Tacos Montero

Food is good but daaaaaaaaaamn, the process of actually getting your food takes forever and a day!! I stopped by Tacos Montero for some late night eats and although there were other customers, the wait time for receiving my order didn't add up.Purchases:-Asada Super Burrito-Asada Regular Burrito-Tacos [asada, & lengua]Tacos were better than the burrito. Burritos contained more fillers than I would have liked and the thick center of flour tortilla could have been omitted. As mentioned above, food isn't bad but I can't say the drive and the wait was really worth it. 3 stars but I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here.

I stumbled upon this place by accident after picking up some banh mi across the street. Ordered the cabeza tacos and hands down best tacos in all of San Jose and Santa Clara! From the freshly made tortilla, to the juicy and well seasoned meat, flavorful salsa and warm friendly smile from the lady that took my order. I had an absolutely wonderful experience! Note, it's cash only and can get pretty busy which is understandable!

I like it. This place is right in front of a liquor store so I'd be mindful of your belongings. Parking is also scarce. I came here after finding out that Spartan's was closed and my friend said this place is always open on holidays, so that's nice! Close by is the Grand Century / Vietnam Town plaza. I ordered 2 Carne Asada tacos and 1 large horchata. I found it nice how there's a self serving station so you can choose your toppings and how much you want. There are also tables and seating options right in front of the truck, but it is limited. The tacos were super soft and the meat was seasoned well. 10/10 for the horchata! I enjoyed every sip!

The food is so good!It is a taco truck on the corner in a parking lot so parking is limited. There are a few tables and chairs outside. They have a salsa bar with onions, cilantro, salsa. The green and red was my favorite. The orange was too spicy for me.We didn't wait too long even though they were really busy.We ordered the below:Mulita asada: it's like a tostada sandwich. the steak was so tender but had a nice crisp on the outside. The tortillas are freshly made. This was the first time I tried one and it now my new favorite!Carnitas taco: I am picky with carnitas and I loved it! Good flavor, tenderness, and a nice crispy outside. Asada torta: it wasn't my favorite and probably won't order it again. It wasn't terrible, just not my favorite.Horchata: one of my favorites. It's not too grainy and is creamy!

Highest volume taco truck in SJ I have seen. 3 people constantly working in the truck plus separate prep in the liquor store. Next to a liquor store. Plus is you can have a beer with spicy food. Minus is it is the focal point for homeless and vagrants especially when govt. checks come out. Also next to one of the busiest car traffic intersections so there is a constant wind or breeze. Temps at least 10 degrees colder sitting when eating. Not a good area. Most people are scared of the general homeless population and eat in their car. The key is the self serve salsa bar. Load it up with onions and salsa. Get the hot/sour/spicy effect all at once. Cool off with a radish slice. A couple tablespoons of salsa isn't enough to feel the heat. Need to add a couple scoops from the salsa bar. Add onions and cilantro. 4 different salsas. Nopales tacos/burritos. Inflation affecting the prices. Used to be all nopales in the nopales tacos now it is a mix of onion and nopales.Dont see cactus or pork skin at most taco places.

I ordered four tacos with a side of beans(for my girlfriend, I hate beans).I get my order and the beans are inside my tacos.I Asked if they can fix the order and lady just shrugs then I ask if I can at least have the side order of beans and she asked for $5. Like I did something wrong...Great food but horrible service I'll be going to tacos el compa now for my fresh tortillas....

3.5 stars overall but rounding up for their awesome homemade corn tortillas! They were still busy at 2:30pm on a Saturday, and it was about 15 minutes for my order at that time. I ended up trying the Asada, Al Pastor & Carnitas Tacos ($3/each, https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=a9xolwsjCqhkEGMfMQMr_g&userid=76vIFZcC7owykCBjMfGVXg): The carnitas was surprisingly the favorite, since it was so tender. I thought the al pastor and asada were good, but not great, and both could have used a little more char and flavor. However, the homemade corn tortillas were really the star of the show- they were crispy on the outside but still soft and fluffy on the inside with a subtle chewiness to them. SO fresh and delicious! Also, these tacos were giant, and a great value for the price- none of those tiny "street" tacos that a lot of other food trucks are selling. They had two different types of salsa, an orange salsa and a green salsa. The orange salsa was nice and spicy, and the green had a more mild heat. I appreciated the slices of fresh radish to cool down from the spicy salsas! I will be back for more carnitas tacos, and to give some of the other meats a try. Outdoor seating was available, and they set up a covered area with tables and chairs in front of the food truck. Parking was easy to find at that time, since there were still spots in the lot they share with the liquor store.

Bought 7 tacos and they won't even give me ONE sauce container I actually will use. Asked for a container to put some green salsa inside because all she gave me was the orange sauce which I don't eat and she said you only can put some on top..... I'm not eating them right away that's why I got them to go.. Definitely a rude older lady w broken English. Would I come back? No, only if I'm starving and this is really my last choice of any type of food.
