" I'm a fan of their lunch specials, always a good deal! I usually get the chicken burrito which is filling and packed with flavor. The ambiance is great for a quick lunch break. It can get a bit busy, so sometimes service takes a back seat, but the staff is friendly. Great spot to enjoy quick, tasty food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’m not a big fan of Mexican food but I got dragged to El San Jose and I have to admit I was impressed. I tried their fish tacos and they were fantastic! The ingredients tasted fresh, and the flavors were right on point. The service was quick and friendly, which made the experience pleasant. I’ll be joining my friends here again soon.

" While my overall experience was okay, I do have to say that the food lacked a bit of seasoning. The salsa was fresh, but it could have used more kick. The service was friendly, which I appreciated, but it was slow. I loved the ambiance, which felt very authentic, but I hope they improve their flavors next time I visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a gem of a restaurant! I didn't have high expectations given its location, but El San Jose delivered in every aspect. The tacos were authentic and delicious, served with fresh toppings. The staff was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. I'm already planning my next visit to dive into their extensive menu. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried El San Jose and had high hopes after reading reviews. The food was good, but I was expecting more of an authentic experience. The crispy tacos were fresh but lacked seasoning. The service was average, but the atmosphere was nice and laid-back. It’s a fine place to stop in, but I wouldn’t go out of my way. " (*Curated Review*)

" El San Jose was recommended to me by a friend, and I’m glad I went! The food was delicious, especially the street tacos. Our server was attentive and made sure we were happy with our meals. It was a bit busy during our visit, but that didn’t detract from our experience. I will definitely be returning! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't rave enough about the amazing food here! It genuinely felt like home-cooked Mexican. The tamales were soft and flavorful, and the drinks were on point! They even have a selection of margaritas that are fantastic. The service was speedy and courteous, despite being busy. Can't wait to bring more friends here next time! " (*Curated Review*)
