Description:
Taqueria San Jose has a certain charm to it. Is it the festive and large dining area? Is it the free chips and salsa bar? Is it the random live music serenade? Is it the hugely enormous burrito? I'd go with yes, yes, yes and yes. This is just about the best burrito experience you can get. A totally local, authentic, satisfying, Fruitvale burrito experience.
The burrito itself checked off all the must haves in a Mission style burrito (except maybe the skimpy guacamole portion). The tortilla was great, beans were awesome, rice was meh (these taquerias better start stepping up their rice game), crema was plentiful, salsa bar was nice and this burrito was cheeeeesy. The carne asada was perhaps a bit under flavored, but made up for that with a natural steak-ey flavor that you don't often get in a burrito. I know this is a mainly carne asada blog and it may be unfair to also rate the al pastor that I had. But dang that pastor was so good, it definitely raised the meat rating a bit.
The only real downsides to the burrito were the flavorless rice and the tiny speck of guacamole that I found halfway through eating. Overall, you definitely can't go wrong with an amazing bang for your buck, cool spot and quality burrito. Oh yeah and did I mention how big the burrito was?
