Delicious as always. Great ambiance, very good service, great food, and the mariachi playing in the background. What else can I ask for? I have been coming to Tacos al Carbón for more than 20 years, and it was and is a bastion of Mexican food in San Jose. I couldn’t decide between Carne Asada and Seafood. So I had an Azteca Plate and had a side of a Filete de Pescado Empanizado (Breaded Fish Fillet). It was memorable! Can’t say enough of how much I like this place. Absolutely recommended.

Came here with my family and is very authentic. They have a large selection of Mexican dishes and the vibe is amazing if you come at night for live music, sports or just for a good time!

Came on a Saturday and it was decently busy. I was greeted by an amicable staff member next to a really big screen TV. The chicken enchiladas is were great and the chorizo was on point. Establishment was clean, lots of parking in the plaza parking lot.

We intended to go there for drinks and the Choriqueso. To our delight, it came with freshly made corn tortillas which were amazing

We came my son and I from San Francisco concert, and we see the Story Rd. Means food, and we sit outside the music super high and I’m aproaching to the waiters and request a table, and they send me a new waitress and take so long for but the guys to the band they offer food and service to them so quickly.

I liked the service here.. the waitress was attentive to my table and very helpful. The plate I ordered was the “mariachi” which was shrimp rolled in bacon and filled with cheese and jalapeño. I might check this place out again just to see what else they have on their menu..

We ordered Carne asada tacos al carbón. Handmade tortillas, deliciously seasoned meat, topped with shredded lettuce & fresh guacamole, generous portions. Ambiance is very festive, staff very friendly & attentive. Definitely will be returning to try the mariscada. Smelled & looked so delicious, I devoured the tacos before I thought of taking pictures.

Terrible, I will never go back or recommend this place. We wer a party of 5, we got 4 fajitas de camaron, 1 order de mariachi (camaron) and a bucket of modelos (6) and paid about $180. Out dishes had only 6 pieces of shrimp, we counted them. The fajitas was all onions and bell peppers. I was so dissapointed and embarrassed because I took my birthday person here and everyone was dissapointed and said they would never go back again. Don’t waste your money,

Food and service are okay. Prices are not inexpensive though. They have lots of out door seating which helps.
