One word....Authentic!!!  Coming from a guy who was raised in Texas. that says a lot.  Taqueria is a little hole-in-the-wall Mexican food joint.  It is in an old Pizza Hut building near the corner of Lynnhaven Pkwy and Holland Rd.  It's not much to look at, but give it a try and you will be pleased.  Like any Mexican restaurant, they start you with their chips and salsa (and the salsa is great, the spice won't kill you, but it's got great flavor).  Their menu offers a large selection of good eats.  Your typical burritos, tacos, enchiladas and chimichangas are found, but then it gets fun.  The "Cancun Burrito" is my choice (large burrito stuffed with chicken, rice, beans and mushrooms topped with a white cheese sauce).  Mike Sr likes to get a soup called "7 Mares"; it's a seafood soup with every edible sea life you can thing of and then some.  They offer fajitas and various "verde" dishes (their verde sauce is one of the best around).  What I really like is that they have menu items for you if you are in that adventurous mood. Their "San Jose Specials" are four tacos of different types of meat not normally found (beef tongue, goat, beef cheek, etc..).  I was really impressed when one night we found "Menudo" on the daily specials.  So if you're in the mood for some REAL Mexican food, hit up Taqueria San Jose. You will most definitely make it a regular favorite.
