I was at the fairgrounds for the Pequeño Rodeo, and heard the group of Mexican Cowboys talking about how great the tacos they had the day before at Tequila's Taqueria in San Jose....Well when 8 Mexican Cowboys talk about how great the tacos were from the day before, I see it as an omen to go there! So, I did, and those cowboys were right..the tacos de carnitas y frijoles refritos were amazing! 5 ☆☆☆☆☆'s 4 sure!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Tequila Taqueria in San Jose, CA and it exceeded all my expectations. From the moment we walked in, the customer service was exceptional. The staff was not only friendly but also incredibly attentive, making sure every detail was perfect throughout our meal. The food was another highlight—everything was incredibly fresh and bursting with flavor. The drink selection was equally impressive, with a range of expertly crafted cocktails. Each drink was a perfect complement to the meal, making the entire dining experience unforgettable. I can't wait to return to Tequila’s and enjoy it all over again!
