El Michoacano

Food and service very good like home made

Delicious food and lovely service. We will come back again and again. We had a shrimp burrito and caldo do rez. Just perfect! Corn tortillas were homemade.

First time here. Excellent service. Our waitress had great customer service. Food was very good and had large portions. We had the flautas and a shrimp super burrito. We recommend and will be back.

Food was so good! I recommend the shrimp tacos and/or the fries!

First time coming there, and wow!!! The food was just beyond my expectations. My daughter had an asada burrito, let just say I uave NEVER seen her eat like that! I had camarones ala diabla sooo good! And we had some micheladas. Love it definitely coming there next time we visit hollister.

New to Hollister and wanted to stop for some food. My boyfriend and I were warmly welcomed and were provided amazing service. Prices are very reasonable and food is delicious. Truly recommend this place to eat. Also, the inside is so cute and creative.

They have the best carnitas burrito! I always call on my way home for pick up and the staff is always so kind. Definitely one of our favorite places.

This was wonderful experience. I brought my mother and my older brother. We had a family event at this restaurant. Food is fantastic! Servers are very friendly. Would definitely highly recommend to any who want good food, good atmosphere and friendly service.

Good size portion of food, waitress they are gentle ,cozy place,clean installations and price a little bit spesive but acceptable overall good quality service .

This place never disappoints. Their food is delicious, I didn't give them 5 stars only because we waited awhile to get our drinks and order our food and they weren't even busy.

Food is great and the atmosphere is phenomenal. Only downside is that it can get too packed and can barely walk by to get around. If they work on expanding there location then it will be perfect with all the extra space they will have.

Great place food really good

The food was amazing! Only three breakfast options, and they're great! Haven't tried the seafood, but everyone around us did, and it looks awesome! Going back soon!

Great food, great drinks, good service. The only reason not getting 5 stars is because place is so small. Prices are worth the food and service. Very recomended. Go early or late to get good table

My only complaint is they do not offer wine and margaritas don't have real tequila but agave wine. So they could easily offer wine.

This was our first time here. My husband had Beefsteak Ranchero and I had chicken enchiladas. He said that his dish was hands down, the best steak Ranchero that he's ever had. It was made with skirt steak and the sauce had a lot of rich flavor. My chicken enchiladas were average. First, they weren't hot. It seemed like they had sat for several minutes before being served. There was a good amount of chicken and the sauce was fine. Both dishes, especially the enchiladas, were overpriced, in my opinion. Prices in Silicon Valley are $3-$5 less for each of these entrees. We didn't order margaritas because they were $17 each.

Not a bad place, but way overpriced for the quality of food you get. I had the burrito ahogado plate with Chile verde. The meat was really good as well as the rice, but the beans had no salt or much flavor at all, the green tomatillo sauce they used was VERY salty and tasted like that one you buy at "Smart and Final" with added salt and the guac was not impressive. I will say, however, the Chavelas were really good as well as the salsa that they provided with the chips (the salsa did lack a little salt, but the chips compensated that, and it wasn't very spicy). Overall, not too impressed, but if I'm invited there I would go. I would definitely go for a drink, though.

We have been here multiple times, the food here is decent, prices are ok. I actually went to the Gilroy location first and loved it but every place is different. Came here today because my honey wanted menudo. I got the shrimp enchiladas since I had never had shrimp enchiladas before. The sauce was good but I was not impressed by what was inside. The shrimp were cocktail shrimps chopped up, it had no flavor whatsoever. My beans had black specks and tasted burnt. The rice was good, though. The menudo was just ok. It had 2 big bones and so much fat, my boyfriend ended up taking half the contents out which was very disappointing. The salsa was bland, we added salt to enhance the flavor but it didn't matter since it had no spice to it whatsoever, I like to burn my mouth a little, make my nose runny, make me sweat when I eat salsa. Social distancing? Not here, we were basically rubbing elbows with the family seated next to our table. The service is also just ok.

Second time they have left out the corn tortillas with my fajita order, not sure if they were overwhelmed or not but it’s getting annoying.. but I don’t feel my $23 meal was worth it. Do they have tortillas to make their tacos?

The reason why I gave a poor atmosphere we went in and it was freezing the air condition was on cuz I could feel it blowing I asked her if she could turn it off and she said it was coming from the outside and it wasn't I would not eat there again while I was there everybody was ordering coffee that's how cold it was in there

I think they were very short staffed. Food trickled out VERY slow with long waits between. Some things were wrong and it became apparent that one plate just wasn't coming so we had to ask about it and it had to be made when some were already about finished eating. Food was ok.

Was looking forward to eat here since I herd good things, but my experience wasn't the best. I order I deep fried fish. The rice, an beans where cold upon arrival, and the fish wasn't fully cooked. The service was very poor, and for the price of the whole dinner wasn't worth what we ate, and were treated to.

My family and I have dined at this place, in the past. This time the credit card reader was having issues. The receipt printed declined. My account stated processing and deduction from balance. I feel Martha the manger could of handle the situation more professionally. By not making a scene, and conversing with the patrons about the situation. I offered different options, but she didn't take charge as a Manager. I hope her boss she's this and reaches out to me, because I really liked this place 🙄

My wife and my lunch were below avg..fish tacos were over cooked and dry and shrimp dish she has was overly cooked and spices .

Food was great but the service was not. The wait served another table prior to serving us even though we were there 15 min before and she had already taken our order. We even ordered the same plates.

We used to come here all the time for the best burritos in town. Recently, quality, and consistency have not been what they should. The last time we went, we each got a super burrito, one chicken and one chile verde. One was half the size of the other, both fell apart and both had corn, carrots, and lima beans? No thanks. Well go back when they straighten out the kitchen situation.

Wasn't a fan, food not up to par for price. Big drink menu, food not impressive. Can't recommend any dish.

I should have said something just wasn’t in the mood to complain... it wasn’t bad or gross it’s just lacked flavor. We tried adding 3 of their Chile salsa but nothing was working. The salsas had a vinegary flavor to them no spice at all. Bland flavor and when the ticket came we were more dissatisfied, 🤷🏻‍♀️ What could have been done. Carnitas taste like wood, sopes no bueno. Why do restaurants pack on the lettuce? people don’t eat lettuce especially iceberg, give me more beans or rice it’s not expensive. My granddaughters Aguachiles were great ... the plates and food looked delicious but that was it.

my Birria taco plate was $26 and didnt even come with rice and beans!! These tacos sucked also, the meat just wasnt good at all. If you are thinking of getting the Quesobirria plate this is it 🤡

Food was not bad but not good..,Payed for scramble eggs with added vegetables-one drink and she added a guacamole and that was rounded up to $41.75 ..JUST ME EATING.! I I thought I had a T-bone stake..🤣🤪

Service was good but the food was not so great. Well at least what I order . I ordered 2 tacos and a drink and that later gave me heartburn and nausea. A friend of mine got enchiladas and they were not good either.

I love the salsa. But the menudo was so bad . The tripe was hard and under cooked. Absolutely no flavor. I am a culinary trained chef, And I try out the local restaurant all up and down the west coast. I’ve had Menudo everywhere And El Michoacano is the worst. I’m sorry. Maybe you’re having a bad day but it was a nasty no flavor no spices.

My family and I went to go eat here last night and this place is so over priced and the food isn't that great. I ordered my daughter a cheese quesadilla that was $5.99 with beans rice on the side. They charged me $2.99 each for the beans and rice, which was literally a scoop each. So just for my daughter's plate was about $12.. They're "Mexican rice" has no color or flavor to it. I will never go back here again. I spent $56 just for a wet burrito, my daughter's plat, my vegetarian burrito, 2 drinks and a michelada.

The good thing about this place is the waitress other than. That sucks food seems to be sitting there for a while and the tables are nasty I don't recommend this place at all

Food used to be good, but now it's just disgusting..chicken was old. So dissatisfied. Went yesterday and I will never go back what a waste of money

The molcajete de mariscos tasted like tomato sause and so did the enchiladas michoacanas. We were very disappointed with the food, it was definitely not authentic.
