Birria tacos -mmm great consume. Friendly family run business. My son said 10/10- I'm going 9 just in case I find one better. Quesadilla money as well and they have their own orange sauce. Highly recommend.

I live right across from them and wanted to support. DEFINITELY NOT COMING BACK. The lady seem unfriendly and a bit racist if you're Asian and also said price is $4.00 for 1 birria taco not $3.50 like their menu sign... soo... maybe change your menu prices? I paid cash too so doesn't make sense to tax me either

Pastor mulitas
Marlette C.

I got a craving for tacos, so I decided to try them out. They've been on my list to check out. They have a short menu and a decent selection of meat to choose from. I ordered the pork pastor mulitas, chicken taco, and carne asada taco. It took about 10-15 minutes to get my order. I hung out at their little seating area while I waited. The mulitas is $6 and a taco is $3.50. I liked the pastor meat the best. It had good flavor, and the meat was tender. The chicken and asada were so dry and lacked flavor. The salsas, except for the avocado salsa, were all soooo spicy. I'm glad I was able to tolerate the avocado one at least. I'll come back for their pastor. Staff is really friendly too. Only 2 ppl working when I went - one to take orders, the other to cook.

Carne Asada Tacos (2)   Got a bonus tortilla and beans one which was just ok.

Quick bite to eat and ordered 2 carne asada tacos. Made to order and fresh and the service is so friendly. I heard folks asking for the orange sauce which was ok. I should have asked for the red and green to try too but felt bad seeing I only had 2 tacos. Will surely come back and try a burrito or quesadilla!

Chicken and cheese quesadilla
Allie E.

Friendly neighborhood spot with reasonable prices considering you get a lot of food! Have had both the tacos and quesadillas and they are both amazing. The people that own it are friendly and kind and are happy to answer any questions that you have. We live nearby and frequent this place often!

Rico tacos

Ricos tacos, bomb ass quesadillas here on the southside of San Jose on Cherry and Branham Lane. Come get your tacos from Guido friendly person very nice person. Best tacos in town right now that I tried. Service is excellent. Stays open late come try him out.

Steet tacos. Chorizo. Total 4$

4.5 stars tacos. This food truck is right new to my place, on the parking lot of the Liquor Bin and Pizza Hut (on Cherry). I recently added Rico's on Yelp as he really deserves to be known! Some of my favorite street tacos are served here. Rico will also accommodate his tacos to your taste as best as he can. Carnitas, lengua and chorizo are my favorites. At 2$ a piece you get tasty, flavorful tacos with complimentary beans on a hard tortilla. The truck is very clean. Features a bunch of tasty spicy sauces. You can get complimentary grilled Jalapenos if you ask. If you are super hungry, don't forget to try to 2$ plain cheese quesadilla. You can even grab a drink from the liquor store near by and enjoy while having your favorite Taco! Great food for late night craving, friendly service at great prices.

Quesadilla

The food is always delicious and the staff are super nice, we come here everyday. Nice outside environment too.

It's a taco truck. I realized too late they wanted a silly high price for a burrito and it was pretty bland. I think like 12 bucks if I'm not mistaken.

He's still here and not closed. Dunno why Yelp says it's closed

Reviews are largely positive. Many highlight the flavorful tacos and burritos, friendly staff, and fast service. The outdoor seating is also appreciated.

I would suggest that the serve mention that when taking orders so we know. Just because it's at the very bottom of the menu I didn't notice it until I asked for a dessert menu. The food was so good! We had Mexican jambalaya, Carne asada plate, tacos Dorado, enchiladas with both sauces, parillada, enfrioladas (bean enchiladas) tacos de pescado, Don julio flight, multiple drinks and churros. The churros were really good although we wish there was a non filled ones too and to have the optionof if we wanted it dressed up because churros are already super sweet with the cinnamonand sugar dusted but caramel and whip cream was added along with a strawberry filling. We also ordered a tres leches cake but we didn't like the tres leches cake, it was too sweet, so sweet that we couldn't taste the filling which we assume was pineapple lol the color was yellow with pieces of fruit but we couldn't taste it. Overall the service was great and quick. I would definitely come back here.

Plenty of parking available since the restaurant is in a strip mall. It wasn't too busy when we got there, but then it started picking up. There was only one server working and she was really hustling to meet everyone's needs. Plus, she was friendly. I had the carne asada burrito, it was good but nothing over the top that made it stand out. My friend had enchiladas with mole. We were most excited about dessert and decided to share the churros and Tres leches. It was a nice touch that the churros and Tres leches did not come plain, a little pizzazz since they were both served with berries, whipped cream, and a cajeta style sauce. Both of the desserts were so good and a perfect touch of sweetness.

They charged us for an adult Chicken and Waffles even though we sent it back and got the correct kids' portion I originally ordered. They also charged us for TWO molcajetes when only ONE came out. The check went from $265 to $200 after we caught everything. 1000000% they were hoping we wouldn't notice. I could believe it was an honest mistake if two molcajetes had come out, but they didn't. Since gratuity was already included, it really makes me wonder how many people have overpaid without realizing it. We came in with a group of 6. Everything was okay at first. We ordered chips with salsa and beans, and the beans were delicious, so we ordered a second round. At most restaurants, chips and salsa are free, so we assumed the same here. Unfortunately, we were never told the second round wasn't free, or that only one refill was included, and no one asked if we were okay with the additional charge. My dad and I shared the molcajete, which was pretty good, had enough meat, and was literally BOILING hot. My MIL and husband both ordered the Carne Asada plate. It was tasty but had really small portions, so we had to share our food with them to fill them up. My kids ordered French toast and chicken strips. They were originally supposed to get Chicken and Waffles, but they were out of waffles or couldn't make them--I'm not really sure. This is where the problems started. I specifically said KIDS chicken & waffles twice when ordering, but they brought out the adult size for my oldest, which was $8 more. Fine, we can call that an honest mistake, but then it was also charged on the final bill even after we sent it back. Unfortunately, after everything with the bill, we will NOT be going back here again.

The staff were attentive, gave great menu recommendations, and constantly came by to refill our water. Very spacious dining room. We started with the Queso Fundido, served on a small hot plate with chilis, garlic, and oil on top. It's basically a block of cheese served with chips. Even with the hot plate, it didn't stay gooey for long, but it was a pretty good starter. The Coconut Campachano was creamy and refreshing. It also came with chips, though ours seemed like crumbs from the bottom of the barrel. We got the Trompo tacos and Sautéed Shrimp tacos. Both were tasty, and the tortillas seemed fresh. Decent food, great service, small portions, a bit expensive for what you get and that's before the 4% fee.

My wife is Latina, so we're pretty familiar with authentic Latin/Mexican flavors, and from the moment we walked in, we were a little unsure of what to expect. We completely understand we're in Willow Glen and that Copita is going for a more upscale take, but for us, authenticity and flavor still have to be at the heart of the experience. Our waitress was very friendly and polite, and this review is absolutely not a reflection of her service. However, when we asked about the style of the food, there seemed to be a little hesitation in explaining it, which made us even more uncertain about what we had gotten ourselves into. I don't like bashing restaurants or their food, so I'll simply say that, unfortunately, the highlight of our meal was the chips and salsa. The cocktails, on the other hand, were good and definitely not shy on the alcohol! Also, don't expect large portions. The restaurant is clearly aiming for a more upscale presentation and experience, so the plates reflect that. Overall, Copita just wasn't for us. This was our first visit and unfortunately will probably be our last. I genuinely wish them success, but I think a few changes, especially when it comes to the flavors and authenticity of the food could make a big difference.

We were seated pretty quickly around 3pm on a Saturday, but it did take some time for our waiter to stop by and take our order. What was ordered: + Guacamole - this was a great appetizer to start with and to eat with the tacos we ordered. Their chips are fried well and thick to hold all that guac. + Carne asada tacos - the carne asada was cooked well and was tender but it didn't have a lot of flavor, it felt like the salsa had most of the flavor profile. The beans that come with the dish are delicious though! + Enchilada suiza - this was our favorite dish! The chicken was insanely tender and we were able to cut the enchiladas with our forks. The rice and beans were a great complement. Overall, we would definitely come back with friends in the future. I'd be interested to check out the parrilladas.
