" Just had dinner at El San Jose and I'm not too impressed. The chilaquiles were greasy and lacking in flavor. The atmosphere was nice, but that was about it. Service was chaotically busy and slow. Won't be rushing back anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Our family had a fantastic time at El San Jose! The atmosphere is lively, decorations are cheerful, and the food is delicious. I particularly loved the fish tacos, and my kids cleaned their plates. The service was attentive, and we had a great evening. Definitely will be back for more! " (*Curated Review*)
