San Jose, CA
Harry currently ranks 10 mexican spots in San Jose, scoring 82–87 on the Harry Score. One carries critic or guide backing. Prices run $ to $$.
Tacos are a delivery system for flavour, not a vehicle for cheese. Harry cares about the masa, the carne, whether the salsa verde was made today. He is not interested in nachos, guacamole by the tableside, or anything served in a novelty bowl.
