Savoy Bar and Grill

Not fantastic…
Service was personable but slow. Flavor was good but lacked a little kick. Food should have come out sizzling but instead came to our table warm. Rice and beans were underwhelming. Pitcher of margaritas was pricey for the lack of alcohol. Portion size was reasonable for the price.
We will be helping our friends find a new favorite Mexican restaurant in their new hood… we need some kick and some heat to our Mexican food!

I really love Savoy Bar and Grill. Based on the name, I wouldn’t have guessed I’d be in for some authentic Mexican food. It was like coming to have breakfast at a relative’s house on a weekday morning. We sat by the window, enjoying our cafecito, waiting to see if the pictured food was going to be good. A regular was chatting it up with the owner proving it was a place to come and stay for awhile.
With the cozy atmosphere and good customer service came the highlight of my meal. Not one place in San Jose has served chilaquiles the way I like them. I am very partial to crispy tortillas smothered in light, flavorful sauce. I chose the salsa verde and was very happy with this dish. The bean, rice and egg were all cooked to perfection. Just thinking of it makes my mouth water.
My significant other ordered the huevos con jamon (ham and eggs scramble). It was very tasty indeed. A lot of times the tortillas get hard once they hit the air or are too thick, but these were delightfully thin and stayed soft. The two salsas were fresh and spicy.
My breakfast choices are now limited to a few select places. Savoy Bar and Grill being on the top of that list. I also ordered some burritos to go for my son and his girlfriend. They loved their food as well. Not a bad location, but if you aren’t careful you could easily pass it up. There is a taqueria across the street. Been there and do not recommend it. For great service and even better food, try this wonderful restaurant.

I was here today because my girlfriend loves the birria they serve here, however today we did not have a good experience, the waitress was great but the food was horrible! In the pass we’ve been here and the food is good but it seems the standard has gone down since we were here. I have yet not try any other dish since the only reason we come here is because my girlfriend loves the birria so this review it’s based on that dish alone. Today we were served a nasty meat soup plate, containing lots of skin and crushed bone and very little meat, flavor less and nasty! She was very disappointed since this is her favorite place to come to on weekends. It’s such a shame that such a good experience has been ruined for us. :(

Great chicken mexicana, lots of chunky jalapenos, kind of like a homestyle stew. Excellent house-​made tortillas, beans and rice were perfect, not overcooked. Very nice waitstaff.

The service here is outstanding. I came in to place an order to go. To my surprise I was seated and offered chips and salsa which I accepted. The salsa is green which I am not used to. To my surprise it is amazing. I also ordered a beer and it was served to me on a plate with with multiple lime slices and a salt shaker, outstanding. The people are very friendly and the place is not pretentious. If you are in this part of town in San Jose you can’t go wrong.

Bad.
Employees leaving half eaten food on the counters.
Dirty.

Birria. If you haven’t tried their version then you’re missing out! Tasty full on goat meat. Very tender and bursting with flavor. Top this with a side of tortilla and you’re set.
Fast service. Authentic food. Happy staff. Parking on site.

I have to say the birria is one of the most tasty birria i have ever eaten if you have never tried birria this is the place to go! they have a variety of food on their menu and a variety of drinks, great for families/friends.Their service is mediocre and did i mention they have all you can eat tortillas that go well with the menudo or birria. Hands down i will most likely come here again many might confuse it with the bar they have on 13^th and Oakland but at this location is the place to eat…

A real resturant!!! With amazing food!
This little gem is smack dab in the middle of 13^th street… Which is like Taqueria row– but Savoy is not your normal quick and dirty taqueria– its an authentic Mexican resturant with proper sit-​down service, a great menu and nice atmosphere,
The menu is varried and has something for everyone. Lots of traditional Mexican fare but also many choices for a more Americanized palatte. The service was great, tables clean and ice water was plentiful.
The complementary chips and 2 kinds of salsa were fresh and when the meals came the portions were generous. The seafood was cooked perfectly and the basic rice and beans were simple and delicious.
The food was amazing, but the atmosphere was really chill and laid back… They have a great little outdoor patio that is perfect for cooling off with a few beers in the late afternoon sun or enjoying the early morning sunshine with their chirizo & egg platters.
Highly recommended!

ugg… not very good.
General authentic mexican fair in the near north San Jose.
Ordered the chicken burrito. Mixed white/​dark meat with TONS of fat and grissle. Chips & Guac were good… probably not going back any time soon.

Colorful and lively place! Excellent food and lots of it! Great service too! The Burritos are pretty big, and the Birria was very tasty on a cold Saturday morning. I def recommend this place. Good for Families and large groups.

Great fresh food. Well prepared and presented. Service is family style with a comfortable feel. Blanca takes very good care of you.

This place was great. Fresh ingredients, great service. Mole chicken burrito, fajita burrito were excellent!!!
