Review from John M.

UN-BE-FREAKIN'-LEIVABLE! High-quality food, tremendous value, fast service!
PROS:
Pretty cheap considering the quality and portions.
Food is served FAST!
Chips: I don't know what the particular style is... certainly not your average, thin, white corn, out of the bag type for sure... but they are the ABSOLUTE BEST I've ever had! Thick, hot &, I'm pretty sure, homemade. The only place that I've ever found them for sale is at the deli at Zanotto's Market. They are worth a trip all by themselves, BUT, you probably want to add some salsa, 'cause...
Salsa: The freakin' salsa is to die for! Perfect consistency, flavor and HEAT! This bald gringo judges heat by how many napkins it takes to dry his sweaty head, and this stuff is 4-napkin spicy. Perfect! And they sell it by the pint To Go.
Food: The hottest, temperature-wise, that you'll ever try to stick in your pie hole. Be warned and don't touch it for at least 3 minutes even though it is virtually impossible to resist burning at least half of your soft palate.
You can't go wrong with any wrapper you choose to have stuffed with chicken. It's shredded all white meat, tender, juicy and perfect.
The shredded beef is exactly the same.
The beans are molten, bubbly, cheesy and flavorful.
The rice is tender and yummilicious.
Iced tea, which is my drink of choice (Sweet N' Low & two lemon wedges) is HUGE and delish!
CONS:
The service isn't perfect, but more than adequate, especially if you flag someone down, which is relatively easy in the smallish, open dining room.
The temp in the dining room is HOT, especially during the summer.
$10 minimum on credit cards.
And the absolute worst for me... Not open on Sunday :(
I know there are at least 2 more locations, but this is the only one I've ever been to and I don't see any reason to stray.
Thanks 3! -
Review from Linda D.
I wouldn't come here unless I want a chavela! The food I tried was ok, but I rather go to a taqueria and order the same thing and have it taste way better for half the price. It's a pretty small place compared to the tlaquepaque I've been too on willow glen(Or somewhere around there). The other place has a waiting list! This place you get seated right away.
The servers are ok - a little mean and inattentive.
Salsa and chips- The best thing here, salsa was spicy and chips were fresh
Nachos - $3, came with a shit load of retried beans and cheese. But it didn't come with the jalapenos it said it would on the menu! Lies.
veggie quesidilla - $5, came with mushrooms and bell peppers, and not enough cheese! Hello the whole point of a quesidilla is for it to bell filled with cheese. Also towards the end of my quesidilla I took a bite and there was a bit of bacon in it. Thanks for trying to ruin my vegetarianism, jerks.
Anyways I wouldn't come back I rather go to the other tlaquepaque location if I was that desperate for a chavela, but I'm not. -

#1 reason why I come here, their YUMMY CHEVELAS ! Their beer is either dark or light, usually I ask for the light. It comes in a huge cup rimmed with sea salt . When you drink it I would lick a bit of the salt and the greatness comes along with a hint of lemon you could taste in there. (i'm actually imagining it right now ..) it tastes so good ! Note, they can only serve you three per person because they do not want to be responsible for getting you drunk.
The other reason for coming here is there shrimp Civeche. So so so good. =d The tortilla is super crunchy, on top of that, they would layer guacamole and their salsa with shrimp on top (civeche). Then I would take their lemon and squeeze it over. If you like it spicy add some tapitio sauce.
The other three stars is for their service, free chips and salsa, and because everything they serve comes out looking super fresh and HOT, so don't burn yourself.
The only thing that I dislike are they're small tacos. I normally order Carne asada but its very chewy and not so impressive. I also wish that they would make some kind of unique sauce to add flavor, but i would just add the salsa dip on top. -

Best mexican food I've ever had!!! I go here all the time. The Curtner location is my favorite for food, service, and seating (it's not as packed as the others).. Also, it is soooo affordable considering how satisfied you are after eating!!

Only one star because we walked in and were ignored for 15 minutes. No one sat us and when we tried to ask what was going on, were told to hold on before we could even ask, and were ignored again. We walked out. If it was going to take them this long to acknowledge us, we could only imagine how much longer it would take to order and get the food.

Tacos and burritos are ok, but nothing too special. I always get take out here and it is conveniently located near my house so I do come here and grab food from time to time, but it isn't a place that I would go out of my way to frequent. Meats can be on the dry side and salsas tend to be on the non-spicy side and a bit too watery for my taste.

It's been a while since I've been here. Unfortunately, I had to take away one star this time. The food is still good but the service has gotten a bit off. We were there with 6 and they were initially nice enough to move and combine 2 tables as we told them we were 7. One of us didn't show so they tell us they had to remove one of the tables. Now we had 6 people sharing a smallish table. A bit too snug to be comfortable. Another big party showed up later and they had another table move so they combine tables for them. Yikes!
Using the bathroom is a bit of a pain as well since you have to ask for the key from the wait staff who will then pull it from the wall near the kitchen all the way to the bathroom door to unlock it.
If this were a taqueria without table service, it would be less of an issue.1 Previous Review: Show all »

Not bad. I'm a regular at the other two locations but ventured to #3 with the girls. Food was just as great and the Chavelas were on point. Only downside is how small and cramped it was. Worse than the one on Lincoln.

I had a great dinner there the other night. It must have been kids night out at Tlaquepaque 3. My wife and I were there with our 1 year old son, and there were at least 3 other tables with kids (about 25%) of the total restaurant.
The food was great and fast. I think that my favorite thing is that the chicken is light meat, and not all dark meat.
I think that they may put the plates in a nuclear reactor before bringing them to the table though...
I definitely will be back. -

Drove by this location a few times as I'm located about 5+ miles south of here.
Stopped by just to try out the place and ordered 2 carne asada tacos and a horchata. The tacos were pretty good (about $2 each), the typical 2 small corn tortillas, beef, cilantro, onions and a bit of hot sauce (w/a slice of lemon on the side)
The horchata was good, a bit on the sweet side but that is horchata!
Their pico de gallo has some kick to it which was good and fresh.
Going to try the other plates/burrito at this place. For those that want to try it out for lunch, get there a bit early (11:45) as it was getting busy after 12 noon. They were a bit understaffed and it took a while for the 2 tacos and a drink.Listed in: Viva la Taquerias

I've been going here for years. They must've changed owners in the past couple years because the interior and service has definitely improved. Their salsa is SPICY just the way it should be and you can't not have a chavela!!
Friday nights are always super packed and their parking lot sucks. Best to look for parking in nearby neighborhoods. -

Some of the best fast mexican food you can get in San Jose. It's a very small place and sometimes parking can be an issue. If it's busy and you're more then 4 names down the list, come back another day if you're trying to grab something on your lunch break.
Make sure to try something new each time you go, I have yet to have a bad meal here. -

Hands down...Best Mexican Food I have ever had!!!! I love this place!! The service is good at this location but the other location not always. The food is consistant everytime and the chavela's are rediculiously good.
The only thing they need to improve on is getting a bigger place for more seating!! Not enought tables. -
Review from Alena B.

There's nothing wrong with any of the Tlaquepaque locations but I really don't see what all the hype is about. I much prefer Puerto Azul farther down the road on Lincoln. There isn't really anything wrong with these locations and if you go in person you get chips at your table (you don't get them to go for free). I find that these restaurants are often hot (not using their a/c or don't have a/c).

Date with my sis!! Since she is currently the Dutchess of this joint I dedicate my review and making peace with the franchise to her
Most of the time when I go to Tlaquepaque it is an uber epic post apocalyptic fail.. aka.. no parking.. long ass wait.. long ass wait to get food... shitty service.. to the extent I REFUSE to go... until now....
I think I might have found my Tlaquepaque soul mate.. #3.. perhaps third time is a charm.
Although in a busy little strip enough parking to be able to park going once around the lot.
Quick service
I had been craving chorizo con juevo for a minute and I finally got my fix
Eggs were perfect
Lots of chorizo.. reasonable sized burrito to the extent where I ate half and took the rest to go
I got to try some of Noelle's carnitas and they were awesome! I love carnitas that have a lil crispiness to them while still being moist
Happy camper.. definitely going to this one from now on!!
NOTES
1. credit cards 10 dollar minimum
2. yes you can also get your large arse aguas to go!!! *ask for a cup*
3. flag folks down because they will not help you otherwise -

Easiest place to park at, and I think the food here is better than Tlaquepaque 1. I also love how warm and light the atmosphere is..it's friendlier.
So, I won't re-do my review from #1, but in a nutshell I love their food, I love their chips, I love their salsa & I really love then chavelas. I found out you can get dark *or* light. Husband is normally a dark beer fan but he prefers the light chavela. I think the dark has more character.
Service is always fast and pleasant, and the portions are plentiful. I appreciate that I'm never rushed (I don't take advantage it but I've been in some where they hover if you don't eat quickly enough). -

Love the chips. Love the food. Love that everything always comes out really hot.
I also love that the people here are always nice, unlike at the Lincoln location, where one of the waitresses is a total psycho hose-beast.
I just wish this place wasn't so small. If you come during the dinner rush, you may have to wait a while for a table. -

OK OK OK, love this place. So recently I sorta had a Taqueria streak for about 8 days straight and this place was the day that ended it. Don't mis understand.. this place was sooooo good, I could not continue cause I would kill it for myself. i stumbled on this place when I used to live in the Willow Glen area in SJ and have never had a bad experience. Let me break down what makes this place so good for me.
First things first, the chips and salsa. I WOULD BUY PAY FOR IT, I DON'T CARE THAT ITS NOT FREE. To reiterate, if the salsa make you ask for more napkins to wipe your sweat and sniffles, then its not that good. Next is the drinks ... you all see pictures of them and I have to ask every other taqueria if they have it, which they don't so boo to them. All the dishes are here are worth trying. Cheap or expensive, you can't judge on price on how good your dish will be. I love their pulpo cheviche, their simple taco's, and their steak dishes. I crave this place and compare all Taqueria's to this. -

Review from Randy L.
Been here twice to this location and glad I made the trip the second time. This is the third location as you can tell by the name and it sits next to subway near Jack in Da Crack right off Curtner and Hwy 87. Small place with room to hold about 30 people on a busy night at most.
Large parking lot so finding a space isn't an issue, wait for food is roughly 15-20 mins depending on how busy it is. You actually spend more time waiting for a table if its busy..but you can always be creepy and stare at people through the window if want them to hurry up. lol
The first time I came i ordered a combo plate (boring i know right?) because I wanted to sample around the quintessential dishes. Got the Crispy Beef Taco, Chile Relleno, and Cheese Enchilada that was served with the typical sides of re fried beans and Mexican rice. All of these were good but nothing to really write home about. The taco was crisp, Chile Relleno was a nice size and served in a tomatillo sauce, and the Cheese Enchilada was down right cheesy. Beans were solid and good textured meaning overloaded with lard! YAY!
The 2nd trip far out shined the first and really made a better impression of their food. This time around I ordered the Camarones Empinsados as a good friend who is a frequent patron recommended it.....AND DAMN WAS HE RIGHT!!! I'm talking about a dozen, yes "12" large and juicy scrimp breaded and fried to golden artery clogging perfection! They come with the standard beans, rice, a sad little salad (shredded iceberg & diced tomato), and your choice of warm corn or flour tortillas. The beans and rice of course were solid standard staples, the salad was sad as mention before, and the warm tortillas were a great addition to wrap my succulent scrimp in.
This second trip definitely make we want to come back to try a few other dishes (Chile Verde is also bomb!) and of course get some SUPER CHAVELAS! Now for those who don't know, Super Chavela's are a style of Mexican beer mixed with tequila and served in a large salted margarita glass. You can choose light or dark (GET THE DARK!) and they are tasty and damn strong! They limit a max of 4 per person and require you to order food when ordering the drink.
Pros:
-Typical a la carte items are under $7 and large full dinners under $15 (including tax/tip)
-SUPER CHAVELAS! ^.^
-Free chips and some damn good salsa! (nice spicy kick so buyer beware!)
-Awesome Horchata!
Cons:
-$10 min for credit charges
-Limits 4 Chavelas per person! =(
-canned soda (no fountain or refills)
-single unisex bathroom which can be an issue, saw one guy try to go 3 different times and it kept getting occupied by a different person! epic failure! Its funny cause this is a bad place for this to happen when serving spicy Mexican food. lol! -

Everyone always talks about this place so I decided to finally try it last week. Even though this place is inexpensive, the food was not so good (well at least what I tried). I had a super burrito and when I got it the rice and meat was really try and the cheese wasn't even melted. It was a huge burrito but I didn't even finish half. I also ordered a Michelada and that didn't even make it better. I'd probably give it a try again but just try something different.

The name alone makes it sound like the lesser sequel to a blockbuster hit. And it kind of is. The food is still decent, but falls far flat of the other restaurants. The decorations aren't nearly as good, either, and the location is the worst of the three as well. Since the other two aren't far away, why not take a trip to one of them?

If you can't handle spicy things, you might not like their salsa.
I ordered the Super Carnitas Burrito and it was all right. The meat was a little dry, but I'm not sure if that's how it's supposed to be. I've never had carnitas before so I can't make a comparison.
When the burrito arrived, I was surprised to see the size of it. I'm used to larger burritos, thus I was a little disappointed. FYI pico de gallo is not some hot sauce. For some strange reason, I thought it was some hot sauce and asked them to leave it out of my burrito. Turns out that pico de gallo consists of tomatoes, onions, cilantro, and etc.
Here's a tip, add some salsa to your burrito if you want to add a kick of flavor. You get the salsa with your yummy complimentary chips. During my visit, the waitress was very nice and attentive. I noticed a worker there that looks like Vic (Angie's Dad) from the George Lopez show. Anyhow, I'll probably check out the original location next time. -

out of the three sites this one by far was my least favorite . i came for a quick lunch , the only thing quick was seating myself. There was only two waiters and they took their time to take my order. i mean i actually had to raise my hand to have the waiter come to my table. i forgot to mention it wasn't even crowded.
other than the slow service, the food is always good. -

I've been to the Taqueria Tlaquepaque #1 and this is a bit smaller. This is my 2nd time coming here and I've had to wait about 15 minutes. Which isn't so bad but looking at all the food was making my mouth water!!!
This location is definitely smaller than both #1 and #2 but I think the food is about the same... Today I decided on something simple: a carnitas torta with a pitcher (to share) of sangria.
The torta was done rather nicely. Not too greasy and the bread was light and buttery. Just enough avocado and sour-cream (but it wouldn't hurt to add more!). The carnitas was good. However there wasn't enough meat on one side of the sandwich.. It made it's way to the other side. Carnitas was good.. not the greatest. I did meet some tough chewy parts. However the rest of it was nice and moist.
My friend's dish (enchilada verde) was brought out fresh out of the oven.. you could literally see the cheese still bubbling. BTW, did I mention that the food came out really quick... a plus in my book!
The sangria tasted like juice. Let me be the first to warn you, this sangria is a creeper! It may taste like juice but after 2 small wine glasses, BAM! You're loopy. -

First off I'd have to say that the burrito I ate here one busy evening was mediocre at best. I'd give that alone a 2.5, so this is not the place to go for good burritos. The meat seemed dry and the ingredients lacking proper freshness. Took a terribly long time to finish my order as well, you should never wait 15 minutes for a burrito no matter how busy.
The place shares a lot off highway 87 right near jack in the crack, which is constantly plauged by drive-thru junkie's. Apparently, stopping by a random place on a whim can be quite disappointing if you don't know the best food to order. Partly my fault, but I still know I won't be coming back here anytime after that burrito letdown. -

They start you off with a basket of HOT and crunchy chips ready to be dunked into a yummy piquant salsa.
Before you know it, the basket is empty just in time for the arrival of your main course.
So they bring my cheese enchiladas and I devour the entire thing, even though I was almost topped off with chips and salsa. But I couldn't stop eating it! Yes, it was partly because I have limited self-control, but it was also because the cheese was melty, the sauce was savory and the whole dish was delicious and satisfying.
This place has great food, good service and reasonable prices. -

Review from Matt H.
It was just after 1230 and I found myself VERY hungry after a long morning or leadership training at Church on the Hill. Needing some nourishment and not knowing the area was a NO NO. What to do? After checking out "What's Hot on Yelp" on the iphone, the name tlaquepaque stood out like a white guy at a korean bar (VIP for example). I ordered breakfast (that's right, BREAKFAST at 1230 on a weekday!) and a quesadilla (because there was a minimum $10 limit for using a CC).
Service
FAST. Efficient. I did not get a refill of salsa until I asked, but I'm not at Chez Jose either.
Chips N Salsa
Delicious chips - super crispy and well flavored. Didn't taste like your garden from-the-bag variety. The salsa was HOT! Me likey.. er Me gusto.
Quesadilla
This reminded me of childhood. Simple, classic, delicious. 1 flour totrilla, light layer of colby jack cheese, slightly buttered pan... perfecto. just like how mom used to make em.
Chorizo con papas
Mmmmm.. chorizo fried up with potatoes.... with 2 eggs any style. I asked for scrambled and they served them with a green tomatillo salsa on top. The plate also came with tortillas, I had flour. This was a great dish. The potatoes were cooked to perfection... awesome slices of strachy goodness. The chorizo was ground... salty, slighty spicy and full of ?cumin?. All were delicious especially when I filled up a tortilla and had a burrito (with the spicy salsa). I was just missing crema....
I want to go back but unfortunately this is not an area I would find myself in very often.. I think there's another one.. must seek and eat. -

Once again here is another location to get your ice cold "Chavelas"(big cold glass fresh out of the freezer with a chilled Modelo beer and a salt rim). The food is good here and very authentic. the servings are big and leave you scraping the plate even though your tummy may feel like exploding from being so full.
The wait could be long on the downside to this place because everyone comes here. -
Review from Annie P.
This location is a bit small but the food is just as good. All I can say is keep the Chavela's coming baby! The waitress' are so attentive and are definitely helpful! I ordered the Shrimp diabla and my hubby ordered the Shrimp cocktail. I must say...I've ordered the Shrimp diabla before at other restaurants and DAMN it was spicy. I mean SPICY!!!!! It was almost too hot for my hubby and I. Of course we managed :) You can order any extra side for just $1.00!!! Pretty sweet deal! I ordered an extra side of guacamole and a side of rice. I was very pleased and full!! Definitely will go back soon!
P.S. I ordered a Mexican coke and when it came out I glanced at the expiration date and it expired weeks ago. Hahahaha. Not too big a deal but since they are imported and made in Mexico I really wanted a "fresh" one...sadly to say they didn't have any so I had to settle for a regular Coke. Still very refreshing! :) -

Mmm.. a chavelas would be great right about now; 5 stars for the chevelas itself.
I was actually really looking forward to getting a Super Chevelas, but this particular location doesn't serve it. I'm going to need to make a trip to one of their other locations to try it!
I wasn't really hungry that night, but in order to get a chevelas, you must order food. I tried to order a taco, but the waitress informed me that I need to spend over a certain dollar amount [ I think 5? ] so I ordered a Super carne asada taco. The taco was just about the worst taco I've ever had. I rather eat a taco from taco bell! The beef was soo flavorless and there wasn't enough onions and other things in the taco. Other than that, my table also ordered a chicken quesadilla and chili verde and those were said to be yummy.
Next time, I'm definitely going to try their beef chimichanga! -

I love how some people write reviews and feel the need to define the ratio of ethnicities dining at that establishment. I think that concept is a little out-of-date, but I'll be a hypocrite for this review... My friend and I were the only white folks eating lunch here, so I guess this means the food was authentic? :)
Seriously, the chips, salsa and chicken verde enchiladas were excellent. This is not a fine-dining experience, but it will fill you up for lunch and have you feeling guilty the rest of the day for eating too much.
They won't split a check with credit cards, and it seemed like they tacked on an extra fee when we paid the bill... so just be sure to watch it. :)
I don't think I will go back here, the location is not the best. -

The mexican food good-ness at this restaurant is so appealing that they have a #1, #2, and here we have number 3 all within a three mile radius. Number one and two are typically always super packed which is why I settle on number 3 it's not very fancy but it's also no typically has packed as the other restaurants. My favorite item on the menu is the #24 enchilada's with green chile verde sauce YUM! Of course you can't visit any of the Tlaquepaque's without washing your food down with a Chavella...did I spell that right?

The sign for this place is finally up. More like just a banner but at least it says Tlaquepaque #3. Similar table setting and decor with less seating area. Much friendlier servers who keep asking if you want more chips and salsa. It's right next to the Subway and Jack N the box on Curtner.
Alright, I get that this location is RIGHT OFF THE 87 exit and there's PARKING... BUT.....NO SUPER CHAVELAS? wth???? therefore, NOT WORTH THE TRIP. Go to #1 on lincoln!! I understand parking and waiting for a table is an issue, but it comes down to this.. BETTER FOOD AND SUPER CHAVELAS! They only have regular chevalas(no tequila in ur drink) at this location bc they do not have the proper alcohol license and they've been opened at this location for FOUR years! I asked and they said they hope they'll have the license soon.
Food was only OK. Not as good as the Lincoln one. It just seems less flavorful. I had the Carne asada and Carnitas Super taco. Everything seemed tastier at the Lincoln location. The carnitas had a pull pork texture with the fried grease of carnitas, but I needed that crispiness on the outside of the pork.
Bottom line, good customer service, but food was only OK. Don't be lazy, drive a couple streets down and hit up the Lincoln location!Listed in: Wonderful world of Willow Glen
