★★★★★ 5.0 Vernice Gamboa · Mar 2026

Just across DMV, we had lunch here. The Churros and Horchata are a must try! They are the best I have tried so far, from all other places. We also ordered shrimp burrito and quesadilla with steak which were both of big proportions and tasted good for the price. Service was great and fast, they were all accomodating. Good ambience as well. Definitely will recommend this! ⭐️

Delicious food! We had the carnitas burrito and carnitas plate — both were full of flavor and big portions. A little on the expensive side, but worth it. Friendly service and we’ll be back!

Very delicious street tacos, salsa was on point and waitress super sweet and attentive. Got our food within 10 minutes. Highly recommended.

We ran into one of our favorite restaurant owners. Jesse, former owner of Casa Teresa. we stopped by his restaurant in Los Gatos called La Esquina Mexican, located across the street from the Los Gatos DMV. The food was great. The atmosphere was nice and his coworker Melissa was a very nice person and very attentive. It was fun to catch up and talk about old times. If you have a chance, I encourage you to stop in and say hi and have bite to eat.

Well, this was disappointing. I used to live in Los Gatos and I’d always wanted to stop into this one because Andale’s was closer to me. Also I always want to support a mom and pop place so after a visit to the DMV I convinced my son to stop in. Hesitantly my son agreed because it was a 4.1 stars and he was sure it was going to be bad. We were hungry so I said even if we just have a taco and bean dip and depending on what’s on the menu. Still we were scared so we didn’t want to order too much. We split an enchiladas Suizas, He didn’t stop and properly greet us like you would expect an acquaint mom and Pop kind of place. I spoke Spanish to him so I don’t think it’s because he was uncomfortable then he side eyed me when I told him we were going to split an order. He seemed to be in a huge hu
