It was fantastic just like Mexico, during the day you have people and singers who will play songs next to your table, they sell individual items who will sell you flowers, or sell sweet breads or what ever is popular that day. Its part of the Mexican culture. Food was amazing see the pictures on this review. Drinks excellent. The only thing I didn't like i would have love to sit out in the patio outside or away from the crowd when its busy....I didn't understand why...

Is San Jose asleep on Mendoza's? I havent heard anything about this place, just seeing it driving past. I'm from Chicago and haven't been impressed with the food in the Bay. Mendoza's is the first Mexican restaurant we've tried that taste like home. This is AUTHENTIC Mexican AND so delicious! Now if we can just find some good queso dip somewhere lol. Definitely recommend this place. We will be return customers for sure.
