Famosa Taqueria

Its new years eve, every single place I want to go to is either closed or not at the spot. I was just driving around and stumbled across this location. We ordered 2 tripas, 2 asada, and 2 pastor and a carne asada super burrito. Tacos were regular, however it was seasoned perfectly. Salsa bar was good, I personally liked the orange, red and then green. Prices were reasonable in this state of economy.Super burrito was amazing, might be my go to spot for burritos. This would been 5 starts but they forgot one of our quesabirria tacos, which was ok because we texted him and he said he will take care of us next time. Eddy was great! Might be our regular spot now.

The photos on DoorDash looked appealing, so I wanted to give this place a try. I ordered the California burrito (birria), a bacon-wrapped hot dog, and 2 sides of jalapeno poppers. The burrito was really good, filling, and the birria was tender but a bit dry for my liking. The bacon-wrapped hot dog was ok. The bun wasn't toasted and because it was wrapped for a to-go / delivery order, it was smooshed. They forgot my 2nd order of jalapeno poppers. Famosa did not complete the order thoroughly. Since the bag was tied pretty tightly, there was no way the driver could have checked to confirm if all the items were present. Glad I tried it but nothing makes me want to go back.

I hate to do this but people need to know. I ordered a carnitas burrito, and it was one of the worst things I've ever eaten. It was super greasy and had such a bad flavor, I only took one bite and had to spit it out and throw it away. I'm not picky, so for me to have this reaction says a lot. As a matter of fact, I can't remember ever eating something this terrible, and I've been to over a dozen countries and have eaten a lot of diff food. I feel bad leaving this review cuz they were nice and the dining area looked neat and welcoming. I'll never come back.Stay as far away from the carnitas as possible. One thing I'll say tho is the burrito was HUGE, I could have split it with my wife and we both would be full. Such a shame, hopefully they see this and workout whatever the problem is with the carnitas.

I looked up for birria places and restaurants on DoorDash and I can't believe that this is what I received not only was it all it was a lot of grease. It was absolutely disgusting. I'm very disappointed. I would never order from here again. Like who would serve this.

I stay ordering from here on DoorDash. Usually my go to for Birria but this was my first time at their physical location! They had some cute decor up and a tent to cover all the seating! Parking is limited since they share a lot with a car shop. Staff was so kind and service was quick. Food is always tasty here!

I always call in for my orders, and their prices and food are awesome. I always go for the California Burrito which is I'd say is in the top 5 of the best burritos in San Jose. They also have birria tacos that are pretty good. I recommend you check them out. 10/10.

It was pretty good here! I got the California Burrito with some consome on the side. The consome was filled with more meat than broth which was a little weird to me, but it tasted good nonetheless. The burrito was delicious but a bit dry. Will definitely consider coming again!

Checked this place out because of some social media post. My friends and I tried :birria ramen (1/5) : Only one friend tried this but she couldn't finish it because she felt it was that bad quesabirria quesadilla (3/5) : My friends noted that this usually comes with consomme, but this place didn't include it and sold it on the side for another $3 that I wasn't willing to pay. The meat was juicy and tender, but I wasn't getting much flavor unless I ate the quesadilla with a bunch of lime and salsa.Famosa fries (5/5) : super crispy fries and generous with all the toppings and meat, I would get this if I could order only one item off their menuchurros (5/5) : crispy (but not too crispy) on the outside, warm and chewy but still fluffy on the insideI would definitely come back to try their tacos, horchata, and get some more fries. The workers were chill and there's a lot of street parking available.

The food here is great super tasty and delicious. Good service. With enough space to park.

I saw an Instagram reel asking people on the street what the best taqueria in San Jose was and no one said Famosa Taqueria. BUT it is in fact the best taqueria in San Jose. My go to orders rotate between the al pastor tacos, quesabirria, and famosa fries/nachos.
