    El Torito Azteca Food Truck
    Jonathan F.

    While passing through central San Jose, we spotted the bright lights coming from El Torito Azteca's truck and couldn't resist stopping to check it out. I'd never heard of them before, but I'm really glad we stopped! Their al pastor tacos were delicious and very fairly priced for the portions. There's plenty of parking in their spacious lot, and a solid variety of options to choose from. I'd definitely come back if I'm in the area.

    I eat at this place a few times a year, every time I come back it is a joy to see them. I used to live in the neighborhood, used to come often. To see them around serving yummy Al pastor tacos as back then it was delightful then and now. Despite pandemics and gentrification this place is always here, with great service and yummy tacos! They change the music every now and then but not too much of an inconvenience. I definitely recommend 5/5

    Came here on a weekday evening for dinner. They have street parking and some parking spaces right in front. They take Google pay, Apple Pay, and credit cards in addition to cash. Ordered tacos Al pastor, camaròn, asada y pollo, and asada fries. All really good and fresh but I recommend the tacos de camarón and the asada fries! They have quaint outdoor seating too thats covered to block out the cold wind. Customer service was standard and didn't feel disrespected. I'd come back here again!

    Tacos El Torito is hands down one of the best places to get authentic Mexican food! Maria Elena, the owner, puts so much love and care into everything she makes. Her tacos are truly the best I've ever had--packed with flavor, perfectly seasoned, and always made fresh. Everything on the menu tastes like it came straight from a traditional Mexican kitchen. You can tell they use quality ingredients, and the food is always fresh, never reheated or frozen. Whether it's tacos, burritos, or any of their daily specials, you can't go wrong. If you're looking for real, homemade Mexican food with a warm and welcoming atmosphere, Tacos El Torito is the place to go. Thank you, Maria Elena, for sharing your amazing food with us!

    Decent tacos, Decent price!

    Came here on a Tuesday afternoon since this was the closest taco spot for my Tuesday at the time, I thought I'd try. The tacos were legit and pretty affordable for 4 tacos with AVOCADO! The parking can get sketch but I had no issues at the time. The eating area was clean, and sevice was good! I'll stop by again if I'm in the area!

    Scratch Cookery - Nashville Chicken Sandwich combo with regular fries ($21)

    Love Scratch Cookery. This is what a Nashville hot chicken sandwich is supposed to be…read more Unlike a lot of the chains like Dave's where it can basically feel like a chicken tender thrown into a bun, Scratch serves a huge, thick piece of actual chicken breast. The portions are serious, the chicken is juicy, and the breading has a great crunch. What really sets them apart for me is the spice. I've had levels 3, 4, and 5, and they're not simply the same seasoning with progressively more heat. Each level actually has a different pepper profile and flavor. Level 3 brings cayenne and Thai chili, level 4 moves into Thai chili and habanero, and level 5 adds habanero and ghost pepper. You can taste the difference, not just feel more burn. The seasoned fries are great too and they definitely don't skimp on the portions. It is a little pricey for a chicken sandwich and fries, but when you see the size and quality of what you're getting, I think it's worth it. Scratch is easily one of my favorite hot chicken spots.

    The ambiance inside was about a 3/5. It felt a little dirty, and the windows could definitely use a…read moregood cleaning. The outdoor seating, though, was really nice. We ordered the Texas chicken sandwich and chicken strips. Portions were generous, and the sandwich was super tasty. The strips were fresh and flavorful, but be careful with the spice levels! We ordered level 1 and it was flaming hot. Even level 0 has a kick, so I'd recommend going one level lower than you normally would. The curly fries were also great. Overall, a solid 4/5. The only star off was for the spice-level calibration. Great food and portions, and we'll definitely be back!

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.

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)

    Before any of these food trucks became popular, we'd always refer to these trucks as "Roach…read moreCoaches!" Do any of you remember that? Whenever I'd hear about a food truck back in the day, the first thing that would come to mind is prepackaged food. However, those days are long gone! These food trucks are now capable of whipping up gourmet meals that could potentially rival any local sit down restaurant. At this particular location, the trucks only come out on Friday night, with 9-11 different trucks to choose from. They also provide live music and fun games for the family. They do provide 5 gallon buckets that are used for seats, and a couple of planks/boards that can be used as tables while you are scarfing down your food. Some folks just bring their own chairs, as those buckets eventually make your ass pretty sore. These are the trucks that will be here on Friday 10/30/15 333 Truck Chairman Truck Fairycakes Gold Rush Eatery Oh Miso Hungry Sam's Chowdermobile Sanguchon Treatbot Waffle Amore As you can see, it is pretty diverse. From a cupcake to a lobster roll, take your pick! Side note: If you plan on staying for a few hours, bring your own chairs! Your ass will thank you later. Conclusion: Who wants to keep track of where a certain food truck is going to be next week at 11:30 AM on Wednesday? Show up on a Friday night and you can treat yourself to about 10 trucks at once. It doesn't get any better than that. ***Minus 1 Star for some of the ridiculous prices***

    "Cream on the inside, clean on the outside. Ice, ice cream, ice cream paint job."…read more Plenty of food trucks to go around: Treatbot - Single Scoop $3.00 (Many flavors) The Chairman (Bao) - Steamed Tender Pork Belly with Turmeric Pickled Daikon & Green Shiso $3.75 Sam's Chowdermobile - PO Boy and Fries (Fried bay andouille with remoulade, toasted bun, and old bay fries) $8.75 - Sam's Lobster Roll (Maine lobster, warmed butter, toasted bun) Regular $16.12; Shortie $10.59 Tina's Tips and Tantrums - Parking limited, but free - Long lines are to be expected - Someone stands in line and someone save seats - Tummy was only hungry for three - Sam's Chowdermobile is always good especially their lobster roll. Super generous about their lobster! - First time, I've never had the Po Boy (andouille - slightly spiced) but it was good and oily though. Fries were bomb! - Chairman's pork belly bun was delicious, a wee bit on the greasy side - Ice cream flavors we had were Ube - Purple Yam, Old School Vanilla, and The 408 - Caramel Ice Cream with Oreos and Fudge. I loved my "The 408" so yummylicious! - Always a great way to spend time with your friends and family.

I had a one off meal before... but they definitely made up for it this time!!! Would I go back? YES... for SURE!

    Hey there Party People…read more El Halal Amigos is a hole in the wall joint that was on "Diners Drive-in & Dives". So my expectations were high and I was a little bit disappointed. The restaurant itself was clean and had a very small amount of indoor seating. If you are going to come here make sure it's a Tuesday ( Tacos are $2). I got the Carne Asada Nar-Chos. I very much enjoyed them. The balance was perfect between cheese, guacamole and meat. Every chip was covered in something delicious. There was a decent amount of jalapeños so the heat was there. I would get these again and again. Where the restaurant fell short was with the Chile Relleno Burrito. We were expecting the ooyee gooyee cheese burrito we had seen on TV and it was very very far from it. Hubby is a major Chile Relleno connoisseur and to him it was average at best. Chips and Salsa were average flavor wise. But they were free so that was a plus. Since we went on a Tuesday we tried the taco special. The Street tacos were very tasty. They had a great freshness the meat was juicy and very well seasoned. If you're in the Willow Glen area and are having a taco craving then you should check this place out. But in my opinion the food in general is slightly above average. I actually would give this place 3 1/2 stars but the app doesn't allow it. Be kind to one another
