Elma's Taqueria

Great Mexican food!!!!!

Yummy fish tacos

Wow 😯

Delicious burritos.

Burritos and Chile’s rellenos are my favorite!! They have have mentioned they will now be on Doordash!!! 🙏🏾 YASSS

This place never disappoints. The best in San Jose!

Amazing portion!!! Found this hidden gem around the mall when all the other food places honest sucks. And I’m amazed how good the food is! This will be my goto whenever i visit the mall from now on, 10/10!

The birria pizza was so delicious. They cook the meat to perfection and leave it just right and mouth watering they are super generous with the cheese and toppings definitely worth stopping by and check them out the orange sauce left me craving more dip it in the consume you won’t be disappointed can’t wait to stop by again for another one. Huge Thanks to the Elmas team

The lady at the cash register was so kind, super helpful, and great energy. She spoke really good english as well. I bought horchata, and she did not skimp, it was very large and filled for a great price. Horchata was great, not grainy, very smooth. And I also got the birria pizza. It was delicious and flavorful. For $30, it was great, filling, and I have leftovers! They also do not skimp on the meat. They gave LOTS of consome and garnishes (cilantro and onion) and sauce! I really recommend this place :)

Ordered pork, chicken and cheese tamales for our New Years luncheon. Called the day before and they came through even with our short notice. The tamales were moist and delicious! We will be ordering from them again.

A bit pricey 18$ dollars for burritos and coke. The girls are pretty! Everyone was nice and polite. I'm thankful.

Went by Elma’s today and the guacamole was the best I’ve had. It was rich and creamy with cilantro and tomatoes with a subtle citrus flavor. Also picked up my usual items including the fish ceviche and the pico de gallo. Everything was just perfect.

We lost a member of my family. We used Elmas catering for the services. They did Everything! They even set up a coffee ☕ bar with pan dulce. They had excellent food and service! Thank you for such great service!

Excellent customer service, especially the owner, very kind of him, he goes beyond his way to serve a last-minute take out order to. My respects to Mr Jose who waited on me, even he was about to close I'd suggest to place your order before coming, it'll save you some time, it can get busy at times. Fresh, it's tastes just like if was home-made, delicious plates: beef stew, chicken soup, freshly made seafood, goat meat is served on weekends. Moderate prices, but lower prices than restaurants. It's Highly recommended 👍

One of the best Authentic Mexican Restaurant's that I have ate at in a while! This place offers great value with awesome customer service. From the Cashier to the Chef you can taste the passion that is involved when eating any of there tasty food. I tried there Enchiladas and I have to say portion wise they did not skimp. All around great place to grab a bite to eat because of their portion, price and friendliness. I will defiantly be back!

Great food! The birria seca de res with the hand made tortillas is my favorite dish on the weekends! Highly recommend this taqueria!

Awesome attention to detail and customer care. We were very impressed with the quality of floral designs at our event, as well as the overall appearance of our venue. I especially appreciated the highly customizable package for my event. After shopping other vendors, these prices are great! My guests also raved about the delicious ceviche and tortilla chips appetizer, the next day! We will definitely use Elma's services in the future!

My husband surprised me with some authentic Mexican food the other day and these quesabirria tacos were the best I ever had, so delicious and so much flavor. They have two locations and the one my husband said he went to is the one on Sunny CT. Its a must try 🔥 😋

I have know them for quite some time now. Always wanted to make the time to sit down and make this review for them. They have always treated me and my friends really good. I pretty much like all their staff, they are all polite and courteous when taking your order. In the last 2 or 3 years I have had the opportunity to visit them just about every day of the week and even sometimes on the weekend when they have different specialty dishes. I can now say with complete confidence that you will not be disappointed. Great selection of dishes and amazing taste o anything and I mean anything from their manu. I am really not over stating I hope you fuys out there don’t mind but I hace tried most of their dishes and simply haven’t had less than a great experience. With all this in mind, I would recommend this place to anyone looking for the closest to the mexican traditional taste.

This place is pretty great. Quesabirria tacos, and the service is quick and efficient. Don't like the fact that I had to go into the Fresco market to get my food, but it was totally worth it once I ate it.

You should definitely try their specials. Went today for lunch they had fish filete with steamed vegetables for those who are trying to be good. Also for the season they have an automatic traditional Mexican exquisite capirotada. highly recommended.

Good

Inside fresco. Everything is good and they cater.

Way over priced for my taste

Good food

fresh homemade food beef pozole /cocido/ birria with rice and beans are my favorite seafood pork carnitas the best chile verde and. more . Togo 👍😷

Great food fresh tortilla but long line becouse the foods that good

The chicken torta I had was really good and flavorful. I feel there was a bit too much cheese on it but I like that cheese. There were also extra jalapeños on the side, which I added to the torta, which was nice. The tacos were delicious also. Update 9/12 : I ordered the quesa birria with goat today. It was so yummy and flavorful with the sauce. The pupusa was good too but I've had better ones at an actual Salvadoran place.

Pretty good for a quick bite. Not real any seating. Mainly a to go place

Ok

I ordered a pound of carnitas and while the pork was tender the meat was lacking in seasoning. It felt very one note for $11.99 per lbs. Sorry.

Oh my!!!! so fresh, so clean and they always put just the right amount of beans on my tacos 🌮.. staff is decent I've never ate here and NOT left a tip.. .

Super expensive. 2 tacos de asada with flour tortillas was a total of 17.50... definitely not worth the price. Some plates are a hit or miss. The birria tends to be really good. The tamal and puposas sometimes are good sometimes too dry. The aguas frescas are always really good. And to top it off the only available table was in full sun...

They always get my order wrong. Every time😐

Stay away....raw roasted chicken

Worst customer service

Worst menudo I have ever tasted! Watery no taste at all even Witt all the fixings you put on top. Horrible! Disgusting 🤮

The cashier did not sanitized her hands after using the cashier machine and did not used gloves to handle food. The orders took to long and were not prepared in order of purchase. Need to improve food preparation services and cleaness.

Worst tacos ...The Store looks like a landfill/Storage. .they don't even know how to make taco salsa....overall everything No Pinche Bueno.......

This used to be my go-to place for burritos. We door dash from them quite frequently. This is now the 3rd time in a row that they screwed up my order. They put the wrong ingredients in my burrito. The first couple of times they did this I could still eat it (example: they gave me a carne asada burrito with pinto beans instead of a carnitas burrito with refried beans). The second time it was completely the wrong order burrito, but was edible. This third and last time, I order my usual carnitas burrito with refried beans and I received a burrito with pinto beans and buche. I absolutely do not like buche, this burrito nearly made me vomit. It is unacceptable to be doing this to your customers, how hard is it to prepare the correct burrito? 3 times in a row! You will not be getting any more of my business. I don't know what changed with you guys, you used to be my favorite burrito place. Unfortunately this was the last straw.
