" We came here for dinner last weekend and had high hopes based on the great reviews. The vibe was lively, and I loved the decor! Unfortunately, the food did not meet our expectations— our enchiladas were bland and lacked the punch we were looking for. The service was attentive, but I just wish the food quality matched. We still had a decent time, but I might hold off on returning unless I hear some positive changes. " (*Curated Review*)

" A delightful dining experience overall! I have been here several times, and I have always enjoyed the food. The homemade chips and salsa are amongst the best I've had, and I appreciate that they offer a wide range of menu items, from tacos to hearty platters. There was a hiccup with my meal as the kitchen got my order wrong, but they corrected it quickly. I definitely felt that they care about ensuring their customers leave happy. I would recommend their pollo a la plancha—it’s excellently cooked! " (*Curated Review*)

" Such a cheerful place! The food was quite good, though not quite up to par with other authentic places I’ve been to in terms of flavors. The waiter was nice but seemed preoccupied with other tables. The service could definitely improve. Overall, still a pretty solid choice, and I suspect they’ll refine their service over time. I’ll give them another shot! " (*Curated Review*)

" Tried out San José for the first time recently and left feeling satisfied! The pieces of grilled chicken on my tostadas were juicy and well-seasoned. The service could be a little quicker, but it wasn’t too bad. My mixed drinks were also refreshing—perfect for a hot day! I’d come back for the food, as it had a great homey feel. " (*Curated Review*)

" The ambiance is definitely worth noting. San José has a warm, inviting feel that makes you want to sit for a while. The food quality was high; I loved the carne asada, which was grilled to perfection. My only criticism would be that the wait time for food could improve; it seemed to take longer than expected. Still, I appreciated the flavor and freshness of the dishes overall. " (*Curated Review*)

" Great experience overall but the food didn’t wow me as I’d hoped. I tried the pollo loco and the chicken was overcooked, unfortunately. I must say, the portion sizes are generous; even with my disappointment, I left quite full. The waiter was friendly but rarely came to check on us after the initial order. I’ll try it again but hope for a better meal the next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Was expecting a bit more flavor in my meal. The quesadillas didn't have the richness I anticipated, and the flavor was a little flat. On the other hand, the atmosphere was inviting and lively, which I appreciated. I can see why people rave about this place, but I personally left feeling underwhelmed with the food itself. I might give them another chance in the future. " (*Curated Review*)
