Reviews for Araujo's Mexican Grill - El Paisa in San Jose, CA

My fav tacos in SJ, i love the grilled onion and jalapeños gotta try salsa bar

The food here is amazing! I love the authentic smokey tastes to their carne asada. What I don?t like is the customer service. I... called their phone for 10 min straight to place an order ahead of time only to be sent to voicemail with the person on the otherline listening to me leave a voicemail instead of simply just picking up the phone. I decided to drive over to the spotmeanwhile I waited for someone to pick up the phone. Finally, after 10 min of ringing and multiple attempts to reach them, alady picks up the phone with an attitude but I ignore the attitude and place my order. I then proceed to ask for no sour creamin which she argued with me that they don?t add sour cream to my specific order but then realizes she?s wrong so she agrees totaking out the sour cream. Keep in mind I?m parked in the parking lot while she is talking to me now and wonder why she wouldnot pick up the phone because the restaurant was completely empty other than one other customer eating their food. Finally as Igo inside the restaurant, I let the cashier know I was the phone order. She immediately reverts back to the attitude she gave meon the phone and honestly seemed like a bigot loud mouth type of person which I dislike. Great food with poor customer servicereally deters people from eating at a restaurant. They need to either train this employee (older lady with glasses)on propercustomer service skills or fire her and bring back the last cashier which was a well mannered composed young lady that was happyto serve customers.

Good food, clean dining, and I like that you can see a clean prep space. I had tacos Al pastor and a vampiro. Good salsa. ... Also good horchata, made with the good cinnamon, not chalky candy stuff. Read more

Where to start. I took 4 bites out of a super burrito and all I was getting was beans/meat/rice. I unrolled it to find that... that's all it really had, other than a single avocado slice only on one side, plus some onion / tomato here and there(practically nothing). Where's the cheese and sour cream? What a rip off. The pastor meat was dry and flavorless. I also had ataco, which was underwhelming. Not too pleased with the food at all. Read more

This restaurant has some nasty tacos. They are full of grease. It?s so nasty, and I?ll leave the picture down below I had to... throw all my tacos away???????????? Don?t ever buy tacos from here. Read more

A place to eat some good alpastor and asada tacos with a handmade tortilla. Excellent price, clean place and excellent service.... I would go back a thousand times Read more

I got the veggie nachos and veggie burrito for dinner tonight. I don't know what type of "cheese" that thin white liquid is, but... it felt as if there was no cheese in the nachos. The nachos were meh, but surprisingly this was the half order and it felt likea meal! I didn't even eat the burrito, which is also on the large side... that'll be the midnight meal. Read more

Use to be the best burritos, too bad NOT anymore. They are more like a taco in a huge flour tortilla with a cold beans and... tortilla. How disappointmenting and for the price is a shame. Is not about the price, but this place is getting careless aboutkeeping regular clients.I will not go this place no more for sure. Read more
