“Reyna was our server and provided exceptional service along with such a friendly demeanor the whole time, we dined on a busy Saturday evening and she was splendid the whole evening. We complimented the whole dining experience, especially the cuisine. Reyna brought out the chef!! We had the extreme pleasure to meet Chef Yerika Munoz, I disclosed my sincerest appreciation for the cuisine and representation of Mexican cuisine, as it is my heritage. I plan on bringing my family because of the amazing and memorable experience we had!“

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

“everything's good there great atmosphere and great and friendly service! ove that place“

“Fresh homemade tortillas, quality ingredients, friendly staff, and the cinnamon chips are great with morning coffee or as a dessert after one of their breakfast burritos. Very reasonable prices and quality food.“

“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.“

“Good food good workers. Looks to be female ran and operated. You know that's usually a good sign. Had the wet burrito was good. I wish they had spicier salsa

Kid-friendliness: Good place for families or after work drinks“

“Stopped by this taco truck after seeing it on google maps. Menu is in Spanish only, but fortunately I’ve been to my share of taco trucks and could read it.Got the super burrito carne asada, no cream. More flavorful and juicer than most. Excellent.Would recommend and will stop by when I’m in the area again.“

“Customer Service was the best! They are able to speak English for the couple of times I’ve went. They are all nice with friendly/warm attitude. Their al pastor is the best I’ve ever eaten, there is a hint of sweetness and there is also a bit of a crunch. We asked for extra grilled onions and it was pretty good!

Parking: Never went during their busiest time, but at 9:30pm on a Friday, there was a line, and there was still parking. Parking lot is not well lit at night, only when you park near the food prep area.“

“First time at this restaurant. I tried the shrimp, asada and al pastor tacos. All were good with the exception of Al pastor, it was dry and not very flavorful. I couldn’t even finish eating it. I would come back to try other items on the menu.“

“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“

“First time in a long time since I've been here! My mom and I were like the 2nd customers that walked in, shortly after they got a bit packed! But the food was great and delicious! The chips and salsa is how you know the restaurant is PHENOMENAL!“

“My Spanish is absolutely terrible and if I can say the red jalapeno then somebody knew what in the hell they were doing at this place
Except for green jalapenos did it really nail that one but hey I don't know what the Spanish word is for green so perhaps I've been outsmarted again.?
Pretty much all the food that they had here was Mexican food.
I can't really say things like Coca-Cola is Mexican food or the water.
Although it is San Jose so it's just a different kind of poison.
Other than toxic water which the whole city has this place had toxically enticing meals. I went for a burrito like I always do it wasn't vegan it used to moo.
Happy belated Mexican Independence Day
San Ho.
The numero that is Uno“

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

“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 ???“

“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.“

“The food is so good and employees are always friendly. The green dip for the chips is so good. Great place for casual lunch or dinner and drinks.“

“Group of teenagers LOVED this place!“

“Excellent food, great service“

“This place is good. Everything is fresh, the salsa and chili are delicious. It's not a street taco, they are more like super tacos. They have a big menu. Only thing is, they close early lol 9p everyday and that's not good on the weekends.“

“The area is as industrial as it gets and looked a little sketchy until you talk to the crew who is so lovely and welcoming. Son oaxaqueños y su cocina es auténtica. The food is great and delicious, perfect for adventurous eaters who want to try new things or who already know and enjoy Mexican food.“

“Very friendly service and grate good.👍“

“Hometown food! Love SuperTaq!“

“There are benefits to finding oneself in an unfamiliar neighborhood and searching Google. I was looking for a taco truck near me that accepted credit cards since we foolishly left the house with only $2.00. La Oaxaquense Food Truck was the top result, and with 4.8 stars, many of them from people who know Oaxacan food, I figured we couldn't go that far wrong. We hit the jackpot! We asked for traditional choices and chose the Tlayuda, which kinda looks like a Mexican pizza or very large tostada. We sat on a bench in the park and feasted! It was delicious. The beef and chorizo were both very tasty, as were the black beans. Together with the avocado, tomato, cheese and cabbage, we ate far more than we should have since it was so yummy. It certainly made us want to come back and try some of the other dishes.
The service was very friendly and efficient. I highly recommend La Oaxaquense Food Truck. It's worth going out of your way for!“

“The food here is SO GOOD! and such a good price. Their birria tastes soooo good i really like it and would recommend it. Their whole menu is good, honestly. I also really like their horchata.
workers are super nice. They play very lively music in the restaurant, i like it. There are also so many tables, so there is rarely ever a wait. There is also self serve sides, water, and sauces making it super convenient!!“

“This place needs to be put on the map. The food quality is amazing. Portions are perfect and a staff is super friendly. Highly recommend their steak super burrito. It’s amazing meat is super high-quality as well as all the ingredients they use. I believe they use skirt steak for their burritos.“

“This place was AMAZING I highly recommend trying the pocole. Super flavorful and comforting. Everyone was very nice and the Atmosphere reminded me of home (: they have been here for 35 years and it truly shows in there food. I've been recommending this place to everyone and will continue to due so.“

“Awesome food made quickly ❤️ super delicious food highly recommended 🥰😍“

“Exelente sabor y buen servicio rapido y buenos precios.“

“Don't let the haters fool you. This place has consistently served up traditional Mexican food with authentic flavors that taste like they are straight from your abuela for easily the past decade. There is a reason the day workers eat here and not Tacos El Compa - which is great but definitely more Cali/Mex or Baja.“

“Hometown food! Love SuperTaq!“

“Have never had a bad experience! Great selection of mexican bread. Food portions are good for the price. It IS a bit on the pricy side but like i said, worth it. The food is authentic and delicious! They also sell fresh-made carnitas and chicharron. Friendly ladies, professional and polite.“

“Staff very friendly and helpful with information about the location and hours of service very tasty tortillas“

“It's been a long time since I've had a restaurant where I found everything, good food, good service, the truth is that it's excellent, the food is delicious, the dishes are great, the portions are super generous, the service is exceptional, the drinks are delicious, only that the juice they put in them was bitter from then on. Outside everything is a 10 out of 10 congratulations!!!“

“muy mal servicio no nos llevaron las vevidas mi esposo tu bo que levantarme por ella por que no llevaron lo que pedimos la comida la mía no llevaron como lo pedí después de esperar como 20 minutos y el menudo que pidió un amigo mal lísimo muy mal servicio antes era bueno no se que le esta pasando y creo que nos dijo la mesera que cambio de cocineros“

“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!!!“

“I truly enjoyed trying this place yesterday. I went for lunch, and I'm returning from now on (especially because they have more than one vegetarian option on their menu).The flavor is definitely there; the staff is friendly, and their menu is extensive enough with good options but still not overwhelming to focus on continuing to perfect the dishes they offer.Keep in mind the place is not too big, and there are only a few parking spots, but it is worth your time looking for a parking spot!I ordered "torta de huevo" -it comes with tomatoes, onions, avocado, jalapeños, and cheese. It was TASTY!! And with real telera. When you give it the first bit, your mind will transport you to your favorite lonchería in Mexico.Bonus: They bring you (with your order) their tasty and homemade red and green salsas!I highly recommend it!“
