What User doesn't like about San Jose Mexicano:
It was okay. When we went in, I had great hopes of all the great reviews. But it was only moderate food (very Bland), ok service. We only saw the server twice. Definitely disappointed he refused to make a group image as it was slow, but he said he was too busy. We celebrated the conclusion of my nephew from basic training for the army. But it's good, we have made a group photo outside and have to spend time together.... View all feedback. What User likes about San Jose Mexicano:
For the first time in this restaurant, it was on my list for a while. Customer service is about professional, very courteous and friendly. I and my bf ordered out and our food was delicious. I had the Chori-Pepos and my bf had Arroz con pollo. both dishes were amazingly fresh and delicious. we definitely come back! View all feedback.
