    Freshly made corn tortillas
    Mari S.

    Sunday is for menudo. Had to come to this authentic Taqueria on Northgate. Great prices & many options on menu. Menudo served nice and hot and full of flavor. They are not greedy with the meat or hominy. Served with handmade corn tortillas which were a good size and delicious. Even took some home to make some quesadillas. Also ordered a shrimp cocktail, which was huge plenty of shrimp inside the cocktail. I just added my fixings to it and flavored it up to my liking. Restaurant was busy but food came out fast and service is always great.

    I order the chili relleno plate. Great price and portions here. The food was excellent and the service was super fast. 10/10 would go again

    The food here was delicious and so filling! The service the staff provided was amazing. They have a self service chip and salsa area which I loved! And the vibes at this restaurant were lively and friendly!

    I ordered a burrito de carne asada and a pozole to go and they were so amazing, filled with flavor and the pozole was the best

    I ordered a burrito de carne asada and a pozole to go, this was my second time at this restaurant and the staff was so friendly and had my food out in a timely amount of time. This was my second time having the pozole here and it always hits the spot.

    This place is pretty good, I haven't been here in awhile but went in yesterday and they moved their menu and it looks really cute. The miche was really good and I normally don't care for them. The crispy tacos are always really good but one thing I would like to suggest is them clean the shrimp before cooking and it would be perfect. Friendly service, they checked on us more than once.

    Cabeza, lengua y carne adada super taco. ¡Delicioso!

    The tacos here still live up to the expectations I have of them. Their prices went up a little so it's $10 for 3 taqueria tacos but that's good for me. They still have a decent salsa bar and the chips are good. They changed the order counter to the room without the bar. It was alarming at first but it's better for everyone. They lost the menu board and sadly, like all eager-to-raise-prices businesses, they adopted TV monitors for the menu. Sigh. Anyway, when I came in a few days ago, everyone was wonderful from polite customers to helpful staff. If you're looking for authentic Mexican food (and we're not talking about fattening rice & beans - although I think they have them), you need to come here. Growing up in and near San Jose, this spot feels like home. Which, like East San Jose, violence happens in the area - it is Northgate. Just be smart, be kind, and you'll be just fine.

    Jumbo Super Burrito
    D P.

    My favorite place to get a burrito in natomas. This time went with jumbo super carne asada.

    Great authentic Mexican food, we were looking for vegetarian options, which they were able to accommodate. We had the vegetarian fajita platter along with vegetarian sopes. Their Michelada was excellent also.

    Saturday Brunch here is On-Point!! The Food is authentic Mexican cuisine ~ delicious! The drinks especially the Michelada are AMAZING because they make their own Miche-Mix here and it is superbly flavorful. We love coming here for Brunch or Day Drinking or even Late Night drinking and botanas (bar bites). KARI is the BOMBEST bartender here ‼

We totally forgot with everything we have going on that day that it was dine downtown. The menu looked good, but I was already set on getting pozole so we didn't order off the dine downtown menu. Plus, we've also been here plenty of times and love it already. We were really bummed to find out that you get charged for chips and salsa and they don't come out automatically without asking and it also the charge is dependent on how many people are in your party. Also, when the chips came out, there was only one salsa, which hasn't usually been the case. We're not sure if this was just some modifications because of dine downtown happening, but it was a bummer. We ordered the taquitos for an appetizer and those were OK..nothing special. I ordered the pozole verde with chicken, which is my favorite! And my best friend ordered the Carnitas plate. My posole was really good. It came with the side of the status and all the toppings. However, the Carnitas lacked flavor and were a bit dry. Neither of us would probably order that again. We also ordered a couple of blended mockaritas, one strawberry and one mango and both were tasty, but the strawberry would definitely needed another blend as there were a big chunks of ice. I think that because of the craziness with dine downtown..service and food quality we're a bit lacking, but I will always come back to Mayahuel for the pozole verde !

    I love to eat Mexican food and La Favorita Taqueria does it the best! I've been coming here…read moreconsistently for 5 years and this place does not disappoint! I visited this past Saturday and it was quite busy inside like it always is. The restaurant is large enough to fit a lot of people, so finding a seat isn't an issue. To order, you line up in front of the register and wait until they call you. Once it was my turn, I ordered a Super Burrito with Al Pastor, which is my favorite protein choice there. Usually I order 2 tacos with my burrito but I was saving room for Korean bbq that day! The Super Burrito comes with your choice of meat, rice, beans, salsa, sour cream, guacamole, and cheese. I also ordered a medium pineapple agua fresca, which paired perfectly with my burrito. After ordering, you're handed a number to take to your table so the servers know where to bring your food. As I'm waiting for my food, I helped myself to the self-serve chip bar. The chip bar is my favorite thing about the restaurant besides the food and quick service. I always get loads of both the white and red pickled onions, and some salsa to go with my chips. They offer many sides to choose from so that anyone can customize their meal to their liking. The pickled onions have the perfect level spice and acidity to them which helps with cutting down the greasiness you may get from a burrito. I also like to snack on them for fun too! The food comes out extremely quickly. When I finished placing my order and brought my number to my table, I went to the self-serve bar right after to get some chips. Not even 2-3 minutes later, I came back to my table with my burrito already there! The burrito was absolutely delicious and piping hot. It's the perfect size for me and eating it with the pineapple agua fresca and some chips makes it a perfect meal! Coming to La Favorita Taqueria is always a treat and I appreciate the quick customer service, self-serve bar, and delicious food! I highly recommend the Al pastor as your protein choice and honestly you can't go wrong with anything on their menu!

The crispy taco, enchilada, and burrito with steak or carnitas are solid. The salsa and chips come out once you sit down and are really good. I put the salsa on everything and always end up with leftovers as the portions are large. With so many options on the menu, you will always leave this spot happy and full!
