What customers say?

“ First, let me say I loved it! Secondly, parking was a bit sketch, until I realized the lot is horseshoe shaped. I wound up parking my truck up on the hill facing the road and there was plenty of space for a car to pull in behind me. When we entered we were greated warmly by the front of the house staff and the bartender. We were informed that we would be ordering at the counter whether we sat first and looked at the menu, or ordered right then. Once we ordered, the food came out in no time at all. Piping hot and so delicious! The salsa bar was well stocked with all the things I needed to top my street tacos. I had de lengua and carnitas. The meat was tender, flavorful and they don't skimp on the portion size. We were also there to celebrate our daughter's 22nd birthday and they made it so special ! Did a whole birthday thing for her, it was great. Overall the vibe is very chill, the people are amazing and I can't wait to go back! ”

“ We love the food and atmosphere here! We take our Grandson who is 8, he loves the kids taco meal and afterward we feed the ducks, turtles or fish. You can sit in or outside, weather permitting and we love both! ”

- Frances Phillips -

“ This place is perfect!! We stopped here while we were in town for a wedding, and were very impressed. From the time we entered the door, very friendly and great customer service. Then the views out the window were amazing. And then the food was great. So yeah, just go. You won’t be disappointed. 5 Stars!!! ”

“ We celebrated our son’s 18th birthday dinner this evening and I must say the food and service was AMAZING! The food was fresh and flavorful. They accommodated a group of 20 with no issues, Highly recommend! ”

“ Awesome place to pull up to off the boat. Fresh salsa makes you feel better after a day in the sun. You order at the window and the food comes out very quickly. You can tell they cook much of the meats in house, the chorizo is wonderfully full of flavor with some fruity tones. The beef tips are rich and the salsa bar lets you pick your extra toppings and salsa as you see fit. Definetly the best of San Jose’s I’ve been to. ”

“ Ok let’s gooo!!! Oh lord!! First off! Who eats massive food, then goes out on big water??? First thought here hehe! Cuz, yall know sooner or later them hot tamales gonna get ya! Food - it’s to be said you do not get seated then order. Order soon as you walk in. You can take menus to whatever seat you want booze, i mean choose . They have a salsa bar!!! We got Mexican steak tacos and they were on point. Another thing to be said is as you have access to the salsa and condiments bar, you can make your taco whatever you want!! Hey yooo!! Service - what service right? In all reality you order yourself, you make your own taco and you are the one doing all the work. So plus here is no tip needed. Atmosphere- they are trying! Although the wait staff has been clearly parsed down due to lack of necessity they are still very kind and helpful in directing you on how to make your on food, previously prepared. All in all I would say as a local the personable atmosphere is less than desirable. Get in, get out. Work for yourself Walmart self check out style. They just dont have the kiosks for self order yet. Sorry not sorry. Great food robot style. No job expansion here. #beaweaomebeepic ”

“ Jose and Karina took great care of us. The food is amazing, just as expected from San Jose, and the atmosphere was awesome! We will definitely be back. We love how you can order online, call in, and order at the bar and then sit and enjoy either inside or outside by the lake! ”
