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

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

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

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.

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

Taco Bravo - Taco Thursdays! - Mexican Near Me - Campbell, California

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

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

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

A Campbell classic. Plenty of parking. Place is a little sus. Friendly employees. Fast service. Tacos were good, but def not $3.99/taco good. Come on Thursdays for their $1.29 taco special. 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

Pretty cool spot, be prepared to wait on Thursdays for tacos though. The line does usually move fast though. Add sour ceeam is my go to and since they make it fresh i prefer that. There is little containers of hot sauce which i really like too. This place is a staple here in Campbell. They are open late too which is where all the late night folks come to get their grub on. Its not muy delciouso but its good for what it is. I come for the cheese myself. 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

Cheap eats since the 80s! Well not as cheap anymore but still love this place. The bean and cheese burrito is giant and fat! Ask for the spicy green sauce and onions. We were a little disappointed with the hard chicken taco with the shredded chicken meat. This is usually very good but this batch was very bland. I didn't recognize any of the employees. Prices have certainly gone up. $5 for the burrito but still a better value versus The Bell. But a super burrito will run you $10. This is the last location remaining so we try to visit it often. My son loves this so we have to go here each time he comes home from college. $20 for 4 items which fed 3 people! What more can you ask for Don't forget Taco Thursday and Tostada Tuesday for the deals for $1.29!! We tried to call the restaurant to let them know that the shredded chicken quality and flavor was really sub-par but the voicemail was full and no one answered. Management needs to be aware of this! Forgot to take pics as we were hungry and ate it quickly. :-) read more

Portions here are HUGE, especially given the price. The bean & cheese burrito was ok but had too many onions. The super taco wasn't that great. It was dripping grease and the beef had no flavor. read more

Love this place. Great tacos and even better sauce! Staff is always cool and busy. The ambiance is no frills, outdoors and all about the food! 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

Usually Taco Bravo is the best. I ordered a Super Nachos for me and a Taco Delight for my wife. They now have order numbers so when I grabbed my order I didn't think to check the bag because every time we come here it's on point. I drove home all the way to Hayward only to find that they didn't put the Taco Delight in the bag. My wife's order, so we all know how that went. Now I am the jerk for not checking... Why Taco Bravo? Why? Needless to say I had to share my nachos and we are out the money spent on the Taco Delight. Contact info on Google is a disconnected telephone number and their website just takes you to DoorDash.... read more

Came here after a late night and ordered the Bravo Taco. Quick service, you can eat at the outside tables or get it to go. Prices increased but the tacos are really good, the fresh cheese make the taco. It is an all America Taco with a hard shell. Took it home and the shell was still crispy. They also sell burritos as well. Friendly staff and very casual place. Thursday -Saturday, they close at 3 am. read more

Reduced prices on Tostada Tuesday and Taco Thursday. Great deal if you need a night off from your kitchen. Elizabeth is welcoming, friendly and efficient. A terrific employee. Thank you Taco Bravo read more

We used to like Taco Bravo for admittedly cheap food. Munchies could be satisfied there for a few bucks. Not having been there since the 2019 plague, we didn't know what if any changes there would be. We're not naive, we knew prices have gone up BUT a $4.00 taco? WTF? And a $4.59 BEAN burrito? WTF? 3 tacos & 1 bean burrito was like $26! Yes the shell was larger than last time and to be fair, there was a handful of cheese! But nothing close to worth $26! I can no longer recommend Taco Bravo. read more

Moved to Campbell and ofc had to try Taco Bravo. I went 2x in a week for Tostada Tuesday and Taco Thursday. 99 cents!! They have a small parking lot in the back. There's a few tables at the side for dining outside. On Tuesday/Thursday they have different lines: one specially for people ordering tacos or tostadas and another line for other items. They do have other items on the menu like enchiladas and burritos. Definitely don't come here if you're expecting authentic tacos and tostadas b/c you'll be disappointed. The tacos are my favorite and it's definitely topped with a huge amount of cheese. The tacos taste better than Taco Bell but it can be a hit or miss. The tostadas are forgettable but you can give it a try and decide for yourself. Again, it's 99 cents for tostadas on Thursday & 99 cents for tacos on Thursday. Make sure to ask for the hot sauce! I guess if you're new to the neighborhood then you must visit Taco Bravo for fun! read more

Taco Bravo - 99 cents tostada - Mexican Near Me - Campbell, California

Lets just get the food out of the way. Not gourmet, not high end, not even Mexican. But it is good for scratching a weird itch in the brain. Lots a salt and fat make it a great way to distract your body from all the booze you drank. Now for the service. I have never been in a drug treatment clinic, but.... Yeah the person making your food is no stranger to jail and they tend to do a great job. No hate for helping people that are trying to get back on track. Don't mess with them or you might find a mop handle up your butt. Respect the staff, and you will get tons of cheese. The building is a odd mix of freezing your ass off, and wondering if the heaters are going to blow while you are under them. Better to go here drunk and get ready to see all kinds of humanity doing humanity stuff. I have seen stabbings, fist fights, PDA, a staffer pull a customer into the order window. But usually you get good cheap food with a dose of Campbell culture on the side. See you there some evening. read more

Food is . Great people. Chill spot great vibes. Kids like them, which is a big deal. A+

We just went back in and what a difference! 100% turnaround. We'll be back soon. The folks working here are on point.

I love Taco Bravo. I've loved Taco Bravo since the Taco La Paz days in 1978. They're probably the last American Mexican style fast food taco joint in the Bay Area. Taco Bell is nowhere near the quality or taste of Taco Bravo. It's not even comparable, so don't even dare to put them side by side. If anybody says Taco Bell's cheaper, they're just fooling themselves because their food is skimpy and it's not even cooked in the restaurant. It's pre-cooked and cryovac packaged crap from a factory. Taco Bravo cooks all their food in house, so it's fresh and it's real. Asking for extra cheese at Taco Bravo is not necessary, they put a ton of cheese on their products, almost enough to choke a horse. You definitely get your money's worth. At first glance the prices might seem high until you eat the food, then you realize you're getting a good deal. I've been a loyal customer for 47 years and the only thing that's stopping me from continuing is the fact that I'm moving out of state in August. I'm going to miss this immensely. There's almost every restaurant available in Las Vegas where I'm going, but there's no Taco Bravo. read more

Don't get their burritos. They are terrible. The inside was cold and it tasted worse than Taco Bell. Service is fine. Nothing crazy. It's a to go place so don't expect a nice area. Just chill outside with a few tables read more

Service was awesome! I grew up with the burritos and tacos. They made it just how I remembered it back in the day.

The food hits so hard after a gym session, or a soccer game. I've been going to this restaurant for my entire life, in fact my Father gave out cigars at the Campbell location when I was born. The entire time, they've delivered consistent quality and service the entire time. When someone brings up the GOAT of small-chain, family-owned restaurants, Taco Bravo should always come up. They support their community, local race tracks, and lower income patrons (provided via tostada Tuesday and taco Thursday). If asked to name an iconic staple for the South Bay Area, I will always say "Taco Bravo" (and so will my family). read more

No just No. This was very disappointing. Dirty, workers have their hair flowing everywhere, nothing is refrigerated. Sorry. Cannot gove this a good rating. Not worth it. read more

You guys are out of your mind. These tacos are too similar to the ground beef tacos you can make at home with simple ingredients from the grocery store, and 2 for $8.73?! Insanity. I will say I can understand if you grew up on this food it can feel nostalgic, but if you're a new customer you will more than likely not appreciate the food. read more

You should be able to tell what you're getting into the moment you see the place. It's like a living time capsule from another era. It's not haute cuisine it's not really authentic, but the hotsauce is actually fairly tasty, to be honest. The employees are pretty friendly as well and if they mess up something on your order you usually get it for free. Again if you want bougie this isn't your vibe, if you want a fat burrito that tastes decent and is overloaded with cheese then you've found your nirvana. Also highly recommend after you eat here you head over to Rasputins new and used record store (literally less than a 5 minute walk away) and support another small business. read more

Cheap munchies/drunk Mexican food with cheese, cheese, and more cheese. What's not to love. It's not the best Mexican food, but it does hit the spot. Might give some people the runs, but it didn't for me, so I'm definitely coming back. Love their late night hours. read more

This isn't exactly a taqueria and it's not a sit down Mexican restaurant, but it is a South Bay institution. It's unique. They're open very late and that's a bonus. The usual for me is hard shell tacos. Great hot sauce. This is the type of place you walk up to the window, place your order, take your bag back to your car and eat it there. They simple don't make places like this anymore. I don't know if they sell t-shirts anymore, but I bought one there once and got lots of people stopping me and happily saying they love Taco Bravo. Good value, good food, easy peasy. read more
