Taco Bravo in Campbell has truly survived the test of time. I have been eating here for about 30 years and through the pandemic, recessions and countless businesses coming and going they are still standing. I remember coming here in the late 90s when it was the go-to spot for cheap eats, late-night munchies or food after a party or club. It was not always easy on the stomach but it had a distinct taste that became a staple among the homies. Back then a couple tacos, a bean burrito and a soda could run you five or six bucks. Dollar tacos were the vibe. Fast forward to 2026 and like most fast-food spots after the pandemic prices have gone up. Tacos are around $3.79, bean burritos closer to seven dollars and a full meal with a drink can land around $14. Not the steal it once was but still reasonable by today's standards. What has also changed is the crowd. Back then it was mostly college kids and a younger scene. Now it is an older crowd that appreciates places like this because so many others have disappeared. Even the parking lot tells the story with EVs sports cars and exotics mixed in where beaters once parked. No matter how people feel about the food Taco Bravo deserves recognition. It is still here still serving and still part of the local fabric. I left a negative review years ago but time and perspective matter. For longevity alone this place has earned a better rating from me. read more

Taco Bravo - Mexican Near Me - Campbell, California

Cannot beat their $1.99 Taco Thursday deal! Fast friendly service and fresh tacos loaded with lots of meat and shredded cheese. Be sure to eat them fresh or at least open the bag and wraps so they don't get soggy on the way home. They also have $1.99 Tostada Tuesday but they're a bit unwieldy and messy to me. Cash discount! read more

OOF. I know Taco Bravo is a Campbell institution... For the drunchies. The way La Vic's is in DTSJ. A place where you visit when you've lost your dignity and standards several drinks ago. I was expecting Taco Bell caliber food without the hershey squirts and Taco Bravo couldn't even deliver that. Maybe I wasn't buzzed enough because I could still read the menu...$8.79 for one bravo taco?! So, nachos it is! But, what monster eats nachos with cold unmelted cheese (no nacho cheese underneath)?! Do they expect peeps to have a blowtorch in their bag?! And, not like it was cheap either. I know it's shrinkflation times but $12.99 for "fast food" nachos containing 90% chips and unmelted cold cheese with little ground beef and refried beans is ridic. read more

Taco Bravo - Mini Nachos | $12.99 - serving nachos with cold unmelted cheese is diabolical - Mexican Near Me - Campbell, California

This review is very subjective. But apparently after all these years I enjoy Taco Bravo sober. Bravo over Taco Bell. They even made some changes to their hot sauce which is surprisingly better than the past. Id give it 5 stars if my farts would let me. read more

It's a better version of Taco Bell. The lady at the front is super sweet. Churros, burrito (beef) and quesadilla (shredded chicken) were good. Decent for the price can't complain. read more

It's been years since I've visited and I don't think much has changed except the prices. Still relatively cheap, though. Portions are huge. The mini nachos are way more than enough for one person. Super taco still hits, but maybe not as much as when you've had a few too many drinks. read more

Old school hard shell tacos. This place is great. A must when I'm in the area. Best when you let them sit in the wrapper for a few minutes. read more

Average at best. Really surprised that they have this real prime estate, and have not been overtaken by some place that can deliver some street tacos. Should have read the reviews before going. Super pricey for what you get. $25 for 4 tacos and they were nothing to rave about. Super fast but not great. read more

Get the number 1: u get a taco and bean burrito with s small drink. Good tasting taco, fresh lettuce and cheese. Its good sized. Bean burrito is good sized too. Beans, onion and cheese. Customer service: good and fast service. read more

What lured my partner and I to Taco Bravo was the huge banner showing the $1.29 deals. We came on a Tuesday thinking it was taco Tuesday, but it was actually Tostada Tuesday haha. Service is nice, the worker in the back gave us a sample of the pork to share before ordering. We ended up getting four tostadas- beef, chicken, and pork. The quality of the ingredients were not great, cheese was clumped insanely together and meat was quite salty. I would say this is equivalent to Mexican fast food. Decent for the price though! read more

Taco Bravo - Tostada Tuesday - Mexican Near Me - Campbell, California

The Bravo Taco is still my favorite item. The beef burrito is basically just ground meat and cheese, which is kind of wild. It is not a bad deal if you wanted a ton of meat, but I wouldn't be able (or want) to eat the whole thing in one sitting. The chili burger is not actually a burger topped with chili, it is their taco meat sandwiched between a bun. I thought it was decent but I would still recommend the Bravo Taco above anything else I have tried. read more

So I DoorDash a beef burrito and there was literally no beef in my burrito. Wtf is that? I will never come back here again. My drunk munchies are ruined lol it's not funny but at least I'm a happy drunk. read more

Especially the cheese of freshly grated and the taco shells! You can't get a better taco anywhere else! Plus I like the weekly specials! Great Customer service! read more

This place can't be beat. Parking is ok, they're open late, their combo burritos are tasty, they pack with flavor plus the salsa is flavorful. way better than Taco Bell. Plus they're really fast. After I ordered I didn't even get a chance to sit down and they had my food ready. They use actual real beef and other real ingredients. Pricing is affordable one of the last remaining actual low prices fast food joints. read more

I went for taco Thursday and while the tacos were edible and the prices were good, I wouldn't go out of my way to go back. For context, I would essentially always go to Taco Bell before going here again. I also thought it was weird that the tacos are labeled as "meat" tacos but it doesn't specify. I had to ask the cashier 3 times what meat it was before he said ground beef. It seems like a simple question, but apparently not. read more

Taco Bravo - Me eating my favorite chili burger - Mexican Near Me - Campbell, California

Love this place! Fresh-to-order churros! Love the taco sauce, it's different and good!

Been going there every Thursday I spent $36, 15 tacos and side of cheese sauce. Asked for 1 sauce per taco like always and now 10 sauces the limit. Their sign did not say 10 limit. Did not honor the posted sign 1 sauce per taco. Been going there for over 20 years. My mom worked there years ago catering for the schools. Very disappointed in the customer service If the sign is incorrect then they should have said something when I ordered over 10 tacos. read more

My husband has wanted to come here for a long time. Taco bravo is a sponsor for racers. We finally went, and the food was great. I had 2 taco bravo, 1 chicken and 1 ground beef. He had 4 regular tacos. It was so good we stopped on our way back from vacation as well! read more

Taco Bravo - The Crème de la Crème of Trash Dining In the ever-growing decision to get trash, we proudly bring you another episode of Trash Dining--and today's featured dive is none other than Taco Bravo. It's always the same late-night crossroads: gas station wings and a crusty taquito... or Taco Bravo. And let's be honest--Taco Bravo is the crème de la crème of trash dining. No contest. A San Jose staple, this spot doesn't pretend to be fancy. It exists for one reason: to feed you when the sun's down and your standards are even lower. The legendary taco + bean burrito combo wrapped together like some stoner-engineered delicacy? Still hits. Add that watery hot sauce that somehow pulls the chaos together, and you're golden. The food? Greasy. Cheesy. Possibly a dare. The fries? Sad, salty, and addictively limp. The vibe? Peak 90s Taco Bell energy mixed with gas station charm. Taco Bravo isn't good--but it's GOOD. A certified hood classic. A love letter to poor decisions. And somehow, it never misses. read more

I can't say it's 5 stars but on taco Thursday for $2 tacos it's worth it ! Very consistent and does the job ! Love the salsa.

It's not a typical street side taco. There is no flavor to the food. If you are looking for less spicy/bland taco, you can try here. It's definitely not an authentic taco place. read more

Likely wouldn't go back. This place seems to be a Campbell staple but I don't see why. I was pretty hesitant to try this place after walking up. There were cashiers taking orders and touching money followed by making food all with the same gloves. Yuck. The self serve salsa pumps were crusty and looked like they could use a good clean. I tried the original taco and a spicy bean and cheese burrito with onions. The bean and cheese burrito was salty with no other seasoning and was nowhere near spicy. The taco was loaded with cheese and had a nice crunchy shell but the meat was pretty bland as well. read more

I've been here a good handful of times now and can say they're pretty consistent. Whether it's top quality or meets your needs is for you to decide. Located off Bascom rd, there's a small parking lot that they share with weinerschnitzel. The building screams 1970s, like the old school taco bell joints. The menu isn't too extensive but the staples hit the spot. I've ordered the beef burrito, chicken tacos, Chile Verde burrito and they all pass the test. Kinda low quality junk food in the ranks of taco bell and del taco with an old school longevity style to it like nations? Despite what that sounded like, the food is shamefully good! Del taco and taco bravo rank pretty high in my book and that's no lie. Price wise, you might have to order more than one item to get full which can add up but it isn't too far off from anywhere else. Don't forget to get your self serve out of a pump container hot sauce, it magnifies the good notes. I recommend everybody try this place at least once. You'd be surprised how much you like the food read more

The food is awesome. It's open late. It's been around for years so you know it's good.

Love this place. Local and family owned. Had an amazing bean burrito . The customer service is awesome.

Big delicious bean and cheese burritos that I became hooked on in the 1990's. And continue to be till today. I have to buy at least 3 or 4 every time I visit Taco Bravo. I said goodbye to Taco Bell the first time I ate one of their burritos!! I'm addicted for life. read more

If you are looking for authentic Mexican food, scroll on by. If custom-seasoned ground beef or shredded chicken tacos are your jam, or if you wax nostalgic about the way the much more popular and ubiquitous "TB" restaurant was in the 80's before they started mixing sawdust into your meat, this place is worth a visit. It's a family-owned business. They had a second location in Fremont for a long time, that was franchised for a while before it closed. There were also a couple locations where they took over old Taco Bells in San Jose and Saratoga, but those likely fell victim to the 2008 recession. Through it all, the OG Campbell location (between Philz and Weinerschnitzel across from the Pruneyard) has stayed open. They don't skimp on anything. One regular soft taco is a light lunch by itself. A Super Taco will satisfy a teenage boy. Taco Delite? What's that? Order one and thank me later. Come on Tuesdays for cheap tostadas, Thursdays for cheap tacos. Be sure to get a tub of their hot sauce. It's unique and tasty. The recipe is a closely guarded secret. Occasionally they sell it in refillable bottles. Nope, not a sponsored review. I did wear a Taco Bravo T-shirt on my honeymoon, though! I live over an hour away, but anytime I am in the area, I stop by. read more

Still a good deal, but mostly on Taco Thursdays. Bean & cheese burrito just under $5. Mini nachos are $12.99 which is not a good value, hardly any chips. The guy who made my burrito last time did an amazing job, it was huge & very good. read more

I've been a big fan of this place for years! Sadly during a recent visit I was shocked to see their taco price has increased to $4.10, I think. All of the prices went up. I would happily pay this amount for the tacos I knew and loved. This taco was smaller with half- the -meat. I felt ripped off. It wasn't not the same. The tostada also had much less beans on it. I don't plan on returning anytime soon.... read more

Great customer service Eric has a great front window vibe only negative is no optuion to give a tip on digital experience was Super

Negative reviews for this mom and pop stop really bug me. Some history....there used to be 3 locations. The chronic ADA sue happy lawyer put 2 of the 3 restaurants out of business. You can look this guy up on an easy web Search. This Campbell location is the last one....it has been here since I was a kid in 1980's. The food is way better than any Taco Bell. Tostada Tuesdays and Taco Thursdays are the weekly specials. Lines out to the sidewalk at dinner time on Thursdays. Please, don't trash this place and litter. The little old lady, you will see there, is the owner. She is super nice and sweet. She walks around the parking lot and property cleaning up everyone's litter. She talks to people and makes sure you are enjoying your food. We don't need any more long time food businesses going down from California making it difficult on them, to stay afloat. Face it, nothing is cheap to eat out in California. Savor what we have left and keep giving them business. I will continue to go there and buy a regular priced item, on top of my 3 weekly special tacos. I love Taco Bravo! read more

I used to go to TB many years ago after going to the club, which was one of our go-to places for cheap late-night eats for the munchies. My favorite was their Taco Delight. The past couple of years have gone downhill. The meat doesn't taste as good as I remember it; and more recently, the cost has gone way up. Yea, I get it...inflation, etc. Ok, so we'll get the $1.29 Taco Thursdays once in a while when the family wants some, even though they make as many as they can ahead of time and the meat is already cold when get them. read more
