Taqueria San Jose

Tacos here were ok. Carnitas a little too fatty for my liking, but flavor was good on the buche. Lengua was ok as well. Thought there was a salsa bar here, but must be mistaken. That would have earned this run of the mill taqueria one more star.

Another one of my favorites in the Fruitvale. I've had almost everything on the menu and the delicious flavors keep me coming back. Their tacos are loaded with meat. Their portions are pretty hefty too. Parking might be a bit of a challenge depending on the time of day but it's well worth it if you have to walk a bit. Everything is cooked to order so your food will be hot and fresh.

The ambiance is nice where you just order and sit. Lots of space and you can go outside in the patio and there's an ice cream place next door. Food is pretty above average Mexican food. Portions and size are good and is reasonably priced. The only complaint I have is they just put too much tomato and onions in the guac. I like it more plain.

If we are talking purely bang-for-buck, over-sized, budget-friendly, old school burritos, Taqueria San Jose is all those things. Located about 3 minute walk from Fruitvale Bart station on International Blvd, this taqueria has a large dining area both indoor and outdoor seating is available. Far from glamorous but if you are looking for glamorous, you probably wouldn't be coming to the Fruitvale neighborhood. Ordering is simple, just order, pay via credit card (50 cent charge) or cash, and food will be ready in less than 10 minutes.Like I mentioned previously, the size of the burritos here along with the price makes this taqueria the last of the Mohicans. Most taquerias are reaching unreasonable prices like gasoline. While the quality of meat may not be top quality, I think all the ingredients made for a decent quality burrito. I'm a fan of Taqueria San Jose.

Customer service excelente and fresh food hot Friendly , polite and the restaurante always clean

Best super burritos been coming since college days the quality is the same. The owners are still there!

I love the food and the people and i've been going there for years , but let's be real. The neighborhood is a little sketchy. Parking is difficult. It's not always the cleanest looking. The food is good and the portions are generous. The al pastor is great. If you are comfortable in East Oakland with all its problems, then definitely give it a try.

I used to love this place been coming here since 2001. Its so rundown now and no longer a family spot. Smh Oakland is all the way gone

I've been going to this place since high school. Food is always on point, and customer service is excellent. You will not be disappointed when eating here. The food is made with love. I miss the salsa bar. Ohh that salsa Verde so so good. I will continue to come here for as long as they are here.

Best al pastor burritos Best tacos and agua de Jamaica. I been going to this taqueria for over 20 years
