Also liked their refreshing drinks: Melon pineapple and Jamaika ..“

“If you want tacos go to Mr. Shrimp... if you want fresh seafood go to Mr.
Shrimp... if you want a delicious michelada mix go to Mr.Shrimp... Amazing service, friendly Staff, refreshing and cool setup to enjoy a nice fresh seafood meal. It is 100% worth every penny.“

“I ate Suqaar at the MCA on Friday and it was my first time eating East African food, and suffice it to say, I look forward to eating here again next week!

The flavors are bold and extremely tasty, but not overwhelming at all. The salad was fresh and the dill dressing was refreshing. And the rice was vibrant and had a nice saffron scent. Finally, the chai was really nice :)

Thanks so much for an awesome lunch!“

“Delicious authentic Mexican food, the closest to Guerrero 😍“

“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.“

“This food truck and the owner are amazing!!!! When I drive down from Pakland to get my car worked on at Dhillon Motorsports, which is equally amazing, I walk over and get whatever she makes!!!! It's tasty, yummy, filling and addictive!! See you again! Muchas Gracias sonora!!“

“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!“

“Los mejores taquitos que eh probado!! Todas las carnes súper ricas, las salsas y hasta las tortillas muy deliciosas igual que en la ciudad de Mexico. 100% recomiendo este lugar!“

“Got the Cubano with a side of Tostones and an order of Tostones Rellenos with beef filling. The Cuban Sandwich had a nice crunch to it and good flavor. The Tostones Rellenos were great as well, although I've only tried the beef I will be back to try the chicken or pork options !“

“Very fast service, Staff is friendly, and the food is SO GOOD!🤤“

“I tried almost every taco truck in San Jose today I decided to tried this family business I didn't had enough money but thank God the person took my order was very generous and the cook women was very warm welcome person I order 3 tacos de carnitas and 3 de pollo and a side order of beans and rice the food was warm delicious I told the cook women I will be back for the tacos de chicharones God bless you all ???“

“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 🥰“

“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.“

“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 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Pretty dang good tamales overall at a good price point to boot.

Service was good and friendly, had one of each of their pork, chicken, and spicy short rib tamales.

Chicken was a lot better then most places I've had and their short ribs one was good too. Pork was a tad dry but still fine.

All in all would recommend.“

“great snack menu and delicious ice cream, highly, highly recommend!“

“The tortillas are AMAZING! 😀“

“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!“

“This is THE place !!! Birria 10/10 Menudo 10/10 Aguas frescas 10/10… Everything 100% SO DELICIOUS and there tortillas are THE BEST! Customer service is so attentive and very professional. I know for a fact that if they ever receive (if they have) bad reviews, it’s because they’re just unhappy people or have weird taste buds lol. I’ve been their clientele and all my family for more than 10 years. So polite and good so bomb. They’re the definition of THE BEST BIRRIA in California ✅“

“Never disappoints I love their 2 sandwich combo for $20 w fries this is the only food truck where I feel like I get my moneys worth for sure and all my friends have said the same thing! They’re parked by the park now and it’s more convenient for us since we live down the street. You order through the self serve kiosk which is super easy since I get anxiety talking to cashiers. Over all great experience always.“

“We were drawn in by the smells of the BBQ. They were cooking carne asada. I ordered a carne asada burrito for my wife ($14) and she absolutely loved it.
Maybe a little pricey but the flavor was amazing!
TACOS CHENCHO
3102 Story Rd Ste B, San Jose, CA 95127“

“Quality food! Good people!“

“buenos tacos d tripa y al pastor mis preferidos y más las quesabirrias“

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

“toda la comida es deliciosa 🥰🌮“

“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.“

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

“The freshest fruit i've found so far. Other stands the fruit aren't ready or they are sour. This was perfect. Wanted light tajin and she put just the right amount. Perfect amount too. Choose Mango, Cantaloupe, & Watermelon. All for 3$“

“Friendly staff, awesome tostada, and super spicy salsa
I ordered the lengua tostada cuz I wanted the most bang for my buck. The lengua was cooked very well. The lady upfront was really friendly and sounded warm. I also asked for super spicy salsa and love how many habaneros were used. Price is clearly shown on the food truck.“

“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!“

“We were in the area craving pupusas and came across this spot on Google. I’ll be honest... I was a little skeptical at first since it only had around 70 reviews, but we decided to give it a try. So glad we did!

It’s located in a small shopping center with easy parking right in front. As soon as we walked in, I noticed how super clean the restaurant was... no joke, it was sparkling lol.

The service was excellent, and the food did not disappoint. We ordered the spinach pupusa, combo pupusa, tacos dorados, and a pupusa taco mix. Yes… a pupusa taco mix! First time I’ve ever heard of that, and it was actually so good.

Everything tasted fresh and authentic. The curtido (cabbage mix) and salsa were the perfect combo. I’m usually picky about the cabbage because sometimes it’s way too vinegary, but this one was balanced perfectly.

Definitely recommend checking this place out if you’re craving authentic pupusas!“

“The food here is fantastic customer service is excellent the atmosphere is not the greatest but I guess the food makes up for it prices are reasonable they toss up fresh tortillas either corn or flour right there in front of you just keep your guard up not the safest area to hang out or to be more than an hour“

“I was there last night and had the Platillo Durango. It was delicious. A lot of food for $17.99. Ate the stuffed pepper, beans and rice; Very good! Took the two enchiladas and tamale home for a meal today. Really tasty food. Can't wait to go again.“

“I BEEN GOING TO PEPE FOR A LONG TIME. HE IS THE BEST HANDS DOWN MARISCOS IN SAN JOSE AND BAY AREA AND I STAY LOOKING FOR SIMILAR IF NOT BETTER BUT CAN NOT FIND ANYTHING BETTER AND FULL OF TASTE WITH MANY DIFFERENT VARIETY PLATES TO DIFFERENT SAUCES TO LEVELS OF CHILI HOTNESS. HE IS PROFESSIONAL AND VERY ATTENTIVE TO HIS CUSTOMERS AND MAKES SURE YOU LEAVE SATISFIED. IF YOUR READING THIS AND DECIDING TO TRY IT. TRY IT!!!!! YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED. CANT WAIT FOR HIM TO OPEN UP A RESTAURANT!!!“

“The absolute best Mexican food I’ve had in the United States so far, unlike most Mexican restaurants in the Bay Area, the cooks at Chavindecas Rossy actually season their meat very well, especially the adobada, so you can’t go wrong whether you order tacos or chavindecas (quesadillas stuffed with meat served with 3 different salsas and a small roasted onion) each of the 3 salsas they serve is absolutely delicious, they also sell great cheeses and candies made in Mexico, this is as close as it gets from all the places I’ve tried to the flavor and quality of the food in Mexico, the price is well worth it every single time.“

“The service that the girl provided me was great, she welcomed me with a big smile and was very friendly, the tacos were delicious, I liked the asada ones better than the pastor's. The roasted ones had more flavor. It's a shame that the jalapeño is not spicy at all, but apart from that, very “

“excelente servicio y buena comida!“

“I hired Tacos La Choca for an event for my company for over 250 people. They did an awesome job. Very professional, on time. Had more than enough food and drinks. Were very friendly, and helpful. They made this event so easy. Marcela the owner brought enough staff to assist with the event in a timely manner. We are definitely using Tacos La Choca again for our events.“

“My favorite place to eat 👍🏽“

“The cook at this location is one of a kind. He knows what he's doing. I always come for the camaron (shrimp) tacos. So good I came back the same day for more. The staff is also very friendly. I recommend this spot to everyone in the Bay Area especially all the locals in San Jose that are currently sleeping on this place.“

“Pork sisig silog sarap……..“

“Great tacos with handmade tortillas!
Their Al Pastor and Carnitas tacos are both excellent.

I love that they let you add your own onions and cilantro, and the salsa is delicious too.

It would be even better if they offered grilled onions on the side. Overall, great food, a nice atmosphere, and plenty of parking!“

“Best food in town“

“This is the temporary location as the original had a small fire and is being repaired.

Bad news: the parking is a little weird (don't pull in immediately but go past it and come from the back) and the old location will take a little time to come back.

Good news: it's just as good as before and they're open and ready to sling everyone's favorite taqueria classics!“

“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!!!!! 😊🤣😍😍😍“

“It's my first time coming here. Street parking or paid parking lot only. Outdoor and indoor dining. Limited seating inside. Their menu is simple and yet offers enough choices for customers. I love the amount of craft beer choices. I'm glad they support a local craft brewery.

I ordered their No. 1 Hot Chicken Nashville Style Sandwich with fries. I was not disappointed at all. The chicken was crispy in the outside and juicy in the inside. The spiciness was perfect for me. Their fries were thick and well done.

The only thing that needs to improve is the hospitality of the cashier. She seemed like she had a long day based on her flat affect. She did not welcome customers coming in or checked if they liked their food. Other than that, this place rocks!“
