    The food here is really great coming from Southern California having authentic Mexican food. This place is really really great. I'd highly recommend coming here if you're in San Jose area visiting from Southern California moist chicken in the burrito great portion sizes. Also, the service is fantastic.

    Pretty decent taco spot! We've been here a few times and it's been consistently good. The beef tacos are delicious and my go to We have gotten their chips and salsa (you have to order it separately) and the salsa is decent; I like the green tangy salsa. One downside is that the shrimp isn't deveined, which was a bit of a miss so I have avoided shrimp but if they cleaned it I would get it Plenty of parking in the parking lot near by and plenty of outdoor seating too Good customer service, you have to bus your own table fyi, though sometimes they bus it for you Overall, it's a a decent spot when you are wanting tacos

    Carne asada burrito, couldnt wait to take a bite lol

    Came here while in the area for lunch. We were starving from running around all day and skipping breakfast. Good ole Yelp did its thing again and we found this place nearby. We said why not, cant really do bad with mexican food. This place blew our tastebuds away lol. They also live up to the name. We ordered and i took a trip to the bathroom tonwash my hands and when I returned to the table our food was ready. I ordered the carne asada nachos and hubby got the asada burrito. It was very good. Not sure what made it stand out but all of the ingridents were very well seasoned and the meat had a nice char on it. The food serving sizes where decent, i shared the nachos and was full but if i didnt I would have tried the tacos too hahahha. Hubby did say he wish the burrito was a bit bigger but he also gets his with no beans and that could be filling. Dont sleep on this place, cant wait to come back!

    Steak burrito

    What a gem of a spot we came across! My husband and I were looking for a quick dinner. Mexican food is something we can both agree on and we were happy to find Speedy's Tacos while in Sunnyvale. We were greeted by friendly staff who made some great recommendations to our order. There were some cute handwritten signs with their specials at the front. Another sign that caught my eye was one that stated that they were not a fast food restaurant, but a restaurant that served great food fast. We ordered an Al pastor taco, a carne asada taco, chicken enchiladas with chipotle sauce (recommended by staff) and chips and salsa. Everything was great! I'm glad I went with the chipotle sauce for the enchiladas (which came out piping hot!). My husband got the steak burrito which was also really good. The meat was seasoned nicely and was packed with rice and beans and salsa. The weather was mild for an evening in July, so we opted to dine on the patio. The staff came to check on us multiple times and cleared our plates when finished. So happy to have tried Speedy's Tacos and will definitely be back!

    Chorizo Torta

    Finally got the time to sit down and review this place. Speedy's is definitely one of those hidden gems in Sunnyvale - understated, a favorite for locals, with friendly service, comfortable seating, and most importantly, delicious food. My wife and I keep exploring new places, and we tried this one for lunch based on all the good reviews, and we weren't disappointed. We had a bunch of different tacos - Fish, Al Pastor, and Chorizo (not on the menu but also available), and a Chorizo Torta. The tacos were delicious - just the right amount of meat and toppings and some good salsas to go with it. The Torta was good, but the bread itself was not that good - too sweet for my taste. I wish they used something more rustic and less commercialized. That said, overall the meal was very enjoyable. I am sure we'll be back. Definitely recommend!

    Carne asada tacos
    Jessica P.

    I have been coming to this place for close to 10 years. And I always leave super satisfied. I always get the asada tacos. And my husband always gets the torta de asada. Don't forget to ask for the orange sauce if you like spicy! Gives food a great kick! Service is always on point. Very kind. Ambiance is great. Love the background music. And nice patio if you want to enjoy the outdoors. P.S (If you're coming to the SUPER BOWL and will be around the area this place is a must!!!))

    Fish Taco
    Shivani T.

    TACOS!! A very simple dish but hard to nail it right! Our family loves Tacos, we found this place on yelp as we needed a quick bite. We drove to Speedy's and sat outdoors. We ordered fish, pulled pork, al Pastor and shrimp tacos. The server was very nice and welcoming and was taking orders and serving food! It was a quick service. We all felt Tacos were good as compared to what we had so far in Bay Area but we have had better tasting ones like beach house Ventura! We will go again for sure to try new things!

    Tacos - lengua, pulled pork and shrimp
    Da Kat A.

    We always have good experience with this place. Staff is friendly, food is good and they have a decent outdoor dining area. After your order at the counter, the food comes out fairly fast. They have many choices for their soft taco (beef, 2 kinds of pork, chicken, shrimp, beef tongue, fish). All is good except chicken is a bit dry though. Their beef burrito is very good too. Whenever I feel like taco, we'd like to come and support local business.

    Taco de Lengua and Al Pastor Taco
    Tracy C.

    Very reasonable price for tacos that arrive quickly. I got the lengua and the al pastor, and they both came out in about 5 minutes. The meats were juicy and well seasoned, and the tomatillo sauce and the spicy sauce were both good as well. It's not quite as good as El Grullense in Redwood City or Palo Alto, but it's certainly good tacos! Being able to sit on the patio is a plus, although the patio faces a road so it can be quite loud if there's a lot of traffic.

    Lengua tacos and Shrimp Quesadilla
    Jackie N.

    Solid spot for a quick bite! Between two people we got the shrimp quesadilla and 2 lengua tacos. The tacos were nice and tasty and came with the essential jalenpenos, lime, and radish. My favorite item is the shrimp quesadilla, they really fill it with lots of shrimp and the cheese is nice and thick. I love that it comes with guacamole. It's such a simple quesadilla but they make it super well! They have some indoor seating and outdoor seating if you have any pets.

    Been coming here since 2020 and it's still one of my favorite date spots to take my wife. A small beautiful comforting vibe with a welcoming and amazing staff! The food is as some would say "chefs kiss". My go to is the quesadilla de asada with their amazing spicy orange sauce! Thanks Speedys!

    I ordered three different types of the taco, Chicken Taco, Al Pastor Taco and Carne Asada Taco. I think their taco is a bit oily.

    I ordered three different types of the taco, Chicken Taco, Al Pastor Taco and Carne Asada Taco. I think their taco is a bit oily. The chips cost additional 2 dollars, some other taco restaurant offered for free. They have some special hot sauce you can try.

    Is this halal?

    No not halal I'm sorry but there's a halal restaurant in the same plaza.

    Do chips and salsa come with the entrees, or do you have to order them separately?

    Chips and salsa are 2 dollars extra but if you order a beer or sangria they are free. If you order a small or large guac that will also come with chips and salsa.

    Is there outdoor seating?

    Yes! There are a few tables outside with sun umbrellas.

    Is ensalada on the menu? How about fish taco?

    They do have yummy fish tacos!

    Hi! Are you guys doing catering during covid19? Wondering if I can arrange catering for a birthday party.

    Sorry I'm just seeing this but yes it would have been possible we still do caters 👍🏼

    What is the spicy chili oil called that you leave on the tables!?

    Chile de aceite or chili oil 😅 does contain peanut

    Whats inside speedy taco's chimichanga?

    It's basically a deep fried burrito w/ meat of your choice.

    Do you/they offer flour flautas or Gringa/gringo flautas? Many restaurants say they offer "flautas" but they actually use corn tortilla, which are taquitos

    We use corn tortillas :)

I eat here about 3 times a week and I'm slowly trying all the different types of meat. I love the tender shredded chicken and the Asada is OMG juicy chunks of flavorful steak! Not at all like the tough overcooked and thin meat scraps you get at other taquerias. The pork Pibil is similar to the shredded chicken in texture and wonderfully flavored as well. I got the Tortilla soup on a rainy day and it hit the spot. Making me look forward to more rainy days! The inside is decorated so cheerfully and my favorite is the little piñata planters on each table! So adorable! I ordered some delivery for my parents tonight and they were blown away by their chile Rellano and enchiladas Suizas. They absolutely loved the chips and freshly made guac too! Two more satisfied long term customers! I love that they always start my Horchata the second I walk in. It's creamy and delicious a never has that gritty texture at the bottom. Yum! So glad I was introduced to this place. It's definitely on the top of my list when I'm in the mood for Mexican food. Oh and if you like spicy ask for the orange sauce! The nice man warned me and it definitely has a kick, but if you can hang with the heat the flavor is superb!!!

We ordered chips and salsa, but when we got home it wasn't in the bag. The tacos were just okay, the grilled chicken were decent but the carne asada weren't worth it. The carne asada meat was too big and full of fat and tendon. The diablo shrimp were so hot my husband had to rinse off the sauce to continue eating them. Their rice and beans were decent, but nothing special to report. I wouldn't return. There are far too many locations in the greater San Jose area that have much better food for less.

However don't overlook how good their food is. We tried a few of their specialties and my daughter had her usual cheese quesadilla with refried beans. The server was great and very helpful. He recommended a few dishes which we ended up trying. First, the chips and salsa here are great. The chips are very crispy and seem like they're made in house. The salsas taste pretty fresh as well. I ordered the Shrimp Al Tequila. I've never seen a dish like this on a menu, so I thought I'd try it. It has a very, very warm spicy heat to it. You can taste the flavors from the tequila and the capers and olives. It's a wonderful dish, although I wish there were more shrimp on it! My wife had the Pollo. Al Xocohoqui (I know I'm misspelling that). The sauce here is rich, mild in spice, creamy and nutty. My daughter's quesadilla was actually one of the best I've ever had. The cheese blend is just really good and the tortilla is perfectly fried on both sides. The real star though is their flan. Holy moly was this incredible. It had amazing flavor and the texture was rich, almost like cheesecake. I could eat this flan every day of my life. Bravo Roberto! The real star here though

First things first: the margaritas were really good. Well-balanced, refreshing, and exactly what you want at a cantina. They definitely know what they're doing behind the bar. The atmosphere was energetic and fun, though it did get a bit loud while we were there. It was a crowded night, so that probably contributed to both the noise level and the slower service. Drinks and food took a little longer than expected, but the staff was genuinely kind and doing their best to keep up with the rush, which we appreciated. One thing I loved was the variety on the menu--lots of options, so there's something for everyone whether you're craving classics or something a little different. Overall, a solid spot for good margaritas and a lively night out--just be prepared for some noise and possible wait times if you go during peak hours!
