For the past 20 years, Tacos Al Pastor on 400 S. Bascom Ave. has been a part of San Jose's history. It was sold to the most recent owners in 2003. The 1629 Meridian Ave. location opened in 2006 and ma…
It's been awhile since I've been here but this has always been my go to spot for good Mexican food. For some time they were really messing up on their orders and either missing something important or that flavor was way off.
Tacos Al Pastor is the place I normally go to for their Chili Verde and my niece was over tonight and asked if I knew of a place that made great Chili Verde that wasn't too spicy. I ordered her the kid's meal with a chili verde mini burrito which came with rice and beans and a can of soda all for $9.50!!
That is a great price considering everything else going up in price faster that it takes you to take a deep breath. She ate everything and said that she never tasted chili verde like she just had.
We also got a BOGO carnitas taco that was overloaded with meat plus chicken flautas. I must say, looks like Tacos Al Pastor is back in the saddle again, so to speak.
I'm really glad I gave them a chance tonight because everyone that ate tonight were extremely happy with what they ate and very pleased with the quantity, the quality and the pricing. You just can't go wrong.
Thank you for the great food Tacos Al Pastor, keep it coming!!

I love their taco salads! They are so fresh in all of their ingredients and you get your choice of meat. The meats they have taste great so you can have a healthy meal different every day. Highly recommend this restaurant. They have been around forever and they never fail in meeting up to high standards.

We were disappointed with the Super Burrito and Bean cheese & rice burrito (BRC) tonight. They both lacked flavor and the super burrito was mostly rice. Not up to the typical standards for this taqueria
