San Jose Mexican Restaurant Menu

Sorry, We are updating this restaurant menu details.

  • Joel W.

    Nice, diverse menu and I've never had a bad dish. I've never been blown away by the food either. The price is fair, service good, atmosphere too, can get a touch loud (screaming kids) but never unbearable. Wife says margaritas are pretty good. Better for lunch then dinner IMHO. Good lunch specials.

    While my in-laws were in town, we went there for dinner. The food portions were huge and prices were very reasonable. Everyone enjoyed their meals and there wasn't a complaint to be had. They treated my service dog without any questions. I will definitely go back.

    This is absolutely the worst Mexican food I've ever eaten at. The food is bland and boring. This is not Mexican food! Not even close. We will never be back.

    Fantastic Mexican food with some authentic dishes. Always fresh ingredients and well seasoned. The shrimp fajitas are fantastic, but if you're looking for a hunger fix, try the tornado burrito! Always Good and friendly service. Best Mexican around

    Always enjoy the food. Been going to San Jose for years, but only twice at this new location. The chicken quesadillas are EPIC!!!! So darn good. I normally always have a great experience but last night it wasn't the best. The server was nice, but he seemed really busy. Like overwhelmed. I think they might be understaffed for the level of business they get. This isn't a bad review, it's just that I felt like we couldn't really enjoy our night like we had expected. I wanted another drink but waiter just was too busy. We will be back however.

    food was really good. i got steak burrito and chicken quesadilla. really good food and great service. but don't ask for a side of sour cream. I asked and they charged me 1.15 just for that! expensive for something that should have came with my meal. other than that it was a good overall experience. I would go back

    I had never tried this restaurant because their taco truck pours cheese sauce on absolutely everything! We went to the restaurant and it was very good. The atmosphere was fun and inviting as well. The service was extremely slow though.

    I like to call myself a realistic foodie. I think that to understand the quality of a restaurant you have to take into consideration the surrounding environment. Past experience and comparing food items to those at other restaurants will always be part of my reviews. But to do it justice, I will try to review a restaurant based on my whole experience in the context of its environment ie I don't expect a filet mignon at a roadside burger joint but I do expect a good burger at a decent price. San Jose Mexican Restaurant: I guess the first thing you must know about San Jose's it is a chain Mexican restaurant (I have not seen them outside of the South Carolina midlands area, though). The second thing you should know is that I'm originally from Texas but I will try not let that influence my review too much. The service is very nice and quick on both your order and meal. The more tables they turn the more money they make, so even though you will see large groups this is not a restaurant where one lingers. The restaurant is a good size and fairly clean. It does fill up regularly but I've never had to wait to be seated with a group of two, as always you can most likely get a seat at the bar if you don't want to wait or bother a waiter who has many tables to look after. Let me say that San Jose is so far the best Mexican restaurant (this one particularly) that I've been too since moving to South Carolina. It is a very traditional Tex-Mex restaurant with all the expected choices you commonly find in a Mexican restaurant in the United State. The chips and salsa that arrive promptly after being seated, the chips at times will be warm or room temperature (if they make them on site they don't taste or look it). I would add a little salt and they will taste like any other tortilla chip. The Salsa has good flavor and nice little kick, though not sure if it is made on site, either. The server will bring two bowls out for the salsa to allow for double dip or do any other kind of mixing with queso that you prefer, which I think is a nice touch. The salsa is a puréed tomato base with crushed red pepper flakes and other traditional vegetables and seasonings. The cheese dip is a white cheese and is pretty good, nothing too fancy about it. I've not had a bad or greasy meal here. The tacos are my staple-- the meat tastes very fresh, the rice is dry but flavorful and fluffy (some of the best rice I've had since leaving Texas). The enchiladas will fill up even the hungriest customers with plenty of cheese to go around. The fajitas are good they are done in more stir-fry style with small cuts of meat; they come with plenty of vegetables as well. I have yet to order dessert here mainly because I'm too full after dinner to want to stick around for dessert. This place is very cheap, they will nickel and dime you on some stuff (sour cream, cheese, etc...) but you can stuff two hungry adults for an affordable price, even after tip. In closing, this place gets my highest Mexican Restaurant honor-- the real Texan's Seal of Approval for Mexican Restaurants.

Mexican Cuisine

If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.

Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.

Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.
