    Elevated Tacos Al Pastor at Acopio
    Danny K.

    I had Acopio bookmarked for months and nearly forgot about it until I started thinking hard about where to take a guest from out of town. Acopio looked very appealing, but I didn't expect that a Mexican-fusion restaurant on the east side of San Jose would be Michelin-worthy. Acopio's space is very well-kept and designed both festive and elegant. The service was attentive and clearly a point of pride, a stark contrast from my heartbreaking experience at True Laurel in SF last weekend where I waited for 30 minutes before a server came back to check on me. Each dish was artful, despite the simplicity of a dish such as Tacos Al Pastor, which consisted of pork confit, charred pineapple and fresh tortillas. The pork belly was marinated and seared to perfection. Together with a bit of tomatillo salsa, it was a unique elevated interpretation of Tacos Al Pastor that I'm already craving again. Each ingredient was meticulously marinated, charred and presented. The Tacos de Cachete was an interestingly textured dish, with pickled white onion pedals and beef cheek. A bit mushy but flavorful. On a second subsequent trip, I tried the Molé Poblano con Pierna de Pato & Chile Relleno. The duck was tender and perfectly seasoned. The molé was tangy and brighter than other molés that I have tried but it went well with the other components of the dish. The most impressive part was the Chile Relleno, which was made with a dried Pasilla chile that had a great chewy texture which was a pleasant surprise. It seemed more artfully crafted, would love to find out how they achieved that texture. The Coctel de Camarones had an unexpectedly familiar taste. Thai-style Tom Kha coconut and tomatillo broth with jicama and freshly peeled and de-veined prawns. Fantastic fusion dish. Finally, the chocolate churros and house-made Mexican chocolate ice cream also had a chili sauce on the ice cream with a nice kick to it. Acopio may be one of the finest restaurants in San Jose. It is a real gem that is doing Mexican fusion at the next level. Wholeheartedly recommended.

    If you're not paying attention, you might drive right past it (like I did), but trust me - you'll want to make a stop here. The vibe is super cozy and trendy, great for a date night or dinner with a smaller group. We went with a mix of smaller plates and a large one to share family-style: - 1/2 dozen oysters: Pure buttery bliss. - Aguachile de callo de nacha: A MUST if you love scallops. It was so fresh and beautifully presented. - Tostada de Kampachi: Can skip. I'd probably go for their Tostada de Ceviche Colimense next time. - Costillas de Elote (Corn Ribs): YES. I'd order this every time. - Arroz Moreno con Mariscos: This was a surprise favorite. The rice reminds me of Korean nurungee with a seafood twist, and the cilantro herbs gave it that perfect blend. - Churros for dessert: The seasonal raspberry & lime sorbet on the side was the perfect touch. Churros were beautifully decorated and tasted like fruity pebbles. - For drinks: My friend enjoyed their Chardonnay Chenin Blanc, and I went for their zero-proof Corazon de Melon (cantaloupe-base with citrus mixed with their l'apertivo floreale made it the perfect summery beverage). Great place for excellent Mexican/Spanish food and drinks with a fresh twist!

    Scallop appetizer... amazing.

    The best food, great service and personable servers. The food, though, is delicious and unique.

    The restaurant was well decorated with greenery and warm colors, creating a cozy and inviting environment. The waitress was very nice and attentive. The food was delicate and artfully presented. I also loved the tablewares - a Japanese-inspired style. The seafoods were fresh! The seasonings were well balanced. I highly recommend the Arroz Moreno Con Mariacos!

    While I've been here a couple times with my friends and enjoyed the atmosphere so I decided to surprise my man by treating him out to a place he hasn't been. While everything started off fine, we fell short of service and when the food came I was less impressed. After this experience. I think I'll be cooking at home from now on for our special occasion. We came for Valentine's Day for a pre-fixed menu at 6pm and didn't get out until 8pm. We even were sat 10 minutes early since we showed up early/on-time. Not sure what took so long when everything I'm sure was made ahead and of time. The salad was a great start. The farro risotto was just ok for me but my boyfriend really enjoyed it. The One scallop that took a while to come out was my least favorite. I didn't enjoy the texture and waited a while for the dishes to come after our rice which made me NOT enjoy the prefixed menu since we had to be on their time and they seem to have been falling behind . If they did have to make one thing, it may have been the scallop but how long does that even take?! Everything seemed like it took longer than expected and for over $100 a plate I will not come back after this experience unfortunately. Our dishes just didn't seem like it was worth the money. Each picture was more than $20 if you add everything, including the cup of corn water and NO drinks. As you can see each dish was really small so I'm not sure why it took 2 hrs to get in and out with a prefixed menu and reservations.

    Tres leches

    If a friend did not recommend this, I would have never found it. Super cute spot in San Jose with plenty of parking. I love the ambiance, staff was very attentive and the music was very nice. We got some bites to share: Tostada de Ceviche Colimense: o was surprised to see that for $18 there was only one tostada split in half. It was delicious, but definitely pricey. Papitas Yukon Doradas: good flavored potatoes, so think they would have been even better if they were crispier. Tacos De Pancita Al Pastor: deeeeeeeeeeeeeeelicious. Pastel De Tres Leches for dessert which was also very tasty, could have had another one.

    Hidden gem with its own parking lot. Excellent service, beautiful restaurant decor, and specialized menu. Cocktails were amazing - and they have a full bar. Food was excellent - I love a more curated menu because you know it's going to be good. Tacos had flavor, elote was well seasoned and cooked to perfection, and DO NOT SKIP the ice cream because it was my favorite part.

    Grilled cabbage - soggy and burnt

    Went here for Valentine's Day for their special Valentine's Day menu. The restaurant itself is located in an older area in downtown but they've remodeled the place and it looks great inside. We were promptly seated and our drink orders were taken. Cocktails came out relatively quickly and they were all good. We ordered the set menu with wine pairings. The meal started with 3 small bites - all pretty yummy and high end. The oyster was well cooked and having a little caviar was a nice start - but after the first course things started falling apart. Second course was a soggy, overcooked grilled cabbage. They managed to make it soggy and burnt at the same time. Wierd. Wine pairings came late and only after we asked for it. The final course was a mess. I ordered the duck confit chile relleno. The chile itself was burnt to a crisp - literally charred and inedible. The bits of duck inside dry. When I told the server he just sighed and took the plate - WOW! The steak course was supposed to be med-rare. It came out grey and overcooked. Again wine pairings came after the entrees. We were in a rush for a show - so didn't have time to let the restaurant remake the food. Left hungry, frustrated, and annoyed. I understand it was Valentine's Day- but they should have staffed better, and with the limited menu at least been able to cook the food properly.

    I went here on a saturday with three friends. We had a reservation so we were seated pretty quickly. It is a small restaurant so I am not sure what the wait is like if you come in without reserving. I liked the size of the restaurant though because it gave it an intimate cozy ambience, especially with the yellow lights. Would be a really cute date location. There is a parking lot in the back, which is very nice, but it is a bit small so make sure to come early for parking. Food was alright to me. They were definitely unique and presentation was beautiful but some dishes were better than others. All of LOVED the pork tacos (TACOS de pancita al pastor) . Definitely would recommend. The icecream desserts were also very yummy and smooth. They weren't overly sweet and had very unique flavors. We let our waitress picked out the flavors and she did amazing! Other dishes were pretty good as well but we tried so many, and those were the two that stood out to me. The other dishes I wasn't too impressed with were the steak tacos and the appetizer (Tazón Botanero). The names were a bit too much for me to remember so I didn't list every one of them down.

    Chicken Milanese so good
    Bernard F.

    Great food, fine dining meets comfort. The service attentive. It was small but intimate. Everything about the restaurant wonderful. Don't like to used the phrase hidden gem. But this place is definitely that.

    Tortillas De Casa Arroz Moreno Con Mariscos
    Dominique S.

    A good verify of drinks on the menu, definitely a place to go for happy hour and small eats (or something larger if you're more hungry). The larger plates read out as imaginative and a beautiful blend of inclusion. The servers were friendly and knowledgeable on the food and gave a welcome in depth description of the dishes and ingredients involved. They also made accommodations to alter plates as necessary (ex. We did chorizo on the side for the Papas Doradas, and I got the Dos Piñas with club soda to add an extra fizz - a bright and delicious drink with a subtle sweet flavor and notes of short lasting sour) We also got the Tortillas De Casa (I thought the marinated sweet chili moritas was the shining star of the dish pared with the nixtamalized corn tortillas), and the Arrozo Moreno Con Marisocs - beautiful presentation and my partner said they paired extremely well together

    Super clean, modern interior of the restaurant. Fairly empty on a Sunday night, slightly busier in the day time.

    SUPER CUTE. What a total hidden gem! A friend of mine had recommended this place and I was so excited to check it out! Acopio has awesome service, great food, and is quite a lovely restaurant. To my surprise, the location is right next to downtown San Jose. (which am not the biggest fan of btw BUT..) Acopio makes you FEEL like you are in lovely area similar to Los Gatos. I especially like how they have their own personal parking lot that has automatic lights that turn on at night time that makes the area feel very safe, secure, and clean. We had called for last minute reservations and surprisingly they had lots of openings available. One of the first things I noticed was that the design of the restaurant is very pristine, modern, clean, and trendy. They also have a very interesting colorful bar right when you walk in. Very cool! All of the servers we had were so super kind, caring, and nice. They also gave us a little background story on the restaurant and how long it's been here. Very nice! We decided to order lots of different dishes in order to get an idea/feel for the restaurant. We ordered the Costillas De Elote (Corn Ribs), Tortillas de casa, Ceviche Tostadas, and Al Pastor (pork) tacos. OMG! I am so absolutely in love with the Al Pastor tacos. They were literally so delicious and amazing! I really love how they added in unique toppings like pineapple, jalapeños, and unique garnishes that brought the whole dish together. These are legitimately some of the BEST tacos that I have ever had. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. I also was super excited to try out the Costillas De Elote (Corn Ribs) as well because I had noticed the beautiful photos from their Yelp page and this really caught me eye. This dish is great as well. It features a twist on Mexican street corn that is sliced up to make a unique and classy design. All of the dishes were beautifully placed and put together in unique fashion. Bonus points for aesthetics as well as great taste! lol. I loved the Ceviche as well. It was absolutely delicious and super yummy. The taste is unique and light. My only complaint would be that the ceviche was basically a tostada cut in half where other restaurants usually have a big bowl of ceviche as a starter to dip into. So keep in mind that this is a tiny appetizer when ordering. The Tortillas de casa were honestly very skippable. I'm not sure if we were supposed to add something to it? but it only came with beans, salsa, and queso fresco. I'm guessing maybe we were supposed to add something? But there was no add one or recommendations. This dish was a little confusing and plain.. lol. For dessert we got the Tres leches cake. It was beyond amazing. Sadly I totally forgot to take a photo of it because it was so it looked absolutely PERFECT lol. The desert was so creamy and beautifully made. It wasn't overpowering and you could definitely taste the high-quality ingredients that went into making it. (&This is saying A LOT because I usually am not too crazy about Tres Leches cakes. lol.) Highly recommend. Overall we had a beautiful dinner with awesome service and delicious food. Acopio is a very classy, quiet, modern, and unique place. I also really love how it was a very nice place to have conversations as it isn't one of those very loud/busy restaurants. Highly recommend for date night, business meetings, and/or a nice family time. :)

    Scallops with prosciutto and a white mole sauce

    The food is elevated cuisine. Clever, tasty and nicely presented. I had their duck leg confit with mole sauce and stuffed pepper. Very pretty and quite tasty. The restaurant is quite noisy due to the floors, tables and sound reflecting hard surfaces, which hindered the service. I ordered a bottle of wine and 4 glasses, instead they delivered 4 glass of wine and no bottle. Corrected but it took time away from eating and chatting. They did make an attempt to make up for it by giving us some Mezcal on the house, thoughtful, but we were not really the best audience for it. Friendly staff however, despite a few dropped balls. The red wine we did get was a varietal I'd never had before. Italian grape I believe, a 'Nebbiolo' which was hands down the best Mexican red wine I've ever had! This was our first visit and based on the food's taste and presentation alone we'll be going back again!

Drink orders were flowing as the waitress caught up to me and I got a cafe de olla. We browsed the menu and the more I looked the harder it was to pick one thing. I ended up choosing chilaquiles with a bandera sauce and carne asada as the added protein. The rest of the table got all different types of dishes from carne en su jugo to birria to omelettes. While we enjoyed each other's company sipping on our cafecito I enjoyed the ambiance of the space. Nicely decorated for the holidays. Since it was opening time it wasn't as loud as I imagine it can get in there. The sun did shine on the faces of those facing the windows which was not enjoyable for them. There was no way to cover the sun either since it was coming in from the top windows with no shade. My food came out along with the rest of the plates and we went right in to enjoy them. My favorite chilaquiles was covered in the white sauce. The red and green were good but the white sauce was my favorite. The carne was cooked well but I could taste it wasn't marinated or lacked flavor. I didn't get a knife to cut the meat so it was very difficult to enjoy a piece with my chilaquiles. It was hard to cut with a butter knife. I thought it would be a piece of steak but it was a piece of carne asada. Eggs were scrambled and cooked well. The whole plate was filling, had flavor, and was a good portion. The cafe de olla had a good flavor but a tad sweet for my preference. The space in here is a vibe. A fun place to enjoy large gatherings. I came for breakfast but will update when I come back to visit for dinner. Bathrooms are clean. Staff was welcoming and efficient in taking care of our group. Hospitality was a 10/10. Parking in the am was a breeze but at prime time I can see it being a complete nightmare so plan accordingly. I enjoyed my visit and will come back to check out the dinner menu.

As I entered the restaurant there was the aroma of fresh tortillas being made. Upon sitting down I was presented with fresh homemade corn tortilla chips along with two salsas (mild and medium) Tortilla chips were thick with just the right amount of crunch. Tasting the green (mild?) salsa was my favorite. It had a great tomatillo flavor with a creamy spiciness. It was a good reprieve from my main dish. A Paloma was my drink of choice this time. I'll preface this by saying I'm not a fan of tequila but when presented with the cold clay mug rimmed with salt and topped with orange and grapefruit, I was impressed. It was delicious, so refreshing, fragrant, and cold! A nice counterbalance to my meal. Chilaquiles was a dish I wanted to try. They had delicious chips again cooked in salsa verde. Covered with eggs (any style) fresh crema, avocado, and onions the chilaquiles exceeded my expectations. So simple yet so flavorful. Mixing up quantities of ingredients in each bite made for a delicious experience. My favorite element being the sharpness of the onions which cut the richness of the dish. I'm generally not a fan of refried beans but these ones had such a unique and satisfying flavor which complimented the dish well. My server, Luis was very helpful and quick to check in and make sure I was doing okay! I cannot wait to try out their fish tacos and various drinks from the menus next time!

    This place is so good. I'm glad to have tried it. I used to eat a lot of Mexican food when I went…read moreto school in SoCal, which is where I encountered Carne Asada Fries, so I make it a habit to get it at any restaurant that has it. CaliSparkles (what SJSU people call this restaurant), has it. SERVICE We came here on Saturday June 6th around noon. Quick to seat, took a bit to get our orders, but the waitress forgot that we asked for the check and to go boxes when we were done and didn't give us everything we asked for when we reminded her. In fact, all the servers vanished at the same time, and came back at the same time. FOOD Tacos are well priced ($3.50 for 1, $9 for 3 tacos), and I haven't seen that good of a deal in a long time. This is what they're known for and what most of my cousins ordered. Otherwise, one ordered a Super Burrito, and I ordered the Cali Fries with steak. It was soooo good. I loved that all the tacos and the fries came with avocado, some type of sauce, and tomatoes (I believe). Will def be back if I'm ever in the area.

    By far the worst service ever . I asked for a cup of ice…read morewhen the server came to give us the food, and we waited over 30 mins. I was almost done eating my food and still no cup of ice with water , I look up to see if I could get my servers attention and all 4 servers are at the bar chatting , laughing , gossiping and NO attention to the tables at all. There's about 10 tables right now being served. Food was OKAY, nothing special. I won't come back here again. No one came to check up on us after they served us with our food . We needed re-fills that we never got on our drinks .
