El Michoacano Restaurant - Mexican restaurant in Gilroy - 6966 Chestnut St, USA

Haven't been here in a while. It's changed a lot. They bought out the location next to them and have doubled their space. Location: 4/5 Decor:5/5 Cleanliness 4/5 Food: 5/5 I ordered the burrito special (see the picture). It was a pastor burrito with a side of rice, beans, and salad. It was reasonably priced, and the wait time was low. Overall, I went on a slow dayl (Wednesday) it was a good experience, slow wait , fast service, and good food.

I have eaten here since 2019 and I have seen them grow, make improvements and just become a great place to have some amazing food and atmosphere. Some of my favorite items are the tacos, fajitas and margaritas! Take out orders can be a little slow and service for dine in can be a little iffy, but with a drink in hand I don't mind waiting. This place had great music and I do believe they have Mariachis on Friday evening! Tons of free parking. This place is great for big parties and date night!

Overall I would say it's a 3* Food is somewhat reasonably priced, however drinks are over priced and please note they don't use real tequila; it's a tequila wine. We got a 4 drink flight for $70+. Service was good, until they forgot about us completely. Took more than 30 minutes to pay and it was Not a super busy night.

What a wonderful experience I felt whisked away to Mexico with this authentic adventure of wonderful Mexican food that is so tasty and good. This place is huge and has drinks with lights that h Fb one in enclosed lanterns filled with smoke! Not joking this place is legit! I had the mixed fajitas with a margarita and it didn’t disappoint. The service was really good too, our waitress was always checking in on us and making sure we were having the time of our lives. This place has huge murals on the walls and party lights so we only came for lunch but this place looks like it gets down at nighttime! Gotta come back and get a bucket of beers, definitely the closest thing to actual Mexico that I’ve ever experienced!

First time here and can safely say they have authentic Michoacano Mexican food. The atmosphere is very cool with street art, indoor/outdoor seating, and many decorative aspects like lanterns, etc. The service is friendly and welcoming. The food is served hot and delicious. Tortillas taste homemade and flavors of their dishes well balanced. I highly recommend the shrimp diablo if you love spicy food! The cocktails and ceviche looked soo good, and the fish looked fresh. This place has quite a bit of charm it's definitely a little gem tucked in the corner of a shopping center. Would definitely return for more. Prices were very fair for the food quality.

A change of pace Mexican restaurant. Not the same old, same old. Visited during dinner time on a Sunday. Was seated quickly and promptly brought drinks. Lots of flashy presentation for the cocktails but they were a bit underwhelming. Strawberry margarita was way too sweet. The piña colada was cool and ok. Friend mentioned they liked the jalapeño margarita so I may try that next time. Horchata was good. Good took a while and was brought out one at a time instead of as a group for the table. Sopes we’re a bit on the small side for the price. Think bite-sized. Good flavors. Burrito was good. Nothing stood out though, which isn’t bad either. Note regarding service. Our waitress was attentive but very busy and tough to find at times. Thankfully, other waitresses were readily available and very helpful. It’s a spot I’d probably return with friends to try the cocktails or for some mariachi but there’s better options for traditional Mexican food.

Highly recommend the Molcajete Mal y Tierra. Plenty of food and favor.

Worse customer service ever! Had chilaquiles with scrambled eggs.. Requested an over easy egg since waitress was not specific. One egg was charged at $5.99 . Manager was useless 😒
