Compact counter-serve Mexican joint serving tacos & burritos with drinks in a low-key space.

Fantastic chips! They do the denser style chips that I feel like no one gets right. At most places this style chip comes out hard but here they nailed it! They’re light and crispy with lots of flavor.
Carne asada was quite good, and we really enjoyed their green and red salsa.

Love going here for dinner. The fish tacos are especially delicious! Their salsa has a kick to it but it always tastes fresh. Food is fairly priced and made quickly. I recommend Taqueria Lorenas to all my friends!

Old school taqueria on the seating side, clean and modern on the front order and food prep side. Tastiest Mexican fair you will find anywhere. Great value on top of very tasty food. Extremely friendly service. Order comes out hot and in good time. They keep the place very clean, but it is on the older side inside. But very cozy. Actually like to get my food in eat it there on site. I feel very comfortable with all the different types of customers that come in. It really is a friendly neighborhood place and I’ve observed families with kids every time I’m there. No problems with parking in the back or on the side street. My new favorite place. Highly recommend the grilled fish tacos grande, and the same for the shrimp grande tacos. So much flavor in every bite, at great prices. Be sure to add a grilled jalapeno to your order. They also have a great side of fries that come out crispy and tasty. I’ll be adding pictures for my next visit soon!

First I’m an out of towner who works in San Jose during the week. My go which I will not promote because I’m not here to Bash was unfortunately closed so I looked for 30 min for a place to eat and came upon this place. Orders 2 pastor tacos which I feel lacked that pastor flavor it was just seasoned pork. Then I ordered a torata chicken. The chicken was shredded not grilled which for me a taqueria should have grilled chicken. The salsa had a bitter taste to it not sure if it was the chili peppers they used but overall not my style. The reason for 3 stars is because it decent but not a place I would comeback to.

The menu is sort of confusing because there is the original burrito (only the veg version comes with avocado, sour cream, and lettuce) and the regular burrito but no listing for a super burrito with all the fixins. They told me it wasn’t on the menu but they sell it. In the end, I got the chimichanga which came with a great, refreshing green sauce.
Also tried the ahogado. Now, I don’t love wet burritos so I don’t eat them often but a more experienced taster told me that it came with the good cheese.
The tacos came with a good amount of meat. I didn’t love the cabeza and the carne asada. I think the meats are a hit or miss for me.
No free chips or salsa bar. I have never found parking except on the side streets every time I went.

This Taco Spot is Amazing!
The customer service was outstanding, and the location was super clean.
But the star of this place are the Tacos!!
I tried Taco de Asada, Alpastor, Camaron, and Chorizo. Everything was delicious. I also tried the “Grande” Taco de Asada, which has beans and cheese, and it was

What a low key and hidden place! Definitely slept on in the area!! I ordered 2 Asada, 1 Barbaca, and 1 Carnitas taco. The asada were super tasty, and with a tad of lime juice, they didn’t miss!! The carnitas also were not dry, and was the perfect amount of food! The Barbaca they me for a loop, I’m not used to the “carne guisada” style, of dish. It was flavorful and reminded me of a mole style dish. But I tried it, it wasn’t my favorite but if you are looking for a low key place! This is it!

I highly recommend Taqueria Lorena’s! They’re fast, friendly, and serve great quality food. I had a chicken burrito for lunch, and it was delicious and satisfying. Perfect for a quick, on-the-go meal—I’ll definitely be back!

Food and service was great and fast! I got the El Pastor plate & it was cheap in comparison to other Bay Area food! So delicious as well! Lastly, the staff was so nice and welcoming. Will be coming back!

Great Mexican food right off the freeway on Old Oakland Road. Love the burritos here as well as the tacos. Favorite is the carne asada burrito with all the extras (sour cream, avocado and cheese). Plenty of parking in the parking lot.
