I went in about 30 minutes before closing. Ordered an asada burrito, they made the meat to order. Great burrito for a quick last minute grab. They were in the middle of cleaning so they seats were up so this was a Togo meal. read more

Staff are amazing and extremely kind. Parking could be limited dependent on the time you come, leave your powered cars at home. Carne asada burrito: 3.5/5, honestly the meat did not taste like it was seasoned at all. Al pastor tacos: 4/5, small but packs a punch, overall very tasty. Jamaica: 3/5, tasted like it came out of a box or premade read more

Food was pretty good. I had chicken enchiladas with green sauce. It was juicy and flavorful. Service was good and quick. Small simple little restaurant. Will definitely be there again. read more

Taqueria Eduardo - Chicken enchiladas with green sauce - Mexican Near Me - San Jose, California

Excellent excellent excellent , the burrito scene in San Jose has fallen off at many taquerias regarding quality and standard to the meat / salsas / and overall put out . Eduardo's has not. They have remained loyal to the point that customer service and the joy of the associates only just start as a tipping point of a superb food experience . The food is well executed authentic Mexican food with a full services salsa bar that includes aguacate salsa , tomatillo / verde , red molcajete chunk salsa , and a mellow habanero orange , pepper , onions and carrots and additional condiments all available and again I really can't push how welcoming and inviting all the staff are , location isn't bad at all for accessibility with the restaurant lot and adjacent street having ample parking + space to pull up and take out or eat-in/drive-in. Again San Jose taquerias in my opinion change rankings every 3-6 months ( And not ideal to go to some of the hidden gems in the east bay like Hayward or Stockton all the time )due to economy bubble and quality standards not being up-kept ,but this place ; the food makes a straight up memorable experience. Money is well spent here and my stomach agrees . The bread on the tortas is A1. There an al pastor down the street but it proves no competition not even if it had a head start figuratively . If you want a handheld item come here , call ahead and support this business fr wait for me was only 11 min. You will be satisfied . Good size dining room , I took it to-go but eating in seemed quaint . Thank you again making the trip worth it . Food stands out so well that it doesn't need this long winded review but it deserves the commemorative words. read more

Have come here multiple times - good portion, value, and flavor. Cashiers also friendly!

One of my favorite taco places I go to regularly!! Service is wonderful! Anytime i meet new people and they ask where we should go I always recommend this place! read more

I give them a 3.5 rounded up to a 4. Another customer in line volunteered the information that the tacos here are great, so I am passing it along for what it's worth. However, my husband and I weren't in the mood for tacos. I got the chili rellenos plate & he got the chili verde plate; both came with hot corn tortillas. I realized that 2 chili rellenos is just too much of one thing; I wish they offered combo plates, but they do not. My husband said the chili verde was not bad, but the sauce was a bit watery. Both plates came with rice & beans, but I'm disappointed mine did not come with tomato & avocado like his did. I definately ordered the wrong thing. read more

OK, I think my first visit was a fluke. We've been here oodles more times, I've gotten the al pastor super burrito a few more times, and it's not been either too greasy or not distributed evenly since. There's really no ambiance or service (it's counter service) to speak of, but it's turned into our go-to mexican spot. Love the food here! read more

Got food poisoning from the steak super quilsedilla DO NOT GO HERE!!! Unless you want bubble guts

It was a general Mexican place. The carne asada felt more like ground beef though. Overall the California burrito was okay, it didn't quite hit the craving. There's space to eat and they make your food fresh and pretty quickly. read more

Ambiance was ok, customer service was cool. I had carne asada for my crispy tacos and they were good. The rice and beans were not the greatest and the prices were kinda high. The salsa bar was cool. I wouldn't come back due to the price and lack of authenticity in flavors. read more

I was at Valley Fair and Taco Mania got me craving tacos. Found this place nearby, outside the mall. They have their own lot, but it's a bit small and kind of tricky to get out of. Got the 3 crispy tacos with carnitas. They don't let you pick different meats for the tacos. Food came.out quick, less than 10 minutes. They have a salsa bar so you can help yourself. I asked which one was medium heat, the cashier said the green one. Tacos were pretty good. I can't tell if the taco shell was bought or made ahead of time. I had expected them to be greasy, but they weren't. The carnitas had good flavor. Some of the pieces were dry, but it was still tasty. The green sauce had just the right amount of heat for me. I'll come back and try some more stuff! read more

Taqueria Eduardo - 3 crispy tacos with carnitas - Mexican Near Me - San Jose, California

Service: awesome. Nice, friendly and easy to order from. Food: burritos are large and in charge. Delicious. Also got 3 crispy tacos that hit the spot. Ambiance: clean and simple. Conclusion: definitely a place worth going back to on a weekly basis. I'd probably be there daily if I lived right next to it. read more

I've been a big fan of Taqueria Eduardo for years--especially the original location off Winchester. Their burritos? Top-tier. So I was excited (and very hungry) when I stopped by this location expecting the same quality and experience. All I wanted was something simple: a large container of whole beans (boiled, not refried) and the meat from three shredded chicken tacos--no tortillas, nothing fancy. The total? $28.94. I politely told the woman at the counter, "I want to give you my money, but this feels like a rip-off." She was kind and tried to call her manager, but unfortunately couldn't make an executive decision. I even suggested she just ring it up like the weekend Menudo (which costs less than $20 and takes way more work to make), but no luck. Even stranger, she couldn't just put the beans and chicken together in one Menudo bowl. Instead, I was handed two separate containers, and had to play DIY Taqueria Chef in my car. Not sure why that was--maybe it's a new build-your-own-bowl concept? ‍ Sadly, it just wasn't worth it. The beans were bland, the chicken was meh, and for nearly $30, the whole thing felt off. I really hate to leave a bad review, especially when I've had great memories at their other location, but this visit left a bad taste in my mouth--and not just from the food. Here's hoping they reconsider the pricing, portioning, and flexibility. I'd love to return under better circumstances. read more

Very good taco shop. Good value for the price. Friendly service. I had al pastor super taco for 5 bucks. Free salsa.

Taqueria Eduardo - Asada super quesadilla plus red sauce and orange sauce. I thought it was mediocre. - Mexican Near Me - San Jose, California

My bf and I usually just go here to grab a side of beans & rice and some of their salsas to complement dinners that we make at home. It's a great value for that and their salsa bar is quite tasty. Recently we came for dinner because I was craving a taco salad and my usual Mexican spot doesn't have them. This is a casual taqueria, better for takeout than dining in. Service is good. This recent time half of the menu screens were broken, luckily we knew what we wanted already. This was an enormous al pastor taco salad, enough for 2 very large meals or 3 average sized meals. I was happy with the ratio of ingredients and the flavors were great. My only complaint is that a lot of the pastor meat was burnt/black. I would come back and order a different protein next time, and will definitely continue ordering their beans and rice to add to my own dinners. read more

I just realized my prior review was intended for the downtown location. I was done with the mall and decided to swing by here. I ordered a handful of tacos. They give you a good amount of meat for that price. The al pastor was really good. I liked the amount of spices and seasoning. Carne asada was solid. I had a triaps taco at the restaurant and thought it was excellent. Tripas were crispy but not fried until they were hard. I had bite of another tripas taco at home, but it had some bitterness like it was almost burnt. Maybe I didn't notice it earlier because I was hungry. This reminds me of the ones I had at the downtown location. I'm going to try them again and make a final verdict on the tripas. read more

Finally tried this authentic taco staple in the Burbank neighborhood! We went on a Sunday at noon after swim class down the street and found parking on site. There were a few tables outside under patio umbrellas. It isn't a fancy place and can use some updates but itself definitely authentic. Each regular taco is now $2.99 but that's the bay area for you. I ordered the taco plate which was $6.99 and had one taco plus beans and rice. The plate was huge and had about a cup each of Mexican rice and semi mashed refried pinto beans. I ate the taco de cabeza (head) which was delicious. My son ate some of the rice and beans. My husband had the chicken super burrito and was only able to eat half because it looked like it weighed 3 lbs. The service was limited at that time so some tables were not clean. Otherwise, large menu including breakfast. read more

Taco Tuesday, let's do this! Now, where to go? Well it seems I live in the epicenter of Eduardo. Yes, there are three Taqueria Eduardo locations nearly equidistant from me. I picked the one on Bascom today because I hadn't tried it yet. The Taqueria Eduardo on Bascom is a convenient spot on a major thoroughfare, with abundant parking in front, on both sides and in the back. Walking inside, the dining area is adequate, with several tables for dining in, but I was doing the grab and go this time so I only spent a few minutes in the clean, bright space, watching cars and an odd, shirtless fellow whiz by while I waited for my victuals. The counter staff took my order, payment and handed over the goods with a warm smile. That's always a plus. Today I ordered: 3 Crunchy Tacos ($9.99+tax) - you get your choice of meat in a freshly fried crunchy shell which includes beans, lettuce, cheese and pico. Some folks like beans on their tacos, while some say, "that a'in't a taco, bro." I'm dealer's choice on the topic. It's your house, give them to me how you like, but in this case the beans went well with the chicken I selected as my other protein. The chicken was moist and flavorful, with a marinade which contained some lime, making the flavor pop. The red salsa is a nice condiment to add, bringing some additional brightness. The only problem with three tacos is how to divide them between two peoples, unless one of them is cuter than you, then she gets two. 4/5 stars Meat and Cheese Quesadilla ($7.50+tax) - as billed this quesadilla only contains meat and cheese, but there was extra lettuce with the taco plate and some salsa, so I doctored it up. For meat, I selected carne asada. Eduardo's take is very juicy and savory. They hack it into smaller bits than some places and this may give it more flavor, I don't know, but it's very good. Maybe it would be nice if they cut the quesadilla, but we managed. 4/5 stars Taqueria Eduardo delivers the standard West Coast Taqueria fare. The pricing is not budget, but I feel like the value is there for the quality and portion size. There are plenty of good taco joints around and this is not come from far and wide great, but it's very good if you have one near you, a solid four-star spot. read more

I ordered takeout, but when I got home, I realized that one of my Super Burritos was missing. I called the restaurant, and they admitted they forgot it--without offering any real apology. I had to drive all the way back to pick it up, only to receive a noticeably smaller burrito, which felt like an intentional slight. Extremely disappointing experience. I will not be returning read more

The tacos and the burritos are really good, and they always hit the spot for me. I really recommend trying out the tripa tacos because I enjoy how the meat has that crunchy and juicy texture to it that I can't seem to find at other taco joints. I'd also recommend their Cali Burrito if you're looking for something that'll really fill you up. I always find myself feeling pretty satisfied with their food, and I have no doubt that their other menu items are also satisfactory. Unfortunately, the location and environment are the only reasons why this rating is not higher. First of all, I was encumbered by a homeless person inside the establishment repeatedly asking me for money and booze when I was trying to enjoy my tacos during my most recent visit. I ignored him and he eventually moved to pestering a neighboring family enjoying lunch with the same request for money and booze. I honestly felt pretty uncomfortable during the entire interaction because I didn't know what he'd do if I refused his request. I'd definitely would've bought the guy a taco or a burrito if he asked, but that wasn't what he wanted and the fact that he was asking for alcohol crosses a boundary for my generosity. I'm pretty disappointed on how the staff chose to handle the situation; all the cashier did was watch warily on as this guy bothered their patrons. I will concur that the restaurant could've been short-staffed and had to prioritize getting orders out, but I feel like they should've been on top of things to maintain a more pleasant dining environment. Secondly, when I went to use the bathroom, I saw used needles in the trash bin. I don't know about you, but I'd prefer my eating establishments to be free of drug paraphernalia, especially in their bathroom. Granted, the needles were in the trash bin and weren't strewn haphazardly throughout the floor, and the bathroom did seem to be well taken care of and maintained. Regardless, the fact that I saw used needles in the trash bin was a pretty unpleasant thing to witness. I have to say that my most recent visit to the Bascom branch of Eduardo's Taqueria was pretty disappointing. If you choose visit this place, I'd highly recommend ordering your food to-go instead of dining in; otherwise, visit the other Eduardo's branches that are nearby. read more

This is our go to place for crunchy tacos. The restaurant, and restrooms, are clean, and that is always important. The cashier recognizes us because we go there often. We are always happy with our order and always look forward to going back. read more

Taqueria Eduardo is the closest authentic taqueria on this side of (white wash) town, which I can appreciate. I like this location better than the one located in Campbell. Taco's here never disappoint. I've tried most of them. To me, the carnitas taco is the winner. I would classify these as 3.5 bite tacos, which is pretty good size and value. My only grip here. The salsas are kind flat. None of their salsas have any kick. There aren't any bottled salsa's either. I would also to see some fresh or pickled jalapenos and carrots. Happy to pay more for them - if there was such an option. Taqueria Eduardo's is definitely my good to on this side of town. read more

Can we say yum? I have come back a couple times. The first time I went I had the taco lunch. I cant handle heat, but it was soooo good I gobbled it all down with their house salsa. The second tike I went I got a super chicken burrito but they forgot the guacamole. I love their house salsa. It was very very flavorful. I got my daughter a bean rice and cheese burrito and for some reason it didn't sit well with her. read more

A few weeks ago some friends introduced me to Eduardo's, and I've been hooked ever since! I'm craving their tacos now just from writing this review. Pros: 1) The carnitas and al pastor tacos are AMAZING. 2) I'm typically not a big fan of Mexican rice or pinto beans, but they're packed with flavor and I order them here every time. Cons: 1) The fish tacos aren't very good. They come with small pieces of overly fried fish that get soggy pretty quickly. I'll also note that the service is pretty fast and straight to the point. And just a friendly warning- a little goes a long way with the sauces because they're SPICY- at least for me. Overall this is a really solid taco spot that I would definitely recommend it to friends. I can't wait to come back! read more

While the food is good, it's gotten more and more expensive for how much you get. Before today, I was willing to pay the cost because the quality is *Usually* pretty good, but you really need to watch your receipts, especially when paying with card. I've been here twice within the past 10 days, ordered the same thing (burrito and a jamaica), and was charged two seperate amounts ($14.76 and $17.88). I would've been ok giving a tip had I been given the option when paying, however the young man behind the counter just mashed a bunch of buttons and didn't give me a receipt with my card/order. Overall the food is usually really good, but you might be paying for more than your order. Can't say if I'll be back myself read more

I love this place. + fast + great service + offers patio seating + plethora of items offered on their menu + clean outdoor patio area Only con is you can't tip on the card. If you want to tip bring cash. I've been here twice and enjoyed everything I ordered including Gavin. I don't think chips/salsa come w/ your orders so if you want it, order it. The Diet Coke did taste weird so I ordered a bottled water from them my 2nd time around. read more

Long time staple of the neighborhood. Their California burrito is amazing and is much better than other local taquerias! Their burritos are huge, tasted great and left me feeling very full! The restaurant is clean and I would consider eating at their dining area in the future. They also have a shaded outside patio with tables and chairs. The staff is very friendly and displayed excellent service. 10/10 experience. I will be back & I highly recommend that you try their delicious food! read more
