I get burritos for the family here every once in a while. We used to go to Sophia's for burritos until it closed. Los Gordos burritos are more expensive and don't taste as good in my opinion. This puzzles me because Mexican food (rice, beans, meat, cheese, guac, sour cream, lettuce, tortilla) seems to me pretty difficult to screw up. I always get the chicken burrito and it's pretty bland as far as taste goes. Another thing I don't quite like is that the burritos are very wet. The juice from the chicken and other stuff makes the tortilla soggy and it's just a mess trying to eat that thing with your hands. I always manage to get it down but I feel like I need a shower afterwards. I'm not a very picky eater so for me to say it doesn't taste great and it's a pain to eat is a big deal. The salsa is good and the chips are good also (but I always got more from Sophia's).

Read moreWow. What a terrible experience. My mother and I both ordered our food with modifiers. I asked for sour cream to be put on my burrito, and my mom asked for poblano peppers on her tacos. We were charged extra for both and they didn't add them.

My street style taco I ordered was so slathered in some kind of sauce it was soaked through and falling apart in the 30 seconds it took it open and start eating.
Bad food and incredibly rude service. What a...
Read moreOne of my favorite taquerias. Yes it's a 5 min drive from my house and the next closest taquerias are in Watsonville, but I actually used to stop by for dinner on the way home to Watsonville some times and I used to live in San Jose. This is still one of my favorites. I have a hard time choosing anything besides the nachos because you get so much and they are so delicious. When I want something different I'll get an enchilada, taco combo. The price is really hard to beat. I've heard their burritos are amazing, a ton of people order them. I've had their breakfast burritos those are super delicious as well. The service is really good too, the people are very kind, and the food comes out so unbelievably fast....
