Exciting Restaurants to Try in San Jose 2025 | Eater

"Juicy carnitas in family-size portions are the calling card at this Mexican restaurant. Tucked between Monterey Road and Highway 101 on San Jose’s eastside, the restaurant’s streamlined style (dare we say “bare”?) dishes up huevos rancheros at breakfast and plates of birria and chile verde for lunch and dinner, but fans flock for taco de chicharron and caldo de res all week. Menudo, as ever, is only for weekends." - Christina Marie Mueller
