Always a pleasant night at San Jose. Attentive service, good food, and fun atmosphere - solid restaurant experience for the past 4 years. Great place to take the family.Vegetarian options: Spinach enchiladas are delicious and the chunky guacamole is amazing.Parking: It's a very popular restaurant so their parking lot is usually busy, but we can usually find a space or twoKid-friendliness: We see a few large groups and a good number of families dining together.Wheelchair accessibility: No steps and plenty of tables.

Being from So CA, I really appreciate good Mexican food. I was pleasantly surprised to find such quality level of food on the east coast. Generous helpings of perfectly prepared dishes with all the right fresh ingredients you can request to add to your experience. The service is attentive and proactive seeing to you needs beefier you can ask. The atmosphere is split half sports bar and half dining all with festive decor. The big surprise comes with the check being so affordable.

We recently had a family dinner at San Jose to bid farewell to my brother before he left for the Navy. The restaurant was able to accommodate our large party of 27 with ease, and the service was commendable. The food was served hot and was absolutely delicious, leaving everyone in our group satisfied and happy with their choices. It was a truly great night out, and I highly recommend San Jose for anyone looking to enjoy a meal with a large group in a welcoming atmosphere.

The food was ok, it's Tex Mex style. The drinks were average, the staff was great and well attentive I would say. Overall not a bad experience.

Food was above average which is nice- you never know what kind of Mexican food you’re getting sometimes. Service was quick. Overall we all said we would visit again.Ask for the spicy salsa with your chips if you like heat.
