" Not the best experience. The atmosphere was nice and vibrant; however, my order of enchiladas did not impress me. They were kind of dry and lacked seasoning. The staff was friendly, but they seemed rushed, and our table felt neglected. I did enjoy the chips and salsa though, which were refreshingly crisp. As a Mexican cuisine lover, I expected more authentic flavors. I hope to see improvements on my next visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really excited to try this place after hearing good things, but my experience was a bit underwhelming. The ambiance was nice, but the food was just average. The carne asada was tough and not very flavorful, which was disappointing. Service was average as well—nothing to complain about, but also nothing memorable. I might return to give it another chance on a busier night. " (*Curated Review*)

" The food is flavorful and made with fresh ingredients. I've really enjoyed each visit! The chicken tacos with avocado were delicious, and they really nailed the taste! The staff is friendly and always willing to help. I love coming here, and I'll continue to do so! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited this restaurant last week, and I loved my experience! The fish tacos were out of this world—crispy, fresh, and just bursting with flavor. The atmosphere was relaxed, and we didn't feel rushed. Best of all, our server was exceptional! Attentive but not intrusive. I also appreciated the reasonable prices for the hearty portions! Highly recommend the horchata as well! I will definitely return whenever I'm in the area. " (*Curated Review*)

" I dine out often and I must say, San Jose's Original Mexican Restaurant is one of my top places! The beef burritos were simply delicious, stuffed full to the brim, and served warm and hearty. The atmosphere is lively, with colorful decorations creating a festive vibe. Our server was attentive and very friendly; she made sure everything was perfect. I would liken their food to what you would find at a family-run establishment in Mexico. Can't wait to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" From the moment we walked in, the warm and inviting atmosphere enveloped us. As for the food, it was simply outstanding. The chicken enchiladas I ordered were drenched in a rich, flavorful sauce that was legit! The portion sizes were generous, and the chips and salsa that preceded the meal set the stage for what was to come. Plus, the margaritas were refreshing and exactly what we needed. We left with full stomachs and smiles on our faces! Highly recommend this spot anytime!! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is amazing! From the warm service to the friendly atmosphere, everything just feels right. The tamales were simply the best I've ever had—authentic and bursting with flavor. Also, they had a good selection of beers to wash it down with. Our server was also great, providing just the right amount of attentiveness. " (*Curated Review*)
