Taqueria · Central San Jose · $$
A menu anchor done right — well-sauced, generously filled, and finished with melted cheese that pulls cleanly off the plate
Latin American & Caribbean · Brooktree · $
A crispy tostada layered with seasoned ground meat, pickled beets, curtido, and queso fresco — nothing like the Mexican version; more composed, tangy, and colorful
New American · Willow Glen · $$
Sauced generously with choice of mole, verde, or ranchera — the veggie versions hold their own against any meat filling

Traditional preparation with red or green sauce — solidly made without surprises, a good benchmark for the kitchen's comfort level

Reliable comfort-food anchor on the menu — sauced generously, though not especially distinctive
Mexican · West Valley · $$$
Sauced generously and filled with your choice of protein — the mole version is the most interesting option on the plate
