Our story

From the highlands of Jalisco to Hopyard Road.

Our recipes come from Los Altos de Jalisco, the ranch country northeast of Guadalajara known for slow-cooked carnitas, birria and handmade tortillas. We cook that food the way it's made there, with tradition and care, and serve it to Pleasanton seven days a week.

Come in for a sit-down plate with the family, grab a breakfast burrito on the way to work, or take a tray of tacos to the office. Some days it feels like a neighborhood market stand. Some days it's a celebration. Either way, the food is made from scratch.

Even at its simplest, Mexican food is artful, complex, and irresistible.

Salsa bar

Dial in your heat.

Every order comes with chips and full run of the salsa bar: fresh pico, tomatillo verde, smoky reds, limes, radishes and pickled jalapeños. Mix your own, go back for seconds.

Catering & taco bar

Feed the whole party.

We set up on-site or off-site and serve a full taco bar, hot and fresh, so you can enjoy your own event. One past customer put it simply: tons of food for a very reasonable price.
