48 Best Taco Restaurants in San Jose

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

“This place has excellent birrieria and they put it on all kinds of dishes. Birrieria is the only type of meat they sell, though. Luckily, there is another taco truck out front if someone in your group wants something other than birrieria. They only accept cash and Zelle, so make sure you have either of those before you show up. It can get busy, so it's best to park out on the street rather than pulling into the lot. Otherwise, you might get blocked in, forcing you to stay longer than you intended.“

“Lobo’s Tacos is a hidden gem located inside a small supermarket. Despite the humble setting, the food is exceptional. The beef head tacos are my personal favorite — tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The portion sizes are generous, and the prices are very reasonable. The staff are always friendly and make you feel welcome from the moment you arrive. If you’re a fan of authentic tacos, this is definitely a spot you don’t want to miss. I can’t wait to come back and enjoy it again!“

“We celebrated our daughter and son-in-law with a beautiful baby shower brunch today. Armando and his team at Secco went above and beyond—anticipating every need and making the day so special. The food and drinks were outstanding. Highly recommend Secco for any special event!“

“Wow! What a surprise to see that Tonita's truck was open at 9 and to see that they still had masa to make delicious gorditas! The corn in the masa was fantastic. I got the lengua -amazing! The carnitas were great too-a perfect combination of meaty and crunchy! Plan to make the detour on our way to Santa Cruz.“

“In all the white noise of taco trucks out there today. their's one that stands out and above the rest! 💯 Fire!!! I could eat here everyday!“

“Chile Verde Burrito with the Red Salsa 🥰“

“These folks are extremely personable, my son and I were welcomed as soon as we walked up. We tried the mar y tierra tacos (carne asada, & shrimp), the quesibirria & shrimp, as well as the ceviche w/ mango.
The tortillas were made from scratch, and all the ingredients tasted extremely fresh.
Do yourself a favor, and go support these nice folks, you won't be disappointed.“

“The caterer for my daughter's wedding canceled a week before the wedding. Latin-Asian-Fusion Kitchen came through with exactly what was needed. The help was sincere and the food was great. Everybody complimented the food and there was plenty. Roddy responded to us promptly and kept in touch throughout the week and event. Great experience!!“

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

“I tried three different kinds of meats, and I have to say that the tacos al pastor were the best.Their prices were definitely reasonable.

Parking: Perhaps 20 to 25 parking spaces.

Wheelchair accessibility: Since it's a food truck, their tables are set at ground level.“

“I ordered the Quesadilla not Tacos. To be honest, I couldn't tell whether the taste was good or not. The only thing I felt was the cheese in it was so strong for me I couldn't even taste the cilantro. On the other hand, my friend ate tacos and said the taste was great.“

“Chile Verde Burrito with the Red Salsa 🥰“

“I think this place has THE BEST cabeza! It was seasoned very well.

The tacos here a larger than other places and it was filled with meat. I would like to try the quesadilla next time with cabeza and tripas, they look really good.

They also have a warm rice drink which was nice to have on a cold night.“

“La verdad la comida está deliciosa y muy buen servicio“

“Awesome taco truck that's tucked away. My new local favorite. Their al pastor is amazing, and their super burritos are top notch (also only $10 at the time of this review). Make sure you have cash or Venmo because they don't take card.“

“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!“

“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 one of my favorite taco trucks. I stumbled upon it by accident.

I was looking for another taco truck, and this one was way better.

They exceeded my expectations. I ordered a burrito since most places don't make the bowl.

I gutted it and ate it. It tasted so good. Thankfully, my gluten allergy isn't so severe, so it's okay if there's some contamination.

They offer a free bag of chips with the order. That was a nice surprise.

The drinks are priced fairly.

The employees are extra friendly and go above and beyond in making the tacos and the burritos. There are so many other items in the menu, but my favorite is the asada tacos. Asada on everything, please.“

“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.“

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

“Tacos Deliciosos!!!! Salsa verde TO DIE FOR.... will definitely come here again.“

“This place is great! I'm ?? and grew up with the authentic stuff cooked up by my folks, so I'm pretty picky about my fave Mexican food. That said, this place has pupusas and tortas that remind me of home, they're so good. The meat's well-seasoned, toppings are balanced well, and the prices are fair all around. I can easily see myself becoming a regular here.“

“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.“

“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 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

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

“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.“

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

“This is seriously one our New Favorite Taco place! The Tacos are so authentic and the salsa is also spicy and good too. They add one tostada of beans at every order as a bonus and the price is just unreal. We arrived late so we couldn’t try the quesadillas, but definitely coming back to try them.100/10 para los tacos al pastor la verdad.“

“My favorite taco truck. Latest review said they serve very badly, but it’s entirely false from my perspective. I love this truck because of how great it consistently is(the gordita with Al pastor is incredible).I’m reviewing because the location is fenced off and I’m curious where they moved to. Will be returning to this page again soon to find out. Must. Find. Them….“

“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.“

“I ordered the alambre sabroson, chicken, bell peppers onions and cheese. It was excellent. Big portion size, too. They serve with yummy small corn tortillas. I took my food to go because the tables were sticky. Other than that, it's so good!“

“Benn going here for a while. Great place“

“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..“

“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.“

“This is what you call mexican food. this are authentic street tacos the best!!! #TacosElGordito“

“Great tasting tacos, enchiladas, burritos - and excellent value. Pastor, carne asada, camarones, tripas-yes, yes, yes, yes! Good, fast, friendly service. Parking can be tricky at Chevron, so park at McD's. They're only open until 5pm, so get your taco fix early.“

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

“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.“

“Best barbacoa in the bay! It’s a regular for my fam. We had a birria seca with their delicious salsas and endless tortillas, an order of enchiladas and an order of tacos dorados de adobera. It was delicious!! Family own and local. 100% recommended!“
