    Aguachiles negro
    Maddy V.

    Michelada: /5 1st time trying Aguachiles and I'm satisfied!! Definitely coming again to try their other seafood items.

    First time trying Mr. Shrimp, and overall it was a great experience. We ordered two empanadas de camarón, a tuna tostada, an al pastor burrito, and two shrimp tacos. Out of everything, our least favorite was the al pastor meat, but all of the seafood dishes were fresh and flavorful. They also have a mini salsa bar with a few select salsas. I really liked that they offered chili oil and rabanos. The food does take a little while to come out, but everything arrived hot and fresh, which made it worth the wait. Parking is available behind the restaurant, although it can be a little tricky to find at first. Overall, a really good spot for seafood, and I'd definitely come back.

    Mr. Shrimp was excellent! The seafood and tacos were both delicious, and everything we ordered was fresh and full of flavor. The owner was incredibly friendly and even made us a complimentary taco to try, which was amazing. That level of hospitality really stood out and made the experience even better. Great food, great service, and a welcoming atmosphere. I'll definitely be back and highly recommend checking it out!

    My husband came in on a Sunday around noon. It's a food truck that makes everything fresh to order but we didn't wait very long for our food. I order carne asada tacos with a fish ceviche tostada, my husband ordered the ahi tuna tostada and an al pastor burrito. Everything was 10/10, although they were out of la llorona and la víctima but it's okay it just means we'll have to comeback to try it! There was plenty of seating and staff were very friendly and kind, that goes a long way with us! There was a tv and music playing, made it a really fun environment.

    The food is high quality and extremely flavorful! It is all fresh and the oysters were so juicy! The service is welcoming and got the order ready quick. Also the ambiance is outdoorsy with straw umbrellas at our tables. I will definitely come here again. Keep in mind it is on the pricy side.

    The restaurant is small, but the thoughtful décor and layout give it a welcoming and vibrant atmosphere. Everything feels clean and well kept. The staff is friendly despite the wait to receive your food items. We ordered a variety of dishes and every single one was packed with flavor. The seafood was fresh, perfectly seasoned and beautifully presented. The highlight of the meal had to be the micheladas! bold, refreshing, and easily some of the best I've had anywhere. Whether you're stopping by for a casual lunch or a fun evening out, this spot delivers on all fronts. Highly recommend for anyone who loves great seafood, good vibes, and a perfectly crafted michelada!

    Located in San Jose is this hidden food truck with some outside eating area! They also have a nice sauce area with a lot of options for condiments! The only thing is parking is not the best from what I could tell. We got three tacos the vampiro, mar y tierra, and the shrimp taco and all were amazing. It definitely fit our cravings and would definitely come back as everything was delicious! Highly recommend if you are looking for something delicious!

    Food and all salsas on point. My favorite Shrimp, Fried fish tacos, and ceviches in SJ. The owner Cain and staff are all amazing and brings the great vibes! Highly recommend

    Mr. Shrimp is definitely top 3 favorite Mexican spots for me. It's a colorful little food truck walkimg distance from Japantown and the workers there are so friendly and accommodating. I ordered through the phone for pick up while I was walking my dog and ordered pastor, asada, and shrimp taco. My boyfriend got a shrimp burrito. When we got there, the guy gave us an extra mar y Tierra taco (asada and shrimp with cheese and avocado) and that ended up being my favorite! Food here is so fresh and flavorful and huge. My boyfriend's burrito was huge and he loved their Mexican rice. Would 100% recommend to everyone who loves Mexican food and seafood.

    Some places just get it right every single time and this taco truck is one of them…read more I've ordered through DoorDash and picked up directly from the truck, and the experience is identical either way: fresh, correct, and consistent without fail. That kind of reliability is more rare than it should be, and it's worth calling out. The tacos themselves are the main event. The Carne Asada, Suadero, and Al Pastor are all standouts, but the Al Pastor especially earns its spot. They serve it with pineapple, which is the way it's meant to be done and a detail that tells you they actually care about getting it right. These are easily some of the best tacos in San Jose, and I don't say that lightly given how much competition there is in the South Bay. But the drinks alone might be worth the trip. Their Horchata and Agua Fresca are genuinely among the best I've had anywhere in the Bay Area and that's a real statement in a region with no shortage of excellent options. The salsa bar is a nice bonus: a self-serve setup where you scoop what you want into containers, and they send you off with baggies of fresh cilantro and onion so you can finish the tacos exactly how you like them. They actively encourage you to take plenty, which tells you a lot about the kind of place this is. The staff is warm and welcoming on top of everything else. Truly one of the best taco trucks around. Don't sleep on it!!

    Overall Rating 4/5…read more (They've done me well in the past, so although this visit wasn't the best I return because of my past experiences) Burrito Suadero burrito 6/10 - the burrito was okay, today was a miss for the burrito as it lacked a lot of flavor and they filled it up with 75% rice this time. This is the only time I didn't finish the burrito and usually it has a lot more flavor but unfortunately this time I was disappointed in the quality to the point I didn't finish it. Tacos suadero 8/10 cabeza con el vapor 9.5/10 lengua con el vapor 6/10 carne asada 6/10 al pastor 8.5/10 The tacos were the star of the show tonight with the their Al Pastor Tacos and Cabeza con el vapor! Those had the best flavor profile The green and orange sauces were okay, not extremely flavorful and receive a sauce rating of 2.5/5; it's good for the first couple bites then the flavor fatigue gets real. Next time only cabeza and al pastor in taco form. Panchito is a nice taco truck located next to the tire shop. They have extremely nice staff that really make you feel at home. I usually come here whenever I am craving Mexican food and sometimes it is hit or miss. They have tables outside but sometimes it's too cold at night so I Togo the food home, but they always play some great music there!

    I've been a regular customer at El Halal Amigos for quite some time and have tried many different…read moreitems on the menu. Today, I decided to order the Chicken Fajitas, and it completely exceeded my expectations. Without a doubt, it was the most delicious fajitas dish I have ever had. The chicken was perfectly seasoned, the vegetables were cooked just right, and all the flavors came together beautifully. Everything was cooked to perfection. The portion size was very generous, and the sides were fantastic. The guacamole, sour cream, Spanish rice, and black beans were all fresh, flavorful, and complemented the meal perfectly. I've always enjoyed the food here, but from now on the Chicken Fajitas will definitely be my regular order. Well-deserved 5 stars. Thank you, El Halal Amigos!

    This was my very first visit to El Halal Mexican Restaurant in the heart of downtown Willow Glen,…read moreand I've been wanting to stop by for a while. I finally decided to give it a try after hearing about the restaurant from food reviewer Dave fiore text. As someone who absolutely loves tacos and is always on the hunt for great local taco spots, I was excited to see how this place compared to some of my favorites. I ordered four different tacos, and overall, they were pretty good. They weren't bad by any means, but they also didn't quite blow me away. The meat was cooked well, the tortillas were fresh, and the tacos had good flavor. The salsa was decent too, although I personally prefer something with a little more kick. Everyone has different tastes, so this is just my opinion. One thing I really appreciated was how clean and organized the restaurant was. You can tell they take pride in keeping the dining area nice and welcoming. The staff was friendly, and my food came out quickly. It's always a good sign when a restaurant pays attention to both cleanliness and customer service. I've eaten at a lot of taco places throughout the Bay Area, so I naturally compare every new place to some of my favorites. While El Halal Mexican Restaurant didn't make the top of my list, I still had a good experience and I'm glad I finally gave it a shot. Not every restaurant has to be your favorite to be worth visiting. I also like supporting family-owned businesses because I know how much hard work goes into running a local restaurant. They deserve credit for creating a clean, welcoming place and serving quality food. Will I come back? Maybe. If I do, I'd probably try something different on the menu instead of the tacos. Sometimes a restaurant's best dish isn't the first thing you order, and I'd be interested in seeing what else they have to offer. Overall, I'd give El Halal Mexican Restaurant a solid 4 out of 5 stars. It was a good experience, I'm happy I finally got to try it, and if you're in the Willow Glen area, it's worth stopping by and deciding for yourself.
