Taqueria San Jose was founded because a need for a new style of Mexican restaurant in Modesto was  needed. It would be a family Mexican eatery with a very festive atmosphere. Along with an attractive environment, the food would be the freshest and best tasting every time. This service would also have to fit a family's budget. Most importantly, the overall focus would be consistent performance, not gimmickry.

In less than five years, Taqueria San Jose became known as "The Best Mexican Restaurant." By this time, Juan and David opened a second location. Taqueria San Jose became the place to go for "Best-Mex" food.

Taqueria San Jose serves as a neighborhood eatery. There are hundreds of customers that need their weekly dose of Taqueria San Jose.

 “We see many customers dining with us two or three times a week. Our customers are our neighbors”.

Taqueria San Jose has never strayed from the original intention, never losing focus on consistent and affordable Mexican food and excellent service.

Taqueria San Jose Restaurant is family owned and operated.
