This is a great place if you like authentic Mexican food (lard baby!) The service is hurried, you may have to wait. But you can bring the whole family here, even the screaming baby, and you'll all fit right in. Wearing pajamas and slippers? No problem. Salsa is great, chips are fresh and hot, and drinkers will like the enormous... More

We had to wait probably about 45 min. to be seated and they do not let you have any drinks while waiting either, which would probably have made the experience much better. I really enjoyed my food - the salsa has a wonderful kick and the shredded chicken was delicioso. My husband was so upset about the wait, I think... More

If you want real "Mexican Munchies" then go to one of thier 3 locations, @ Lincoln, @ Curtner and @ Willow in San Jose CA. You will not be disappointed at all. Their Chili Colorado is to die for as well as forgive the spelling Camarones Empanasado "Fried shrimp" My wife lives the shrimp and I love the Chili Colorado.... More

Fabulous food, reasonable prices, and great margaritas. Be prepared to wait awhile for a table, unless you come during the off-hours like 3 pm during the week. Or go for take-out; same great food without the wait for a table. Inside, it's not fancy, and the location is a bit odd - sandwiched in near a nail salon, shoe repair,... More

This is one of three or four in San Jose. We have only had lunch at this place. The parking is the pits and if you didn't know where this place was you would miss it. We usually only order an ala-cart entry such as a tostata so I can't speek to much on the menu. What we do get... More

The food here is very consistent. Your average Mexican food. But our favorite are the Super Chavelas, Mexican beer with a shot of tequila! Then the food tastes excellent! More

Easily the best Mexican food in San Jose (besides my mother's). The inside decor is very classic, not cheesy. I feel like I'm in Mexico when I go to this restaurant. The chips they bring to the table are warm and salty, the kind that were destined to be tortillas, but ended up as chips (these are the best). They... More

We live close to the Taqueria and have take out a few times a month. The orders arrive home still hot and are exactly what you ordered. The food is authenic and very tasty. The establishment is clean, the staff are very friendly and I would definetly recommend the Taqueria to anyone. The price/value is excellent More
