So I already should've known this taco spot all the way near Alviso wasn't going to be it but I had some hope since I did not see a bad rating.1. Customer Service- Staff seemed low. They weren't unfriendly but I didn't sense any good energy or upbeatness. Also, it would be a good gesture to ask what sauce you want on your food if you say you want everything on it like red or green not just put whatever they want. I did appreciate them adding a piece of lemon rabanos and onion at least.2. Food- Order 1- 3 Tacos de cabeza. Super mid. The meat wasn't the best quality. 3/10 compared to other favorite spots in san jose.Order 2- 1 "super taco" so this is on a bigger tortilla and has sour cream cheese and apparently lettuce? The way it looks is the way it tasted. It was pretty bad only 1/10 since it was edible. I expected something like what the super taqueria has a well done taco with high quality meat, beans, melted cheese, avocado. The one here was like a white washed taco like why don't they even melt the cheese? 3. Eating area is windy cold and there was like an HVAC fan unit next to the tables that was loud as hell too.This is just some feedback in case the owners want to step their game up and provide actual quality food and ambience. Would not recommend if you expect traditional mexican tacos. I think since the location is near alviso the target audience is for those that don't know about mexican food whatsoever.

I was craving some tacos, and the closest and cheapest one we could find was this place. I think this place was pretty good for the price, but it's a pretty sketchy-looking location if you come at night.We came here around 7:15pm for dinner on Thursday. I saw that the food truck was a little north of Top Golf beforehand, and I was already thinking about how people don't really go around that area. The streets have little to no lighting, but luckily the food truck was reasonably lit so we were able to spot it...in a large, empty, and dark parking lot. We ordered 9 regular tacos with a variety of asada (beef), cabeza (beef cheek), pastor (BBQ pork), pollo asado (grilled chicken), and carnitas (pork). There was a really cute fairy-light set-up in the back corner next to the truck with tables and seats. It felt safe and comforting as opposed to the rest of the parking lot, and we planned to eat there. However, as we were waiting for food, some guy came up and sat down saying how he wished he could have some tacos. Then he asked if we could buy him some tacos. My bf and I were both on edge so we walked away and decided to take the tacos back home. These tacos were pretty good at $2.75 per taco. That's relatively cheap compared to the $3 to $4 at other places. Presentation-wise, these tacos were plated beautifully, but the overlap between the tacos caused a bit of sogginess. They had also put the sauces onto the tacos instead of packing them separately which didn't help. Honestly, it's hard for me to tell certain tacos apart when they're all on one plate, but carne and cabeza are always my standouts. Cabeza especially is a little more fatty and rich. I will note that the carnitas was my least favorite. The meat wasn't chopped up as small and it was pretty dry as well. Another thing is that the food was a bit on the colder side despite being wrapped in foil and driving 5 minutes back home. Regardless, it's still a decent place. I'd just recommend you go during the day if they park up towards Top Golf.

Forever a fan of El Taco de Oro. My husband and the majority of my close friends are all from Alviso - so I have the pleasure of saying I've been a regular here for more than two decades.I've seen many changes happen during that time. And while I thoroughly enjoyed the quality and price of their tacos back then - they're still good enough to always swing by and grab some when I'm in town.I love their carne asada tacos con salsa verde. I'm also a big fan of their enchiladas verdes. Their salsa that comes with chips while you wait for your food in the restaurant is also very good. Not too spicy but has a nice kick to it.Their staff is always friendly and the restaurant always has good vibes, which I appreciate. I hope they'll be able to stick around with all the changes happening in town and around the area to make everything more upscale, my hopes is it'll bring them more business than ever. Like I said, I'm a forever fan and will continue to give them business for as long as they're open!Hope you all have a spec-taco-ular day!

Cheap eats series: We stopped by for lunch as it was super close to Top Golf. The prices are cheap--haven't seen tacos for less than $3 in a while! I got 2 asada and 1 pastor taco at $2.35 each. The sauce it comes with has a small kick of spice to it, but not too intense. Service was quick and the staff taking our orders was kind. In addition, seating space under a canopy was available on the side of the taco truck. Definitely will come here again! We paid with cash.Note: there was a small market right by the taco truck where we grabbed Jarritos and other snacks from!

Good food very similar to San Diego style. They have the the classic spices and flavors of a taqueria. Reasonable prices too. They have food trucks around so give them a try.

El Taco de Oro is parked every day in the corner of a 76 station on Calaveras Blvd. parking can be chore. there are 3 on the lot.offerings: the usual menu. tax included in pricing.eats: lengua (3), al pastor (2.75)-garnished with lime squeeze, radishes, jalepeno slices. not much salsa.-al pastor was prefried, not carved off the spit.-lengua was tender bits of tongue, fresh but not very tasty.*fast, friendly service, more juiciness would have been nice.3.5 stars.

Excellent tacos. The flavor is incredible. I tried the al pastor and carne asada tacos. Remember to ask for jalapeños.

I think they are a little dishonest about the pricing. on the yelp the menu still says $3 a taco but the actual menu here says $5.... then they charged us $5.20 a taco and they try not to give you the receipt so i feel like that's dishonest too. This place should be at least 2 dollar signs on the yelp page :/
