Got there for the daily special : 4 mini taco's for $4.00
But
wait, there's more : And they up the ante on Monday's and Wednesday's:
when you get the four taco's, you get a free fountain soda.
A filling meal for not a lot of cash; Thanks Los Cabos !!!!
My meat choice was carnitas and pollo; both were tasty and not greasy.
You get a free basket of store bought corn chips; hey, they are free and the salsa bar kicks butt.
Customer service: friendly.
Parking: front row parking can be iffy, you may need to park in the adjacent parking lot and walk an extra 25 yards.
No home made corn tortilla's.
The regular dinner plates are pricey; at $8.80 to $13.50.
Customer service: very good and friendly.
Quick service: in 5 to 10 minutes you have your food; you can tell the food is well put together, not slopped together.

La Casita, Congratulations, you get my first 4.5. Your deliciously crispy and perfectly fried chips crunch, and then melt, in my mouth. Your salsa is fresh and has just the right amount of spice without making me want to rip my tongue out. Again, nicely done.
As a customer, you definitely have to be careful what you order here, as it can swiftly and completely change your opinion of this restaurant. First things first -- this is a rule that I adhere to, and have adhered to, since my initial experience dining here:
Do not order off the a la carte menu. Just don't do it, okay?
Meals I strongly advocate ordering:
*Seafood Enchiladas
*Seafood Soup
*Okay, really anything off the seafood menu, except the surf and turf
*Fajitas
*Gibo Special
I am probably an anomaly in that I don't really enjoy Mexican rice / beans, so because I rarely to never eat them, and wouldn't like them even if I did, I can't remark on their pro's or con's. My boyfriend, however, gives the rice two thumbs up. The beans are just "meh"
The meals are a bit on the pricier side for Mexican food ($10-$20), so be prepared for that. Also, it gets LOUD and BUSY here on weekend nights -- and naturally, service slows down because of it. So if you're coming with a hot date, maybe you should play it safe and bring him/her on a weeknite instead. Not a romantic atmosphere, but a great place to bring the kids. They can run around like wild banshees, and no one will even blink an eye.

I used to stop by here a lot while I was at Ohlone, and I was always disappointed that they closed so early ): I always had late tutoring sessions, so this was always my favorite dinner-type meal place.
I always got the turkey and swiss. Sooooooo good! -drool- When I had extra money, I'd add a cup of the pesto pasta salad! Mmm yum yum!
The sandwiches ALWAYS fill me up. They put a ton of those sprouts in your sandwich (I'm not sure why) and they don't really taste like anything, but they could be healthy... I dunno.
Unfortunately, I won't be going to Ohlone anymore. But, I still have 4 more stamps to get before I can get my free sandwich.. Hmm...
The older woman that works here is always so nice. She actually talks and smiles and stuff. Very heartwarming (:
It's about $9 for a sandwich, but its worth it. Get the pesto pasta salad and some Honest Tea!

We've been meaning to try dinner at Los Cabos for a long time, but have
been thwarted in the past by their relatively early closing time (8:30
pm). We did have breakfast here once, but it was so long ago that I
only have a vaguely positive recollection of it. It's a casual dinning
experience -- you order at the register, take a number, and your meal is
brought to you.
Anyway, I ordered the tacos plate (I chose steak and pork, respectively, with a mild green chile sauce), which came with rice and refried beans. Everything was very good. The meat was tasty and lean, and beans were about the best I've ever had. They could have gone a bit lighter on the minced raw onions that came with the tacos, but it was easy to scrape some off. They were out of Sol beer, so I settled for Modelo instead (It was just OK). My girlfriend had the shrimp enchiladas with fried eggs on top, and rice and beans on the side, which were also very good.
Chips come complementary with the meal, and there's a salsa bar where you can pick from at least 7 or 8 varieties. Beware though -- several of them are pretty hot.
It took a little longer than expected to get our orders, but I'll take quality over speed any time. And the owner was quite friendly, stopping by our table to see how our meal was. A very enjoyable dinner. I'm sure we'll be back.
