Open only from 11:30AM to ~2:15PM M-F. Their trucks outside, and at ~Elco&Lawrence, do not make the very good Wet Burrito Carne Asada, and it is just "Not" the same as inside. However, inside, The Wet Burrito, is worth walking there barefoot in Summer, to just taste it! . . OMG! So tasty good, with its Secret bouquet of Chili Flavor and Zing! Be sure to ask for Green Salsa too, and that Wet Burrito will do what it says ;-) I pitty the poor people that do not tip 20% here. That means bring $12 each with water only. You will be so satisfied. Take a second to go for a friend! They will be so grateful! Super gorgeous servers, and Cooks who can cook too! Ive never had a Margarita for Lunch in my life before, but I hear they are available. Exotic bottled beers too.

Okay I was actually really surprised they made me my custom order basically no issues at all yeah I was around like 10 or $11 but no big deal was kind of being a little more than I want to pay for breakfast but thats okay its Oakland but the thing is that the breakfast really wasnt up to par to my standards but the taste of it was absolutely incredible yes the look wasnt great but the taste of the food was just to die for. Another thing is if you havent checked out their Salsas so far you definitely should check out their mild salsa their mild sauce is problem in the best mild salsa I have ever had and Im not a big fan of mild salsa or the green stuff but this stuff is just absolutely incredible check them out theres a Target going to be built right next door so going stop on by.

Awesome place for original baja tacos! I usually have the grilled chicken tacos and the meat is good and the sauces (especially the spicy one) is fantastic! The salsa they serve with the chips is different and also very good. To top it all off, its quick and fairly inexpensive.

I know the place is called El taco de oro...but that doesnt mean they have to charge like it is gold!!! Meat was very dry and the tortillas were super salty.. I dont recommend anybody to come here unless you are made of Gold,and is willing to pay the price!!!

Everything was fresh and well executed. The hand made corn tortillas were awesome. Only complaint is that for non-meat eaters there are very few options. No fish options, no real vegetarian options. I opted for a shrimp dish, which turned out great.

Great Street Food. Go to the Truck, this place is in Alviso right off 237 take N. 1st towards the bay, you will drive right into it... The Tacos are awesome, also I havent missed with any of the burritos...

Great food and super friendly staff. Worth the journey out of Silicon Valley back to old California to go to this traditional location. Super fresh ingredients, nice decor and attentive service. All good.

Some of the best street style tacos around. The location is a little ghetto, always smells like cleaner in there, but the food is great. Get at least 4 tacos to be satisfied as theyre small but cheap.

They only gave red salsa when I asked them extra salsas green and red. No pickled veggies. Burrito had no cilantro. One slice of lime and raffish were totally dried just like dried fruits.

Fantastic service, friendly people, free chips and salsa (at the sit in restaurant, at least), and amazing food. There was even soccer on the TV when I went! Could not have been better.

Best carne asada ever. So superbly crispy, and the quesadilla was perfectly cheesy. Good horchata but not enough cinnamon for me. Overall, Id travel from Hayward just for the food here.

Tacos, tacos, and tacos. Thats all you need to know about taco de oro. They also have food trucks. One is located right next to it and one is at the homedepot by the great mall. TACOS.

Love this taqueria. Especially their cabaza and beef tongue. Cheap and casual. Service can be slow some time so dont hesitate to flag them down if you need service.

Great authentic tacos. I had the tongue and cheek tacos. Very good. Would recommend sticking with the regular tacos, supreme tacos have too much fillings.

Both the restaurant and the truck are solid places for great tacos and burritos. Its tucked in an unassuming area but frequented by local tech workers

Chicken tacos were okay. Chopped not shredded. A bit dry. Good flavor. Very small. Two tacos plus rice and beans was not enough food for lunch.

I got an al-pastor taco and asada wet burrito. Their al pastor is similar to the one in king taco in LA. Their red sauce is pretty good!!!

Great food and service. Certainly not a classy or romantic place, but a great restaurant and great prices. Good for groups of up to 8.

Not very good, but not terrible. I think all the tech workers there dont know any better, hence the 4.4 star review.

The restaurant itself is terrible. Go to the taco truck in front of the little convince store. The tacos are amazing!

Been here twice now. Best tacos Ive had so far around North San Jose. They also have a food truck running outside.

Excellent authentic Mexican taqueria with good pricing. They serve gringo food as well, but why go for those?

Good place to have a quick lunch. Mexican food is spicy in general, but these guys have non spicy options.

The lengua tacos are BOMB. The cabeza ones are a close second. The pastor ones, super close third.
