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.

They are open every day with the exception of Mondays, and they are located at 1411 The Alameda.
