Andale

A decent Mexican place in Los Gatos that I usually make online orders for. I usually get the El Presidente Burrito and 2 Baja Fish Taco.The burrito on the outside is a bit messy, as it is covered with guac and shrimp. I usually just start eating the burrito without it and spread the guac and a piece of shrimp inside between bites. Their guac is really good!The fish tacos are also pretty good. Crispy and crunchy. I do wish they gave a second tortilla on the bottom, otherwise if I leave the taco alone too long it might start getting soggy and rip more easily.

After unsuccessfully stopping by a nearby Mexican restaurant (let's just say the words "pretentious" and "privileged" come to mind after observing how certain guests are welcomed and how certain guests treat other guests), we decided to look for what suits us: satisfying food, decent prices, good service, and a calm/quiet atmosphere. We got what we were looking for when we came to Andale and sat in the outdoor patio. We're not fancy people, but we do know what a good burrito tastes like and what good service looks like. Everything came out piping hot with an abundance, good balance of veggies/protein, and everything was seasoned well. We appreciated the clean and quiet patio outside that was accompanied by the calm trickling of the mini fountain. We're simple people, and we appreciated how we didn't encounter any BS while stopping by Andale. Will be stopping by again.

This place is why I wish Yelp offered half stars and it should have received a 2 1/2 from me. Now this place isn't bad but it's just very average. My burrito and bottled soda was $16. The burrito was also small. I have gotten way better, bigger and tastier burritos at my local Mexican market. The chicken tinga was good but just not great. I'm also not a fan of restaurants that only offwr cans or bottles and not a soda machine. Kinda cheap to me. Also no chips. If you're looking for good Mexican food you probably shouldn't come here. You can get so much better for cheaper elsewhere.

Welcoming Kind service team, beautiful interior and exterior, easy to follow menu, food brought out relatively quickly. Even the grilled chicken in the salad was perfectly made. There is something for everyone!

Lady at the front was extremely rude. Let her know something was wrong with my order and she dug her hands through it to say nothing was wrong with it. Very rude attitude overall, would not go again.

Nice restaurant on the main Santa Cruz strip. It has a cozy backyard patio, and a smaller pet friendly patio area out front. It has been a long time staple in the area for many decades. Stopped by for dinner again recently and ordered...* Chips & guac -- Nice fresh tortilla chips. Guac was fresh but could have used more spice and tang. Congress with 3 different salsas... salsa fresca, green salsa and red salsa.* Enchiladas Verde -- Comes with 2 enchiladas stuffed with chicken, and a side of Spanish rice. Chicken was a little on the bland side.* Salmon Salad -- Grilled salmon was decent. Salad has a good variety of organic greens, cucumber, tomato, and bits of goat cheese and avocado with a light vinaigrette.Service was friendly enough. Food is decent, but nothing particularly crave worthy.

A good place for dinner. Excellent staff work in customer service. Delicious dishes, but not completely authentic. We recommend visiting this place.

Food was so good! Everything from the chips and salsa to the shrimp burrito and chicken quesadillas was super fresh and filling!

I was looking forward to going to Andale since my husband told me it was one of his favorite Mexican places to eat. However, we were really disappointed by our experience today. My husband, I and my newborn baby walked into the restaurant to eat in the back patio area since that's what my husband had done for many years, and considering our newborn baby could get fussy anytime, we wanted to be outside so as to not potentially interrupt other guests' meals. According to my husband who has been going there for more than twenty years, he used to place his order at the front counter inside and then bring the food to either the patio out back or his seat inside. So, we went directly to a back patio table and then returned up front to check in with a waiter as to how to order. When we asked the waiter (host?) about placing an order, he was extremely rude to my husband. The waiter told us that we ignored him on our way in, and that we cannot eat in the back patio. My husband apologized many times and explained that we were not aware that there was now a host or that we now needed to be seated by this host. . Honestly, I did not see any host welcoming us when we entered. We immediately left the restaurant right after that very unpleasant interaction.I have to say how the food tastes is one thing, but how long-time customers are treated is another. My husband was visibly shaken from how he was addressed. Too bad this restaurant lost a long time customer from this exchange. I will never come to this restaurant again.

Food, service, and outdoor back patio is 10/10. This is my go-to spot whenever I don't feel like cooking. I haven't had anything I didn't like here. My fave is the watermelon agua Fresca and the surf and turf. Chicken nachos are also amazing!!
