San Jose, CA
Harry currently ranks 10 tacos spots in San Jose, scoring 75–86 on the Harry Score. Prices run $$ to $$$.
The tortilla is the floor and the filling is the argument. Harry wants masa pressed that day, meat with actual char, and salsa that was somebody's morning job. A great taco needs neither a plate nor an explanation — and no amount of crema fixes a filling that arrived in a bag.
Ranked by the Harry Score — a weighted blend of Google, Yelp, Tripadvisor, and critic mentions. No paid placements. No affiliate links.
