Mar Y Sol Taqueria — Restaurant in San Jose

I went here today because of that review about the best chicken burrito the person ever had. I've been craving soup. But really good soup. I ordered the chicken soup and an asada burrito for my son. The soup did Not disappoint. I was pleasantly surprised from the moment I opened my bag just as my son was. His came with free chips and some salsas to choose from. Mine came with Mexican style chilli oil as well as a few other salsas and a lime. I LOVE chilli oil any Asian place I go I get some. This is the second Mexican place I've been to that makes some in house. It was a very nice surprise. Also a surprise was that the tortillas are also made in house. Third surprise was the amount of protein in the soup!! I had a drumstick and a part of a breast and wing! It also had: zucchini, bell pepper,onion, carrots, potatoes,corn, celery and a side of onion with cilantro and rice and a few tortillas. I am so happy with this soup. This place is a solid 5 star. My son's burrito was also really good. I'll be going there more. Oh! We also got the Jamaica. And sometimes they are too sweet but this place puts just the right amount of sugar so it's slightly tart but still slightly sweet. Perfect. Absolutely delicious flavors, excellent ingredients, good quality for price and authentic tasting recipes. The bathroom was nice and even had good choices of air...

I went to this place based on the reviews. I would give this a 11/10 for service if I could, and every review and rave about the service here is very well-earned. The waitress was very patient with me, explained for 10 minutes different items as I kept asking questions, made a suggestion based on my input and even threw a free side of beans when I asked. There was chips and salsa on the house. This is the kind of service that deserves a 15+% tip! I was blown away by how nice and kind she was though she was the only one at the counter, and she even checked later to ask how things were and if I wanted anything else. I ordered a simple stew, so don't have much of a reference point for more complex menu items, but I liked what I ate - it was a stew but flavorful and healthy and nutritious. Again, the world's best service and good food here. The ambiance is so-so - you wouldn't bring a date here, but it's good for casual dining.

The other thing I loved is next door had Zumba, and people were just dancing away in almost-dark. It was a reminder that it doesn't take much in life to be happy - kindness and dancing in the...

Fire. Straight fire. The chips and salsa straight cash. The heat is like 1/8 a jalapeno. This place specializes in seafood and I can definitely say that they in fact do. This is the best shrimp taco I've had here. The heat is mild like 1/32th. The red salsa on the burrito is like 1/4 of a jalapeno of heat. They stuff it very well. The carnitas are normal, nothing extravagant. The burrito stuffing is generous with plenty of meat and beans. I wasn't a big fan of the red salsa flavor wise, but the flavor were there. So you might really enjoy it but I was meh about it. The place itself is really clean, the food comes out pretty fast. You order everything at the counter. Not too much table service. The aqua fresca is refreshing. Definitely my favorite Mexican...
