A San Jose staple, La Victoria – or La Vic’s – is a go-to spot for locals to get their burrito fix. With their iconic spicy orange sauce and a variety of fillings, you can’t go wrong. La Vic’s has multiple locations in San Jose in the Downtown, North and South San Jose neighborhoods.
Also paired with their own orange sauce, Iguana’s burritos are a staple in Downtown. A popular choice is their “Best” burrito – a California-style burrito with fries and a nacho cheese filled tortilla. Iguana’s also offers their infamous “Burritozilla” for those who dare to take the challenge. If you finish the 18-inch 5-pound burrito, you get a t-shirt and bragging rights.
Angelou’s is the home of the Mo-co Loco Burrito, a carne asada burrito complete with a fried egg. The authentic Mexican food spot provides all your favorite offerings including California, wet and vegetarian burritos.
El Halal Amigos brings two cultures together in perfect harmony.
