California is arguably one of the best states to be in when you're looking for quality Mexican cuisine. Here in San Jose, CA, you'll be pleased with the number of choices you have. To help you know which Mexican restaurants are the most popular, we've created a list of our favorites, located right here in our own backyard. Mariscos Costa Alegre When you want to combine fresh seafood and with Mexican flare, this is your place. They have served the community with delicious, fresh cuisine since 2018. Start with the super nachos or the Camarones Michelada for the table. Then have the tacos classico with asada or birria, the Taco Gobernador, the fish quesadilla, the Camaron y Pulpo, the Aguachile Tricolor, the Pescado Frito, or the Bistec Brazero. If the little ones are tagging along, the venue has several options, like a cheese quesadilla, chicken nuggets, tacos, mac and cheese, fish and chips, mini-fried shrimp, and more. They are located at 855 N. 13th St. and they are open every day. LUNA Mexican Kitchen This restaurant specializes in farm-to-table, healthy dishes that contain no preservatives or additives. They take great pride in their cooking, which you'll notice right away. Start with a signature house-made margarita, a cold cerveza, or a shot of one of the many premium tequilas they offer. We then suggest an order of the tacos, such as veggie, lamb, beer-battered shrimp, Baja fish, bacon-wrapped shrimp, salmon, or carnitas. The bowls are also delicious. Try the chili lime chicken or the Omega 3 bowl. Vegetarians will love the garden burrito, the veggie burrito, the veggie grill parrilladas, or the enchiladas el vegan. LUNA can be found at 1495 The Alameda and they are open seven days a week. Please drink responsibly and in moderation, and do not drink and drive. Zona Rosa Though the setting of this venue is small and modest, the food is not. The chefs create large portions of authentic food that bursts with flavor and personality. A popular choice to start with is the sopa del dia or the sopa de tortilla. For your main dish, have the enchilada de pollo, the chimichurri taqueria, the salmon or camote tacos, the crab ceviche tostada, or the carne asada burrito.

San Jose, CA is a vibrant city with lots of exciting tourist attractions, but sometimes it's nice to leave the city and explore what the surrounding areas have to offer. Luckily, San Jose is close to many great tourist destinations. Here are three of our favorite places to visit. 1. Tour the Monterey Bay Aquarium Drive south from San Jose to California's scenic oceanfront and tour the Monterey Bay Aquarium, a world-renowned destination for tourists and locals alike. Located at 886 Cannery Row, the Monterey Bay Aquarium is surrounded by restaurants, shops, and (of course) the ocean. Since it opened in 1984, the Monterey Bay Aquarium brings the ocean to life with its 200+ exhibits featuring 80,000 plants and animals. The aquarium's largest attraction is the Open Sea exhibit, featuring tuna, stingrays, and sea turtles that swim past a 90-foot window. If you are mesmerized by the Open Sea exhibit, be sure to check out the Kelp Forest—a 28-foot tall habitat with schools of fish, crabs, wolf-eels, and octopi. 2. Visit the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk If you want to take advantage of California's famous weather and beaches, pack your beach gear into your Ford F-150  and head south to the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk. Located at 400 Beach Street, the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk has been in operation since 1907 and has more than 40 rides and attractions, including the 1924 Giant Dipper wooden roller coaster and the ring-toss Loof Carousel—both of which are designated as National Historic Landmarks. For those who prefer to keep their adrenaline rush with their feet on the ground, the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk has indoor arcades with the largest selection of games in Northern California. From food vendors serving up classic boardwalk fares, like corn dogs and cotton candy, to summer concerts and fireworks, the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk is a quintessential California experience. 3. Walk the Trails in Calistoga's Petrified Forest Go back in time and discover trees that are millions of years old in the Petrified Forest. Located at 4100 Petrified Forest Road in Calistoga, the Petrified Forest was created when the now-extinct volcano Mt. St. Helena exploded around 3.4 million years ago and buried the redwood trees. There are two trails in the Petrified Forest. The Main Trail is a half-mile loop with exhibits on the petrification process and the discovery of the forest in the 1800s. The Meadow Trail is an evenly graded winding path that is a half-mile long, so you'll need to be able to walk at least one mile (out and back). At the end of this trail, Mt. St. Helena is visible in the distance. On your way home, be sure to stop by Mission Valley Ford Trucks and check out our inventory of new models today!

Owning a truck requires a good chunk of change upfront. And most people don't have the funds available to pay for the car in full, so car financing at a Ford dealer is the best option. You get the vehicle you want with competitive rates and terms that are tailored to your budget. 1. Convenient Application Process Financing through a dealer is typically quick and easy. The entire process can be completed within a few minutes, and you don't have to jump through hoops to get approved. You simply provide your information, the dealer reviews your credit report, and then you are offered a loan with terms you get to agree upon. With banks, you have to go through a lengthy application process which can take days or weeks. And even then, there's no guarantee that you'll be approved for the loan. You also have zero control over the terms and interest rates that you get. 2. Competitive Interest Rates You will likely get competitive rates on your loan when you finance through a dealership. The dealer typically has access to multiple lenders so that they can find the best rate for your situation. Even if you have bad credit, you can get better terms than what you would find at a bank. However, it is important to note that your credit score plays a huge role in the interest rate you get. The higher your score, the lower your rate will be. You also want to put down a sizeable down payment, as this will also help lower your monthly payments. 3. Incentives and Benefits Most dealers offer incentives and benefits to their customers. These can include rebates, extended warranties, and more. You may also get discounts on parts and service for your Ford truck if you finance through the dealership. Plus, you can trade in your current vehicle for a new one when you finance through a dealership. This can help lower the amount that you owe on your loan. 4. Choosing a Ford Dealer Means Peace of Mind Financing through a dealership provides you with peace of mind. You know that a reputable lender backs the loan and that your personal information is safe. The dealer also stands behind their product and will help you with any issues with your truck. For example, if something goes wrong with your Ford truck and you can't afford the repairs, they may be able to help. The dealership will have a vested interest in seeing that your vehicle is kept in good condition and that you are taken care of. Overall, there are many benefits to financing through a dealership for your Ford truck purchase. You get competitive interest rates and terms, as well as incentives and discounts that you wouldn't get elsewhere. Contact Mission Valley Ford today to start financing your dream truck. We are here to help you every step of the way.
