Una Mas — Restaurant in Santa Clara

Actually 2.5 stars rounded up. I used to come to this store frequently when I lived nearby. With so many of their other locations closing, I find myself returning to my old location.

They used to be dependably good (not great) but if it’s what you wanted, you got it. I like the grilled veggie burrito and my SO the tortilla soup. Free chips with every order is a nice bonus.

When the pandemic hit, the salsa bar understandably went away. Now after nearly every other restaurant has returned to normal, their salsa bar has not. You could maybe ask for limes, jalapeños, pico de gallo, etc., if you’re there in person but there’s no way to do it when ordering online. Kind of drag.

What confirms their downturn to me is they have replaced the steak that used to be available in the margarita salad with flat, uniform strips of seemingly processed beef. While their erstwhile carne asada was often overcooked, it was recognizable as meat.

So as long as my favorite menu items stay the way I like them, I will probably be coming back when the mood strikes. It just wouldn’t shock me if it...

Honestly it’s kinda weird. First, the salsa tastes like spaghetti sauce. Second they don’t allow refills on drinks even though the fountain is located in the dining area.

I ordered carne asada fries, but somehow this super basic thing was super disappointing. It’s not that the staff was bad or anything, everything was cooked right, but how can you go wrong mixing meat cheese onion cilantro and fries? Should be a slam dunk but somehow it isn’t.

As a Mexican food lover, this almost feels bad to say, but I would take Taco Bell over this place any day.

No beef with the staff they were actually chill. More of a public service announcement. All the reviews ranting and raving about how great it is… I feel sorry for you. Please contact me personally and I will take you somewhere good so you know what you’re talking about.

This isn’t a red salsa vs. tomatillo salsa debate, the food is just...

Second attempt to leave a review ... I come in to this location of Una Mas from time to time for Takeout. *They have a few tasty items suitable for Vegetarians. 👉 What I really don't like 👉is having a series of pointed personal questions gunned at me by the cook who also works the front counter. 👉It's Extremely Creepy & Completely Inappropriate & management needs to Clue this guy in, ASAP! Even more offensive: I left a decent tip when I paid for the takeout -- before the interrogation started (after which, I waited in my vehicle). Please, Management, it's 2023; Clue Your Staff In at this location,...
