" My experience at Tacos San Jose was rather disappointing. While I’ve heard great things about their food, I found my meal to be lukewarm and not very flavorful. The service was okay, but the staff seemed overwhelmed during the lunch rush. I was hoping for a superior experience based on the reputation, but it sadly did not meet my expectations. With so many options nearby, I’m unsure if I would choose to go back. " (*Curated Review*)

" The ambiance might not be fancy, but the food speaks volumes! The tacos al pastor are flavorful and ample, just the way I like them. The meat is tender, and the salsa adds a nice kick. A few friends and I arrived at lunch, and while it was crowded, we were able to find seats. Service was fast and friendly, which made the experience even better. Overall, I would say this is a gem for authentic tacos! " (*Curated Review*)

" Tacos San Jose is not just a food truck; it’s a taste of home for many! The barbacoa here is juicy and rich, and the consomé is just perfect. It’s always a joy to dig into a plate of delicious authentic tacos—a real treat! I do recommend going in small groups, though, as space can be limited during peak hours. However, the quality of the food is always what brings me back. Highly recommend for anyone missing authentic Mexican cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" Overall, I had a wonderful experience at Tacos San Jose. The tacos tasted fresh; especially loved the seasoning on their al pastor. The staff was friendly and quick on their feet. I love the no-frills vibe of the food truck, and I truly feel that reflects the authenticity of the food. One note: finding parking can be a challenge during peak hours, so keep that in mind! " (*Curated Review*)

" Simply put, the barbacoa at Tacos San Jose is some of the best in the Bay Area. It has the rich, smoky flavor that brings me memories of home. I appreciate the effort they put into maintaining authentic recipes. Unfortunately, my one complaint is with the limited seating space; it can feel cramped at times, but the food always makes it worthwhile. If you're a fan of authentic Mexican food, just ignore the slight discomfort. I'll be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have been a loyal customer since it opened, and I have never been disappointed! The barbacoa is always authentic and delicious, easily one of the best I've had outside of Mexico. The quesadillas are superb, especially the ones with cheese and pumpkin flowers. It’s a family-friendly atmosphere where you can enjoy a casual meal with your loved ones. My only advice is to get there early as the best dishes do sell out quickly. I love that it feels like home here, with flavors that remind me of my childhood. It's truly a gem! " (*Curated Review*)

" The first time I visited Tacos San Jose, I was blown away by the flavor of their food. Every dish tasted fresh, and the barbacoa was heavenly! However, I must note that lately, I've felt the portions have shrunk a bit, and I've had to remind them about my orders a few times. It seems like the quality remains solid, but the little things need improvement. I'm willing to give it a chance since the flavors are too good to just walk away from! " (*Curated Review*)
