Some of our culinary delights...

At Tacos Al Vapor Nueva Italia, we pride ourselves on a diverse menu filled with traditional Mexican dishes, specializing in delicious tacos al vapor. Each dish is prepared with care, ensuring an authentic taste experience for every customer.

Tacos al Vapor (Cabeza or Lengua)

Our tacos al vapor de cabeza y lengua are slow-steamed to perfection with authentic flavor in every bite. The cabeza is tender, juicy, and full of savory flavor, while the lengua is buttery-soft with a smooth texture that melts in your mouth. Served on warm steamed tortillas and topped with fresh cilantro, onions, and your choice of salsa.

Quesabirrias de Res 

Our quesabirrias de res are packed with slow-braised beef cooked in rich spices and melted cheese inside crispy grilled tortillas. Each quesabirria is golden and crunchy on the outside, juicy and flavorful on the inside, and served with a side of warm consommé for dipping. Topped with fresh cilantro, onions, and lime, it’s the perfect combination of cheesy, savory, and authentic birria flavor.

Enchiladas Michoacanas

Our enchiladas michoacanas are made with lightly fried corn tortillas dipped in our flavorful homemade red sauce and topped with fresh cabbage, tomatoes, avocado, carrots, and queso cotija for the perfect balance of fresh and savory flavors. This traditional Michoacán-style dish is served with your choice of chicken, bistec, or cecina on the side, making every plate a true authentic Mexican favorite.

Menudo 

Our traditional menudo is slow-cooked for hours with tender beef tripe in a rich, flavorful red chile broth seasoned with authentic spices and homestyle flavor. Served hot with fresh onions, cilantro, lime, and warm tortillas on the side, it’s the perfect comforting dish to start your weekend. Available only on Saturdays and Sundays only. 

Plato de Carne Asada 

Our carne asada plate features tender, perfectly grilled steak seasoned with flavorful Mexican spices and served with fresh lettuce and pico de gallo on top. Each plate comes with traditional rice, beans, and 5 warm corn tortillas on the side, creating a delicious and authentic Mexican favorite.

Enchiladas Suizas 

Our enchiladas suizas are made with lightly fried corn tortillas filled with your choice of chicken or cheese, topped with your choice of homemade green or red salsa, both mild and flavorful. Served with rice, beans, and a fresh side salad of lettuce and pico de gallo drizzled with sour cream for the perfect balance of savory and fresh flavors.

"Out of every Mexican restaurant I've dined at in San Jose, this one is without a doubt the greatest. Amazing service with charming staff, very welcoming atmosphere and most importantly, the food!"
