    The birria taco was good. Unfortunately the giant birria they didn't have it? We ordered chicken burrito, the chicken was old, hard, no salsa, onion, cilantro. Waste of money. The owner of this business should implement serving good food, to make sure customers don't waste money buying bad food.

    Came on a weekday.. and waited 1hour to order and get the order -- I didn't check before hand and it was due to the $1.50 taco deal they had on May 5th :) returned on Sunday again and no wait great food !!

    Soggy quesadilla because she didn't even close the lid out of pettiness

    No wonder this place was empty. I should've read the reviews before I purchased ANYTHING from this place. There was a mistake with my order and the lady did not want to give me a refund for one order, made a huge deal and gave the nastiest attitude from the get go. She blamed the entire thing on me when it was a misunderstanding on BOTH ends. She even tried manipulating me by saying she was going to take it out of her own paycheck. It was only $13 I wanted back. Her reasoning to not be able to give me a refund was that she already heat up 2 tortillas. The quesadillas weren't even made yet?!!! I should've known I was going to have a bad experience when it was empty and she took her sweet time to not even greet us and take our order. (First time customer and definitely LAST)

    We were staying at a hotel nearby and walked over for dinner. It's set up similar to a permanent food truck location with 2-4 spots (2 were open when we were there) with a large outdoor tented seating area. We took our food to go back to the hotel. They have menus on each spot and you order separately. When we went there were 2 places open: Mexican and Colombian. I saw signs for BBQ and Elote/Corn but those were closed. We were a little confused at first because it was our first time and no one else was ordering when we went. However, a nice man who owned the spots came over and told us his favorites and how we ordered independently for each location. From the Mexican spot we ordered the birria quesadilla. We did have to pay an additional fee to include the consume, which has typically been included at all other spots we get birria from. But, we did and it was good. The quesadilla was a good size and came with chips and two different salsas. From the Colombian spot we ordered a chicken empanada and Papas Rellenas (stuffed fried potatoes with a hard boiled egg). The chicken empanada was my favorite, it had a lot of flavor and had corn and peppers and cheese and chicken inside (probably more).

    A friend introduced me to this spot for their birria tacos, and he was absolutely right. We came late at night just before closing. It was windy and cold, but honestly the perfect weather for hot, crispy birria tacos and a warm cup of consommé. Everything is outdoors, but there was a large white tent that we were able to sit under, which helped. There was only one person working, and he was clearly hustling and doing his best, so it took a bit for him to get to us. Once our order was placed, the food came out in about 10 minutes. The tacos were delicious. The consommé was rich and flavorful, and the hot sauce that comes with it was excellent. Exactly what you want on a cold night. Just a heads-up: it's dark at night with minimal lighting. Parking is nearby, it's very casual, and it's set up like a food-truck area with a few other Mexican vendors around. I would definitely go back. They have a gigantic taco I want to try next time. I've read mixed reviews about the ramen, so I'm on the fence about that, but I'd try it with more people. Overall, simple, fast, and very satisfying.

    Came to visit this food truck place known for their giant birria taco. It's in a small area but they have their own private parking space. During the night they have white Christmas lights to to light up the area creating a well lit place to eat. They also have games setup to play while you wait for your food. Giant birria taco - it's alright. Too big for me and it's just meat and cheese inside. Would have been nice to have some chopped onions or cilantro. All the small tacos - really good. Their sauce is spicy but each bite is flavorful. The tripas are crunchy but not too dry, al pastor is juicy, and shrimp is good. Drinks - my pineapple didn't have enough ice so it was warm but either way both were good. Wait times were pretty long though. But I'm pretty sure that's because the giant birria taco took all the time to cook.

    Have you seen the birria taco served in a pizza box?! I finally got to check out this famous taco spot in San Jose. We ordered the giant signature birria taco, short rib burrito, loaded Baja taco, and two drinks. Everything was fresh made and delicious! My number one favorite was the short rib burrito -- loved the tenderness and smoky flavor of the meat. It was well-seasoned and very juicy! Definitely going back for more -- I really want to try their birria ramen next time as well!

    Sometimes things get better with time but unfortunately, this isn't the case with Con Sabor a México. We don't live in the area, so when coming back from a trip and we were going to pass San Jose, we decided to come back to some of the best quesabirria tacos we had, rivaling my mother in laws. Well, we were disappointed. We always came for the viral huge quesabirria tacos that brought us here in the first place and when we tried ordering it, the cashier said they didn't have the ingredients for it. Hmm, ok. So when we decided just on the quesabirrias, the cashier seemed somewhat confused on the type of tortilla, flour or corn. I believe they are always corn tortillas, so this threw us off. Still we continued with our order. We were charged for meat and cheese tacos with watery broth cuz that wasn't birria. That salsa they gave was fire and made the taco better but if you're expecting birria, just buy the birria bomb and make it at home cuz sadly, that's what it tastes like. Hope they get it together but we won't be making that detour anymore.

    Not horrible but definitely NOT worth it. The wait for their huge Queso Birria was 45 minutes and it was 20 min for the flavored water. Food was ok, nothing worth writing about. Sitting area was nice but weathering badly. Laughed when one of the workers came out with her food and ate right next to us, 30 minutes after we ordered. Parking was initially ok, skinny lot. Not bad until a POS parks next to your or in front of you and you can't get out. If you insist on eating there, park in the street! Huge queso birria $35 and the flavored water $8 each. Water was eh. There are DEFINITELY better options around, choose them.

    This was the man that was extremely hostile and unhelpful.

    I have been coming to this place for years now and I've always had a really good experience. Until today. I went to order two orders of 3 birria tacos like I always do. The lady taking my order spoke no English. I don't have a problem with that, but if you can't understand my order then that's when it is a problem. We tried our best to understand each other and I ordered thinking I'd get what I asked for. When she called me to pick up my order it was not correct. I tried to explain this to her and she did not understand me. She looked at her coworker to explain the situation and he told us "no refunds" and told us to go. My boyfriend asked him if he spoke English to see if he could help us, but I guess that question triggered him because he became very aggressive and was asking my boyfriend "do you speak Spanish" in a confrontational manner over and over. My boyfriend became upset at this behavior and was trying to explain we are only asking so that we know if you will understand us or not. I was trying to explain I don't want a refund I just want what I ordered. He was not trying to listen to us and kept telling me to go and "no refunds." I asked a customer who was waiting to order if she can help translate. After she explained the misunderstanding the man told her to tell us we would have to make a whole new order and pay for it. I already spent $30 on the order that I didn't want. I am very very disappointed with this customer service and I will no longer be coming here. I have never felt so humiliated before. Please hire people with good customer service and that can understand their customers.

    We got the baja and al pastor tacos along with the big birria taco. All tacos were perfectly cooked. We loved the al pastor the most. We also got their agua frescas watermelon and pineapple. Both drinks were refreshing. Although pineapple juice had a lot of pulp. But other than that we got our food pretty quick.

    Haven't been back here for a very long time. Order some keto Baja shrimp tacos and Birria nachos because they ran out of fries. Upon getting the food. Everything was very bland, no flavor whatsoever. I can only taste the cheese nothing else. The meat wasn't seasoned and so was the consommé; it was extremely watery and bland. I am disappointed and how on earth; the quality went down hill. They also hardly put any toppings ( white onion and cilantro) skimping it out a lot. Overall it was okay; probably best advice would be to bring a salt packet. The outdoor seating patio changed. They made it a lot spacier. Other than that it's just okay. Would I come again? Probably but only if my partner is craving for them. Also additional the red radish/ turnips aren't that crunchy either.

    I love this little enclave with activities, great music, and awesome food. I got some street tacos from here which were yummy and some fresh juice which was refreshing on a hot day. Fun, friendly staff. It was also interesting to see that they had keto options as well

    This burrito is so small

The location that we went to is located next to Maggiano's Little Italy in Santana Row on Olin Ave. There is a free 2 hour parking structure across of the restaurant where my boyfriend and I parked at. We came during their Lunch Specials (until 4pm) and Happy Hour (from 3-5:30pm) which worked perfectly as we wanted something smaller in portion compared to the dinner portions. We started off with drinks. I got their Pig Ol' Bitties Blonde Ale, and my boyfriend got their Friday Beer & Shot special of This Little Piggy Went to [Mark]et with a 16 oz Dirty Little Pig IPA and a shot of Benchmark whiskey. My fault for having him get a whiskey shot on an empty stomach, though HAHA. He did like how smooth the whiskey was at least! We shared a 2-meat BBQ Lunch Combo Plate, and honestly, we should have gotten 3 meats because of how tender and delicious everything was! We got their Tri Tip and Sliced Brisket with their Garlic Mash and server recommended Sweet Potato Tots. Ahhh, everything was so good! Aside from the tender, flavorful meats, the two sides, especially the garlic mash, were sooooo good. We both loved everything! It was definitely a great choice coming during lunch as we were quite full after ordering one of their happy hour shareables of Chips & Queso (kind of pricey even for happy hour in my opinion for chips and cheese). Honestly wished we got their Chili Cheese Fries or their other fries which were the same price than just chips and dip LOL. But it was a good hold over food with us drinking a bit (at least for me). Shoutout to the only server who was working on a late Friday afternoon as she was doing her best to accommodate everyone + trying to clean up the previous tables. It was kind of sad seeing that the other workers didn't help bus the tables in my opinion. Overall, a great place to watch sports and have some good whiskey as this restaurant is known for their whiskey selections! The lunch BBQ exceeded our expectations, and we would definitely come back for another lunch special meal but probably with 3 meats this time!

I've been to 3 others Redwood City BBQ, South Winchester BBQ (San Jose), and Canyon's BBQ (Castro Valley) and I've reviewed most of those quite favorably, except for 1. But they have about 4 others that I haven't been but are on my list. I guess now I'll know they are more the same than they are different. I knew walking in that I was going to like it. A strong aroma of wood smoke hugs you upon entering. A cool mural outside, lots of beers and bbq on the tables, cool tunes that was all over the place genre wise. 2 Meat Combo ($26/4.5*) Crazy solid combo. Not as juicy as I would prefer but between the perfect smoke content and their seasoning just makes me happy enough. Brisket: Their brisket is awesome. Not as juicy as some of the top notch places here in the Bay, but the flavor was perfect for me. Assertive smokiness without being overbearing. Get a piece with a good layer of fat and it was basically hearty beef bacon. I rarely put sauce on brisket but theirs is not bad, maybe just a dot or 2. Ribs: Also drier than what I like but the flavor and meaty texture was enough for me. Definitely have to pull these off the bone a bit, does not easily fall off, which I actually prefer. I like toothsome versus mushy meat. These ribs do have a layer of bbq sauce cooked into them, so it has a sweet and tangy flavor already in it. But they still can accept extra sauce, as it will not only moisten the ribs further but it will amp up the tang and sweetness that pork ribs are natural for. Tried 2 sides, beans and coleslaw. The beans aren't the super sweet kind, which I liked. More chili-like very hearty and complimenting to the smoky bbq. The slaw was perfect, crisp with a creamy yet slightly sweet dressing. Crazy good, I could actually eat their sides alone as a meal. Their corn bread here is strange. It is cooked in a sheetpan and cut into squares much like a brownie. But that square is then griddled til golden brown so I totally thought it was garlic bread at first. The other bbq spots I tried from this same company didn't make corn bread like that, so this was a first for me. Probably the only miss for me here. Also tried a half pound of Tri Tip ($20/4*) Very meaty that they were able to keep it a nice pink medium, which I like. But much milder in smoke than their brisket and ribs. I ended up making sandwiches with these at home. They are sliced pretty thick so you may have to slice some of them further. It bites easier in thinner slices versus monster thick slices that will pull out of the bread with each bite. I learned that on this out so just throwing out a tip. A solid bbq throwdown with a cold frosty one, plus lots of leftovers for work lunches the next few days, is just an out I can repeat over and over. Glad I found this spot!

You cant really find a skewer place with this type of vibe, def a spot i like to take my out of town friends to for a good time I love getting the fried tofu skins, this is my favorite skewer to get. I actually prefer the regular skewers than the mini skewers just because the mini is so small you have to really bite into the metal stick (which can stab your mouth if your not careful, especially if you end up drinking too much) razor clams are bomb here!

They're all coated with the same seasonings here so it's easy to get tired of so I always order a few of the grilled vermicelli oysters which are so tasty, and I love all the garlic it comes with! Some other good skewers are the chicken skin, pork belly, and corn. Love the drinks here too, most recently noticed they added an alcoholic blind box to the menu and it was so exciting to try 12 different mystery shots. Even though I did not enjoy half of the drinks, this is probably the most fun drinking concept I've seen at a restaurant and I'd absolutely order it again. The ambiance, customer service, and food are always all great - I'll never say no to dinner a Discovery!

At many restaurants, that would be a problem. At Henry's, it becomes a reason to test the rest of the grill. We ordered the Porterhouse and the Sirloin, both medium rare. The Porterhouse was solid: balanced seasoning, clean grill flavor, no unnecessary tricks. A lot of restaurants can do a good Porterhouse because the cut already has drama -- bone, fat, tenderness, presentation. But Sirloin is different. Sirloin exposes the kitchen. Especially that strip of fat running along the edge. If the grill work is careless, that fat becomes chewy, greasy, or wasted. Henry's handled it beautifully. The meat stayed true medium rare, while the fat edge was properly rendered, lightly charred, and full of beef aroma. That is real steakhouse skill. Medium rare lean meat plus properly rendered sirloin fat is not automatic. It takes timing, fire control, and experience. The baked potato was simple and correct. The salad was classic old-school steakhouse style. Dark beer still feels like the right companion here. Henry's is not trying to become trendy. It is not chasing presentation. People come here to eat steak, drink beer, and trust the kitchen. Prime Rib is still the ritual. But this visit proved something important: Henry's is not only a Prime Rib place. They know beef. - Dr. C Fire controlled. Fat rendered. Medium rare verified.

    The service was excellent. we called in for a reservation and were seated immediately. Meats came…read moreout in a flash and the meats were tender. Loved the japchae as it had flavor unlike other ACE shops where the japchae was flavorless. The side dishes were good. Liked the mashed potato salad, the bean curd strips. The cabbage salad could would have been better with more dressing. Also had the steamed egg which was just ok and the tofu stew with a really large shrimp in it and two big pieces of tofu. It was a bit spicy but overall, the spiciness was ok. Stew also had other seafood tidbits in it which is a surprise as other ACES only offer bits of meat. Stew is a must item. The waiters were fast in delivering meats, clearing empty dishes, clearing empty tables and setting them up for new occupants. I must say this is the first ACE that I have seen the servers were very motivated. However, what they probably forgot was to change our grilling tray but it was ok as we did not sear it black. Biggest surprise was the dessert of a scoop of strawberry ice cream with a. piece of fried banana. Never had any ACE given me dessert! The place was busy but the wait did not seem to be long even without reservations. Overall, this is a must return ACE!

    It possibly is the best bang for your buck in terms of AYCE KBBQ…read more I do like the selections of meat available in addition to the kimchi. I left beyond full and sleepy. That's what lots of grilled meat can do to you. I also do appreciate that the stools store things in it.

    Updating my review to add commentary about the catering for a party…read more It was an absolute crowd pleaser! I ordered ribs, brisket, chicken, potato salad, beans, Cole slaw, garden salad, and garlic bread. The favorite was the brisket but they truly loved every bit of it. Very impressed with the packaging and presentation. They were packing it up as I arrived and everything was hot and fresh. The staff were delightful and even helped load everything into my car. The portions were very generous and I felt a good value for the money. We were all very full and happy. Received many comments about how good it was. I will tell anyone looking to cater or serve a crowd to order BBQ Pit. I ordered using their website and it was incredibly easy to do, and appreciated the email confirmations and follow-up.

    This is my second time here for dinner and there is plenty of parking here. The line was not long…read moreand moved pretty quickly. The beers they have on tap are posted on the wall. They also carry cans as well that are not listed and you can just grab it from the fridge and pay at the register. There is a good amount of seating inside and there are a few tables outside as well. I ordered my stout and i let it sit as the foam settled and realized that the pour did not fill up the glass. I let the staff know and they fixed the issue by topping off my drink. The staff are very friendly and understanding. During my first visit, we ordered the ribs and brisket as well as a tri tip salad. The brisket was very tender and juicy. I usually avoid ordering briskets since most BBQ places in San Jose that I've been to have made them very dry. There was only one piece that wasn't juicy which I expected since it had no fat on it. It was still tender and not dried out. The ribs were also good. It was tender and didn't stick to the bone as much but it wasn't as tender where it just slides off the bone. The seasoning on the ribs was neutral and the BBQ Pit have their own special bbq sauce (regular and spicy) which goes well with the meat. My wife ordered the tri tip salad and she enjoyed it. I stole some of her greens to balance the meat and beer and the veggies were fresh. The salad came with cornbread but I didn't try it. On my second visit, I decided to get the tri tip woith a side of baked potato and coleslaw. The baked potato was $3 extra. The tri tip had really good flavor and texture. It ripped apart easily when pulling. The coleslaw was ok. I might get the mac and cheese or beans next time. My wife ate the baked potato and ate most of it. I tried a little bit where it was just the potato and it was not overcooked and not too undercooked. It was easy to scoop with the fork without too much effort. If you are in the area and craving for BBQ, I highly recommend trying this place. The portion is not as big as BBQ joints in Texas or KC but they are on par with the ones around San Jose. The pricing is decent and like I mentioned, is also on par to San Jose pricing. If you have a big group, there are plenty of tables to accommodate folks. The location is close to the highway so that's a plus. The staff is very helpful and will give you a good recommendation if you are debating on what to order.
