    Awesome little Mexican place in San Jose. The pumpkin seed salsa from chips w/ 3 salsas, veggie tacos & hibiscus margaritas all top notch. My desert was awesome too. A+.

    The CHORIZO Y MOLE NEGRO was great! I thought the price was steep but out came 2 tortillas piled so high I needed a knife and fork to eat them! I left happy and full so I highly recommend this dish.

    A cozy boutique restaurant located on a very busy street, The Alameda. The food fails to validate its pricing, however they do an excellent job with their food and drink presentation.

    The food and service were exceptional! My nephew and I split the quesadilla and shrimp tacos and they were delicious. We will definitely be back soon!

    Impressive modern take on Mexican classics. Try tacos with scallops or spare ribs.

    Ordered the blue corn quesadilla scramble which came without avacado, Chile Verde and it was not a scramble. When I asked, they brought it on the side and they shaped it like a quesadilla (See photo)

    Tacos are not a large portion so beware, the enchiladas looked delicious though. Make sure you get the guacamole with all the stuff on top

    Psst! Splurge for the guacamole topped with crisp bacon and pistachios ($9). It's worth it. The carne asada ($18.50) is amazing. Read more

    Excellent food, real Mexican taste. Try the enchiladas. Don't ask for a Chavela with "Lagunita" beer, not good.

    Great tasting food, however the portions are extremely small for the high cost they charge for it. First and last visit to Zona Rosa.
