Taqueria San Jose Menu (Updated October 2025)

Welcome to Taqueria San Jose, where the vibrant flavors of Mexican cuisine come alive on South Halsted Street in Chicago. This casual eatery offers a menu bursting with authentic dishes that promise to satisfy every palate.

Among the standout options is the Carne Asada Tostada, featuring juicy skirt steak, or the Picadillo Tostada, which showcases seasoned ground beef, both priced at just $5.50. These tostadas are perfect for a quick bite or part of the Platillo Tostada Dinner, which includes beans, rice, and salad for $14.50.

Breakfast at Taqueria San Jose is not to be missed. The Huevos Rancheros, served with country-style eggs, and the Chilaquiles, featuring crispy fried tortillas with your choice of salsa, are customer favorites. Each dish is not only generous in portion but also rich in flavor, making for a fulfilling start to your day.

Vegetarians will find delight in options like the Nachos, heaped with beans, cheese, and fresh toppings for $14.59. And don’t forget to wash it all down with their natural fruit drinks, as recommended by loyal patrons, who claim they serve some of the best tacos in Chicago.

With a warm atmosphere and friendly service, Taqueria San Jose is truly a gem for lovers of authentic Mexican fare.
