La Victoria Taqueria, San Jose, CA (6.5 of 10)
My mom and I tried this place out after one look at the line in Iguana’s. All in all, it didn’t turn out to be a bad decision. The food was pretty good. The burrito was huge. The pricinng was fair.
This restaurant advertises the same orange sauce as Iguana’s (though they claim they’re the only ones who sell it) and they sell it by the gallon, for all the college students who can’t get enough of it. Once again, the orange sauce here is mediocre compared to what’s offered at Cotixan’s in San Diego, but still, I guess if it’s what ‘the kids are into these days’ then so be it.
As for my carne asada burrito, it was pretty similar to that of Vallarta or Iguana’s. Not bad, but nothing overly special. Mexiscale rating = 6.5 out of 10.
