We opened our first Una Mas Mexican Grill in 1991 in San Jose, California and we’ve been growing eversince! We now have over 20 locations. Our goal will always be to serve unique Mexican favorites using only the freshest, healthiest ingredients in all of our authentic dishes.

Una Mas Mexican Grill is a fusion of traditional Mexican dishes with an authentic and modern flair. Fromour popular Foghead Burrito (char-grilled chicken, with Tequila BBQ sauce, guacamole, rice, black beans,cheese, sour cream, roasted pasilla & corn salsa all wrapped in a warm chile-tomato tortilla) to ourMargarita Salad everything we make has a distinctive flair that makes Una Mas a great place to eat!

Not only is the food unique and fresh, but so is the atmosphere created by our restaurants. The updateddecor is steeped in authentic Mexican roots, yet with a modern and bright flair.

Our decor is as important as the unique food that is hand-crafted every day. With open kitchens, openfloor plans, colorful touches and earthy undertones, Una Mas provides a bright, hip and energeticambiance that welcomes our guests.
