Ordered the burrito and half way thru the meal bit into a chewy something that turned out to be a large elastic hair tie! The waitress apologized, but didn't offer to replace the meal, ask if I wanted something else or even clear the plate. I made it clear I couldn't take another bite of the burrito. She walked away and later came back to ask if we were ready for the bill. Someone from the kitchen came out and also apologized, said the kitchen had no idea how it happened, explained that all kinds of strange things are happening there, and that the place is "haunted."

Read moreThis place is a sleeper hit in the Saratoga area. This family owned and operated, Mexican inspired diner is one of my absolute favorite places to eat in the area.

The tacos are killer and their home made salsas that come with their Mexican dishes are SO good. Someone at a table next to me just asked if they could buy a bottle. The staff are so friendly and the place is quiet and cozy. It's not that fanciest looking place but it feels like a friendly local joint with great food. I've come here 4 times now and they never miss. I love this place and they deserve way more attention. Definitely try it out!...

Their food is authentic, fresh, flavorful and their American options are true to form as expected. Try the breakfast burrito - it’s large enough to share. Put the red sauce on it. A little spicy, a little Smokey. It’s GOOD! For something extra special get the Sopes! They’re naturally gluten free for whoever cares but for me, they’re delicious hand made open face corn dumplings with cheese, beans, quest fresco, tomatoes, lettuce, sour cream, avocado, and whatever meat you like (I got steak). Damn delicious!...
