Everyone is welcoming, friendly, and makes you feel like a regular from the moment you get there. The food is incredible. It delivers an authentic experience with fresh ingredients and bold, flavorful food. I've ordered the al pastor both times, and it's been excellent each visit. The pollo and carne asada also look amazing, so I'll definitely be trying those next. The salsa is fresh and packed with flavor. If you're coming here for the first time, I highly recommend getting a burrito. You won't be disappointed. If you're looking for authentic Mexican food with great service and consistently delicious food, Taqueria El Chacho is absolutely worth a visit.

Cool photo ops and art on display, DJ playing lively music. Parking horrific in this plaza, the event space small and crowded AF, lack of variety of food options (some of the listed vendors and eateries not even on site), numerous food stands with items sold out and crossed off on the menus three hours before closing time on Saturday. I did pick up a sweet and delicious chocolate chip cookie from Browned Butter Babe before leaving, but overall I was not impressed with this event.

There was a dj playing music. I heard some Justin Bieber while standing in line for food. Food was so good and my favorite was thai tea in a bag. So worth it and great price. It was authentic and stronger than a Thai tea I had at another food market I went to. Menus were hard to see at night, but I was surprised and happy with the bun baos which was hot and juicy. $16 for 2. Highly suggest grabbing a Nha sunset drink. I saw lots of people walking around with an orange drink with their brand on it. It's so popular. They had 2 other drinks, but their shop said it was sold out. I have noticed that parking was difficult. I think in general my bf said that Grand Century Mall/aka Vietnam Town is busy. We parked more on the side of the night market instead of the entrance to the mall. Walk was short to the night market. Fun night with bf and my sister.

The lady is so nice and the wait is not long. This truck is now one of my go to's spots. Even though they are right on the street the cars passing by its not even loud or dusty, people even stop on the street to pick up or you see people in their cars enjoying the consommé.

The taste was very similar to what we get back home, with options to makes the water spicy or sweet. The owners are friendly. They saw my 3 year old and gave a couple puris for her to munch. Only thing is, I would have liked it even more if the pani puris were served live instead of serving the pani and puri separate on a plate. Would enhance the experience. Nonetheless the pani puri was tasty and very reasonably priced.

Attended the San Jose Mini Night Market on Saturday evening. Was lucky to find free street parking…read morea block away on Third Street (free after 6pm on Saturdays, and all day Sunday). Free admission, no line for entry, advance tickets unnecessary, no ticket check at all. This food festival is almost identical to 626 and Foodieland, but only one fifth the size. It had all the same elements, just "mini" versions... a mini stage with live music, a mini sized area with games and prizes, a minimal number of merchandise vendors, minimal seating options (mostly near the stage), and even less tables, so hopefuly you like eating on your lap or standing up, and even with about 20 food trucks/tents and drink stands, it felt like minimal food offerings as well. Good news is this meant the crowds, lines, and waits were mini too, or non-existent. I went around 6pm, and I think the longest line I saw was about 7-8 people, and for many there was no line at all. Here's the food lineup for this Saturday when I visited (though this could change on Sunday, or during future events in October): Flor de Pineapple PennyLane Sweets & Treats 3 Brothers Kitchen Chicken Bros Honey Cones ABVE The Basics Grenade beverages (more creative options than just giant baby bottles) Uncle Papa's BBQ Churro stand Heluo Kitchen Bun Me Up (bao buns) Supreme Musubi Katna's Kitchen (authentic filipino food) Spy Family (tea & lemonade) Pupuseria Nathalia California's Crepes Nana Bear's Mini Donuts Wise Jun-Kombucha Mezcla (Columbian eats) Potato Hut Kimoy (chamoy korean-mexican fusion candy) By 6:30pm, several trucks started to run out of popular items, but there were still plenty of options. I only tried the shrimp quesadilla from ABVE The Basics, and chocolate donuts from Nana Bear's Mini Donuts. Both items were delish! Slightly overpriced as you would expect at this type of event, but the quality, ingredients, and service were more than satisfactory. They even put the food in takeout containers as requested. Had fun being a fatty... and you can too! For 2023, the San Jose event takes place downtown this weekend and returns for two different weekends in October.

Admission was free and I rsvp'd for tickets online, got an email and done. You could also scan a QR code at the entrance for free admission. It was not too full, so there were almost no lines for the food vendors. We were able to try a few different ones and also found a place to sit and eat. We did enjoy the selection of food vendors, just wished that the market overall had been a little bigger. Had a good time and would definitely go again next time.
