This was the only place where we used to eat tacos in San Jose. When I went to their regular location before so many times, I liked it so much that I even filmed it and shared it on my Instagram account with lots of followers. Whenever we ate there we loved it soo much. Today we came to the San Jose Flea Market. When we saw the name Con Sabor a Mexico there, we got very excited. We wanted to try it again because normally it's a place we eat at and really love. But it was unbelievably bad. First of all, the consomé on the side was lukewarm, basically cold. It was very bad. The tacos were so soggy that the tortillas were completely falling apart. There was almost no salt inside, no flavor at all. Honestly, it was one of the most flavorless things I've ever eaten in my life. It was awful. I'm very sorry, but it was a huge disappointment.
We were staying at a hotel nearby and walked over for dinner. It's set up similar to a permanent food truck location with 2-4 spots (2 were open when we were there) with a large outdoor tented seating area. We took our food to go back to the hotel. They have menus on each spot and you order separately. When we went there were 2 places open: Mexican and Colombian. I saw signs for BBQ and Elote/Corn but those were closed. We were a little confused at first because it was our first time and no one else was ordering when we went. However, a nice man who owned the spots came over and told us his favorites and how we ordered independently for each location. From the Mexican spot we ordered the birria quesadilla. We did have to pay an additional fee to include the consume, which has typically been included at all other spots we get birria from. But, we did and it was good. The quesadilla was a good size and came with chips and two different salsas. From the Colombian spot we ordered a chicken empanada and Papas Rellenas (stuffed fried potatoes with a hard boiled egg). The chicken empanada was my favorite, it had a lot of flavor and had corn and peppers and cheese and chicken inside (probably more).
A friend introduced me to this spot for their birria tacos, and he was absolutely right. We came late at night just before closing. It was windy and cold, but honestly the perfect weather for hot, crispy birria tacos and a warm cup of consommé. Everything is outdoors, but there was a large white tent that we were able to sit under, which helped. There was only one person working, and he was clearly hustling and doing his best, so it took a bit for him to get to us. Once our order was placed, the food came out in about 10 minutes. The tacos were delicious. The consommé was rich and flavorful, and the hot sauce that comes with it was excellent. Exactly what you want on a cold night. Just a heads-up: it's dark at night with minimal lighting. Parking is nearby, it's very casual, and it's set up like a food-truck area with a few other Mexican vendors around. I would definitely go back. They have a gigantic taco I want to try next time. I've read mixed reviews about the ramen, so I'm on the fence about that, but I'd try it with more people. Overall, simple, fast, and very satisfying.
The birria taco was good. Unfortunately the giant birria they didn't have it? We ordered chicken burrito, the chicken was old, hard, no salsa, onion, cilantro. Waste of money. The owner of this business should implement serving good food, to make sure customers don't waste money buying bad food.
Came on a weekday.. and waited 1hour to order and get the order -- I didn't check before hand and it was due to the $1.50 taco deal they had on May 5th :) returned on Sunday again and no wait great food !!
Came to visit this food truck place known for their giant birria taco. It's in a small area but they have their own private parking space. During the night they have white Christmas lights to to light up the area creating a well lit place to eat. They also have games setup to play while you wait for your food. Giant birria taco - it's alright. Too big for me and it's just meat and cheese inside. Would have been nice to have some chopped onions or cilantro. All the small tacos - really good. Their sauce is spicy but each bite is flavorful. The tripas are crunchy but not too dry, al pastor is juicy, and shrimp is good. Drinks - my pineapple didn't have enough ice so it was warm but either way both were good. Wait times were pretty long though. But I'm pretty sure that's because the giant birria taco took all the time to cook.
Have you seen the birria taco served in a pizza box?! I finally got to check out this famous taco spot in San Jose. We ordered the giant signature birria taco, short rib burrito, loaded Baja taco, and two drinks. Everything was fresh made and delicious! My number one favorite was the short rib burrito -- loved the tenderness and smoky flavor of the meat. It was well-seasoned and very juicy! Definitely going back for more -- I really want to try their birria ramen next time as well!
The birria is the bomb here. Take your pick; quessabirria , shrimp taco birria, quesadilla it's all delicious.
Not horrible but definitely NOT worth it. The wait for their huge Queso Birria was 45 minutes and it was 20 min for the flavored water. Food was ok, nothing worth writing about. Sitting area was nice but weathering badly. Laughed when one of the workers came out with her food and ate right next to us, 30 minutes after we ordered. Parking was initially ok, skinny lot. Not bad until a POS parks next to your or in front of you and you can't get out. If you insist on eating there, park in the street! Huge queso birria $35 and the flavored water $8 each. Water was eh. There are DEFINITELY better options around, choose them.
Sometimes things get better with time but unfortunately, this isn't the case with Con Sabor a México. We don't live in the area, so when coming back from a trip and we were going to pass San Jose, we decided to come back to some of the best quesabirria tacos we had, rivaling my mother in laws. Well, we were disappointed. We always came for the viral huge quesabirria tacos that brought us here in the first place and when we tried ordering it, the cashier said they didn't have the ingredients for it. Hmm, ok. So when we decided just on the quesabirrias, the cashier seemed somewhat confused on the type of tortilla, flour or corn. I believe they are always corn tortillas, so this threw us off. Still we continued with our order. We were charged for meat and cheese tacos with watery broth cuz that wasn't birria. That salsa they gave was fire and made the taco better but if you're expecting birria, just buy the birria bomb and make it at home cuz sadly, that's what it tastes like. Hope they get it together but we won't be making that detour anymore.
We got the baja and al pastor tacos along with the big birria taco. All tacos were perfectly cooked. We loved the al pastor the most. We also got their agua frescas watermelon and pineapple. Both drinks were refreshing. Although pineapple juice had a lot of pulp. But other than that we got our food pretty quick.
Haven't been back here for a very long time. Order some keto Baja shrimp tacos and Birria nachos because they ran out of fries. Upon getting the food. Everything was very bland, no flavor whatsoever. I can only taste the cheese nothing else. The meat wasn't seasoned and so was the consommé; it was extremely watery and bland. I am disappointed and how on earth; the quality went down hill. They also hardly put any toppings ( white onion and cilantro) skimping it out a lot. Overall it was okay; probably best advice would be to bring a salt packet. The outdoor seating patio changed. They made it a lot spacier. Other than that it's just okay. Would I come again? Probably but only if my partner is craving for them. Also additional the red radish/ turnips aren't that crunchy either.
I love this little enclave with activities, great music, and awesome food. I got some street tacos from here which were yummy and some fresh juice which was refreshing on a hot day. Fun, friendly staff. It was also interesting to see that they had keto options as well

During our event, just as the actors and production staff were getting ready to take a break for dinner, our order arrived right on time--exactly when they said they would be there. The quesabirrias and tacos, along with all the toppings and condiments, were a total hit! Everything was delicious and arrived nice and hot, with the cheese in the quesabirrias still perfectly melted. One thing that really stood out to me was the quality of the tortillas. Unlike some other places I've tried, they weren't soggy or falling apart. The tortillas stayed intact, making it easy to pick up and enjoy both the tacos and quesabirrias without making a mess. One of my favorite moments was hearing members of the cast asking, "Where is this food from? It's so good!" We proudly told them, "Con Sabor a México!" Thank you for helping us keep our cast and production staff well-fed and happy during such a special event. Everything was a success! read more

Photo does not match what they give you! I ordered 10 of these plates that should add up to 20 Birria Tacos. Once arrived, I confirmed that each plate came with 2 tacos ea. and was told that is correct. When I got home, only 10 were in the bag! Went back and they denied the original question of the quantity of taco's. Here is the image that I ordered from DoorDash. This image is a misrepresentation of what they actually give you.. read more

No wonder this place was empty. I should've read the reviews before I purchased ANYTHING from this place. There was a mistake with my order and the lady did not want to give me a refund for one order, made a huge deal and gave the nastiest attitude from the get go. She blamed the entire thing on me when it was a misunderstanding on BOTH ends. She even tried manipulating me by saying she was going to take it out of her own paycheck. It was only $13 I wanted back. Her reasoning to not be able to give me a refund was that she already heat up 2 tortillas. The quesadillas weren't even made yet?!!! I should've known I was going to have a bad experience when it was empty and she took her sweet time to not even greet us and take our order. (First time customer and definitely LAST) read more
My boyfriend, an SJ native and son of Mexican immigrants, claims Con Sabor A Mexico to be his favorite / the best quesabirria in the Bay. Visiting has been on our list for literally one year, just never ended up in SJ when the shop was open. Finally, we found ourselves hangry and tired in SJ recently, so we made our way over. The "restaurant" space is very rudimentary -- expect to see a taco truck plus a few more stationary outposts (for storage? I'm unsure), plus tents with plenty of tables underneath for patrons. I would definitely call this fast casual, and definitely opposite of romantic, unless your first date/anniversary has something to do with delicious tacos. Order from a kiosk and then wait for your name to be called. Be sure to grab extra napkins, there's no way anyone can get out of eating this without juice dripping down your hands. The tacos were absolutely overflowing with ingredients and the consomme was 12/10, definitely the best I've had (with close seconds not far behind), and it was *not* heavy on the cinnamon, which seems to be others' downfall. I was stuffed after two tacos. Our meal was definitely delicious, and if I lived in the South Bay, I'd definitely frequent more regularly, but I'm 0% sad I don't live in SJ and just as happy to keep exploring options in the City (or just go back to my tried & true Tacos El Patron) read more

I have been coming to this place for years now and I've always had a really good experience. Until today. I went to order two orders of 3 birria tacos like I always do. The lady taking my order spoke no English. I don't have a problem with that, but if you can't understand my order then that's when it is a problem. We tried our best to understand each other and I ordered thinking I'd get what I asked for. When she called me to pick up my order it was not correct. I tried to explain this to her and she did not understand me. She looked at her coworker to explain the situation and he told us "no refunds" and told us to go. My boyfriend asked him if he spoke English to see if he could help us, but I guess that question triggered him because he became very aggressive and was asking my boyfriend "do you speak Spanish" in a confrontational manner over and over. My boyfriend became upset at this behavior and was trying to explain we are only asking so that we know if you will understand us or not. I was trying to explain I don't want a refund I just want what I ordered. He was not trying to listen to us and kept telling me to go and "no refunds." I asked a customer who was waiting to order if she can help translate. After she explained the misunderstanding the man told her to tell us we would have to make a whole new order and pay for it. I already spent $30 on the order that I didn't want. I am very very disappointed with this customer service and I will no longer be coming here. I have never felt so humiliated before. Please hire people with good customer service and that can understand their customers. read more

The five stars are for the radishes served with the birria tacos. These were the tastiest radishes I have ever tasted so far in life; the flavor came out after they'd been swimming in the cup of beef broth for 15 minutes. Also worth mentioning are the tables and benches made from salvaged auto parts (see picture.) The beef in the tacos at Tostadas was more lean, while the beef in the tacos at Con Sabor was more like eating pork belly. read more
YUM! came here while on a trip based on a recommendation from a local, and don't regret trying it out! I was in the mood for a quesadilla but decided to try the quesabirria instead. I do not regret it! It was enormous, so good thing I was hungry! The meat was super tasty and flavorful, and that secret hot sauce they make is absolutely necessary. I think next time I would ask for some salsa or pico on the side for some variety of texture beside the radishes. Service was quick and the whole place was really chill while waiting for the order. Their BBQ station is currently down, but I'd love to come back to try some of that. read more

The food was better than I expected. This was recommended by a random person who was listening to my husband and me talk about craving carne asada fries. We parked on the street and the food pick up is from the taco truck but you order on a kiosk outside. I recommend don't come here wanting your food right away. There were only two people making the food so minimal service. They had different drinks but I didn't get any. I just wanted fries and a birria taco. Lastly, the music is loud when it is on. read more

Come hungry. Challenge yourself with the giant taco! It's $30. They don't skim on the meat! Whether you share with a friend or a loved one, or have it all by yourself, it's worth the money. The habanero mango sauce is refreshing. The tipping sauce is great. The $7 watermelon juice is a refreshing beverage. It's sweet, but not too sweet. It's just right. Great for the summer! read more
You want the worlds largest taco for about $30? Well, this is the spot. The taco is huge and might give you a heart attack, but it just might be worth it. Parking is a problem here, and you'll have to wait for that large taco, but it's wroth it. Everything we had was pretty good, but slightly overpriced. Still, it was pretty tasty overall. I think it was a unique experience and I'd be willing to try it again. read more
Been seeing this trend on IG for awhile now so I decided to come and get my hands on their birria. So decided to drop by on a Saturday. They have 2 other locations as they stated on their IG page. Food: They said they were known for their birria, so thats what we came for. By far this has got to be the best place to get birria. They have the meat cooking on the side as you order and wait for your food. The meat isn't dry and it's juicy. Add a bit of spritz of lime and bueno! It's delicious!!! So I can see why it's been reviewed and mentioned a lot. It gets pricey but it's totally worth it. We didn't get a chance to try the pineapple Fresca, since it wasn't available when we came when it just opened though. Definitely a good choice to come get tacos though! Ambiance: There are outdoor seatings only under tents. They do have parking available, but it gets tricky to maneuver around when all the parksing spot is taken inside. Probably try to find parking on the street if you don't want to deal with the parking. Like I said before, you can see that they are cooking their meats outside and you can definitely smell all the spices they used too. Service: Service was quick and easy. Tell them what you want and then you wait for your food. They mostly will bring it to you or they'll call your name to pick it up. It does take awhile, but the wait isn't that long. I think we waited maybe 15 minutes after ordering, but then again we came right about opening time. After we finished eating there was already a long line starting too. Would we come back? Yes!!! Been thinking about this place everyday to get some birria tacos with consome! Definitely a good spot to get tacos and other options as well. read more
Hearing of this place from word of mouth to social media, I was excited to come check this place out. Unfortunately, my expectations fell short and seemed the overall experience seemed more of the "hype". Ordered a Quesobirria (that came with complimentary chips, radish and onion mix) with a side of consume. It was a slow Sunday at the Flea market early on with others slowly trickling their way to the food trucks and we still had to wait about 30~35minutes for our food. While the Quesobirria was very cheesy and packed with meat, the consume was very thin and a little bland. read more

Great outdoor dining. Order your food on a kiosk and it's prepared in a food truck. It's quite tasty! Only issue is the restroom is a portable potty and depending on what you order, it can take a while to get your food. Overall, would come back. read more
