This is exactly what I was looking for. I’m from Connecticut and we don’t have places like this. Everything about El Grullo Restaurant was great. The woman who served us was kind and friendly. The restaurant was clean and airy. The service was super quick and the food was amazing. I had a burrito and I’m not entirely sure what was in it. I asked her for the best one and she brought me the one she likes. The flavors in it were perfect. The sauce she said was hot had a great flavor and I didn’t find it to be terribly spicy. I would go back often if I could.

For context I am not Latina and am no authority on Latin culture or food however I have been coming here for near 30 years for Burritos and Taco’s and can only speak to those items but will say the varieties of meat and seafood dishes are amazing.
So I always order the super burrito with everything and pastor and my wife orders the super and regular tacos and we order fries on the side.
They always serve house made nachos and salsa while you wait for your order and let me tell you this very simple nacho and salsa is phenomenal. No one makes a better house salsa and having cut and deep fried tacos for nacho chips is the best. There’s no substitute. They also serve ice cold water while you wait for your food.
Now the food. All the ingredients are fresh and generous yet the ratio of ingredients is done to perfection and done so consistently every time we come no matter what day or time. They are generous with their meat the avocados (a whole avocado) and they don’t overwhelm you with rice and beans. The other ingredients like onions and greens complement each dish beautifully.
The meats are not oily and don’t flood your hands and mouth when you eat. The house sauce is delicious and each table has seasonings and other common sauces if preferred. Each table also has napkins that are never empty.
The service is exceptional and in Spanish yet they know enough English to complete an order. With me they already know what I want so all is well.
Come here for freshly prepared and clean food. Always delicious and never any after taste issues due clean ingredients. The oil they use is always fresh and never old.
This place always satisfies and brings me joy for almost 30 years.
One last thing. The restroom is always clean, could use an update but absolutely functional.

We always get great service which is why we come back. The coffee is always fresh and Liquados on point! The food is hot and tortillas all hand made. Staff is really friendly.
My caldo de res was delicious

Stopped by for a late night dinner to go. The carne asada burrito was flavorful and you can taste the big chunks of avocado in their guacamole! Great service and gave us sauces and lime without having to ask. They have slot machines which were interesting lol

A hole in the wall spot for seafood. Both myself and dad get shrimp here. Camarones a la diabla if you like them spicy. Hand made tortillas make this place a lock.

Tacos and quesadillas are actually really good and their red salsa is great. I usually don’t like red salsa but theirs is my favorite. I use to go here everyday when I worked near by. Probably my favorite Mexican spot in san jose. I haven’t found anyone better.

Dry taco meat still tasted bloody and gamey plus served old pepper, why not grill fresh? Also the rice was really dry and tortilla was greasy and hard. Would not have again. Left the tacos just ate rice. Must buy drink after drink no fountain drinks so no refill.
