Working further south in San Jose nowadays, I have the chance to visit some taquerias that weren't on my radar before. Senor Taco is a new one for me and is pretty close to work. I'd actually found this one before, but skipped over it in the Yelp results because I thought it was a fast food joint! Wasn't there a 'Senor Taco' fast food chain at one time? Like so many taquerias, it's shoved into an anonymous strip mall next to nail salons, liquor stores, fitness clubs, etc...
The Super Nachos were good. Nothing special, but they did certain key things right:
- Pico de gallo, sour cream, guacamole, all present and accounted for
- Generous helping of carnitas
- Not too much cheese
- Deep-fried, home-made tortilla chips
The meat was so-so. They should have seasoned them more because there was just a hint of that "plain pork" taste that grosses me out a little because it reminds me of a petting zoo. This hurt what could have otherwise been a higher score.
One standout item: The salsa bar is epic!!
Such variety and unique salsas. I absolutely loved their creamy chipotle salsa and ate a bunch of it with my nachos, burning the you-know-what out of my tongue because it was a tad too spicy, but loving every minute of it!
Rating: 4 out of 5
Rating Notes: Would have been a 3½ but that salsa bar was good for ½ a point bonus. Carnitas were some of the weaker ones I've ever tasted.
