4.0
I recently visited Teaqueria in San Jose for the first time and was thoroughly impressed by both the food and the overall experience. The vibrant, fresh presentation of the dishes immediately caught my eye, and the flavors delivered just as much as the visuals promised.Nachos with Al PastorThe nachos were a standout, generously topped with tender and juicy al pastor. The meat was perfectly seasoned, offering rich, savory flavors that paired beautifully with the creamy guacamole, tangy pico de gallo, and a drizzle of sour cream. The portion was hearty and ideal for sharing, but honestly, you might want to keep them all to yourself!Al Pastor BurritoThe al pastor burrito was equally delicious, packed with flavorful rice and succulent pieces of al pastor. The burrito was well-balanced, with each bite delivering a satisfying mix of textures and tastes. The accompanying salsas added a nice kick, letting you adjust the spice to your liking. The burrito was served warm and fresh, making it a comforting and filling meal.Overall ExperienceTeaqueria’s attention to detail and quality ingredients shine through in every bite. Whether you’re craving loaded nachos or a classic burrito, this spot delivers on both flavor and portion size. Highly recommended for anyone seeking authentic and satisfying Mexican fare in San Jose. - Rickey Goins
