This was my first time at Taqueria Tacos A La Parrilla, and I'm so glad I found this place! I was on the Evergreen east side of San Jose and was seriously craving a good burrito. I Googled nearby spots, and this one was highly recommended--and wow, they were right. I ordered a carne asada burrito with chips and guacamole on the side. Even though I placed my order about 10 minutes before closing, the gentleman there was incredibly kind and still made my burrito fresh for pickup. That alone says a lot about their customer service. The burrito was amazing--so flavorful, delicious, and satisfying. Every bite was packed with great taste. The chips and guacamole were also on point. I left very happy and very full! Great food, great service, and a great experience overall. I will definitely be coming back. So glad I discovered this spot! read more

I'm writing this based on my recent experience. I usually enjoy their food, so I decided to call for a catering order. The first two times I called, no one answered. I understand they might have been busy, but they never called me back. After a few hours, I called again and someone finally picked up. I asked about catering, and they said they would call me later. But I never heard back. I gave it one last try and called again. This time, the person sounded very uninterested and didn't answer basic questions about catering packages, tray sizes, or if they could even accommodate my requested date. read more

I had opportunity to go back after long time 8 years! Ordered same dishes super veggie burrito, Veggie Taco and Veggie Sope. Run still by same family, same great service, quality and taste. Not a fancy place but great food and their green sauce is to die for. Fresh ingredients brings good taste and run by family, I always see that dedication come through the food in such establishments. Happy they survived. Of course my experience is only vegetarian food. read more

Driving around the area, I stumbled upon Tacos A La Parrilla, which is located in a large plaza that has Chavez Market, closer to Baskin Robbin's Ice Cream but around the corner. Parking is not even a thought. You should find any space. The taqueria has inside dining only - several tables. Simple modest decor. One unisex restroom. The service was very friendly and helpful opened the door for me when I was about to walk in. Agua Fresca Horchata (3.5/5) - chilled, served with no ice, just all Horchata and just the way i like it. LOL. Delish. Regular Tacos: meat, cilantro, onions (4/5). I got one with Al Pastor and One with Buche. They came with two types of hot sauces and lime wedges. The green sauce was more vinegary and packed a spicy kick. The other was more traditional and spicy. Both tacos were a good size. I was expecting street tacos size but these were not. The Al Pastor was cooked a different way than I expected, it wasn't like on a rotating spit with a pineapple on top. The buche surprised me too as it was crispy and had a nice edge to it. Support your local business. read more

So I am disappointed to update my review for this spot; becusse today I had the worst California burrito I have ever had. This used to be our go to spot for California burritos; because they offered good crispy carnitas; with crispy fries that each bite would be heavenly. And I absolutely loved their green salsa. today we got California burritos, usual order, but it was not good at all; the burritos were super soggy, and not really flavorful. The folks working in the bakc weren't the usual staff either, before it would be abuela's cooking; but not anymore and the food taste like that as well. The front desk staff member was nonchalant; when asked for extra green salsa he handed me one small extra sauce container (it's a quarter of a size of a typical taqueria salsa offerings.) The burrito size was double the typical (and it goes to show bigger does not mean better). The interior was fairly empty; one person sitting (they looked like staff member); historically I would see this place being busy, but I wonder if that is also a sign that is gone downhill. That was a disappointing burrito read more

I probably wouldn't have seen this place if I didn't look for it on Yelp. So good thing my girlfriend and I were in the mood for Mexican food. Specifically Refried Beans and Mexican Rice. Got there around 6pm and no one was here so we had our doubts but then after we ordered a dinner rush swung in and the place was popping! Since my girlfriend only wanted Rice and Bean, we picked up a platter so I could get tacos and she could get those items. Portion size is SO GENEROUS. I wanted the 3 tacos expecting it to be decently filled. But all 3 tacos came fully loaded and I swear I could take the falling meat and use the 2nd tortilla to make 6 tacos. I will say, it's pretty oily which messes up my stomach , so just be prepared. Wish they included pineapple but still solid. The refried beans could've been smashed a little more as my girlfriend likes it a little more mushy but overall it was pretty good along with the Mexican Rice. Def can't mess that up. I'll be back and hopefully grab a burrito next time! read more

Went here with a friend based of a recommendation and I can say they tacos didn't disappoint. The service was quick and efficient and the food came out quickly.

Went here on a Friday evening around 6ish and it didn't disappoint. I've seen this location every time I'm In the San Jose area and decided to give it a try. Loved that there was spacious if parking due to the buildings nearby being closed. At first when I entered it was really empty, but I never go based off of that. I ordered a asada super burrito with two asada super tacos and my friend ordered asada flautas. The super tacos came first and man the meat was flavorful and the taco was the perfect size. Typically super tacos are either very big or too small, but it was just right. The super burrito was good overall, I just didn't like that there was a lot of beans than normal in the burrito. I tried my friend's flautas and man they were cooked really good and they weren't too crunchy. The staff here is really friendly and there is a restroom. Overall I'd come here again if I'm in the area and I'd recommend this place. read more

It's been better the last few times I went. Still likely hit or miss, so depends on the day

I got the vegetarian taco platter with refried beans and it was very good no complaints but nothing particularly stood out. Their meat selection might be tastier. I loved that there were a lot of toppings though, for no significant extra charge. Got takeout from here so didn't spend much time inside. But there were a few seats and helpful staff. read more

Just a mini note, I've only ordered Veggie Burittos and corn quesadillas. I enjoy the portions as one buritto is easily 2 mini meals for me :). The corn quesadillas are a little oily but nothing the dab of a napkin can't fix :). They're also next to Baskin Robbins so it's a plus :). read more

Never heard of this place until I was looking for some local tacos, and I wish I tried this spot sooner! The meat is flavorful, and both the green and red salsa are delicious. I normally go for green salsas or orange sauce, but here, the red salsa was my favorite since it was spicy. Prices appear steeper than your typical street taco, but the tacos are fairly large, so I think it's worth. SUPER TACOS: 4/5 ($5/taco) + MUST try! Huge portions and comes with avocado. I opted out of beans and it wasn't as soggy of a taco + 2 super tacos were enough for me to feel full + Al pastor was juicy and delish! + Carne asada was good but the al pastor was so much better read more

Do yourself a favor and skip this place. Ordered al pastor burrito, verified on the receipt it was al pastor, and pretty sure they stuffed my burrito with Chile Verde. There's BONES in my burrito. Literally chunks of bones. Really quite awful. The guy behind the counter is not entirely there. No greeting even when I say Hello. Walked away to grab a giant tub of horchata(?) while i was in the middle of ordering. Seriously though, the wrong meat and even bones in my burrito... that's just pure negligence read more

This taqueria is a gem! The portions are generous for such a reasonable price, and every dish I've tried has been absolutely delicious. The menu is intentional, not overwhelming, with an authentic selection that makes it easy to pick something great without flipping through pages, just look at the board. Everything smells and tastes incredibly fresh. You can really tell they care about quality and flavor. Definitely a spot worth coming back to again and again! read more

This place is super underrated! We got the super burritos which were DELICIOUS! They were stuffed, fairly priced, and the filling was evenly proportioned so you get a little bit of everything with each bite. I also liked their green and red salsas. I ordered online through Yelp via Grubhub which was easy, but it doesn't really update so I wasn't sure if my order was ready. But I showed up within the timeframe and my order was waiting for me. There's plenty of parking available. Would definitely recommend for your next takeout night. read more

This taqueria in the corner of a small plaza is definitely a hidden gem. There are lots of Mexican restaurants and taco places in the area, but this is unique in its own way. It's a simple little sit down place to eat tacos with a casual vibe so don't let those fancy looking tacos in the picture fool you into feeling like you need to dress up... although they'd welcome you either way! Their tacos are great and quite different from others in the area. There are times when the season-er has a heavy hand, but most of the time, their tacos are perfectly seasoned. Just look at those pictures! Their tacos are LOADED so keep that in mind when you think of those super tacos. We usually order Carne Asada and Al Pastor, but we have definitely been adventurous and tried the others. They are all so good but the CA and AP are definitely our favorites. TIP: Bring cash or they'll charge a 3.98% fee if you use your card. Their tablet is an iPad an not one of those that automatically asks for tip, tap, and print. However, keep in mind that they may be manually inputting orders so mistakes can be made and got charged 39.8% instead if 3.98% so check your receipt! They resolved it eventually, but I cannot say that it didn't take multiple attempts, 3rd grade Math, and some assertive approach. I'll take 0.5 points off for the experience because it wasn't an easy resolution, but I assure you that most of the time, it's quite decent with friendly cashiers. read more

15$ California burrito It was HUGE and honestly for that price I'm not complaining at all. The meat was nice a juicy I asked for the fries extra crispy so that made it 10x better. Meat, Rice and beans were perfectly seasoned perfect blend of pico de gallo and avocado with cheese and sour cream ratio About a 8/10 minute wait so not too bad. The minus 1 point is due to the person @ register whose customer service could be a lot better but it is what it is I guess ‍ The green salsa was good the red one was not they should add another sauce in my opinion. Overall tho I'd come back other food looks good too read more

I usually get the burrito or the super tacos. Today I had their carne asada fries. Man it was tasty! They put nacho cheese and mozzarella cheese. Some place don't even put nacho cheese. This is probably the best carne asada fries I've had in a while the fries and asada ratio was well balanced. Some places got more fries than meat. 10/10! read more

Had a long week, and decided that some yummy Mexican food is what I needed to end the night and landed up here! This is a small shop in the side of a plaza that makes authentic Mexican food. I ended up ordering: * california burrito with Al pastor - this was absolutely delicious and also came with 2 different types of salsas which were absolutely delicious. The burrito size was huge and overall I enjoyed every bite. I wish the meat was a little bit more marinated and fries had a tad bit more salt, but the burrito definitely did not skimp and was flavorful. Definitely give this place a shot and get extra salsas because they are good!! read more

My friends and I went here on a Saturday lunch cause we were craving some Mexican food for lunch. The place was in a plaza with lots of parking space. Inside, the restaurant was quite clean with a good number of seats and tables. I felt that service was understaffed at the time we arrived as there was one person in the kitchen and another person as the waiter/cashier. It took a while for us to order our food. Luckily, it was worth the wait as the food was fantastic. I got three super tacos, each with a different type of meat. Compared to other taco places I been to in the bay, this place gives way more meat, tortilla, and Avocado, making it more filling. The sauces were tasty and the meat was juicy. I was surprised on how juicy the carne asada was too and it was my favorite. The chicken was also marinated well and very savory. I would go to this place again just for how much good food I got from it! read more

Haven't been here in awhile. Looks like they did a little remodeling. Service was great but it was a bit slow but understandable as they had a huge order placed before I got there. I ordered the super taco to-go and for sure will eat that there next time I order it. It got soggy by the time I got home. Other than that they've updated their menu from the last time I was there. read more

My friend and I ordered and she didn't really know much about the food and theyre was two teenage boys and they just looked at her weird and while I was eating my food I felt uncomfortable because they were staring at me the whole time. My friend and I left and we noticed the two guys left the store right away while we were getting in the car and we noticed that one of the guys were following us and doing improper lane changes to stay in our lane at this point me and my friend felt so uncomforable. The next day passes my friend used this one card to pay for her food and noticed the next day she was charged $200 from her card. read more

Small hole in the wall restaurant with seating but no restrooms.... Was on the road and was lunch time and needed a bathroom break and wanted tacos since I'm in San Jose. Order at register, simple menu Food comes out quick Of the 3 items, reg al pastor taco, fish taco & quessiabirria, my fav was the fish taco. I like how much avocado they put and it's included in the reg al pastor taco which is a nice surprise. The quessabirria was just ok, could be a bit more cheesier, maybe put some cheese between the two tortillas. Worth a try and good price for the area. read more

A super convenient place to get your cravings satisfied! We were craving tacos today and ended up ordering al pastor tacos and super nachos with carne asada. They were both so delicious! Whenever I get nachos from here, I always have leftovers because the portions are huge, and I'm not mad about it. The meat was juicy and flavorful, and they gave us plenty of limes with our tacos. We've been here so many times and we've never been disappointed. It's conveniently located in a small shopping center with a couple of other businesses, including 24 hour fitness. I would recommend calling ahead to pick up your food if you're in a rush, it may take a little while if you come in to order. read more

Came here after finding it on yelp, place is a bit hard to find, it's in the corner, no sign. Upon entry the place was fairly clean and menu looked pretty delicious so we were excited about the food. When ordering the guy at the front was extremely rude, I said hello to him twice, ignored me both times. I placed my order consisting of 4 regular tacos (they have regular tacos and super tacos or something similarly named), then my other friends ordered. When we got the tacos we all noticed that he upgraded all of us to the super tacos and charged us the extra $1.50 per taco. We initially were willing to excuse it as maybe miscommunication but one of our friends literally said in his order 1 regular taco and 1 super taco and he got 2 super tacos so there really was no excuse. It was clear at the end that he took advantage of us and yes while we should have probably checked the math before paying we thought we could trust the restaurant. oh and the tacos weren't that great anyway read more

My personal favorite of local taquerias in San Jose. We know about the famous Super Taqueria and La Costa, but this joint is just different. My go to is either the carne asada super burrito or taco plate. Always done to perfect. Carne asada fries also need some recognition as well. I believe this place has been open for as recent as early 2025. Since finding out about this gem, I've been ordering every single week no joke lol. The cooks are professionals at their craft it blows me. Will be moving to Minnesota next week but will definitely have to come back when I visit my hometown read more

I was visiting with family and we wanted to try something different. A family member told me about this place she tried and had really good food. I'm always down to try new things so we decided to order dinner from this place. It honestly looks like a hole-in-the-wall setting, and I feel like these places are like gold mines. And boy was I write. The service was pretty fast for us, since we ordered and got our stuff in about 10-15 minutes. There was a huge line after we ordered, which got me thinking this place has to be popular. Super Taco: This is not your average sized taco. They have both a fried/crispy taco shell along to go with a soft one. There is a nice chunk of avocado and lots of meat. For the price you pay, this is a rather filling taco. Wet Burrito: I really enjoyed the red sauce to go along with this. Presentation looks really nice and the chicken was delicious. I recommend this burrito if you enjoy one on the wetter side. Carne Asada Fries: Though visually it could look better, the gate was all there. They give you a lot of meat and the fries had some crisp to them. Sadly though, packing that much saucy stuff like the salsa and sour cream does cause soggy fries. Super Burrito: We got a steak one and this is similar to the wet burrito, without the wet. Very delicious and filling indeed. Overall, this is a gem. I recommend everyone to try this place out, cause I see myself coming back here again. read more

This place is not what it used to be two years ago. For those like myself, it's difficult to find restaurants that do not have a sign outside. Customer service was okay. The burrito was good, but there were some hard and dry carne asada pieces. Not a big fan of the lengua tacos. Seasoning was super salty and the beans need to be cooked longer. read more

The food is hot or miss. Some days really good others feels like the meat isn't as fresh.
