Hired by our hospital for a special lunch celebrating nurses. I had 3 tasty fish tacos, only wished fish was cut smaller so I could had held taco better. I asked for all 4 of their sauces (being the salsa addict) and they were all flavorful. Great service too! read more

TaKoz Mod Mex - 3 fish tacos - Street Vendors Near Me - San Jose, California

I got a chance to try these guys out at The Garden at the Flea for Pop Up San Jose's Vintage Black Friday thrift event. I went in with no expectations and a sole craving for tacos and man, oh, man do they deliver. I found that although this particular dish is trending, most eateries tend to focus on either the taco or the consome and fall short on really impressing taste buds. But not here. Every element is considered when taking a bite. Tacos and consome are sold separately and are a must for the birria taco experience. The consome is really developed and packed with flavors and would totally work for ramen. I look forward to ordering from this truck again and trying their ramen, fries, and knockout burrito. read more

I am a big fan of the traditional Mexican menu. And that's a good place to start. But. If you only look at the Takoz Mod Mex menu and read about a taco or a burrito or a quesadilla, you may think this is just another "taco truck" and be on your way. But no, you would be making a mistake. My first visit was in Los Gatos at the La Hacienda Inn, I had one of each of the non-veggie tacos (no offense, I just wanted to try the meats...) and the first treat is the presentation of color and uniqueness. One had little orange slices! Since then I've had opporuntities to try many of Gabriel's creations, and I have to say I am sold. If I have to pick one favorite "Taco truck," I'm afraid it's going to have to be a tie, and this is one of them. [Is that diplomatic enough?]. I'll attach some pics I've taken along the way, but I'll simply say that between the chipotle ribs, the mole, the tortilla soup, the tacos, the quesadilla I had the other day, and who knows what else is about to come out of that genius brain... if you happen upon Takoz Mod Mex, stop immediately, order something, then order some more to go. read more

Their Knockout Burrito is straight coma inducing! If you plan on getting 'knocked out' at work after bellying this burrito, I DARE YOU! double dog dare you. Comatose, forreals. This burrito is bigger than the size of your hand. It's literally the size of a baby. It's filled with all the good stuff (or bad, depending which angle you look at it), But HEY if you're going to do wrong, you better do wrong RIGHT. And this burrito sufficiently hits all target criteria. Imagine all sorts of random meats mixed into a burrito with rice, fries, and egg, sauce, and god knows what else! Gut bomb for sure. This is a meal in itself and would be fantastic after a night out on the town, but be sure to be prepared after scarfing this burrito because it'll put you in a lazy funk right after. I made the deadly mistake of eating one at lunch and had to put work on hold because my brain wasn't fully functioning. I was literally in a state of coma. Luckily this meal kept me full throughout the remainder of the day and even the next! My work paid for this meal but if I were to pay for this myself it would be well worth it because I'd be pregnant with a baby burrito for a whole week. read more

I definitely came away satisfied after trying out Takoz Mod Mex. I ordered a trio of chicken/beef/pork tacos, which totaled $6. That's a fitting price given that they are of the authentic, fresh variety. The one that stood out to me most was the pork; it was sweeter than the pastor I'm familiar with, but it worked out perfectly when combined with some lime juice, the cabbage, and some of TMM's homemade salsa (both rojo and verde). The other two tacos didn't wow me, but part of that was because I had taken my order to go (so the food cooled down while I waited for my friend's orders and drove back to the office). Still, I enjoyed the little innovations behind them, such as the mandarin slice to the chicken and the included lime wedge for flavor enhancement. Unfortunately, the truck was out of tortas when I got there; not too many trucks have this Mexican sandwich available, so I will be on the lookout for TMM again. By the way, their homemade salsas are excellent. It doesn't matter which salsa you use for which taco because it's going to taste very good no matter what. read more

TaKoz Mod Mex - A trio of chicken, beef, and pork tacos. Notice the additions like a black bean and corn garnish and the mandarin slice. $6. - Street Vendors Near Me - San Jose, California

Was at LGFoodfest @ Hacienda Hotel for food and fun on their Friday night thing during the summer! The set up is cool, awesome live music, super close to home and food trucks. We tried TaKoz Mod Mex taco plate ($10) - came with: 3 carne asada finger tacos, small rice, small blk beans. The meat was good (lil spicy) but you could hardly find it, the taco was mainly lettuce! I could have gotten a lobsta roll for $10! Ugh never again, what a rip. read more

TaKoz Mod Mex takes tacos to a whole new level of frickin' delicious. My husband and I tried them for the first time a few weeks ago after a recommendation from my sister. After hiking Alum Rock park and being semi-calorie conscious we ordered 1 barria taco each, and drove back home to Sunnyvale. When we got home and bit into the tacos we realized it's just so damn delicious. Flavor packed, juicy without being soggy. Good hunk of meat in the middle. Their sauce (mango habanero?) is tasty! And I have not even encountered another taco truck that offers that flavor. Well we basically devoured it like hungry lions and realized we should have gotten more. The next weekend we ordered 3 barria tacos each along with the consume. Yum yum! read more

Slowest service on the entire planet. There were 3 people in front of me to order and it took 20 minutes to get through them... Then I waited another 10 minutes for my food. It doesn't matter the quality of the food if it takes a month to get it. read more

Food truck happened to be near by my apartment this afternoon. It was SO good. Went around 6pm and they were out of pork but the woman recommended beef on my nacho libre fries and it was SO GOOD. The star of the show. So flavorful and large portion!! We also got the carne asada tacos which were also fantastic! Got the burrito bowl and it was good but the tacos and fries were just winners. Would recommend! Quick service too. read more

The food is amazing and the service is outstanding as well. Sauces are to die for! They accept debit and credit and offer veggie friendly options! read more

Cool new food truck! They made a stop by my office building recently and I had the pleasure of giving them a try... Fresh food, prepared when you ordered it, with some decent condiment sauces on the side to add a different level of flavor. I decided to give the Carne Asada Torta and Pastor Taco a try... You have to wait a little bit once you order your food and that's because everything seemed to be made fresh, well put together fresh. Everything looked promising once I got it! The pork taco was decent, the veggies on top were light, crisp, and fresh. I have to admit, I didn't taste much seasoning on the pork, so I decided to add one of their sauces on it, I'm not sure which one it was, it was the green'ish looking one, but it added a nice cilantro, lime, and heat flavor to it. Now, on to my Carne Asada Torta, which looked mouth watering! I tried the Carne Asada separately and it was a little on the sweet side which was interesting for a Carne Asada. I took my first bite and it was pretty darn good, the mixture of meat, veggies, and sauce that they put on the Torta went nicely together and kept you wanting more! I than started playing with the other condiments they had on hand, my least favorite was the red'ish one and my most favorite was the white'ish one, that went well with the Torta. I polished off my Torta, it was good, nothing special, but good. When I rate food trucks, I find myself basing my rating on whether I'd stalk them or not. I'm not sure I'd stalk this food truck, but if it was around and I was hungry, I might skip that taco and grab another Torta! read more

Some of the best birria my wife and I have ever had. So good, we always recommend new friends to this place.

Split the knockout burrito and 3 tacos at the San Jose Earthquakes game. BOMB.COM!! Meat is so full of flavor you are not missing anything on the tacos. The knockout burrito changed my life! I hope these guys come back to some games. Definitely will be dreaming about this food until I can have it again! Well done read more

Tasty quesadillas and very good salsa. Yes taco truck menu is not the same all the time but they are fast and nice. They need to add some horchata but salsas are really good. read more

The Steak Nachos and Nacho Fries are both great! I'm not big on spicy food, but if you are do try the Nacho Libre Fries, I hear you will be in tears after your first bite. The guys running the truck are all really nice. read more

Damn, these guys have THE best veggie tacos around. Plenty of people will put "veggie" stuff on their menu which just means they leave off some meat and charge you the same like a**holes. TaKoz Mod Mex has AMAZING grilled veggies that make the mouth water for everyone around me. I've gotten the same dish twice and I seek this truck out now. When people see my plate, they ooh and ahh and ask where I got it. Same goes for the veggie nacho fries, since a bunch of the same grilled veggies go on that - wow, what a crowd pleaser. read more

This truck comes to Stanford and I thought I would try it out. I ordered the carne asada burrito with a side of chips. The burrito is a good size and tasty but way too much salt, for someone with hypertension this truck is a bad idea and the meat was a little chewy (gristle). The side of chips I ordered was the bottom of the bag and was really just lots of crumbs. Next time I'm going back to Beckman Bistro for a burrito. I will say that the chipotle sauce is very good read more

The carne asada tacos were really good. Usually not a fan of asada but these were perfect

The cafeteria in our office building is temporarily closed, so my work scheduled gourmet food trucks to be here for breakfast and lunch during that time (thank you!). The lunch truck for today was TaKoz Mod Mex. Pros: The ingredients were very fresh, and they offer vegetarian and vegan options such as tacos, burritos, quesadillas, etc. Cons: The rice is made with chicken stock (so not vegetarian). The food is very spicy (I am VERY sensitive to spice, and they swore up and down that the vegetarian tacos that I ordered were not spicy...they were a four alarm fire!! The tacos were almost inedible to me). The tacos were supposed to be black beans and corn tacos with veggies, but really they were sauteed pepper tacos with 2-3 black beans and 2-3 corn kernals per taco, plus chopped cabbage and a mushroom or two. In addition, the food was on the pricey side (although the food on these gourmet food trucks tends to be expensive). My coworkers seemed to enjoy their meaty dishes, although several also commented on the food being very spicy...even the ones that enjoy hot food. I probably won't be eating from this truck again in the future. read more

Damn good paleo taco. Can't go wrong with Birria in a fried cheese shell. Holy crap that was good! Their birria fries were freaking bomb too! I appreciate that hermitage had them out today. It was a hot day but tacos and beer??? I'll handle 100 degrees for that. read more

I have to admit, I'm a food-truck snob. I wouldn't even classify this as street meat. The quality and taste far surpasses that category. You may spend a buck or two more than the smaller cart vendors in some areas, but the value is amazing. And its a ton of food. I have an affinity for torta's and being a connoisseur this brings it to a new level. I would drag my 1 month, 3 year old son and wifey to odd ends of the bay to try the plethora of the latest styles. THIS truck has it! YUUMMMYY! read more

On a particularly hectic day at work, I came by and picked up some food to go. It was so hectic that I didn't even get to eat my pastor quesadilla. So I had it the next day. A few moments in the oven and it was still pretty tasty. . Pastor was tender, nice sauces and cheesy tortilla goodness. Makes me wonder what it is fresh off the plancha? Will have to catch them again for a fresh perspective as it was still great a day late. read more

El Santo would be proud! A few weeks ago my amiga at work brought a Veggie Quesadilla and let me have a bite. Aye Dios Mijos! It was slammin. Could a quesadilla be so great? Si. I told my friend, when was this fabulous truck coming back to grace my taste buds with a 'veggie quesadilla'? She said on Thurs around noon it's on 10th Street near Needles (by comcast). Last week i check but i came late so not sure it it came or not. This week, we searched everywhere on the net trying to see if it was coming. She found the facebook site and it was there! We walked to it and I pointed out that they have a Chicken Buritto. That would be my opponent. They have ice cold Jarritos (score); sodas and Pelligrino Water (sadly, no beer). The chef's special for today was a Mole Chicken Taco. I got that and a Chicken Buritto to go half with my mom. The Mole Chicken Taco....ohmg. The mole is the kind that has that sweet, smoky, deliciousness to it. (My friends mom makes it with chocolate/nuts/bread I think it's similar but not sure). The Chicken Buritto was slammin! I kinda regret giving my mom the other half because it was that good. Next time I get the Chicken Burrito and they have Mole, I'm going to ask to have some on or inside the Burrito. It had rice, pinto beans, some kind of cabbage slaw. Very tasty, a little sweetness to it but complimented the moist chicken. The guys were very nice, welcoming and down to earth. Unlike other trucks that come to/near my work, the prices are set and won't change from 1 day to the next. read more

I saw Takoz at an elementary school around the neighborhood for an open house night and decided to walk over to see what it was all about. I love the look of the truck. I'm borderline obsessed with the movie Nacho Libre and it's idiotic comedy - so when I saw a lucha libre on the truck, I HAD to see what it was about. We got a chicken and a pork taco. They are definitely trying to do the whole "mod mex" thing. Chicken taco came with slaw and mandarin orange pieces (2 LITTLE HALF WEDGES) in the taco. The taste of the chicken was good, but not amazing. I love savory and sweet but I felt the oranges was blehh with the tacos - and they didnt even STAY on the taco. The pork came with pineapple (didn't taste/see it on the taco). I liked the chicken over the pork for sure. The sauces they had were pretty good. The salsa verde and the avocado lime mayo were my favorites. Overall, okay food. I guess I would try it again if it was at a location that I already was at. read more

First time trying this truck and the food ranged from "decent" to "traumatic". I ordered 3 tacos to get a sampling of their different meats - mahi mahi, pork, and beef. The mahi mahi was one of tonight's specials, so I went with that instead of the chicken. Of the 3, the mahi mahi was by far the best. Flavor was decent, fish was crispy and not overcooked. The pork was not what I was expecting. Usually, when I see pork as a taco option, I think carnitas. Not here. In this case, they use chunks/strips of pork in a heavy marinade that made the meat almost unidentifiable. It wasn't "bad", but not something I would order again. The real disappointment came with the beef. At least, I think it was beef. It was hard to tell, considering the amount of fat I had to pick through. I love food trucks; so obviously, I have no qualms about consuming mass amounts of fattening foods. However, there is a big difference between eating something fattening and just straight up eating fat. This would have fallen into the latter category. I actually ended up throwing it away. Being Asian, wasting food is on par with defiling an ancestor's grave. Or worse. Yes, it was only a $2 taco. But $2 for a beef fat taco is just wrong. Overall, I'd give the mahi mahi taco 3 stars, the pork 2 stars, and I'm going to try and forget that the beef fat taco even exists. read more

The food truck came to my work so I decided to give this a try for lunch. I had the Knockout Burrito based on the recommendations that I read here on Yelp. It was good with some good flavors in it. The fries and egg are a good touch and make the burrito pretty filling. Based on the reviews I added the Chipotle Sriracha sauce, and it was a very god decision as it enhanced the taste a lot. I did not find the burrito very spicy as others noted. Decent option for lunch of they are around. read more

They were at my job site today and the asada tacos were amazing. The only down fall is that they didn't have any change or lids for the salsa containers read more

We had the pleasure of trying their food at Tully Night Market tonight. We had the Burrito, the Ramen and the Taco, all made with birria. We also got a side of the consumée. Oh my goodness! Soooo good! I think I'm going to be a groupie now and follow them around San Jose! read more

The knockout burrito is what they must give to you when you pass the pearly gates and ascend into heaven. Best burrito I've had, period. Not a traditional burrito, so don't expect that. Expect an explosion of fusion flavors with a generous helping of fries and sauce. read more

5 stars for being vegan friendly! They were kind and accommodating, and didn't roll their eyes at my vegan request! They made me a vegan burrito and it was delicious. It had shitakes and sundried tomatoes in it. $9 is pretty expensive for a veggie burrito, but all of these specialty food trucks charge a lot. Note: their rice is not vegetarian (made with chicken broth) so skip the rice if you are choosing to avoid the animal products. Their salsa verde was especially good too. read more

Amazing! We had the great fortune of finding these guys on Yelp and hired the food truck to come to our house this past weekend for a party. Gabriel was very professional in coordinating the date and time. Our friends loved the food. I had the beef tacos at first and then had the burrito bowl. Both were fantastic...and i don't say that often regarding food. Everyone was commenting on how good the food was and how nice the folks in the truck were. I don't know what they are seasoning/marinating the food with but whatever they are doing, keep doing it! Look forward to having them come again. read more

You can't get anymore authentic than this truck! You gotta try the mahi mahi tacos!!! OmG... It's a must try but I haven't seen it in their lately. I guess the nacho fries is a good replacement! read more

Always great service!!! Good al pastor tacos and knockout burrito was bomb . The burrito had beef, chicken, pork, French fries, black beans, rice, and awesome spicy mango sauce was on point. I wouldn't have had the burrito til the gentleman gave it to me on the house. I'm coming back for it next week at the blossom hill vta station. Thank you!! read more

Pretty solid. Got the 3 takoz with two beef and one chicken. Also came with some tortilla chips on the side. They also had a few self serve salsas including a hot salsa and a hot mango, both of which were bomb. The beef tacos were on point but the chicken taco was a little bland. Would return but would definitely go for beef on all 3 tacos. read more

Seen this truck today while driving on 10th street. Looked interesting so, I decided to give it a try. Glad I did. I had the chicken torta and it was awesome. The meat was great and came in chunks along with melted cheese. That and a bottle of water was $8. Very reasonable. If I stumble across it again I'll definitely give another item on the menu a try. read more

TaKoz came to my apartment complex the other day for our weekly food rodeo, here's my experience. Very friendly gal took our order. I ordered the Street Dog and my bf ordered the pastor quesadilla. Both were $7. Street dog - bacon wrapped hot dog with some slaw-type toppings and yummy sauce. It was delicious. The bread was perfectly crispy (it wasn't your average hot dog bun but like actual bread), buttered to perfection, totally tipped the dog over the edge. Also wasn't just some crappy hot dog but a higher quality one, which is always appreciated. Pastor Quesadilla - also delicious. Perfect crispy tortilla, yummy melted cheese and meat, also topped with the cole slaw-type toppings and sauce. Super delicous. Next time I want to try the torta. Definitely would recommend TaKoz - plus, they take credit card which is always a nice benefit as well. read more

Takoz Mod Mex was at an event near our neighborhood so we dropped by and got dinner. I got the "special" of carne asada nachos fries ($9), and bf got an al pastor quesadilla ($8). Both were pretty good - the quesadilla came with a bit of mixed greens to help us feel less guilty about our gluttonous eating. Fries were good, they were generous with the cheese so there were absolutely no dry fries at the end. Carne asada was good, though maybe a tiny bit dry. Portions were bigger than expected, which is always nice from a food truck. Overall, pretty good food truck that I wouldn't mind having again. read more
