Service really bad, I had to order twice because they don't know how to take orders, I specific said "cheese and carnitas" on a quesadilla. So I had to go back to get what I asked for, they told me they'll re-make it. And I order another taco with only carnitas and cheese, and there's only carnitas on it. Waste of time and gas.

Went there today with my adult son as he wanted fish tacos. They were good, very crispy fish. I had a lengua super taco, it was exactly how a lengua super taco should be. Got chips and salsa to get us started, and drank jamiaca, which was also correct. Service was friendly and reasonably quick, given that we were there at 12:20 and they were fairly busy. Classic taqueria

This place went through a change for the better. The Mexican Seafood is delish. Very well done and made. Fish tacos were bigger than the other places I have Yelped and they use flour tortilla to make them a little bigger than the competitors out there. The tacos were filled with Tilapia fish and lettuce and tomato and onions with graded cheese and hot sauce it was a NOM NOM visit. I also tried the shrimp tostada and it was a FAT tostada with all the right fillings. In the South Side of San Jose. Right across the street from Santa Teresa High School and next to the famous Indian Market and the Bellagio Hair Nail Salon for the ladies. In a small plaza with Round Table and some Dentist Doctors on the corner.

The fish tacos and shrimp tostada were delicious. Muy Buena la comida! The lady in charge was quick and fast to my questions and service. I was impressed with the facility inside. It was clean and the small tables and chairs were also available outside. The fish tacos were FAT with Tilapia fish and lettuce with onions and tomato's with guacamole sauce and graded cheese. The real difference was the flour tortilla they used. Most facilities use the small corn tortillas. The flour tortilla was a medium size so the tacos were bigger than those small tiny tacos they sell at the Taqueria competitors. The shrimp tostada was also very good. It tasted fresh and cool for the 90 degree temperature outside. I will return with the wife and daughter and her boyfriend. I do recommend you try it out if you are ever in this area of South San Jose.

The food is fairly decent but the service not so much. Very slow, regardless if you are picking up or dining in. The portions vary in size every single time, by a lot. Here is the real kicker; if you ask for an extra small cup of salsa they charge you $2 for it. A cup that contains maybe 3 tablespoons of salsa. Simply ridiculous.

The cabeza was terrible. In a dark, thick sauce which I never had with cabeza taco. They were not good at all. Pastor was ok.

Will give 2 stars since burrito was ok but really was annoyed at the fact that I ordered a regular burrito and said no sour cream but I then asked to add pico de gallo and was surprised to be charged extra for the pico de gallo. Will not be returning. Too many other taquerias around that I can go to when I am in the mood for Mexican food.

This was My First full meal Here: Ordered Enchiladas Plate, (3) One with Chese, Two With Beef carne asada; Rice and Refried Beans, with a Lettuce Garnish, green Salsa brought to Me by MILENA. She took My Initial Order: i Also Requested a Half Liter of COKE in a glass bottle from MEXICO { a glass with no ice, and a glass with water and lemon or lime, and Straws}i additionally asked for a second bottle of COKE, and a Side of Refried Beans. It was All Very Satisfying! My Server MILENA, was Pleasant, Attentive, and Personable; And Welcomed Me to Return Soon. Best Regards, asr FONZIE Alfonso S.Rodriguez Jr { i Do Plan to Return to Try Their Chile Relleno, Menudo, and Taco Plates!! ☝??Kid-friendliness: From All Appearances, i'd say it's adequate for Families, due to Sufficient Seating, and Menu Items.Parking: There's Adequate Parking Spaces on the North and East sides, and if necessary, Directly North, just in front across the Two Way drive.

Ask for no onions....still got onions. Spent about the same as other places. At least for my order nothing too special. My son recommended the place.. I'm used to the other "Super" place, but gave this a try because it's closer to house. It's okay. Spent 38 for 2 tacos/ 2 super burrito yeah prices have gone up....I should learn how to cook

Best local taqueria, eat here all the time. Phone orders or eat in, service is always friendly. Ambiance is cheesy as well.

Tacos tacos tacos! Was in the mood for tacos and wanted to try a new spot! What can I say, it was tacos and guacamole. The tacos were decent and hot. The onion and cilantro topping was good, but there was something missing. Like the meat was not caramelized or just lacked flavor. On to the next place to try out!

Overall pretty good. Best Mexican food in this part of Santa Teresa. It would be perfect with some more seasoning on the meat.

Got this on a whim while my in laws were visiting. I ordered the meat fries (Al Pastor) and they were delicious. I really liked that. They didn't skimp out on the guacamole sauce. I ordered extra cilantro and extra onions as those are two of my favorite things to top asada fries with. The meat was nice and tender and though I won't lie, it could've been a little bit juicier, the flavor wasn't lacking at all. I ordered through DoorDash so in regards to service the only thing I can comment on is that their options were well displayed and the descriptions were informing for first time customers. I can't comment on the ambiance of the restaurant itself but I would definitely like to try it in person as the in-laws as well as myself were all satisfied with our food. I also ordered two kid's quesadillas and I personally feel the size of the quesadillas are decent for the price point which doesn't happens often these days! Overall the food was delicious, we were satisfied and I'd love to dine in soon at this spot :)
