freshly baked and cali sourdough is literally the same place. co-owners split up to have own place. amazing sandwiches.
amato's cheesesteaks in west sj is amazing
theres a small holeinthewall chinese cafe spot in north sj called cafe 97. 
boiling crab of course for seafood
bill's cafe is a good breakfast spot near downtown/ willowglen
rib-liscious in east sj near eastridge is a crack in the wall but its actually a pretty good place.
thai lovers in that grand century mall off story is another hole in the wall.
race street fish and poultry. classic sj spot for fishnchips

Best Chinese Food (Santa Clara) = Cooking Papa
Best Vietnamese food = Vung Tau
Best BBQ = Texas Smokehouse BBQ
Best Sandwich = Cali Sourdough
Best Mexican = La Costa
Best Sushi = Cha Cha Sushi (Mizu is super overrated and stingy)
Best Fancy restaurant = Alexander's
Best Wings = SmokeEaters
Best Burger = ??? haven't had a good burger down here..... The Counter is just OK.

Also try 99 chicken.....

I can go on for days!

 

[santi19]

Jake's pizza

 

[eugenile gts]

dont know about throwing lavics up in that mix, for mexican. esp in SJ when we have MANY places around..

they use cheap pieces of meat in the carne asada. a lot of inedible pieces. you know those ones that you tough out and swallow cause you dont want to look gross spitting it out. but that orange sauce got everybody hypnotized! lol

99 chicken is legit yall! i will vouch for that right there. It takes long to get your food cause they really cook it fresh. i dont think the chicken is even breaded until you order it. but you can taste the freshness and quality.

 

[xkrispyeli]

Every time i go to yard house its packed but i will go one of these days.

Smoke Easter is one of my favorites, usually go there for lunch during the semester.
What do you guys get at Boiling Crab?  I got the shrimp but I didnt like that it had all the bones and stuff still in it.

 

[luong1209]

A pound of shrimp / the whole shabang and throw corn in the bag. On hit.

Iguana's is a good spot too. Try the Burritozilla (5 lbs 18" burrito). Dude on Man vs Food finished it.
