Antojitos El Burrito Crazy — Restaurant in San Jose

TL:DR super burrito is painfully bland, tacos are just average, pupusa is excellent, crunchy taco is pretty good. Don't bother with the asada, it's average. Suadero is the best meat here, and the carnitas is also pretty good. Would still rather go to La Vic's.

For late night Mexican downtown, it's pretty decent. On different days of the week they have specials like $1 tacos on Monday! I wish this place was here when I was at SJSU in 2014.

Pricing here is spectacular. On the Monday deal I got 2 asada tacos, 2 al pastor tacos, a crunchy taco with suadero, a pupusa, and horchata for only $15!

Super burrito is ultra bland and NEEDS salsa to be edible. Despite having cheese and sour cream in it you could taste it at all. It just tasted of beans, rice, and onion/cilantro. Skip it.

The crunchy taco is pretty good. TONS of meat, whole avocado, cheese, sour cream, and a crunchy yet perfectly flakey shell that seems to be fried just for your order. For $4 it's a steal and delicious. I got this with suadero which is a premium meat, like brisket. The suadero was excellent! Fatty, tender, and tasty, though not as good as the bests places I've had it that do it with crunchy edges. It was the best meat I tried by far, though.

The regular tacos were okay and IMO nothing special, but they probably wouldn't disappoint most people. The asada was pretty standard and the al pastor was also pretty good, but nothing stellar.

The pupusa I got with cheese and chicharron. The pupusa was one of the best I've had, the cheese was delicious with charred edged, the dough was masterfully done without being too doughy, and the chicharron was tender.

Horchata was also very good. I think I prefer mine in the sweeter side but this one was still great.

Also, they have three salsas, red, green, and orange. Red was my least favorite, a bit bitter. Green was excellent and spicy with some tang. Orange was by far the best.. their orange sauce is the closest orange sauce I've had to La Victoria's orange sauce I've had anywhere else.

Overall, I liked this place for the late night availability, price, and overall experience. It's way better than the...
