Here's your Yelp review:I stumbled upon Flamingo's Taqueria in San Jose by pure chance while walking across the street during a break between water polo games at Harker School. What a find!The moment I walked in, the chef behind the grill greeted me warmly and asked what I was craving. I mentioned a quick breakfast, and he whipped up a custom breakfast burrito with chorizo, egg, potatoes, salsa, and veggies. Let me tell you--this burrito was phenomenal. The ingredients were fresh, perfectly cooked, and bursting with flavor. It's hands down one of the best breakfast burritos I've had in a long time.If you're in the area and looking for authentic, delicious, and thoughtfully made food, I highly recommend Flamingo's Taqueria. It's a hidden gem that deserves all the love!

Got the breakfast burrito for $13 and although it's on the smaller side in comparison to other restaurants, the flavor was great! It's definitely on the dryer side and I would ask for an extra cup of hot sauce on the side.

Amazing place to get tacos. I would recommend the tacos here with their salsa. It's very delicious and a good balance of flavor and they pack on the meat. I forgot to take photos because my girl and I ate it so fast. The service was amazing the waitress treated us like guests in a home. It was fairly empty for mid day so will definitely recommend this place to friends and neighbors since little to no wait!

I stopped off here this morning to pick up an early meal. I was the only there for a short period and the food was prepared quickly and I was out quickly. I do wish the staff were a little less grumpy though, my mood was down 20% after that interaction. The food was a good portion and decent.

I go here for the Al Pastor torta. I get a Tamarindo Jarritos with it, and it legit makes my whole day. The torta is so good. I'm a gringa, so I don't know how the al pastor compares to other places or styles, but I love it.Small business run by a chef and waitress. They work hard and deserve the community's support. Good, clean small joint that cares about its customers.I live and work nearby, and I love that this reliable spot is open every day from 9:00 to 6:00, so I can come by any day for lunch!

Good breakfast burrito with roasted chili salsa. She can make anything to order. Veggie burrito w spinach, potatoes, onions, bell peppers. One of the better burritos. No rice or bean filler. Roasted chili salsa spicy. Homestyle cooking. Everything made from scratch except the tortillas. Would go back for more of the vegetarian dishes. A spinach enchilada sounds good if she can make it. Not on the menu. $20 after tip. 3$ coffee in a mug not paper cup. Like an old school sit down diner w hearty Mexican food. Got the flu from here.

I tried the chicken regular tacos and thought it was decent. The meat maintained moisture and was well seasoned. It came with corn tacos and the typical fixings (onions, cilantro, etc.). I asked for a side of their green salsa, which had a pretty good kick. There is plenty of parking in the plaza. The food was prepared quickly and service was prompt.

Located right next door to Lions market for some reason I had the hardest time spotting their sign "no joke" anyhooo wifey and I managed to find them. When I first walked I noticed the place looks unkempt, normally I would have walked out at this point but after looking at all posted food pictures I decided to give it a go. Now the lady that took our order seem very stern, no smile and was very direct. I ordered a chorizo and egg with potatoes and cheese breakfast burrito, I asked her if i could have bacon with it? She said... no, one meat only, beacon extra. I was thinking to myself, self what did you get yourself into? I just smiled and said that is fine with me, please add beacon. I also ordered a horchata drink. A couple minutes later she came back to the table with some chips and watery salsa and the Horchata. "This review sounds like it's going downhill doesn't it? Actually here's where everything completely turns around.I took a sip of the horchata and my taste buds exploded!! It had such a beautiful cinnamon taste (little on the sweeter side but sooo good" honestly I don't think I've ever had Horchata that was even remotely as good as this! About 10 minutes later my breakfast burrito showed up cut in half. With a side of the same watery salsa. when I added the salsa to the burrito it had a really mild smoky flavor, simply delicious. And my breakfast? Oh...... my..... gosh!! Everything about it was freaking amazing!! The big chunks of potatoes tasted better than the best home fries! The burrito had a light chorizo flavor with a beautiful bacon aftertaste, and was perfectly juicy. It has been years since I've had A breakfast burrito so good, I'm talking like over 30 years!! Yah man, that good. I think the lady over herd me having a food-gasm. Yah man I was making some noise!! I must have told her 5 times how good it was, she just smiled the shot me that stern look again lol, I really think she's a softy on the inside because she asked me if I wanted A refill on my Horchata or if I wanted any water? I said no as I was quite satisfied plus I couldn't see cuz myzz eyezzz were still rolled up in the back of my head C; bottom line is I would give them 5 if they spend some time cleaning the place and tidying up a bit. But the food 5 stars all day every day!!
