    Torta with Al Pastor..
    Donny S.

    This looked like a local hole in the wall place. Food was good and service was good too. Me and the whole family all got something different. My son got the monster burrito wet extra spicy. It was pretty spicy so if that's your thing this is perfect. It's a big place with plenty of seating. Went on a Monday and they definitely get a lunch crowd. I would definitely try this place again.

    This is the place for tacos. They used to have the truck next door at the market but another business called Las Grullas has that spot. So, for the best tacos, you now come into the brick and mortar Tacos de Oro next door. The perfect red salsa, perfectly grilled tortillas, and fresh meat all lead to the best taco in SCC.

    Wet soupy super burrito and queso and the salsa from order of chips and salsa

    It's a bit mediocre and inconsistent. Thought this place was ok before, but was really disappointed today. Granted, I ordered doordash today but I don't live far. Burrito was soggy and loose and difficult to eat. Ordered a side of queso and it was just a plate of shredded cheese. Also chips and salsa are extra, but they only give you small containers at salsa that at other taco places you can load up for free.

    Ordered the steak quesadilla to go, and it was smaller in size than what I've gotten in the past here, served on a paper plate wrapped and covered with foil. The carne asada was juicy, but the flavor of the meat was lacking, and the mild green sauce was hardly noticeable. The fresh veggies went well with the dish, making it a satisfying enough meal, but nothing noteworthy. Service was more than sufficient with only one other customer inside 30 minutes before closing time, and I was in and out in no more than 10 minutes. This wouldn't be my first choice for mexican food in the south bay, but it was convenient for me on a Saturday afternoon, so I'm grateful to have a restaurant like this so close to home, a casual spot with indoor seating, quick service, and decent menu options.

    Very clean. We came around noon time. Not crowded. Food is good, very reasonable price. The host/waitress is very friendly. Dinning environment is very good.

    This was such a fun experience trying the restaurant. We came at the beginning of lunch when there were a few people here and there, and soon after, the place was bustling with people! The servers were very polite and friendly and the atmosphere was warm and pleasant. I wanted to try so many foods, but I ended up with the Carne Asada plate which comes with flour or corn tortillas on the side. At first bite, this was the juiciest and savory carne Asada I ever had! The rice was a nice touch too. I opted out the beans because I cannot eat beans, but just want to let you know that's an option, too. I do wish this dish came with more radishes or vegetables, but overall this was definitely flavorful and worth the price. Will visit again!

    Truck at gas station

    I was in Milpitas stopped at this gas station and saw this taco truck. It was a Sunday afternoon and didn't seem busy so decided to give it a try.So happy I did.. Cook is striving for the highest level and noticed it in the flavors of each tacos. If you're in the neighborhood of Milpitas. Give it a try..and let's support small businesses. Tacos 5/5 : Ordered lengua ( tongue) : super flavorful and soft. Tripas ( tripe) couldn't believe how they made the edges crispy.. exquisite. Chorizo..deep umami flavs. Tortillas were grilled. Loved the homemade jalapeno and sauces. Location: Abbott and Calaveras Blvd . 76 gas station.

    Im a huge fan of their truck so when I passed by the other day and saw they have a restaurant I was so excited. Really good flavor and fresh ingredients

    Welcome to Alviso!
    April A.

    My daughter and recently visited this quaint town as it had been a life long dream of mine. Why a lifelong dream? Well Alviso is my family name and I have no doubt the early Alviso settlers here were my ancestors. After a trip to the marina where we saw the most beautiful pink pond we were hungry! El Taco de Oro had a lot of stars and the pictures looked good. So we went. When we arrived we noticed they also had a taco truck and figured it must be good if they are also putting a truck out there. We were not disappointed!! I do not believe I have had that good of Mexican food in I can't tell you how long. The size of the burrito was so big I couldn't finish and now regret not taking the rest to go. It was filled with delicious chile verde. My daughter had the menudo and it looked fresh and smelled as it should (I have to say I do not like menudo and am not a fan of the smell. lol) She really enjoyed it though. The chips and fresh corn tortillas were an extra bonus and the salsa was amazing. Staff was friendly, service was speedy, and the restaurant and bathroom were clean. The price was great too! Just the right price. Where I live now the Mexican food is just okay and is way overpriced so I was delightfully surprised. Definitely on my experience recommend the restaurant.

    I haven't been to Pedro's in a decade. When a colleague suggested Pedro's for Cinco de Mayo, I gave…read moretwo thumbs up! For the day, they were giving out free chips and salsa. Shoot, I thought it was always free but I guess they charge $6! I had the combo chicken enchilada with the beef taco with beans and veggies for $24. I like the customization especially since I'm trying to lose weight. It is a bit expensive, but it was delicious. Service was good. She was very attentive and personable. We sat in a courtyard area which was bright and sunny. I would come back to eat again at another time.

    Extremely disappointed with our Mother's Day experience at Pedro's…read more To start, our party was completely forgotten after checking in with the hostess/waiting booth. After waiting over an hour, we noticed another large party that arrived after us being seated first. Only after we spoke up did staff realize they had entirely forgotten about our group because they were preparing to close. A very disappointing first impression before we even stepped foot inside the restaurant. Once seated, we ordered drinks and experienced the buffet, but service after that was almost nonexistent. The entire experience felt rushed, as if we were no longer welcome because we ended up being among the last guests there -- something that could have easily been avoided had we been seated when we were supposed to. What makes this even more upsetting is the cost. Our bill was over $630 before gratuity and additional tip. For that price, I expected attentive service and a memorable Mother's Day experience, not to feel forgotten and rushed out. I've honestly received far better service at restaurants costing a fraction of the price. The only thing I truly enjoyed were the waffles, but even then, I can easily find restaurants with similar or better food quality and significantly better service. Will I return? No. Would I recommend coming here for holidays or special occasions? Absolutely not. There are many restaurants in the area that provide far better food, service, and overall value for a fraction of this cost. Unfortunately, Pedro's was not one of them. Pedro's, do better. Customers should never feel overlooked, rushed, or exploited -- especially on occasions meant to celebrate family and mothers.
