    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!

    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!

    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.

    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

    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.

Today, I decided to order the Chicken Fajitas, and it completely exceeded my expectations. Without a doubt, it was the most delicious fajitas dish I have ever had. The chicken was perfectly seasoned, the vegetables were cooked just right, and all the flavors came together beautifully. Everything was cooked to perfection. The portion size was very generous, and the sides were fantastic. The guacamole, sour cream, Spanish rice, and black beans were all fresh, flavorful, and complemented the meal perfectly. I've always enjoyed the food here, but from now on the Chicken Fajitas will definitely be my regular order. Well-deserved 5 stars. Thank you, El Halal Amigos!

    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

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)

    I was excited to see Shrimp'n Ain't Easy back for Gordon Biersch Night Markets for Summer 2026…read more Their Chop Cheese and Cheesesteak are still my favorite menu items, with juicy shrimp and crispy meat in each bite. Sometimes they provide green tomatillo sauce on top of the traditional orange sauce, which is great for cutting through the grease and cheese as it's tangy and sweet. We tried the Magnolia Chop for the first time and while this was great too, the hot link makes everything slightly saltier than I'm used to and is much more heavy and filling. I'll stick with the cheesesteak or chop cheese next time but will try more of their menu items going forward. Food arrives quickly even during the crowds and long lines at the night market. I've never waited more than 35 minutes combined for both the line to order and being called for our number to pick up our food.

For the quality and generosity you get, these are well worth the price (Crab - $10, Vampiro - $8), and I was quite full after these two. Very fast service too, even during busy afternoons.
