" This place is definitely a hit! My family and I went for dinner last week, and we cannot stop raving about the appetizers—their guacamole is so fresh and creamy! The atmosphere is family-friendly and cozy, perfect for gathering after a long week. I tried their chicken fajitas, which were amazing—served sizzling hot and plenty to eat. Even the kids were impressed. Service was attentive, and the staff made our experience feel welcoming. We are already planning our next visit, and I can’t wait to share this gem with more friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was skeptical at first, but after visiting San Jose, I can say it was a wonderful experience! The restaurant had a welcoming vibe and plenty of seating, which is always a plus. I tried their seafood platter and was pleased with how fresh it tasted. The service was quick and friendly, giving me great recommendations. While I felt some dishes could use a little more authenticity, overall, it was an enjoyable meal and I'm eager to explore more from their menu in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" Unfortunately, my experience at San Jose was not what I expected. Although the food had some bright spots, like the flavor of the birria tacos, my meal felt lackluster compared to what I've heard from others. I was somewhat put off by the portion sizes, as I left feeling hungry and unsatisfied. The service was friendly enough but not particularly attentive; I had to ask for refills which is unusual for places I've frequented. While I appreciate the effort, it didn't meet my expectations. I may give it another shot down the line, but next time I think I’ll try a different dish. " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I are regulars at San Jose and love the nachos and their incredible tacos. The environment is very family-friendly and always feels welcoming when you walk in. Last time, the service was exceptional. The kids are always happy with their meals, and as an adult, I appreciate the well-rounded menu that features authentic tastes from different regions of Mexico. Even after visiting multiple times, they continue to surprise me! I recommend this place to those who want a genuine Mexican dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" San Jose has quickly become my new favorite dining spot. The atmosphere is lively and bustling, very family-friendly, which I adore. I tried their seven seas soup, a recommendation from a friend, and it was fantastic—a delicious combination of flavors! The service was nice; my server checked on me regularly but not too often. I am excited to visit again soon to try more menu items that caught my eye! Definitely, a place to keep on your radar for authentic cuisine. " (*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!
