First time trying Taco Mania at Valley Fair, and I can't believe I waited this long! The tacos were absolutely to die for. I was so hungry that I completely forgot to take pictures because I started eating right away. Halfway through my meal I realized, "I should've snapped a few photos!" I'll definitely do that next time. The whole family loved it. My family ordered a variety of tacos, and my son got a burrito. Everyone kept saying it was some of the best Mexican food they've had in a long time. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. I've always wanted to try Taco Mania, and I'm so glad I finally did. If you're at Valley Fair or in the West San Jose area, this place is definitely worth a visit. I highly recommend it, and we'll definitely be back to try more of the menu! read more

I always walk past this spot whenever I come to the mall, so I finally decided to try it today. I ordered the food on their website & pick it up whenever it's ready, which saves me time waiting in the store. I got the carne asada taco (bottom) and the birria taco (top). Honestly, it's pretty good, especially for mall food. I loved the grilled onions on the side, and the sauces were really flavorful too. I'll definitely be back to try more of their menu! read more

1 star. Worst service I've experienced in a while. I waited in line for about 5 minutes with my stroller and one-year-old, following the same line as multiple customers in front of me. There were no signs or directions showing where the line actually started. When it was finally my turn and I began ordering, the cashier, Nancy, interrupted me mid-sentence to say, "next time the line is on the other side," and then immediately said she was going to help the person behind me instead. I was genuinely confused because I had been clearly waiting in line the entire time, right behind other customers. It made no sense and felt extremely rude and dismissive. I ended up leaving without ordering. Completely unprofessional and honestly ruined my whole shopping experience. Definitely won't be coming back. read more

I was craving carne asada nachos while shopping at Valley Fair mall and I'm so glad I tried theirs! Around $13 they loaded up the nachos and didn't skimp on the meat and toppings! I got mine to go and they gave so much!! Delicious. Would order from them again! read more

This place is a Taqueria in Westfield Valley Fair Mall. Very easy to walk by because it's small and doesn't stand out but we noticed it, and it was delicious! We ordered a Suadero (beef brisket) Super Burrito with the flour tortilla toasted with their rice and beans and it was delicious. The whole beans were so flavorful and the rice was fluffy and equally flavorful. The Al Pastor Super Taco was a hit as well. This place is perfect for a casual bite to eat. You order at the counter and the place has a small staff but very friendly and helpful. There is indoor seating, a few tables there. Regardless, you can always find seating inside the mall to eat. read more

This is an inviting looking taco shop by the second "food court" at the mall. I have seen their food trucks around and was excited to try them. The queso birria tacos were OK. I have not seen them busy every time I've come by this area and I hope traffic picks up for them. read more

Just walking by, said: "why not?" Lol. Veggie burrito is packed with veggies, I appreciate that. Tortillas are actually decent. Salsas very good flavor with a light kick. In the mall so location is small but food is good. Seen all other reviews for meat based stuff but the veggie option is solid. read more

Right by Macy's in Valley Fair. Came in to grab a bite. You order at the counter and pick up your order but there's plenty of seat to sit. Very casual walk in place. The carne asada tacos were delicious and hit the spot. I make one taco into two as they give you two piece of tortilla. read more

No wonder the low rating. Terrible food! Terrible attitude! Food was below average and pricey for both quality and quantity. Everything was bland and tasteless. Meat was old and hard. Nacho was a mess. Costco's pre-made Mexican food is way better than this franchise crap. I probably make Mexican food better than them too. Had the audacity to ask for 15% tip when giving no service -asked for "a couple of water" and he gave me a cup of water half full. Not only bad at customer service but bad at math. Never again! read more

Taco Mania is a relatively new addition to Westfield mall. The place looks clean and the workers are friendly. The tacos came out pretty quickly (under 5 minutes). There's no line and really the reason is food quality. Do you like your meat and tortillas tasteless and chewy? I don't either. The pork belly was like leather and the tortillas were dry and nasty. The quesabirra was slightly better but really just more oily. Hard pass. read more

Food: Chorizo was not fresh nor Al Pastor. Agua fresca mmm no more like Agua al tiempo. Service: You would think since the grill is in front of the store the cook would at least say a welcoming greeting or say someone will be there shortly...nothing said instead he's calling three times to his younger co-worker to come assist; who comes out and doesn't even greet the customers either, but it's just there waiting for the customers to say their order. Again back to the cook; seemed like he didn't want to be there flipping the meat or tortillas lol. Ambience: The music was the best thing there. read more

Super delish food! Fast and friendly service, so convenient because it's inside Valley Fair mall. The quality of meats is excellent- my hubby loves the carnitas and carne asada! And their sauces are so good! Great portion! Love the decor- fun, trendy and the place is always clean and neat! read more

solid place for casual tacos in the mall. i ordered the basic taco. for about $4 a pop, its not too bad. the cook of the meat and the heated corn tortillas are a nice touch. it only comes with onion and cilantro if you don't upgrade to the super tacos, but the cashier helped me add diced tomatoes. the steak and brisket proteins aren't seasoned heavily, but it still perfectly satisfied my cravings. i would come back if i was in the mall again. the tables could be cleaned a bit more, but the staff here always go above and beyond in service. read more

Carne asada was terrible. Being Mexican, I was excited to try. But was disappointed with the carne asada, it was so dry it was inedible. They didn't cook it per order but rather warmed the food from premade batches. How a Mexican restaurant that prides itself in authenticity, is worse tasting than Chipotle, is an accomplishment not to be proud of. Plus, they give each customer a number with their receipt but shout "tacos!" "Quesadilla!"' randomly while you have to guess which is your order. Just use the order numbers, why are ya'll struggling? read more

loved their al pastor tacos and birria ramen!! They have a deal on on Wednesdays (i think) where you can get buy 1 get 1 free tacos. The burrito was average read more

I assumed the low average score would be misleading, but I was not prepared for just how good this place was. The taste and presentation were more akin to what I assume a fancy restraunt would be like. The staff were extrenely quick, and took care of everything at lightning speed. My aunt commented on how she prefers how calm and quiet this place is compared to the food court. Do not trust those one star reviews with bizzare and entitled complaints! read more

Lady closing at 9pm on Friday night (1/30) is so rude. I Asked for a cup of water or to purchase water for my very thirsty dog. 3-5 minutes after they closed and she rudely said no we don't sell water and that the floors were wet all so rudely. Wow, so a food place doesn't sell water? Great. Do I look like I live under a rock? You think I would buy that a food establishment doesn't offer water bottles or water cups? Thankfully, Shinlin the store nearby gave us a water cup. Don't support shops and small business who hire Inconsiderate, Disrespectful, and rude employees. Not worth your money or time. Ps to the owner retrain your employees to be a decent human being . A little kindness goes along way and it is definitely not shown at this establishment. read more

I've eaten here several times. With plenty of parking available, this place is very easy to find in the Valley Fair mall. With so many places to eat at in the mall, I find myself regularly returning here. Good cheap eats. You can't go wrong ordering a few tacos here before shopping in the mall. This is definitely one of the better food options here. read more

Came here during the Foodie week on a Monday and they didn't have any birria for the special. Then I ordered two tacos and they said they ran out of carnitas as well. The tacos tasted okay but the service could be improved on. The lady at the cashier seemed like she couldn't care less about things. If you're going to offer a special, I would assume that a business would make sure they're ready for it. read more

This is a cute little taco area that is located on the second floor. Came by on a Wednesday since we were shopping and noticed their the alpastor special. They offer a Bogo on Wednesdays (for alpastor only). Also tried their carne asada and a Jamaica drink. Customer service 10/10 Caren asada 5/10 - very bland Al pastor 7/10 - they have good salsa verde Jamaica drink 8/10 a a bit on the sweet side Overall 3.75 stars. read more

Fresh, crispy, warm, not too oily. Quickly prepared even during the busy day, without losing any taste or quality of the food. Just enough seats. The only complaint is that the drink is on the expensive side, compared to the cost of the dishes. read more

Had their chicken nachos and since it was delivered and sat a little bit, the chips did get quite soggy from their cheese. Was a bit surprised they used the canned cheese (which I do love!) instead of real shredded cheese, but the toppings were plentiful and the chicken was super tasty and tender. read more

Wasnt a fan of the carne asada fries since you have to pay extra for sour cream. Theres no guac, its just a slices of avocado. In short, its a more authentic than like chipotle, but can you find a more authentic mexican food somewhere else? Yes. Good alternative in Valley fair mall because its all Asian foods. Food comes out fast as well! I like their sauces as well read more

(Terrible Experience) My cousins wanted to try tacos (they're from Hong Kong and have not ate tacos before) and we decided to come here because they have a deal for a buy 1 get 1 free Al pastor taco on Wednesdays only. & we were there on a Wednesday! I asked the young cashier that we want to get the buy 1 get 1 deal on the Al Pastor Taco, she told me it's actually buy 1 and get it 50% off. I told her it's written wrong on their sign and she didn't seem to care. An older women came and I told her how their sign is very misleading and she said that's not true because it's buy 1 get 1 free. I was very confuse but she confirmed with me and they took my order. We got our 1 taco and was waiting for the second one. I asked the young cashier if they were making our second one and she said 'no you only bought one'. My family and I were very frustrated as we were told different things. Definitely will NOT be coming back again. I hate to talk bad about a restaurant but I just wanted to give me most honest experience. Overall Rating 0/10 read more

All You Need Is Love + Tacos. Tacomania, nothing could be more true than that statement!! I've visited the Tacomania located not too far from this location, outside of the mall, & have really enjoyed the food. Since I was @ Valley Fair and was in need of dinner, why not give the new Tacomania Santa Clara a try?? The establishment in itself is kind of small and seating is definitely limited [maybe 6 tables inside] but there are plenty of tables outside of the restaurant [along the side]. The menu is very straight forward and isn't too overwhelming. The offering range from tacos, burritos, quesadillas, & quesabirrias. There are plenty of protein options and TM is great for meat lovers and vegetarians alike. Dinner: Asada Super Taco Al Pastor Taco [2] Carne Asada Taco Tripa Burrito While all the food was pretty good, the disappointing side was how wet the super taco was. My opinion, save the $1.25 and go for the regular taco unless you're all about that messy, soggy kind of life. Tripa [intestines] in general was the highlight of the meal. The burrito was delicious and filling. Be advised that there is only one high chair available- if you snooze you lose! Staff isn't very personable but are kind enough. Thank y'all for being patient with us sitting for so long, my child is an EXTREMELY SLOOOOOOW eater. Lmao. 4 stars, I'd come back again for the yummy eats! read more

Tacomania is one of my favorite restaurants! I always love ordering their super tacos, and they are so good! The meat is always well done, the veggies and toppings are super fresh, and all together it's a stellar taco. I also love the layout of the restaurant, it has such a clean and modern vibe to it. It also only takes at most 10 minutes for us to get our food. I highly recommend going to Tacomania if you are at Valley Fair Mall, or if you see the restaurant anywhere! read more

The tacos here is mid. We went on a Wednesday when they have their 2 for 1 deal for their tacos which is a good deal! It comes down to about $1.50 a taco which isn't too bad We ordered 7 Al pastor tacos and the Al pastor was dry and it wasn't flavorful. read more

This is the newest addition in Steven Creek Mall, and it didn't disappoint. Not only is the food good, but the decor is also pretty. I ordered two different entrees--the Quesadilla, which had a nice amount of spice and cheese. The Taco Plate was delicious; it comes with your choice of meat and two sides. I liked the added touch of melted cheese on top of the beans. The service was excellent, considering it was my first time here. Side note, it's not located in the food court; it's in the newest addition near the men's Macy's second floor. read more

I know everyone has a preference for their burritos but for me I don't really like beans on mine. I try to communicate that as clearly as I can whenever I order from places that do burritos and most of the time they get it right. I don't know why but sometimes it doesn't get through to the place and they mess it up. Today I ordered two burritos from "Tacomania", both without onions or beans. Bit into the first one and was instantly disappointed, cut the second one in half and of course both were full of the only two Ingredients I asked them to leave off. Also paid for extra cheese but there really wasn't any to speak of in it. $30 wasted. Adding this place to the list of "never agains". read more

Nachos come with fake nachos cheese, not mozzarella or queso Oaxaca. I wish it said that in the menu. Everything else was great but cheese is the main part of nachos, they should reconsider ingredient. Just my opinion. read more

Had lunch here on Saturday several weeks ago. We decided to try the quesabirria tacos and a chicken burrito. My husband loved his burrito. It was huge and filling. The quesabirria tacos were delicious and loaded with birrea and cheese...however the consommé had no flavor at all. It was so watered down. It tasted like they forgot to add salt and spices. Other than that everything else was delicious. The three tacos were a bit too much for me. Next time I would only order two and hope that the consommé is better next time. Service was good. Our order came out fast. We arrived right when they opened so there was plenty of vacant tables. read more

My go to spot to get tacos when I am in San Jose. I typically get their pastor tacos. The pineapple always hit the spot Service can be hit or miss but typically the food comes out relatively quick.

I got the taco plate and it was pretty good. The taco surprised me as I wasn't expecting much. I got Carne Asada and Al Pastor. The meats were seasoned well and the salsa they offered was a good addition. The rice and beans however were okay to me. The rice lacked flavor for Spanish rice and the beans were okay. Probably skip the taco plate and just get 4 tacos instead. Service was simple as I used their kiosk which is awkwardly placed where people line up for in-person ordering. read more
