Don’t expect fancy, this is fast-casual, legit Mexican. The salsa, chicken enchiladas with green sauce and the carne asada tacos were all terrific. Beans and rice were just ok, but as expected for the style of restaurant. Service was friendly and pretty quick (not too busy at mid-week dinner hour). If you want good, fast reasonably priced Mexican - Angelous is quite good.

This was one of the highly rated places in downtown San Jose, and it's easy to see why. The food was delicious and came out pretty quickly, and the place has an aura of history looming about it with all the decor. The staff was polite as well. Has some outdoor seating too. This is now going to be a to-visit spot on every trip to san jose now!

Another victim in the downward trend of Mexican food in the San Jose. Prices up while quality goes down. The sauce is solid at least but man has the amount of meat as well as the quality went down. Used to eat here everyday during my uni days. Was bummed last time I ate here.

After personally having more time to venture around to different lunch spots in downtown San Jose, I can confidently say this is my favorite lunch spot in the area.Burritos are really good. You can tell they take the little extra time getting the flavor and texture just right.

The Taco Tuesday deal was great! 3 tacos and a soda for $7 and the salsa was great! Lots of seating at the restaurant both indoor and outdoor. Will definitely be coming back to try more of their food and drinks.

Had the carne asada tacos. Serving size was good enough and reminds me of tacos in Mexico. But tacos could have done with more onions and

I lived in San Jose all my life and in 20 days i will be moving. I just discovered this place 10 days ago and this will be the number one thing i miss when i leave. Im always on the search for the best burrito ever where i go in the country including Mexico, and this place is the one.The burrito i got was the “Hot Cheetos Burrito” but don’t let the hot Cheetos part stop you if your not a fan of them, let me tell you about the asada! It was seasoned to perfection each and every-time i get it, and surprisingly the orange sauce is 10/10 and the green sauce is 10/10.Fortunately for my parents, i will definitely be making more frequent visits to town literally to get this burrito.. thats how good it is.Btw, i put the fries on the side. Haven’t tried it with the fries in it.

Personally I feel that this is the best Mexican food I have ever tasted in the Bay area. The cal burrito was awesome and full, couldn't finish it. The carnitas plate was also great - served with hot corn tortillas, beans, salad, guacamole and sour cream. The staff were friendly and welcoming. Really appreciate the girl who took our order. Even though she didn't speak fluent English, she was very helpful answering our questions, trying to show us pictures etc.The place was warm and cozy, but had that old building smell. But it looks like they are moving around the block sometime in June 2023.Parking: There is a multi level parking across the 2nd street where the first 90 minutes is free, then they charge you $1 every 15 minutes as of 05/23/2023.
