Food was delicious with large portions. Everything was fresh and tasty. Drinks were great with a fantastic happy hour. We were there on a night when the mariachi band was playing. Everyone really enjoyed it. Prices were very reasonable. Burritos were very good and they had options for vegans. All the workers at the restaurant were friendly, prompt, and knowledgeable. Highly recommended will definitely be back!

The decorations are beautiful, but the music was constantly skipping which was a bit distracting. Carne Asada was essentially ground beef, and not at all the taste and texture I would have expected. Granted, I am a little picky from my time in So Cal but this was not what I was hoping for.

Great Mexican restaurant. Service was great. Friendly and attentive. Excellent prices. Far enough from theme parks that it wasn't touristy. Great prices along with daily specials. Highly recommend the chicken nachos and the fajitas. I was in Orlando for a work trip. San Jose's was so good I went with my husband the first night and then back was a coworker a few nights later. I will definitely eat there again next time I'm in the area.
