My wife and I had a wonderful dinner here on a Saturday evening, and we’re already planning our next visit to try out all the other amazing dishes! Jeremy was our server, and he was absolutely fantastic—so attentive, professional, and a huge bonus was how often he refilled our water glasses (we drank a lot!) We had the chicharron dumplings were tasty. My wife had the shrimp and chorizo tacos and they were one of the best tacos she’s had. I had the ribeye and add an amazing flavor and it paired well with the potatoes. The churros were well made crispy and outside and soft in the inside.
Absolutely loved my dinner at Pre-Hispanic Mexican Cuisine in Morgan Hill! We went on a quiet Tuesday night, and even though the place was almost empty, the cozy atmosphere made it feel welcoming and intimate, perfect for a relaxed meal. The star of the show was the Cochinita Pibil (Yucatán-style braised pork)…it was fall-off-the-bone tender, bursting with rich, authentic flavors from the traditional marinade. The tacos and potatoes we tried had incredible depth of flavor too; definitely not your standard fare, in the best way. Portions were generous, and the presentation was gorgeous; everything looked as good as it tasted. The staff was super friendly and attentive—they kept our drinks refilled without hovering. Desserts were solid: churros hit the spot, though the flan was a bit lumpy.
We’re so glad we chose this spot for our Saturday breakfast! Every dish we ordered was outstanding. Even the hash browns were a standout, perfectly crispy on the outside and tender inside. Our notoriously picky eater cleaned his plate and even asked for seconds! The French toast was heavenly, and the traditional Mexican coffee was rich and flavorful..truly a treat. We enjoyed our meal on the dog-friendly patio, where the service was warm and attentive. There’s even more seating in the charming side garden, and everything from the tables to the chairs was spotless. Generous portions, fair prices, and a welcoming atmosphere. We will definitely be back!
This was our first time here. I ordered the cochinita pibil cazuela and my husband the 2 taco (shrimp & mahi mahi) The quality was excellent and light. I like to taste the flavors of the food without many salsas. The cazuela was just perfect. Service was also excellent! We will definitely be back to try other dishes.
Went here for lunch. Parking can be a bit difficult to find. There are a few parking structures nearby. We found a table without wait. Our server was friendly. The order came out fairly quickly. Kids loved the chicken tacos. I especially liked the fish burrito which was more of a custom request. They modified the chicken burrito and substituted the chicken for fish. Papas Bravas was also a pleasant surprise. Potatoes were crunchy on the outside. The veggie tacos were also good. Overall we really like the food, ambiance and the service.
