My favorite taco truck in West San Jose is hands down Tacos Santiaguito…read more I have been sending taco fiends here for about a decade now. Located right off of N Saratoga ave, between hwy280 and Stevens Creek blvd, on the east aide of the street. You will find this gem in the evenings. This place has all the meats that a down foo was raised on, but my go to is always the Al Pastor! Perfectly marinated, huge portions, and even with the pineapple and sautéed onions deliver an amazing plate experience. Now what puts these guys a league above! You get to put your own choice of up to 3 different salsa's. Green and flavorful, orange habanero heat, or spicy red pepper goodness. Ample extras of radish, jalapeño, or onions and habanero slices for the folks who just have guts of steel. This place has such a following, there have been times when I was 10 people deep waiting in line to order. They are quick, yet always tasty. Give your tastebuds a treat!

Really wanted to give this place a higher rating, but I just can't do it. There are simply better…read moretrucks out there with better tacos at a similar price point. (Roughly under $4 per taco, I had a slightly lower price at night) Tacos Santiaguito is conveniently located in a huge parking lot off Saratoga Ave and Stevens Creek Blvd. During the day around noon, there's a different truck parked here that I personally prefer. I first stopped by a few weeks ago and ordered the cabeza, lengua, and tripa. The lengua was tough, the cabeza was decent, and the tripa was bland. I went home ready to type up a review, but after reading that they're better known for their al pastor, asada, and campechanos, I decided to hold off and give them the benefit of the doubt with a second visit. Stopped by again tonight, and unfortunately, they're consistently average at best. The workers looked like they didn't really want to be there on either visit, they're pretty skimpy with a strict two-sauce-cup maximum, and none of the meats really stood out. Out of the six tacos I've tried here, the cabeza and al pastor were the best. However, the bar is pretty low. It's a textbook 3/5, wouldn't make a special trip out.

Based on the dishes we tried, I don't think I'd recommend this place. My friends and I shared the…read moredahi batata puri, chinese bhel, and ragda pattice. The best of the bunch was the dahi batata puri, but it still didn't quite hit the spot. It was definitely on the sweeter side and I felt like the dahi/yogurt wasn't as creamy as I prefer. The chinese bhel was okay, but didn't have much flavor. Lastly the ragda pattice had so much potential. The flavor was there, but it was insanely spicy- even as someone with a med/high spice tolerance. You could feel the burn traveling down to your stomach. All of us found it unbearable and worse of all felt the affects for a day after. Perhaps we ordered the wrong dishes but after the all the discomfort of the meal- I don't feel inclined to return.

I'm not one to write negative reviews often, but this experience at Maya Kitchen Food Truck in…read moreSunnyvale-Cupertino Border warrants it. Yesterday, I ordered a Vada Pav, Shalimar Egg Mughlai (on their recommendation from their list of egg dishes), and a Veg Frankie -- and honestly, none of it lived up to the hype(5 stars currently) or price point. Vada Pav: It was okay. The "mirchi" served alongside was literally a raw Thai green chili. Really? At least pan-fry it with some salt and oil to enhance the flavor. For over $10 with taxes, this was already pricier than better Vada Pavs you can get at places like Elco Drive, and yet it offered nothing exceptional. Frankie: This one made me genuinely angry. It was a soggy maida roll stuffed with the same aloo masala from the Vada Pav, plus a few sad shreds of cabbage. That's it. And they had the audacity to charge $12 for it. ($1.50 for cheese, lol I am glad we didn't add)This isn't a Frankie -- it's a lazy repackaged Vada Pav with no flavor or creativity. They threw in some pickled jalapeños on the side, which only added confusion. If you're running a fusion menu(well partially), at least mention it upfront instead of misleading customers. Egg Shalimar Mughlai: At $13, it was passable but still not impressive. The bun on the side was not toasted or anything. Better than the Frankie, but nothing I'd recommend or return for. I was so excited for trying this place but, overall, this place is overpriced, underwhelming, and frankly disappointing. If your Vada Pav and Frankie are practically identical, maybe inform customers before they order both. I wouldn't recommend Maya Kitchen -- save your time, appetite and money and go somewhere else. Thank me later.

We stopped by during an open house and Sipbie was doing a little pop up. Of course we had to give…read moreit a shot. The truck is so cute and compact. The menu offering is limited but has enough variety to please most palates including kids as they do offer hot chocolate. The lavender latte was delicious. The coffee beans had a deep flavor reminiscent of Vietnamese coffee. The lavender flavor was unlike any other. It didn't have that artificial syrup taste. It wasn't overly florally, instead it just enhances the coffee without overpowering. Even more so, the vanilla latte was even better because that Madagascar bean flavor really shines through. I recommend getting this one if you're unsure what to order. We got to chit chat with the owner and he makes all the syrups from scratch. Both the lavender and vanilla bean syrup are homemade which is why you can really taste and appreciate the difference. The owner was very personable, open to criticism and all around a pleasant person. He seemed very knowledgable about coffee and clearly passionate about what he does. One thing I really appreciated was the temperature of the coffee. The lattes were served nice and hot. They prioritize the coffee experience rather than latte art which I appreciated. Check them out at their next pop up!

Firstly, because I incorrectly thought Roti was talking about that flat bread. I love that flat bread! N so I pass by it week by week and the line just keeps on getting longer n longer. If the lines not long, then there is only a few racks left on the truck. Two good signs of a good spot. So, me and the kiddos wait in line and it's about 30m. Then, we wait a bit more and our order is available. Overall, wait time isn't too bad since the farmers market had enough stuff going on to entertain the kids. If you're up for a quick grab and go, hope for a shorter line. The music and the location was the biggest draw. The food, 1/2 chicken, 1/2 rack was pretty good as well. I've read the other reviews so, not sure what the comparison of food was to. But we were happy. Kids enjoyed it!

Before we get into the drinks, I will say I love the simplicity of the menu. Everything is $8 and kids drinks are $3. Typically I am shocked at an $8 drink, but you can really taste the quality matcha. Not to mention, oat milk is free!!!!!! Oh and specialty cold foam is included too. Now onto the drinks, the line takes some time but once you order, your drink is ready in like 5 mins. We ordered the Matcha Matcha and Strawberry with matcha cold foam and they were 10/10. The strawberry one was our fave bc the purée is so fresh!!! And typically I get light sweet everything, but I would say go for regular sweetness here. Also, I love the owner's(?) TikToks on the behind the scenes of the business and watching her make the different components of the drinks. So so cool to try it in person and will be coming back!! :) Total: $16

They take card, but there's an up-charge for it. The order: Super Burrito (asada) $12: I'm not playing on the price, check the photos. Delicious burrito that was a nice size and excellent price point. The tortilla tasted so nicely toasted and had a crisp at the edges. Along with your choice of meat, the burrito has Spanish rice, avocado, onions, salsa, beans. What else do you need? The length was almost my entire forearm, might have been actually. I was also given two sauces: a cilantro green sauce and (chipotle maybe) a red sauce. I did not receive the orange sauce mentioned in other reviews. Remember to request what you'd like. The second time I went, they gave me red sauce and orange sauce. Minus 1 star because of slightly inconsistent quality. When I went the second time, the fillings were still great, but ratio was different than the first time. It made the burrito taste different, no crispiness. Still good, but seemed more like a mid burrito I wouldn't have been raving about. BUT I did go right before closing compared to right after opening, which I can understand could make a difference.

So many cars to admire and explore, and not so crowded that it becomes difficult to move around comfortably. A good range of music playing through the speakers added to the laid back summer vibe of the event, including hits like I Get Around by the Beach Boys and Hey Jude by the Beatles, while an "all star" band performed other tunes further down the street which was lined with these beautiful classic cars for several blocks. Some of my faves include a 1962 VW Double Cab Bus, a 1957 Chevy Bel Air (in a unique blue tone), a '37 Woodie with modifications (maple wood, suicide door, vortex motor, etc.), and a metallic silver VW Beetle.... But they had more than just cars here, bikes too! I especially liked one of the bikes designed as a train in the Saratoga Village Center area of the event (in fact, I kind of liked this more than the cars, even in its simplicity). They sold beer and wine (separate tents for tickets/bracelets and for actually getting your drinks). We enjoyed the Wolf Pup IPA as we strolled along Big Basin Way touring the display of the various show vehicles. Not only did we enjoy viewing all of the cool cars, but we also got to check out some unique shops and eateries along the main street in this charming neighborhood. There were also a few miscellaneous vendors on site, and I saw one food truck (more reason for visitors to support the local businesses in this old town district). We grabbed some dark chocolate espresso beans from Moke Hill Nuts and Candies before we left, a yummy treat to snack on as we ventured on to our next destination. Parking was easy at West Valley College (about 5 minutes drive away), and the wait for the shuttle to and from the event wasn't too bad, with much needed AC inside the shuttle bus on a hot and sunny day. For a free event, the Saratoga Classic and Cool Car Show is definitely deserving of 5 stars. Organized well, lots of friendly people, a perfect relaxed outing with friends, family, or a significant other, whether or not you are car enthusiasts.

2019 was the 10th anniversary of the Saratoga Classic Car Show, which was organized by Cool Car…read moreClub, who runs annual shows in Campbell and Los Gatos as well. There were so many cars... maybe TOO many. There must have been 300 or more. After 50 minutes in the scorching heat (8 weeks after a new hip), I had to regrettably turn back about halfway. The organizers couldn't do anything about the heat, but they did have a misting fan area (courtesy Compass) and the kick-ass live band (Chubby's All-Stars) thoughtfully kept asking pet owners not to walk their dogs on the hot asphalt. And the funeral home was passing out free ice water... ironically (and thankfully) trying NOT to get new business. By the way, the organizers also have a car cruise and a kick-off party leading up to the car show, so check their website for more information. Besides being FREE, I loved a lot of things about it. The car selection was vast, my favorites being the Jeepster, blue '72 Bronco, a yellow Datsun 510, Ford Suburban, mid 60s Mustangs, camper van, Good Humor ice cream wagon. Shuttle services were available. Free photo (courtesy Chamber of Commerce. The live band was pumped out in speakers up and down the streets of beautiful downtown Saratoga.Good selection of food and drinks, including affordable $5 Bud Lights, in case you needed more water.
