" Tacos San Jose is a local treasure that shouldn't be missed! The food speaks for itself – every bite of the barbacoa oozes with flavor. The service can be friendly, though sometimes it feels like they could use a few more helping hands during rush hours. If you love authentic Mexican tacos, you will appreciate the quality here. Just be cautious about the wait time, as there can be lines, but I promise it's worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" An amazing experience! Tacos San Jose is definitely one of the best food trucks in the area. Their barbacoa has an authentic taste that, as a Mexican living abroad, makes me feel right at home. I couldn't get enough of the consomé either, it was comforting and packed with flavors. There was a bit of a wait, but considering how busy they were, it was expected. All in all, a delightful experience that has me looking forward to my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations based on the reviews, but my experience was a mixed bag. The barbecue tasted good, but the portions felt smaller than I anticipated, especially given the price. Service was acceptable but not particularly welcoming. If you're after genuine Hidalgo-style barbecue, it might meet your needs, but don’t expect luxury either. " (*Curated Review*)

" After several visits, I feel like the restaurant has both excelled and struggled inconsistently. Sometimes, the barbecue hits every note on authenticity; other times, I find it lacks the depth of flavor I came to expect. Service tends to vary; on a good day, they’re attentive, but on busy days, they can disappear into the fray. I still appreciate their effort in keeping traditional recipes alive, and I'll likely return to see if it can get back to form. " (*Curated Review*)

" A charming little food truck with big flavors! The aftertaste of the al pastor tacos is something to remember. The service was attentive, and we weren’t left waiting long for our orders. My only suggestion would be to add more outdoor seating as it does get crowded. Nonetheless, everything from the flavors to the ambiance is captivating. This is definitely a go-to spot for any taco lovers in the area! " (*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*)
