Taqueria San Jose - Waterford Twp

The chairs were brought in from Mexico. The food was delicious and the view was stunning.

I had passed by this restaurant a few times in the past and finally found myself in the area, so I decided to call and was greeted in Spanish! Authentic, check. They were open for dine-in, which was a pleasant surprise. When I arrived, I was impressed by the decor. If it weren't for COVID-19, I would have definitely organized a dinner date with friends here. The atmosphere was bright and cheerful, and it was great to see the restaurant following social distancing guidelines. I was pleasantly surprised to find that they had the 'fun meats' that I enjoy, such as Tamarindo de agua, lengua, tripas tacos, and menudo soup. I usually have to go to southwest Detroit to order these dishes, so I was thrilled that they were available here as well. And let me tell you, the food was absolutely delicious. I even ordered another taco dinner to go for my husband with carne asada and al pastor, I can't wait to see how much he enjoys it. While enjoying my meal, I noticed a steady stream of Latin customers coming in, which was reassuring to see. I almost forgot I wasn't in southwest Detroit! I will definitely be back when I'm in the area, and I might even bring my laptop since I noticed there was an outlet next to the booth in the back.

Although the restaurant is small, it has a very friendly and authentic Mexican atmosphere. A big plus for me was that there was no rice in the burrito. However, the tacos were not as good as I had hoped. They need more meat in them, even though I understand that meat can be expensive. I could count the amount of meat in the tacos without even touching them. Despite this, the food was still good and I would definitely return for more.

The chairs were imported from Mexico. Great food and the landscape was great.

Stopped in for the first time today and got the fajita burrito smothered in queso. Delicious. Online ordering was super easy and I could pick up my meal in 10 minutes.
