" Unfortunately, my experience at Mendoza’s did not live up to the hype. The food was too salty for my taste, and the beef was tough and overcooked. I understand that places can have off days, but that day happened to be mine! Their live music was enjoyable, but it didn’t distract from my disappointing meal. I likely won’t be returning anytime soon unless someone raves about a specific dish I must try. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently celebrated my birthday at Mendoza's and it was fantastic! From the moment we stepped in, the atmosphere was lively with mariachi music playing. The food came quickly, and during our group order, even dietary preferences were well handled. I especially loved the shrimp soup – it was flavorful and comforting. The staff sang 'happy birthday' to me, which was such a sweet gesture. I’ll definitely bring my friends back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointed with the service at Mendoza's. The food was great, but it took far too long to be served. We ended up waiting almost an hour for our entrees. I love the atmosphere and the music, which is lively and adds to the experience. I would return for the food but hope that the service improves on the next visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" What an incredible find in San Jose! Mendoza's Restaurant surprised us with its vibrant ambiance and delightful array of authentic Mexican dishes. We ordered the carne asada and fish tacos, both bursting with flavor. The homemade tortillas were the star of the show! Plus, the live mariachi added to the atmosphere without being overwhelming. A perfect place for family dinners or celebrations. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" It was a Saturday night and the restaurant was bustling. I had high hopes for Mendoza's due to the reviews, but my experience was mediocre. The food, while tasty, lacked some authenticity I was expecting. Service took awhile, which detracted from my enjoyment. I would visit again, though, as I feel it may just have been a busy night.

" I am in love with the authentic feel of Mendoza's Restaurant! From the hand-made tortillas to the spicy salsas, everything was fantastic. The ambiance was vibrant, filled with laughter and mariachi music. I tried the shrimp tacos, and they were absolutely divine. I will be recommending this place to all my friends and family!
