50 Best Taco Restaurants near Los Gatos

“stopped to grab a little something and I immediately fell in love with the service. The lovely woman was super nice and the food was delicious the red salsa is so spicy but so delicious!!, she even throws in a little mint and a toothpick, and she speaks English and Spanish!! I’m coming here again.“

“The Cantina was such a cool spot and had great Cali-style Mexican food with a little Hawaiian/beachy flare! Huge bar selection, craft beer, and the Tiki drinks looked incredible as well! The owner, Scott, was a delight and we will definitely be coming back!“

“The epicenter of culinary excellence in Los Gatos.“

“Les recomiendo las tortas y las quesavirrias buen servicio y atencion“

“Tucked away in a little side parking lot is this wonderful and authentic Mexican food truck. We ordered the quesabirra tacos with a side of consome and the food came out fairly quick.

While the tacos were delicious, the texture was on the soggier side. This is was a little disappointing as the other times I’ve been here the tacos are nice and crunchy. The consome was not too salty and has a deep and rich flavor to it.

Overall this is a great little hole in the wall that is perfect for either a late night dinner or if you just crave some delicious food.“

“VERY good Al Pastor tacos!! Get the “Authentico” on homemade tortillas 👌🏼

The only ones I’ve had that were better were in Sayulita, Mexico! Really flavorful and fresh 🥰“

“This is one of the better restaurants in the area! It was perfect and it didn’t give me heart burn afterwards. The food didn’t give me heartburn afterwards and would totally recommend. The catering is on top, but so is the restaurant. The atmosphere is perfect and the service is impeccable, staff is very friendly and our host had lots of hospitality. Would definitely come back for a regular meal!“

“Mike and Jacob helped us today going back this weekend to get my music in!!!“

“16.50 Al pastor burrito, pretty decent food, reasonable prices considering everything around sjsu area is taxed, this place is tucked away in the back of a liquor store, kind of a hidden gem imp. Good food and the lady who works there is very kind, always friendly“

“Another one of my go-to spots for fresh Mexican seafood in San Jose! This is a food truck you definitely don’t want to pass up. Everything I’ve tried has been fresh, flavorful, and delicious, and you can really taste the quality in every bite.
My personal favorite is the burrito, but the tostada is an absolute must-try too!
The owner/cook is always friendly, welcoming, and great to talk to, which makes the experience even better. There’s also plenty of outdoor seating in a comfortable, relaxed setting, making it a great place to enjoy your meal.“

“Best tacos on the East side of San Jose. I’ve coming here for years since when they only had a carreta de tacos. They really upgraded over the years, now they offer aguas frescas in different flavors. The tacos are always delicious, my favorite son los de ojo y al pastor!“

“Very good place, the tacos were very well priced and the meat tasted like it was barbecued. They are smaller than the other places, but the flavor definitely makes up for it. Chili is very spicy, so don't put too much if you can't take it. Overall a good place to hit up when you want a qui k plate of tacos.“

“Got the pleasure of eating the food at a party and let me say it was all amazing! Tried the steak tacos, nachos, rice… all was great but my favorite definitely the Al pastor! Highly recommend!“

“Stevie's Bar & Grill in San Jose isn't just a bar, it's a sanctuary for the soul and a paradise for beer enthusiasts. Each time I return to San Jose, Stevie's is my go-to spot, a reliable haven where the beer flows as freely as the good times. With a draft beer selection that's second to none, Stevie's is like a grand library of brews, each one a story waiting to be savored. The attentive staff elevates the experience, making sure your glass is never empty and your spirits are always high. The vibe here is electric yet welcoming, a perfect backdrop for the delectable snackable treats they serve. And if you're in a crunch for time, the adjacent laundromat turns a chore into a chance for relaxation – sip and savor while you spin and rinse! Stevie's is more than a bar; it's a clever twist on the traditional, a gem that makes San Jose shine a little brighter.“

“Best fish tacos in the south bay!“

“Chile Verde Burrito with the Red Salsa 🥰“

“hela bomb. tacos have good flavor. they don't skimp out on the meat.“

“I drive by here all the time and I always see a huge line and today I happen to catch them when they had a very short wait time. Impulsively I decided to stop and wait and I’m so happy I did. The food was great.. five stars out of five stars. I am impressed.“

“I have moved out of SJ and now live in Florida. Every now and then I think of Taco Bravo with fond memories of my favorite enchilada with my addition of verde sauce and black olives and I just crave it sooo much. I am so sorry for the loss of Dennis he was so integral to the business but seems that all are keeping it up so well and I look forward to the day I can come back to my favorite Mexican fast food stomping ground 🙏🏻♥️🙏🏻♥️“

“This the second time I buy at this taco truck, the food is amazing anything u buy the flavor for the food is bomb!!!!!! And the amount of beef on the food is a lot u get satisfied ,I will coming back again this my new favorite place I give them more than 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Had the best quesabirria of my life at Birrieria y Taqueria La Gran Señora.
The meat was insanely flavorful and juicy, the consommé was rich and packed with flavor, and the cheese pull was perfect. Every bite tasted fresh and made with care. Easily one of the best birria spots I’ve tried, definitely worth coming back for“

“Great place to have an easy meal in San Jose after leaving Lincoln High School.
I ordered a regular chicken burrito with no beans as wanting something light. It came out perfect. They brought out chips and salsa to my table on the patio. Was a great Saturday morning relax outside with some shade.
Very clean facilities.“

“They serve single tortilla tacos but they are hand made from scratch and have a good thickness to them. They load it up with your desired protein and provide a covered salad bar for fixings or provide some to go with carry out orders. I would highly recommend their Al pastor tacos, as someone who has tried tacos throughout the country and frequent Mexico, the first bite left me in awe. I hope it wasn’t just a lucky day but rather that they are consistent with the quality. Definitely worth a stop.“

“These were some of the best tacos I’ve ever had. I had just gone to Mexico City a month ago and these were right up there with my favorites there, at Tacos El Betin. The most-orders: cabeza, tripas, and buche. The proteins were perfectly cooked, crunchy on the outside, fatty on the inside. The green salsa was fantastic like other reviewers have mentioned.Be sure to get there earlier if you can because there’s a bit of a line. But don’t let it throw you off if there’s a line because they move quickly. There’s a table and some shade next to the truck as well. You can’t go wrong coming here.“

“These are the best tlacoyos and Hidalgo barbacoa I've ever tried. So if you want to try authentic Mexican food you need to make a stop at this place. As a Mexican this place takes me home in every bite, I lived in Mexico City and even there was hard to find a place with this flavor. The coconut water is delicious. Mr. Jose and his wife are very nice and hard working people. Everything in this place is exquisite!“

“Quality food! Good people!“

“There tacos were delicious I will be going back 😋“

“The paisa taqueria is the best around my town best service best flavor center Rd and story and king road“

“Love the huaraches! And the empanadas fritas! Each plate is substantial, the meats are all so well cooked, everything else is so fresh! And they are only 5 minute walk from our home. We love taking our dogs out for a walk to the park and get the food here.“

“excelente servicio y buena comida!“

“muy buenas las recomiendo para mí que hago tortas ahogadas“

“The food was really good quality, lots of meat, tasted authentic, and good portions for the price. Sauces were also good with a mild kick. I appreciate when places provide extras like this place does with the extra onions, radish, jalapeños, and bean tacos. Consommé was really good too. Didn't wait too long for my order and it was convenient that I could pay with card, some taco trucks are cash only which can be difficult. Overall a really good experience and would definitely recommend.“

“First time trying this place and I fell in love with the food I order Menudo. It was delicious and I was shocked to see the homemade tortillas. They were so delicious big and made from scratch with good ingredients so soft and good flavor. I ordered the flan. It was delicious Just perfect. The staff was very respectful and very nice.“

“I will continue ordering from this taqueria specifically because they take my ridiculous requests of separating certain foods from my nachos. I don't enjoy soggy nachos (especially since I doordash food), so for my first time, I requested to have the chips on the side. The amount of chips and the toppings itself was a 10 out of 10 for me. The food was delicious as well so 10 out of 10 again. I just doordashed nachos again last night and I requested to have the beans, sour cream, and chips on the side. (I don't like beans and am lactose intolerant) I felt bad for this request since I already felt like I was doing too much with the food separations. When I received my order, they nicely packed all of my food and it was still warm and I was just so ecstatic with the customer service I knew I wanted to review this place. (It's the little things that make the food experience enjoyable) Again, the food was delicious and I love their salsa. I am just happy with my overall experiences with this taqueria and am happy to be one of their customers.“

“Chile Verde Burrito with the Red Salsa 🥰“

“I go to Bellarmine, and I always go here as well as Cindy's. The boba tea is always great, and the food is super real and tasty. Could get busy in the afternoons, but worth any wait. The staff are super friendly and personable, and are very helpful.“

“Great Birria! No need to add extra ingredients but adding the onions, cilantro and hot sauce just makes it perfect! The Mexican waters are always on point! They always have so many flavors to choose from. Great food!! You feel welcome when you come here. Thank you to all there staff always very tempting.“

“Stopped by for lunch and had the Super Taco—it was excellent. The meat was flavorful, the toppings were fresh, and everything was well balanced without being overly heavy. The portion was generous, making it a satisfying lunch. The service was quick, the staff was friendly, and the overall experience was great. I’ll definitely be coming back for another Super Taco!“

“👍🏼❤️fresh and delicious as usual“

“King 👑 Of Taco Trucks Hands Down!!!!!! I order shrimp and steak tacos and alambres as they are to DINE for!!!!! Please don't ask for duh brisket aka suadero cause it's my favorite meat on that damn truck that is so damn good I keep coming back for more!!!!! 😊🤣😍😍😍“

“Had to work around the area so i looked around for a quick bite & came across this place. Let me tell you that every bite i took was just so full of flavor & you can tell everything is cooked fresh. Something you dont come across often. Lots of taco trucks could be hit or miss but this one definitely hit the spot. Will be coming back!“

“I went there for happy hour and had a great experience. The drinks were excellent! Bartender's friendily and accommodating. The pupu platter was a pleasant surprise—it included crispy shrimp, fresh sea bass, tender ribs, and a delicious guacamole-poke dip with corn chips. I'll definitely be back!“

“Súper ricos toda la comida que venden!! Muy recomendado y porciones muy bien servidas👍🏻“

“I love me some Mexican food. So when I was driving back to the airport, I wanted to try these for dinner. I ordered 5 Taco Chicos al Pastor, and they were pretty good. The only thing I noticed was that they were pretty dry. Nice place, lots of seating and very friendly staff. Would go again.“

“This is my first time here at this location, I'm from Fresno, CA.
Really wanted a burrito, and this spot hit the SPOT!
Thank you and ordering on line was very easy no complaints.
The service was great cashier and cook were nice. They even mentioned the sales for Wednesday... al pastor tacos buy one get one free...
FOOD ON POINT!“

“Auténtica comida taparía lo mejor de Jalisco“

“I recently was there and the food is excellent absolutely delicious friendly and excellent service prices are great definitely recommend estuve recientemente ahi y la comida y el servicio exelente si tienen la oportunidad de ir se los recomiendo los precios a comparacion de otros restaurantes estan muy accesibles definitivamente regresare“

“Make sure to check their Instagram (@3brotherskitchen) to make sure when and where they're going to be. They were at a ghost kitchen on Ruff Drive at one of the food trucks further down the parking lot. We ordered the bo-rria tacos and the pork belly fries. The consomme that came with the tacos was fantastic. We also loved how unabashedly fatty the caramelized pork belly was. I want to go back for the banh mi and the rice bowls.“

“2nd time having Tacos Mexicanos Don Ely cater our daughter's bday party and these tacos were the highlight of our party. The couple has always been super nice to us, and the steak, chicken, and carnitas tacos are to die for. Highly recommend visiting their taco truck for lunch or dinner, or inquiring about catering options!“
