El Halal Amigos in San Jose is hands-down one of my halal favorite spots! The chicken and beef tacos are always fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked, you can really taste the quality in every bite. The ambience is warm and inviting, making it a great place to sit down and enjoy your meal. It’s also in a nice, convenient location, though parking can sometimes be a little tricky to find during peak hours. Overall, it’s absolutely worth it, highly recommended!

This place is unbeatable for $2 Taco Tuesday. the quality, quantity, taste etc. it’s so good! This has become a weekly staple for my friends and I. Thank you to Chef Hisham and the crew for the good vibes and great food!

We travelled quite a distance to come and try a genuine halal Mexican menu and it was worth every mile!! The food was scrumptious and the owner couldn’t have been friendlier and more accommodating… wish you weren’t the opposite side of the world to us otherwise this would be a regular for our family!!

Great food. Delicious flavors. Had a burrito that was very yummy, wife had a bowl which was even better. Crazy busy when we came in but worth any wait. Cool staff, very friendly and helpful with the menu. 6/18/22 Just an update. Went here for dinner again. Oh my God! Try the nachos. You must have someone order the nachos. Amazing. Pic is included wife stopped talking to me when they arrived and just ate. She went with Barbacoa and it was delicious to the end. Nice job this place is definitely on my fav spots to hit up while in San Jose. And yes there are plenty of Taquria's to choose from but give this place a chance or don't the lines are already long enough 😉 6/4/23 Brought my parents here. Ordered the nachos, of course, first thing devoured in a few short minutes. Delicious Burrito bowl, 2 orders of the Sunday special Quesabirria. Very good, lots of flavor, grease, cheese. But if you're not down with grease, stay away. We all looked like Elephant Seals sun bathing after eating. Oh well, it's worth it. Whenever I walk in & see tables with Nachos, I feel I had a little part in it, like .002%. Love the food and Willow Glenn Neighborhood. If you haven't been then it's time to give it a try!!! 8/9/25 They have expanded the menu. Try some new things or keep to the Originals.

Tried their ribs and they were fantastic! Very well made, very tender and flavorful! I would recommend them easily! Update: also tried their quesadilla and it was also very good but the ribs are the still star of the show. 10/10 would recommend this place every time.

I came across this amazing Halal Mexican restaurant called El Halal Amigos, and I asked to see if everything was Halal and the owner came out to see me and personally guarantee that everything is 100% Halal!!! The staff and the owner Hisham were very kind people and very welcoming. I ended up going with the Burrito, which was recommended by Hisham, and I promise you guys it probably was one of my Best Burrito I've ever had. I won't lie it was a bit spicy but everything else was right on point. I recommend it to many of my other Mexican friends who live in the area and they're also going to go check it out because it's probably one of the best restaurant Halal I been to in San Francisco and San Jose. Thank You Hisham and I will definitely be coming back next time I'm in town

We've been wanting to trying this place for awhile now. The service was pretty quick abd the staff is nice. We got the tacos platos (barbacoa, pollo, and carne asada), enchiladas (rojas, carne asada) and a kids quesadilla with the strawberry dragonfruit agua fresca. It was all really tasty! We ate outside with friends, and they have cute, shaded outdoor seating that's dog friendly. One of our friends doesn't like cilantro which is topped on the rice and lettuce on the enchiladas. So if you don't like cilantro, request it without during your order. My friends also thought the food was good. It's a bit pricey, but it is halal and we are in downtown Willow Glen. We would come again.

El Halal Amigos is a gem! We were greeted with warmth and hospitality. The ambiance is cozy, perfect for a relaxed dining experience. Me and my bf tried their Sizzling Chicken Fajitas and Slow-cooked Barbacoa Costillas, and both were exceptional. Also we got a complimentary nachos as well! The meat was so tender, flavors were rich and every bite was a delight. The service was impeccable, with attentive staff ensuring that my dining experience was nothing short of perfect. If you're craving delicious Mexican cuisine with a halal twist, El Halal Amigos is the place to be! Definitely will be back ✅

This place is GREAT, the food the service and restaurant are all amazing quality and clean. The flavor and portion for the price is so so good!! I am so glad. We tried the a chicken burrito, quesadilla, a taco plate and slow cooked beef plate and everything tasted great!!! They should open up a branch is Orange County so I can have it more often!! The only thing was that the carne asada was a bit gamey, but I guess some people love that

We ordered a chicken burrito, beef Birria and loaded nachos. Everything tasted great! The staff are friendly and service was great. Portions sizes were big and filling. The food was served hot and the wait was not long even with a crowd. Good food good staff.

Alhamdulillah halal Mexican food is hard to find. Barbacoa was excellent. Street tacos were okay. Spanish rice was mushy. Salsa had no kick to it. Extremely loud Spanish pop music playing - not really our thing. Difficult to hear the waitresses, or even talk amongst ourselves.

Almost $20 for a burrito but look at the size of this… should be $5 at BEST if you’re giving me a burrito the size of 3 chips. Also this place charges a % for “living wage”, as if this highway robbery of portion wasn’t enough profit for you to pay your workers a good wage you expect US to cover that with the % fee? Never again.
