I was working from his room to stay busy but after 3PM, I was getting antsy. After Gavin was out of the recovery room and back to his room, it was after 5PM, so I went downstairs to get something to eat. I ordered a banh mi chay, an order of mozzarella cheese sticks, and a bag of shrimp chips. I didn't wait long for my order and was glad that they accept cards. I was able to stay on top of my religious dietary needs and enjoy my meal despite everything Gavin and I were going through. + friendly service' + The banh mi was delicious, the baguette was crunchy, filling savory + the mozzarella cheese sticks were very good and comforting, too An unfortunate way to enjoy a meal, but I appreciated it.

The banh mi charsiu was yummy as well. The bread was crispy, and the charsiu reminded me of my mom's cooking. The people were very friendly and nice. It was easy to talk to them. This is definitely a new favorite for the kids when we run into them again at festivals. I can't wait to try more of their menu, like the Philly cheesesteak sandwiches and their noodle dishes.

I was told this was the best taco place in San Jose so I dropped by on a Thursday night. It was…read morepretty slow since it was late at night. It's a non-descript taco truck with no signage and no menu, they just tell you what meats they have and you pick tacos or quesadillas. I ordered pastor, pollo, and cabeza. Pollo and pastor was pretty dry, cabeza was good. I had a bite of the brisket too and that was good. Overall I thought it was ok coming from LA. Maybe they just had a bad night--I would come back and do the pastor again because of the pineapple slices, but it wouldn't be my first pick. Also no radish and it's cash only, they take Venmo

The Service was fast and sweet. They only speak Spanish so it's super authentic. The ambiance was good enough for food that awesome.

It's clean and has a lot more space than the truck. Food might take longer because of the demanding service. Fried chicken is always consistent and leaves little room for improvement. This is always going to be a daily for me and I will continue to forever attend this place when I'm craving fried chicken.

First the good, Your favorites are still there and are just as good served across a counter as they were handed down from a food truck window. We split their sliders with Louisiana Rub and fries and loved them as we always have. Secondly, it was a bit slow on this Thursday night. I believe Jojo's Kooser road customers haven't found their new home. Third, some thoughts on the location. It's clean but utilitarian and basic. I'd love to see it get a little soul and perhaps provide more of a nod to the food truck past. Maybe also expand the menu with the larger kitchen? Jojo's still has the sandwiches we love and it will be fun to watch it grow into its new space. (Loved the Jeremiah and Corinthians references too. Appropriately hopeful)

If you are not in the mood for Latin cuisine, there are food trucks with burgers and dogs. Not the boring kind either. TACOS MI REYNITA was the truck we chose. I saw a few Tik Toks on them and was sold. Hubbybhad 3 Did a lap around the food trucks line up and cannot wait to return and try the others. Plenty of tables to enjoy your meal. The kids are happy in the bouncy house right in plain sight from your tables. We found a tortilla truck! Bought 1 lb of FRESH and hot corn tortillas. Located: a little one-way driveway right after the car lot flags. We missed it first time driving by and made a go around the block to try again: plenty of parking. Great collection of choices.

Today, I decided to order the Chicken Fajitas, and it completely exceeded my expectations. Without a doubt, it was the most delicious fajitas dish I have ever had. The chicken was perfectly seasoned, the vegetables were cooked just right, and all the flavors came together beautifully. Everything was cooked to perfection. The portion size was very generous, and the sides were fantastic. The guacamole, sour cream, Spanish rice, and black beans were all fresh, flavorful, and complemented the meal perfectly. I've always enjoyed the food here, but from now on the Chicken Fajitas will definitely be my regular order. Well-deserved 5 stars. Thank you, El Halal Amigos!

This was my very first visit to El Halal Mexican Restaurant in the heart of downtown Willow Glen,…read moreand I've been wanting to stop by for a while. I finally decided to give it a try after hearing about the restaurant from food reviewer Dave fiore text. As someone who absolutely loves tacos and is always on the hunt for great local taco spots, I was excited to see how this place compared to some of my favorites. I ordered four different tacos, and overall, they were pretty good. They weren't bad by any means, but they also didn't quite blow me away. The meat was cooked well, the tortillas were fresh, and the tacos had good flavor. The salsa was decent too, although I personally prefer something with a little more kick. Everyone has different tastes, so this is just my opinion. One thing I really appreciated was how clean and organized the restaurant was. You can tell they take pride in keeping the dining area nice and welcoming. The staff was friendly, and my food came out quickly. It's always a good sign when a restaurant pays attention to both cleanliness and customer service. I've eaten at a lot of taco places throughout the Bay Area, so I naturally compare every new place to some of my favorites. While El Halal Mexican Restaurant didn't make the top of my list, I still had a good experience and I'm glad I finally gave it a shot. Not every restaurant has to be your favorite to be worth visiting. I also like supporting family-owned businesses because I know how much hard work goes into running a local restaurant. They deserve credit for creating a clean, welcoming place and serving quality food. Will I come back? Maybe. If I do, I'd probably try something different on the menu instead of the tacos. Sometimes a restaurant's best dish isn't the first thing you order, and I'd be interested in seeing what else they have to offer. Overall, I'd give El Halal Mexican Restaurant a solid 4 out of 5 stars. It was a good experience, I'm happy I finally got to try it, and if you're in the Willow Glen area, it's worth stopping by and deciding for yourself.

I went downstairs (we were at Valley Medical Hospital) to get Ronnie since he wanted to come to visit Gavin, and so since we saw food trucks, we figured we should grab lunch. + Classic Chicken Sandwich for Gavin + Chicken Tenders and Fries for Ronnie + Nashville Hot Chicken for me (opted for spice level 5) Food did not take long at all. They accept cards. You don't have to tolerate/like spicy foods to enjoy a meal here. The chicken was not greasy and was crispy and juicy as well. Fortunately, a little after we devoured our meals (Gavin barely finished half of his), we were given the discharge approval since he was able to hop/use the walker and use the wheelchair. Different food trucks line up the drop-off area, convenient for staff and visitors to fuel up. It's never fun to be at the hospital. The hospital displays the QR code so you can see which trucks will be there, so you can plan ahead.

The husband and I came here for lunch on a weekend. Parking wasn't too bad, but because it is located in downtown area, expect some challenges. There was a line out the door when we arrived, but it moved at a quick pace. The restaurant itself is on the smaller side with limited seating indoor and out. The husband and I ordered the Grilled Cheese Nashville Hot and Chicken Tenders. The Grilled Cheese was tasty with a nice balance of heat and tanginess from their slaw. The Chicken Tenders were appetizing, but it wasn't as flavorful as I had hoped for. It does come with sauce on the side, which helped. Staff were nice and service was efficient despite the growing line. Although a bit pricey, I think their chicken is good and worth trying out if you're in the area.
