" Best place to hang out with friends! I ordered the fajitas during my last visit and they were served sizzling hot. My friend got the birria tacos which were bursting with flavor. The atmosphere is perfect for a casual dinner, and the service was spot on! The staff takes the time to check in without being overly intrusive. I will definitely be back for tacos and cocktails soon! Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for satisfying Mexican comfort food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was excited to try out San Jose based on recommendations and I have to say, I loved it! Their tacos are top-notch and come with a variety of toppings. The staff was attentive and went out of their way to ensure we were satisfied during our meal. The restaurant has a cozy atmosphere, perfect for catching up with friends or a casual family dinner. I can’t wait to go back and dig into their menu a little deeper! I’ve already picked out a few things I want to try! " (*Curated Review*)

" My visit to San Jose was pleasant, though I did encounter a few hiccups. The wait time for a table was longer than expected, but once seated, we received our drinks promptly. I ordered their shrimp tacos which were good but not the standout dish people rave about. The atmosphere was lively and fun—perfect for a family dinner! Overall, I enjoyed myself but would recommend some dishes over others. I might try the birria tacos next time to see if they live up to the hype! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had such a mixed experience at San Jose. The atmosphere was great, it felt vibrant and alive. I appreciated the effort the restaurant put into creating a colorful setting. I ordered a seafood dish that was highly praised, but I must admit it fell short of my expectations. The portion size was very small, and I found it lacked that authentic flavor that I was hoping for based on the reviews. The service was alright—not too slow, but there seemed to be a lack of enthusiasm in the attention I received. Overall, it might be worth trying them for their tacos, but not for the seafood! " (*Curated Review*)

" San Jose is an incredible Mexican restaurant that I can't recommend enough! The moment you walk in, you're greeted with a vibrant atmosphere that sets the stage for a fun dining experience. The food? Absolutely divine! Their birria tacos are rich and flavorful – a must-try! The margaritas, especially when mixed by Tony, are the best in town. The staff is friendly and attentive, making every visit feel special. I come here frequently, and the consistency in their food quality never ceases to amaze me. If you're looking for authentic Mexican cuisine in Shelbyville, look no further! I'll definitely be back next week for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a gem in Shelbyville! The food was on point, especially their seafood soup that was packed with flavor and a kick. However, I was slightly disappointed with the portion sizes; they felt a bit small for the price. Still, the salsa was delightful and complemented the chips well! The staff was friendly and our server was prompt. The atmosphere is vibrant, perfect for families or a night out with friends. I'll definitely recommend this place, though I might try something else next time to compare flavors! " (*Curated Review*)

" I must say, I was impressed with my visit to San Jose! The ambiance is very lively, making it a great spot for families or friends. I ordered the chili Colorado; it was slightly spicy but had incredible flavor, paired perfectly with the rice. The drinks were also refreshing, and the margaritas are a definite highlight! The service was friendly and our server was attentive throughout the meal. Overall great value for the money spent, and I've already planned my next trip back after just one visit!
