Best Taqueria in San Jose · San Jose, CA
La Victoria Taqueria has fueled San Jose — and especially the SJSU late-night crowd — since 1998, and it's the house "orange sauce" that made it famous: a creamy, spicy condiment locals douse on everything from tacos to burritos. A stop here is a downtown rite of passage after last call.
A San Jose favorite with a cult-following sauce, La Victoria is the 2026 Centurion Award winner.

This is a dated award record, published by The Centurion Awards after La Victoria Taqueria cleared the 2026 evaluation for its market and category. It was not bought, voted on, or sponsored — the criteria are public, only winners are published, and an award that stops holding up is revoked, not quietly removed. Awards run one calendar year and renew only if the business clears the bar again.
