If you're looking for a sports bar with really good food, I recommend this place. The service was great. Food was delicious BUT the street tacos are oily as heck. That's why I'm giving only 4 stars. My niece - who's a little on the pickier side had the enchiladas and scared it down. Oh and a tip- if you want HOT sauce, bring your own. Update- the manager came by and made me new tacos without even being asked! Now that's service

Hey now! What a great spot, awesome food and terrific service! We walked into a great vibe with the 49ers game on TV, the crowd was awesome but the staff really made the difference and we felt like we were at our friends home! The caesar salad with chicken was so good!

My husband and I tried the Fab for a late lunch, and we both really liked the food! My husband ordered the El Pastor pizza, an eight-inch personal pizza. It turned out to be quite filling as the bread is thick and not like the usual pizza bread, but more of a foccacia bread. Besides the pork, the toppings included beans and onions. I had the veggie super quesadilla, and it was quite good, though a little light on the cheese for my liking. We also got a Caesar salad to share, and it was a little heavily dressed, but pretty good. The food quality seemed to be very good. The service was friendly, but we had to wait a long time after we ate to get our to-go boxes and check. Overall, we liked the place and would go back again.

I don't go to downtown SJ every often. Came to the Hammer Theater to see a Mariachi concert. Came across the restaurant by chance. It's across the street, super close to the theater They offer pozole Thursday - Sunday. Most restaurants only serve it up on weekends. I got the quesabirrias. They were so good! You can also get a burger or sandwich, so the menu has a nice variety of choices. Staff was very friendly too.

I visited this place on a Saturday for brunch time with a friend. Although I forgot to take pictures of the food and the setting, I can tell you that the atmosphere is cozy, with tasteful decor. The venue is not very large, but it offers some outdoor seating. It could benefit from more natural lighting, though that's a matter of personal preference. Nevertheless, the staff is very attentive, and the environment is clean and comfortable. The food is flavorful, and the portions are adequate and quite filling. I ordered the breakfast burrito, while my friend chose the veggie breakfast burrito. We both enjoyed the bottomless mimosas, and this is one of the few places where they promptly serve you a new drink as soon as you finish your current one. It's a spot to hang out with friends, catch up, and enjoy good music and a pleasant atmosphere.

Whoah, they were completely packed inside and outside for Sunday lunch, we were lucky to snag an outdoor picnic table as someone was leaving. The inside is louder, sports bar vibes, so I'm glad we got a table outside which was more relaxed. We waited for what seemed like forever for our food, which wasn't surprising given they were completely full. What I really appreciated though was that even though they were swamped, the waitress was super sweet and kept checking in on us and giving us updates on our order status. We got the breakfast burrito, which is mainly eggs, along with a choice of protein. It was good, but could've used some extra ingredients, like beans or a chopped vegetable. The shrimp tacos were WORTH THE WAIT! Oh man, best shrimp tacos I've had in a long time. First of all, loved that the taco was just overflowing with ingredients. I appreciate it when the toppings are so ample they don't stay inside the taco! Choice of flour or corn tortilla, and I loved that even thought it was a soft shell taco, they crisped up the inner lining. The chopped cabbage and avocado added to the texture, there was plenty of shrimp in it. The sauce was divine. 10/10 taco! Despite being a sports bar, they do have a kids menu. The chicken nuggets seemed legit in that they were freshly battered and fried. Grilled cheese was okay though less impressive than the chicken nuggets.
