Araujo's Mexican Grill

Araujo's was so good! My partner and I already want to go back. Staff is very friendly and helpful. The space is huge so great place to bring friends or family. We got the Super Burrito, Super Tacos, and Carne Asada Fries. The meat was well seasoned and cooked perfectly. Juicy and tender but not too tough. The ingredients are fresh and they really pack the food with meat and veggies! My favorite was the carne asada fries. The meat was so so good. The fries were different from the usual type of fries but it made them better! Highly recommend coming here for a quick bite. They're so good!

Horrible customer service !!!! Ive been here multiple times before and never has my food been horrible until today The food was dripping of grease I complained and asked nicely that i don't like how my food is and some lady with a stupid bow on her head gave me an attitude she just kept ignoring me She didn't even want to give me her managers information Never coming Again !

I ordered the shrimp burrito, added pinto beans and subtracted rice. It's a significant sized burrito. But, for nearly 18 dollars (not including tip) it should be! The shrimp were properly cooked but unseasoned. In fact the entire burrito lacked seasoning. The vegetables were raw (onions bell pepper) and the slices of tomato were mushy inside. I honestly have never had a burrito with raw bell peppers before ..... it wasn't horrible but can't say it's something I'd look to eat again. The burrito itself was so poorly wrapped that after two bites it literally unraveled in my hand spilling its contents from its bottom all over the foil and paper plate they served it on. Thank goodness for the Salsa bar ... I only got the Verde salsa which is my favorite salsa and I generally practically drink the stuff. The Verde salsa was ok... not much kick but it did help with the absolute blandness of the 'burrito' which was now more like and shrimp plate with a soggy tortilla. It was not the worst shrimp burrito I've ever had. I'm not ste that's praise but it is true. The Inside is ver modern looking metal chairs etc. and a TV screen the size of an entire wall towed the back. I initially sat by the window but on this extremely vild day one of the workers kept waking in and out talking on their phone letting the freezing air in so I moved by the tiled wall. Where unfortunately the tile was kinda gross with smears of dried food that had not been cleaned off. So... that was unpleasant. The staff taking the order and then giving you your food were quick and seemed efficient if not friendly. Maybe it was early in the lunch hour and they were not fully prepared for the few of us that had wandered in. Maybe it was an off day ... it wasn't terrible but not exactly good. I'm not sure I'd go out of my way to come here again to give them another try. Perhaps it's their meat offerings that are getting all the great reviews... perhaps if I come back I'll bring hubby to find out. I'm not sure 3 stars fits the experience but it's not exactly 2 either.... Another instance 1/2 stars are needed.

Solid taco spot in Berryessa! We ordered on DoorDash since they had decent lunch promotions happening.I ordered:+ Al Pastor Super Taco (4/5): Tortillas were a biiiit soggy, but the al pastor was delicious and flavorful! + Carne Asada Fries (4/5): Super surprised by how much I enjoyed this! The fries were uniquely shaped, and were SOOO crispy even by the time we got to eat it. The carne asada was good, but I felt like it was missing some sort of sauce. After a while, it started to taste a bit dry.

At this location, I've only had take-out but I've been to their other locations before so I know the Mexican food here is good. Huge plus bc this location is a lot closer to me. The first time around, I ordered carne asada fries and it was so good! For 2 people, it definitely was a shareable portion but bc of how tasty it was, we were wanting more. I like how unique the fries were cut/shaved, it's almost like shaving the skin off an apple in a spiral motion. I also like how fresh the pico de gallo and avocado toppings were. Unfortunately, 2nd time around it was a huge dud. The carne asada meat was well over cooked and dry, the fries were cut thicker so it was very potatoey, and there wasn't enough sour cream. We also got a carne asada torta, which was mid. The buns were a bit stale and again the carne asada meat was dry. Hoping it was just an off day and looking forward to dining in to get a better experience. They also have a huge tv which is perfect for game days.

When you're craving Mexican food, check out this authentic spot--Araujo's. The store has a modern design and is very clean. The staff were friendly, and the service was quick. I tried their street tacos, the regional favorite super mulita, specialty nachos, and house-made flan. Everything was delicious, and what I loved most was that they made everything fresh--from the tortillas to the grilled meat to the drinks. You can watch them carefully prepare each dish in the open kitchen. Don't miss out!

From Fresh housemate agua fresca, fresh ingredients, and actual charcoal grilled carne asada, they make sure to do everything the right way! Even their mirrors and sinks are hand made! Their Super Taco came with all the works and each bite tastes like soft heaven with the meat melting in my mouth! The Carne Asada fries were the best i've ever had! They must be using magic because their fries stayed crispy on the outside and soft on the inside even after taking it home to eat! And their super burrito had so much color and flavor I debated making the 2 hour drive just to get another the next day! The service here was so welcoming and the food was so delicious I'm already telling all my friends in the area this is a must go to spot!

Went there on a Sunday morning due to there great yelp reviews. Unfortunately this place let us down big time. As we walked in we were impressed with the decor but that was it. Cashier who took our order was very unwelcoming almost as if we were bothering her by being there. The food was very unauthentic and very small protein portions based on price. As a regular of Mexican restaurants in San Jose my family and I will stay away from this place.

Out of all the Araujo's in the San Jose area, this is by far my all time favorite one. The staff here are amazing. I love the fact that the lady who always takes my phone order as soon as I get off work, already knows my name by the time I complete my order. I find it cute and hilarious when she writes Ross on the receipt vs. Rose. Nonetheless, she is the sweetest which is why I never correct her. It's ridiculously clean and bright in here. They have a different ambiance vs the other locations. The open sauce bar, and the fact that you can select as many sauces as you'd like, I like the way they give this option as oppose to them just giving you a max of 4 small sauce cups. At this location, you can pick and choose as you please. Plus you can even get more radishes and lemons. I think the other places removed that option.My order every time:Two Street Tacos de Carne Asada w/ the onion and cilantro.Sometimes I'll mix it up and ask for one Carne asada and the other tripa... depends on my mood. lol. 10/10And then two Sopes de Carne Asada, one sin frijoles (no beans).I'm not a bean person, but my BF is. the Sopes here are the best amongst all of the Araujo's. Alsoooooo, I just want to say, my BF now loves Sopes ever since I introduced him to it from this particular establishment. I call this an infinite win. 20/10!1 Carne Asada Super Burrito with no Cheese (My BF's go to) he rates a 8/10 all the time. Surprisingly enough, this will always be his favorite place to order so I don't really get the score. ‍I'm a fan of their consistency and always taking care of me. I love talking to the staff especially the ladies at the register.

Adding to my last review. Manager offered doordash comp over Yelp for all to see, but no response after I sent the requested email (very clearly clarifying I got the wrong order).So Nathan C., don't offer promises publicly for bad services and never follow through.
