I told her I wanted the full amount that was charged since we did not eat there. This is honestly one of the worst experiences Ive had at a restaurant. They totally deserve to go out of business.
