Food was so good! We had huevos rancheros, chicken tacos, chicken tostadas and they were all amazing! Their homemade salsas were great as well. Highly recommend San Jose Taqueria if you’re looking for authentic Mexican food!

It’s a “hole in the wall” kind of place, but the tacos are the best. Staff is friendly as well. It’s truly a hidden gem for Mobile. Love it!!!

Get your passport out, bring a dictionary or open your google lens app because this is like walking into Mexico. I loved it- my enchiladas were delicious, the beans were so good I wanted to cry and whatever my mom ordered is going to feed us for days.

Best hidden gem for authentic tacos in the area. I’m from Ocean Springs and I try to hit this place up every time I pass by the area. I bring a cooler with me so I can bring some Al pastor and carne asada meat home with me as well.

This is by far my favorite authentic taco place in mobile. These hit the spot every time. Chorizo are my favorite, but haven’t been disappointed by any I’ve tried. The location is sketch, but the price is right!

This place is fantastic! The service was wonderful! Very friendly and helpful. The place was clean and welcoming. The food was some of the best I've had and most authentic ive had since my trip to Mexico 2 years ago. I highly recommend this place and will be back again! The pricing and portion is great too!

Great tacos! Looking around at all the other tables it would seem the soup is good too so next time I'm in I'll have to test that theory. The place is a bit small so you might have to wait for a table, or make new friends and share a table!
