Taqueria San Jose

  Great authentic restaurant in Goshen. Living in California I have my share of authentic Mexican Restaurants at my finger tips, so I was hesitant on Taqueria San Jose. My concerns were unwarranted.  The tacos (lengua and pastor) had so much meat on them that I was stuffed. The place is clean and the staff very friendly. I will surely have to return.

  I had high expectations for Taqueria San Jose. With the plethora of choices to eat Mexican in Goshen and around Elkhart County I guess there has to be a real dog in the bunch. The restaurant itself was very clean and service decent but those are the only notable high points. The food is where the real issues lie here. I hadn't ever seen pink chorizo in my life(nor do I ever want to see it again) until I had my plate sat in front of me. The al pastor was gamey and very chewy and the asada was incredibly dry and comparable to chewing cork board. My tortillas were either stale before they got put on the grill or were left on for a ridiculous amount of time but I'm guessing it was probably both. The sauces for the tacos were rather bland and didn't add anything to the meat. With so many wonderful taquerias around the area that do things right it is wrong to frequent this one.

  Very fresh and authentic Mexican food, in a cute and clean diner. The food was very good, including the menudo. Also very affordable prices and friendly service. Would come again!

  I ate at this place when I was visiting my family back in February. Granted, there aren't a lot of local places to dine in the Goshen area. My dad and brothers had been here before, so we all piled in the car and went to Taqueria San Jose for the $1 tacos. I ended up getting 3 or 4 tacos (chicken and beef - I couldn't decide on one type of meat), plus a side of refried beans, which I shared with my brothers. These tacos are delicious! They pile on all of the meat and toppings you could possibly want/ask for. I was stuffed and would have been ok with two tacos. I didn't try any of the pastries. I'm not a big fan of Mexican pastries - they look pretty, but rarely taste good. I would highly recommend going for the $1 tacos. I think they are $1 all day on Monday and Wednesday.

  Mondays and Wednesdays are $1 taco nights (tacos normally are $1.50). You get your choice of meat (fish, chicken, beef, tongue, pork, vegetarian and more). Cilantro and onion are free toppings, and you can choose between flour and corn tacos. I particularly liked the fish and tongue (hold your jokes) and wound up downing five tacos.
  
  The taqueria also has an assortment of fresh-baked goods, though I would avoid the churros. They're pretty stale and bland.
