El Molino De Oro

I really have mixed feelings about this place. It's a hit or miss depending on who is working and how they feel about you. Sometimes they barely give me any guacamole or my taquitoes are not cooked fully crispy. Their guacamole is good when its  a fresh batch in the metal container; when its not, its not. I gave two stars because they usually put a sufficient amount of chicken into their taquitoes and 75% of the time it is good chicken and they don't forget to take the pieces of fat out of it.

HEADS UP: they microwave all of their enchiladas in the microwave, and they put it straight into styrofoam (melting the styrofoam) if you get it to go. They also microwave their mexican fries and many other things.

My grandma over the past year has ordered enchiladas (this is before we knew they microwaved them) and many times, the enchilada has nothing or just a TINY SPECK of cheese inside.

In my opinion, it's gone down in quality and it's not that good anymore. Especially when you realize that they microwave their food in front of everyone (the microwave is on the far left when you walk in. watch for them microwaving the food).

I'm not exaggerating on any of this, especially for the microwaving food--go see for yourself.

I'm picky when it comes to mexican food, because my grandma who is mexican makes BOMB mexican food. The only mexican food place that is good enough for my standards is in San diego (it was on the food network too).

This is my go to spot inSJC for Mexican food. I always get the carne asada tacos and a side of guacamole with chips, great authentic flavor at a great price, they also have mini burritos that the kids love for a buck! If you are hungry for good Mexican you won't be let down.

This place offers great food at great prices.  They have wonderful Potato Tacos that are 2 for $1.00.  Their beans are to die for.  The Carnitas Quesadilla is excellent.  They also have a bakery with wonderful pan dulce.  Definately need to check this place out.  And once there you have to try their agua fresca!  Highly recommend this place, the food and the service.
