ABVE The Basics

Opens Tuesday at 11:00 AM

Cambrian, San Jose

"The fish taco is exactly what a fish taco should be. Fresh fish, grilled to perfection, spicy, crunchy cabbage, fresh thick corn tortillas"
"deep fried elote (DELICIOUS!). The crunch was such a fabulous change to traditional elote"
Pool tables, dart boards, and bar games while you wait

What looks like a neighborhood dive bar is secretly slinging some of the best tacos in San Jose. Fresh fish, smoky veggie options, and deep-fried elote with a satisfying crunch make this spot worth seeking out.
