50 Best Mexican Restaurants in San Jose

“Mole pablano enchiladas were excellent.“

“Our server Andres was an amazing server! He recommended drunk for me which was the Oaxaca mule and it did not disappoint. It was smooth and fruity with a hint of smokeyness. He also recommended the tostada norteña which again was like a lomo saltado but in a Mexican tostada. Everything was amazing! Will come again:)“

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

“larga la espera pero valió la pena muy rica la comida“

“Food is nothing short of amazing. Large menu and especially good for vegetarians and those who are into healthy options and unwilling to sacrifice taste. Really good kids menu. It's crowded and loud on Friday night, so you'll need a little patience if you go then.“

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

“muy rica la comida algo original ben y deleita tu paladar tienes que probar sus salsas y diferentes platillos qué ofrecen una diferente gama de combinaciones y sabores 😉 100% recomendado“

“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.“

“Over the years. I've had breakfast, lunch, and dinner at Mar y Sol. I usually just get a single taco with carnitas which is really a bargain. I splurged this week and had a full dinner, enchiladas verde, rice, beans, and small salad ($20-ish), took 2 entire enchiladas home for lunch the next day :-). The food is excellent, the staff is lovely, and the atmosphere is delightful. Pay cash to get a discount (3%, IIRC).“

“all the food here is incredible - the hand made tortillas alone are worth a visit (and sometimes they will sell you a few extra tortillas to take home). I love their agua frescas - they are fresh, not too sweet. Service is quick and friendly“

“La mejor comida, bebidas, el ambiente súper!! Se los recomiendo full!!“

“The Mango Margarita at Mama Lupita's is simply divine. It's not too sweet and has just the right amount of tanginess.“

“This place is so delicious! 🤤 We were staying in the area and wanted some Mexican food for dinner. We took a chance on this place and we're not disappointed. The Google rating is 4.4, so we knew going in it was well rated and for good reason. The service is great. The prices are great. The food is so tasty. It was so good I forgot to even take pictures lol. I got the Chile rellenos plate and was delighted with just the amount of food first of all, and second...that rice! Loved the red rice🤤 My fiance got the carne asada super burrito and the chicken quesadilla. The burrito was HUGE and the quesadilla was super juicy (thanks to the chicken). Even with all of that food the bill only came out to $33! Will definitely be going back again.“

“Nice restraint and food is good with reasonable prices“

“I ordered a seafood molcajete, it had shrimp, octopus, nopal, cheese, crab and class. And on the side rice and beans.
My wife had 3 tacos, 2 of shrimp and one of fish.
And as appetizer we had fried calamari and fish chicharrones.“

“La mejor birria que encontrarás en Houston Texas, variedad de platillos, gran sabor, amabilidad genuina, recomiendo la revolcada.“

“This to-go style Mexican restaurant is a gem in the heart of the office district. Perfect for busy workdays, you can quickly place your order, grab your food, and be on your way in minutes. The menu offers fresh, flavorful Mexican favorites that are satisfying without slowing you down.

If you’re lucky, you might find a parking spot nearby and grab one of the benches outside to enjoy your meal in the open air. It’s a simple setup but great for a quick lunch break. Whether you’re picking up food between meetings or just craving something fast and tasty, this spot delivers exactly what you need.“

“I forgot to add to my previou comments that their tortillas are home-made, authentic, and delicious.“

“Good experience Very good waiter/waitresses. Very good music Very good grupos Food was delicious Drinks were so refreshing I will go back all the time and recommend anyone who haven’t been there to go“

“I didn't know about this place until I did a deep dive on Reddit. This little hole in the wall is probably one of the best Mexican restaurants that I have ever been to. Being open since 1986, they know their way around a birria. I ordered a birria chivo burrito and I had to take breaks between bites to appreciate the flavor. I even thought about the food on the drive home. Even as I'm writing this, I crave another burrito. I ordered a carne asada burrito to take home, and even that was superb.“

“Was very good food and the service was 💯“

“Great place for fusion Mexican Mediterranean cuisine. They have happy hour with some interesting combinations and beer and sangria pitchers. Check out the food pictures. The serving staff are not so efficient but the place is quieter than Aquis with good distance between tables. The servers don't state that but extra humus is $3“

“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!!“

“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 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“If you are looking for a good Mexican restaurant, well this the one the staff is very friendly. They don't make you wait a long time to take your order or make it. The lady Doña Elena is very nice and she always makes sure that her staff is on top of everything. Very clean place bathrooms are always clean. Let me not mention the food, the food is excellent the rice n beans are 😋.“

And their legendary Double 🥓bacon cheese 🧀 🍔burgers🍔 are a staple here, I have been coming to this store since I was a youngster in highschool, now that I moved back to San Jose I'm Glad to see that it's full circle. 👍🏽“

“The employees and owner couldn't have been more polite. Very inviting very friendly. I may have to change my future hotel stays just to visit this place again. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit and plan on coming back. Food was very good as well. 5 stars from me.“

“After attending a show in Hoover theater we were very hungry and this was the nearest open restaurant so we decided to give it a try.
I didn't check the menu beforehand and I was worried whether or not I will get any vegetarian options. I was pleasantly surprised to see a vegetarian section in their menu. I had vegetarian taco and toastada. Food was good!
My husband tried super taco with pollo and a fish taco, he like both.
It was a chill place, we loved their patio seating. This is a self service place, all the staff was friendly though to help with water, condiments etc.“

“Very authentic Mexican food. The tortillas, sopes, and huaraches are hand made and make everything that much more delicious. We tried 1 sope de chorizo, 1 huarache de carne asada, 1 taco de asada, and 1 taco de pollo and all of the food was soooo satisfying. We also got an agua de piña con mango and saying that it was refreshing is an understatement. All the people working were attentive and they also do catering FYI! Can’t wait to be back to try their tamales oaxaqueños and their tlayudas.“

“Really good delicious food. One of my favorites lunch Taqueria.

You'll step back in time with incredible low prices. Tender well seasoned meat. The owner cooks herself during the day.

Great Value, Great Service, Great Food 👍

Highly Recommend.“

“Had another great meal here today. Great food and service from attentive owners. Nice atmosphere and reasonable prices.“

“I came here awhile back with someone special this is my spot now.i don't want fast food anymore. this place is authentic. home cooking. I went threw the drive threw cheap fast food. you can tell the difference. fast food beans taste like boiled beans and rice no flavor.this place taste as good as santa cruz jalapeños. if you want real Mexican food you get what you pay for.i love it here..“

“El servicio es increíble y el lugar muy limpio, el personal es espectacular y la comida es muy basta, todos los platillos están bien servidos y el precio es muy accesible. Mi hijo pequeño perdió un carrito y les comenté al personal y movieron todas las cosas para ayudarnos a encontrarlo! De verdad que muchas por las atenciones! Y lo repito… la comida es buenisima, tiene excelente sazón y los precios son justos. Volveré muchas veces más! ❤️“

“Our first time here on our way home to Gilroy and they didn't disappoint. Tacos were great especially the tripa hands down the best I've had. The consomé was delicious! Great customer service and friendly attitude. We'll definitely be back!“

“Excellent food, great service“

“I haven’t had a burrito this good in awhile.

I was looking for lunch while dropping my mom off on errands and found this place online. It has good reviews so I wanted to check it out. I’m glad I did because the food is so good!

I got an al pastor super burrito and they loaded it up. The meat and fillings were well seasoned and they’re very generous with the guacamole in it. Highly recommend!

The store is cute and has a lot of offering available. There’s pan dulce, the usual taqueria things, and even chicharrón they make in house. Definitely want to check it out again.“

“Servio genial Lo mejor de lo mejor“
