“I'm from the Chicago area and am here visiting my daughter. Looking at the Google reviews, noticed San Jose.
Four of us went and we each really enjoyed the meal. Enjoyed it enough that we went for 2nd time a few days later.
Scrumptious, well done food all around.

Parking: Lots of parking but the place was very busy when I was there so spots were sort of limited. That's a good problem.“

“So lucky to live near this restaurant. The presentation of my blackened chicken salad was beautiful and filled with crisp fresh quality produce. The atmosphere is upscale, stylish and bright. My family loves the authentic salsa station. I love the service. Prices are highly competitive but their food is superior.“

“San Jose is the best restaurant in Columbia. If you eat here, all of your dreams will come true. A hungry Burro couldn't even finish their huge and amazing burger.....a dashing senorita couldn't down all of the amazing hit wings....NO JOKE that these things rock and aren't even their main items! My Wife ate Tony's Cheeseteak Torta and her credit score raised 100 points! My son ate the amazing Carne Asada and is now the lead soccer scorer on his team, my daughters ate the Taco Salads and pooped unicorns and rainbows!!!! I ate the fajitas and that night, I scratched off 5 tequila bottles in a row and won the Megamall.

If you eat here, all of your wildest dreams will come true. Their wait staff is amazing, food solid, they have clean restrooms, cold beer, and awesome chips and dip.

Kid-friendliness: The waiters have gone so far as to bake cakes for my kids' birthdays, and they are amazingly kid friendly.“

“I had an amazing dining experience at this restaurant!

Customer Service: The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive from the moment we walked in. They made sure we were comfortable, checked in on us regularly, and were always ready to accommodate any requests. It's rare to find such genuinely warm and welcoming service these days.

Food Quality: The food was absolutely delicious! Every dish we tried was flavorful and cooked to perfection. The ingredients tasted fresh, and you could tell that a lot of care went into the preparation. The presentation was also top-notch, adding an extra touch to an already fantastic meal.

Overall, this place exceeded my expectations in every way. I can’t wait to return and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a wonderful dining experience!“
