Reviews For San Jose's Original Mexican Restaurant

This is one of my all time favorite restaurants. You can go wrong with a meal here. The chips and salsa come out quick and are included with any meal. California burrito is delicious and is a great way to taste some of their signature flavors. The fajitas are amazing and always come out hot and sizzling. Our waiter Andreas is outstanding. He is one of the most knowledgeable and entertaining waiters I’ve had the pleasure of meeting. He brings all the food quick and knows the best food on the menu. If you haven’t been to this San Jose make plans, it’s always worth a visit.

Great Mexican restaurant. Service was great. Friendly and attentive. Excellent prices. Far enough from theme parks that it wasn't touristy. Great prices along with daily specials. Highly recommend the chicken nachos and the fajitas. I was in Orlando for a work trip. San Jose's was so good I went with my husband the first night and then back was a coworker a few nights later. I will definitely eat there again next time I'm in the area.

The staff is always so accommodating for our large group. We typically go as a group of friends and they are always willing to split bills into each family. Food is always good!

The food was good. The music was too loud for our liking but the best thing of the meal was our server, Joe. He was so attentive and nice. We really appreciate you, Joe!
