The food here is forsure good. My friend and i come here a lot. I will say though, the Horchata.... Uff. The Best Ever. I just bought one few mins ago actually. read more

La Enramada has a food truck outside the restaurant that usually opens late! I came here via my cousin's recommendation and have been coming back bringing new friends to try the place out. My family and I love their tripa tacos. Our usual proteins when we visit taco joints are Al pastor or carne asada but once we were introduced to the tripa tacos, we have never looked back. The tripa tacos are perfectly fried and are so juicy and flavorful. They give generous portions as well. Their salsas add a kick of spice to our tacos. I truly think this place is so good and can't wait till I'm back. read more

La Enramada Restaurant - Hours - Mexican Near Me - San Jose, California

LITERALLY OBSESSSED with the Super Tacos here! Hands down some of the BEST tacos I've ever had in my life. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! My bf and I randomly discovered this place through DoorDash when we were craving late night tacos. It was close by and is open late so we decided to give it a try! OMG Life changing. *Insert heart eyes* I am literally sooo OBSESSED with their Super Tacos. They are AMAZING! The Super Taco has sautéed onions, avocado slices, cheese, perfectly cooked carne, radish, and even comes with a full or half sliced jalapeño. ABSOLUTE PERFECTION. They are sooo juicy and packed with amazingly delightful FLAVOR. Hands down these are the BEST tacos around here. My personal #1 are in Santa Clara but this is a close 2nd. My bf also really LOVES their quesadilla here! He's obsessed with the steak one I tried it and it was delicious also! I also tried the Wet Burrito with the combo red and green salsa it was delicious! You DO have to eat it fast though otherwise the tortilla soaks up the "wet salsa" too much. lol. We haven't had time to physically stop by the restaurant itself but this is literally our FAVORITE TACO PLACE EVER on DoorDash. They always pack the orders so well and include lemon and extra salsa and lots of napkins too. read more

Legit hood eats. Janky parking lot with chewed up asphalt, next door to a laundromat with peeps constantly going in and out, and the possibility of someone laying down on the sidewalk. But none of that stopped me from giving this place an impromptu whirl. So good I came back twice in one week cuz I was in the area anyways. The place is huge with a lot of tables, many are for groups of 4 or more. You can easily fit a group of 10+ here no prob, just not sure how often that happens tho. Actually on both early dinners like 5ish, there actually weren't a whole lot of diners in there. Actually saw more take out than peeps eating in. Place actually reminds me of a standard resto in Mexico, very no frills and most go for the food, versus ambiance. I saw a sign for karaoke during the later evenings, so not sure if that draws a bigger crowd. Sometimes it does. Fish Taco ($5ish/4*) This is a sauteed fish taco, not a deep fried fish one. It is fairly large like 4-5 bites and is stacked quite well. Nicely seasoned small chunks of fish lay in a warm corn tortilla. It is topped with cabbage, salsa and some sliced avocado. I ate this as an app with a beer before my menudo and was quite pleased. Menudo ($15ish/5*) Totally legit, better than most from my area in the burbs. Nice sized bowl of steaming hot broth, quite viscous and sticky. The kind where if it were refrigerated, the broth would congeal into a solid gelatin mass. Good balance of chiles and seasonings, I had no desire to season further. Just added the garnishments of diced raw onion, crumbled oregano leaves and a hard squeeze of lemon. No hominy, which I tend to prefer, but I never dock a place for ever using it. When it is all protein, it just seems more premium and indulgent. The simmered tripe were perfect. Perfectly cut in nice chunks that fit onto a spoon nicely, and most importantly perfectly tender and silky. I'm actually craving this now as I'm recalling it. And the soft tripe pieces totally absorbed into the broth that it melded as one. With bites of warm thick corn tortillas and this super warm bowl of comfort and a cold Pacifico, just made time stop for me on a cool rainy spring evening. 2nd out I came after work and I was starving. This time I sat down and got table service, as I didn't know how it worked on my first out. I ordered at the counter a few days before. I like the table service much more as I can just go into chill mode. Mary Chelada Con Camaron ($17ish/4.5*) Monster goblet of a michelada then topped with freshly grilled shrimps coated in a spicy coating. The shrimps arrived hot which I was not expecting. I had to let them cool a bit, but the bites of the spicy shrimps then sips of michelada was the perfect appetizer when I was hangry. Enchiladas Michoacanas ($18ish/4.5*) I had no idea what this was, but I was ready for an adventure. They did ask me if I wanted beef or chicken, and I chose beef. What came out was a nice surprise that totally threw me for a loop. I'll break down the elements of the platter as it multi-faceted. Actually when it first arrived I wasn't even sure if I received the right dish, as the enchiladas are totally not visible upon arrival. You have to dig and unbury them from a slew of other elements on the plate. So them enchiladas that are way on the bottom of the plate are not what most Americans would think of when ordering enchiladas. First they are not rolled like a cigar or cylinder. Rather it is corn tortillas filled a strong cheese much like feta, folded in half like a taco, then lightly fried to absorb some oil, then simmered in light but nicely chile flavored red sauce. I'll actually probably never roll enchiladas again, I'll just do a simple fold and shingle them along. It was a very good and basic cheese enchilada. Then they top 3-4 of those enchiladas with a ton of shredded raw cabbage. I thought it was strange, but the crunch with the warm food actually made a nice contrast. I didn't eat all the cabbage as there were just so much, but I thoroughly enjoyed the vegetative crunch. And on top of all that cabbage was a nice slab of well seasoned carne asada. Carne asada is always quite well done and a bit chewy, but if you're familiar with real Mexican food, that is just the way it is. Don't expect anything pink or medium rare or any premium cuts like a ribeye. It is just part of this culture's cuisine. Then off to the side of the plate laid nice planks of lightly fried potato. Another twist that threw me for a loop. So to take bites of this, along the beef, then the well saturated cheese enchiladas, just made for a very filling and satisfying beef and potato meal with an authentic ethnic twist. I'll be back for more of their offerings, since I'll be in the area a lot more these days. My kind of Mexican food outing fasho. read more

I've never been in during day time but this is BY FAR the best taco truck in San Jose. I drive from downtown and stop by whenever I'm on my way home from the city or Oakland late night. It's that good. The way that they flavor their carnitas is and their pastor is . The tacos are sooo good of course but man their quesadillas... amazing. Just the right balance of tortilla and cheese to compliment the meat. The sauce is so complementary but not overpowering. Their grilled onions come with every plate and are a highlight for sure as well. Overall just the highlight of any night I get to go. read more

I've been coming here since High School. I used to walk from Independence to here after school just for the food-- back then, it wasn't that pricey but nowadays, it's totally worth it. The asada has the best flavor and if you get it paired with camaron, then you've got yourself a bomb ass mix! Service is great as always, the lady remembers me from when I was a teenager. The ambiance is filled with Hispanic music and beautiful decor. You truly feel welcomed here. read more

I've been dying to try La Enramada for quite some time and with it being so close to my family's home, the constant passing by only added to my desire. I made the decision to come here for a quick catch up lunch this past Sunday for a few reasons: 1) there was outdoor seating and indoor seating available 2) menudo is served on Sundays & 3) I just so happened to have a sitter for my daughter. Our party arrived prior to the crowds coming and not a single person greeted us. We decided to seat ourselves and walked inside to request for menus. I was informed someone would come out and assist us. The menu is EXTENSIVE so don't be shy about taking your time. It took us a while to decide on our orders but we opted for: 3 chavelas, 1 Pacifico, 2 horchatas, coke, burrito mojado, 5 tacos, 2 orders of menudo, & pancake patter. Food took a lifetime to come out and the female workers repeatedly came by our table and ask us to show our table #. Things were very unorganized and the workers seemed very very confused. The burrito and tacos came out first, sat out, & got cold as we waited for the rest of the order to come. Menudo took more time that expected since you'd assume the stew was sitting piping hot, readily on the stove. Both orders came out but one was missing condiments- WTF?? The pancakes arrived but we were informed that they were out of breakfast sausage and substituted it with hash browns instead. Taste: menudo was delicious!! It was made extremely well and although the dish contained a lot more liquid than ingredients, the homemade tortillas provided with the meal made up for that. The beef tripe was cleaned perfectly and did not have a dirty smell or taste. Carne asada tacos were over cooked and dry while the lengua was tender and flavorful. Burrito mojado was huge in size and will leave you stuffed to the brim. Pancake after wasn't anything special. I wanted to give La Enramada Restaurant Y Taqueria 3 stars but had to deduct 1 due to service issues. There was no justification for all of the confusion since we arrived prior to the crowds of people and to see tables who arrived after us getting their food first was annoying. Food was pretty good but if I make a return I'd opt for take out. Sitting here and dealing with the headache of people being clueless isn't worth it. read more

I was craving a good burrito and this spot showed up on Yelp so I figured I'd try it. There was a food truck I'm front of the restaurant and when asked why this was, I was told it was due to different hours of service. I ordered a super burrito with a large (that's the only size they had) Jamaica drink. The total came out to be $14.80. This was definitely pricey for these two items. Their prices on their menu clearly needs to be updated. The burrito itself was good but overall, I thought this spot was average. read more

We came here after dropping someone at the Berryessa bart station. The food was okay. I enjoyed my carnitas taco and pozole. The hubby had the octopus tostada and mole enchiladas. He said his food was okay, but the next time we visit, he'll try something else. The server at this restaurant was really nice, but the restaurant was very loud. They had karaoke inside, so we sat outside. Even being outside, it was extremely loud. read more

It was our first time here and they had a taco truck in front of the restaurant for late night munchies. We ordered lingua, al pastor and asada tacos. Everything was pretty tasty, but we had a large order and unfortunately we did not check our orders before we drove home. We realized that we were missing 4 al pastor tacos. Overall, the tacos tasted good, reasonable pricing, and workers were nice, but we were disappointed that we paid for 15 tacos total and only received 11. Be sure to check your food before you drive off. However, I would come back to order tacos again and maybe try their restaurant. read more

It's been two years since the last time I ate here. I remember how good their homemade tortillas were. But this time it looks completely different might be new owners and remodeling being done. The tacos were OK the tortillas weren't homemade. Burrito was huge but basic. I also got the menudo but it needed more salt, they provided oregano and dried chilies on the side that you can add in your soup which made it more flavorful. The service was excellent overall. read more

La Enramada Restaurant - Mexican Near Me - San Jose, California

This whole street is fantastic whenever I have a taco craving. Whether it's Tacos El Rancherito down the street or even the truck in front of this place, you can't go wrong. I like this spot because it's open fairly late and they have free chips. Be VERY careful with the salsa though, it's spiciness is definitely near the top from what I've had. The burritos are solid, and their meat choices are about what you'd expect from any authentic place. They got crispy tripas, tender cabeza, fatty lengua, and pretty flavorful al pastor. Again, you seriously can't go wrong. They talk card too. Just a great place. read more

Absolutely delicious. I would recommend the BBQ pork "pastor" burrito. Was crispy and tasty. I'm very picky with meat, but I didnt find any cartilage. Only complaint would be the steep price, but I'd still come back if it were more expensive. Keep it up! read more

Cute place, nice colors, feels homey. Food is regular, satisfying if you are hungry but don't expect gourmet Mexican food here. Some dishes are better than others, for example the tacos are ok but the sopa or caldo sietes mares is pretty good and reasonably priced. Besides, it is a type of seafood soup that you cannot find in all Mexican restaurants, so I am glad they have that and it comes with all the different little sea beasts (not like local restaurants that cheap on the seafood they put on it). read more

Love this place! If you're looking for a meat and seafoods dishes, this restaurant is a place to go. We tried the Enchiladas Michoacanas and Molcajete de Mariscos and they're both good and will fill you up so much! (I recommend eating them with your bare hands only!) The senorita who took my order and served us is really friendly. We'll definitely be back here with empty stomach to finish those humongous meal! read more

The place is huge, on Friday nites they have karaoke. For the most part the music is in Spanish but the DJ will play what ever you'd like to sing. They have seating inside and outside as well. I ordered 2 micheladas, they were just the way I like my micheladas. For dinner I had Enchiladas Mexicanas. Not exactly like my mommas but really close. I will definitely be coming back on any given Friday nite. read more

My boyfriend and I came right at 9:40PM on a Friday night, and the place closes at 10PM. Whoops. Service was nice though! One of the waitresses didn't really speak English, but another person came and took over. My boyfriend ordered an al pastor super burrito for $8, which was good! They don't skimp on the avocado they put in it. I got a carne asada regular burrito for $7. It comes with hot sauce, but I can't handle spicy so I asked to take it out. The chips and salsa before the meal were good! Overall, this place can be the new spot. Prices are awesome and food is great! read more

Since it has been raining i was in the mood for something hot. Why not, posole. A group of co-workers have gone to this spot before. I ordered some pozole to receive only bones in the soup. No meat of any kind. Also, the tostadas were stale. i had waited a long time for this order since they cashier said they were making a fresh batch. Maybe out of Juanita's can soup. Very disappointed. Not to say, it wasn't worth $20.00. read more

Would be a 4.5 but the portions you get in a burrito for the price you pay is kind of lacking compared to other taquerias. Ive tried the al pastor super burrito ($9 w/o tax) and the shrimp grande burrito (12.99, 14.19 w/ tax) and both were delicious. ...Meat and filling comes out hot. Salsa is delicious (Trust me ive had wack tasting salsa). Tortilla is grilled w/ a nice crunch. This place and sante fe taqueria are my two favorites in SJ right now. Both places are a level above the competition. Overall, id come back to try other items. read more

I called to make sure that they were open as we had my kids and grandkids. We were coming back from Monterey and we were all hungry! They welcomed us, told us to come on in! They had a table ready for all of us, and happily took our orders. We felt like we were at a family member's home. The menudo was excellent, the shrimp burrito tasty, enchiladas were yummy and the kids loved the beans and rice and quesadillas. Kinda lost in the shopping plaza, they have a food truck out front. This is the inside restaurant. Great service, great food, great people! read more

I don't usually this bad of reviews because I love Mexican cuisine so much but la e Ramada needs to improvement on their plates service and flavors. To go service from them was very disappointing since I've been there previously and I liked their bistek ranchero with their micheladas but this time went to order to take home. Their chicken flautas were decent and quite flavorful. But then my order 2 plates to go where quite a disaster. The shrimp la diabla was unbearable spicy and I take take spicy food and the combo fajitas with chicken and shrimp was very oiling and not charred at all. These 2 plates traditionally are plated with some guacamole on side but happens to be not existence as well as pico de gallo coming with chips to go. I look forward to see improvements from other clients. read more

My boyfriend and I decided to stop by the taco truck here to buy carnita tacos for our dog. Yes.. we spoil our dog with tacos haha. Well anyways my boyfriend was hungry and wanted to try the tacos so he ordered a carne asada and al pastor taco here for himself. I took a bite out of both his tacos and they were pretty darn good. The al pastor taco was so good, I wanted to order some too. We ended up getting more carne asada and al pastor tacos for ourselves. Honestly, the al pastor tacos are better than their carne asada tacos. I really liked the al pastor and will definitely come here again when I'm in the area. This place surprised me. I didn't think their tacos were going to be good but they proved me wrong. This is why you shouldn't judge a place based on their appearance. read more

A hidden gem in a strip mall with tasty food! They also give free chips and salsa with your meal but beware that the salsa is pretty SPICY! I was so excited that this place had Molé Enchiladas, but unfortunately they were out the day I went. However they have a large selection of entrees that I had plenty of other things I wanted to try. Tostada de camaron 10/10 - the tostada was piled high with shrimp ceviche and the freshest slices of avocado Torta de lengua 10/10 Delicious! I have never had the pickled jalapeños and carrots in a torta until this one and it was a nice added flavor. The lengua was also very soft and chewy. Tacos Dorado 9/10 - my boyfriend got two cabeza and one al pastor and while the cabeza was so tender, the al pastor was pretty dry. The beans on the other hand were delicious Altogether, this hole in the wall is delicious and well priced. I can't wait to come back and try more! read more

This has to be my favorite mexican restaurant! I feel like this place is so underrated because of the location. Thanks again, yelp! You did us good. Complementary Chips & Homemade Salsa- Spicy! So beware! I love it, but my friends can't handle it that well. Tacos- BOMB! Probably the best I've had so far. All the meat we chose (asada, al pastor, cabeza, and lengua) were cooked perfectly and has really good flavor. You don't even need to add extra sauce. They don't skimp on the meat either so you get your moneys worth. Carne Asada Fries- You can't beat homemade fries! I love the thick cut. It doesn't get soggy like Iguanas and their portion is huge. Micheladas w/ Shrimp- What we came here for! Spicy and perfectly cooked shrimp. Very flavorful. I usually get it with negro modelo. Service was great! The lady who helped us was friendly. She even checked up on us a few times. We always leave happy and full. Next time I'll have to try their desserts! :-) read more
