Anna provided amazing service at this taqueria! She was very kind, patient, and helpful in making sure we ordered the right food. She explained the menu well and made great suggestions. The food was delicious, and her friendly attitude made the whole experience even better. Thank you, Anna, for the great service—we’ll definitely be back!

Here's a place to get your taco fix whether it's Tuesday or not. This place does not skimp on their portions!! I love how much meat they give, the open kitchen layout and most importantly, their salsa bar. If you can handle spicy, try their habanero salsa! It's a creeper! * Super Burrito w/ Carne Asada * Taco Salad w/ Carne Asada * Crunchy Shrimp Taco * Street Tacos (carne asada & al pastor) * Flan Napolitano Free parking garage across from the flea market Dog-friendly patio!

We haven't had Mexican food for about two months, so we were excited to check out @araujosmexgrill. The place was really clean and definitely a cool place for watching sports bc there's a big screen TV!! (1501 Berryessa Rd, SJ.) Some of our favorites were the Super flour quesadilla with carnitas and Carne Asada Fries with some sour cream and salsa! The food feels healthier and not greasy at all, which is a bonus.

"Feed me Tacos and tell me I'm Pretty!!" I was craving authentic Mexican food and came across Araujo's Mexican Grill on Berryessa Rd. Their signature dish, the Molcajetes Mixtos, is a feast of mixed meats, cheese, and a quesadilla, served in a massive stone bowl that keeps everything hot from start to finish. It comes with chips and tortillas, so you can build your own tacos—I made one with everything, and it was incredible! The portion is huge, easily enough to feed three to four people. I also tried the Carne Asada fries, and what stood out was the curly fries, which kept the toppings elevated and crispy. The serving size was perfect for satisfying late-night cravings, and they were generous with the avocado and sour cream. Pro tip: Order the fries extra crispy to keep them from getting soggy under all the toppings. The salsa bar has everything you need to customize your meal, but beware of one of the orange sauces—it seems mild at first, but the heat kicks in after a couple of seconds! They also serve fresh Mango, Horchata, and Strawberry Agua Fresca daily, which pairs perfectly with the meal. To finish, the flan was rich, creamy, and not overly sweet—a perfect way to end the feast. Plus, their big-screen TV makes it a great spot to catch a football or soccer game while you eat!
