Looked promising, but really missed for us. We came in for lunch and tried the papa relleno, burrito bowl and some chips and guacamole. The chips were stale, everything was stuck to aluminum foil on the papa relleno and the food just lacked flavor. The best thing was the melon agua Fresca. That I would get again. Too many choices around for this to be a go back.

Its hard for me to give anything 5 stars, but if Google allowed it I would give Taqueria Parranga 4.5 stars for sure. Santana Row is an uppity area in San Jose, but they have great shopping so recently when we were in town for thr NWSL Championship we stopped in. Taqueria Parranga was a breath of fresh air amoung stuffy higher end places when you just want a drink and a quick bite to eat.
The reaturant is absolutely freaking adorable . The staff was extremely friendly and the chicken and steak was extremely fresh.
I have almost no complaints whatsoever and would for sure come again.

Good Mexican food isn’t and doesn’t need to be fancy. Taqueria Parranga nails it. No fluff, no frills, just great food. We ordered the burrito con pollo and it did not disappoint. Full of ingredients and flavor, it was the perfect lunch. HIGHLY recommend sitting at the restaurant because they have a carrier of all the sauces you could want to add during your meal (you’re definitely missing out on this if you take-away).
Can’t wait to make this a regular spot.

Solid tacos, flavorful sauces, and legit Mexico City vibes. Parranga brings street food swagger to Santana Row, with a slightly upscale price tag. Still, a welcome (and tasty) addition to the scene. Would come back for the salsas alone.

What a wonderful experience! The tacos were delicious, I tried the Pastor and Carne Asada, and the beans, which were fantastic! If you love tacos, great service and cute atmosphere then you have to check this place out! 10/10!

The tacos are good and the sauces make it amazing. I’m a fan of the pina y Serrano. We had the lengua and carna asada, and pastor and it was tasty.
Tacos were 5.25 each and there’s no option for tip

Authentic tacos! Had the carne asada, al pastor, and quesadilla. Tastes like Mexico, and the salsas are spicy, just as they should be! Tortillas are home made and fresh. The pastor is generously packed with pineapple and meat. If you need a place to go after a night out on the row this is the spot.

Bad food and service. Guacamole is not fresh. Container Guacamole. Too expensive and waited toooo long for 6 tacos. They put the 2 order in one plate. We were 2 person and when I said we order separately, he seems mad and delivered one plate and said, you can split then. I won’t go back.

I love this place. Where it shines is the handmade tortilla, and the variety of salsa’s!! The ingredients seem to be of high quality. Delicious ! The people running the restaurant are very kind and hospitable. I do love their flan as well, it is perfect and the best Mexican flan I’ve tried thus far!
