Great burritos, super great price. Gotta try the "orange sauce". Not too hot. Something about it makes it special. They sell it in a squeeze bottle fo 5 bucks. Get it to take home and put it on everything. More

Special sauce is OK and the benchmark cheese enchilada is just OK too. Big diet cokes and plenty of chips though. More

This little taqueria place has been one of my all-time favorites, as i've lived in San Jose my whole life. The best burritos for a late night and even during the day, but make sure you add some of their special spicy sauce! It will do wonders to your food!! More
