Finally, a new place opens in a spot that’s been empty forever, and it’s none other than San Jose’s Original Mexican Restaurant. Walking in, the space feels open and alive. The staff? Couldn’t be friendlier—they make you feel like they’re genuinely glad you’re there, keeping drinks full and checking in just the right amount. Now, usually, I’m a taco person. But today, I went for the Carne Asada California Burrito. When they say it’s a foot-long, they’re not kidding. This thing was stuffed—beef tinga, Mexican rice, and beans, all wrapped up and smothered in Cheese Dip. Lettuce, sour cream, guacamole, and pico de gallo rounded it out. Big, bold, and a total flavor bomb. My girlfriend tried the Chimichanga, and she was all about it. Picture a crispy, deep-fried tortilla loaded with beef tinga, cheese, and beans, then drenched in Cheese Dip. She said it hit the spot—crisp on the outside, packed with flavor inside. This place is worth checking out. The food delivers, the staff knows how to take care of you, and the atmosphere has that fresh, welcoming vibe.

I would have given this place a 5 star review! But I am extremely unhappy! I was charged 15$ or a small pork tamale with beans and rice! I very politely said something to my waitress. She totally agree with me and said it was not the right one! This is were I am not happy. The manager was sitting 2 tables over and she said she would go talk to him. Instead of him coming over and asking if I needed anything else or to apologize for it he made the waitress come back and give me some lame excuse about when the cook them they are all the same weight but mine shrunk. And they would give me a different one. In the mean time he sat there and didn't once get up to say anything! So if you have read this much what I suggest is that you go down 434 a mile to the NEW Mr margarita! Its great the owners are the nicest guys and they will bend over backwards for you! My opinion of this place is it's over priced and money hungry and very greedy! It's no wonder that restaurant was completely empty! But now I know why! This is a picture of my 6 inch phone case next to the 15$ tamale!!! Absolutely cray!

I was excited to try this restaurant! When you walk in it's beautiful and the environment is enticing. The waitresses are kind and pretty and they see you quickly but unfortunately that's where the charm ended. The rice tastes like instant, it had little peas and carrots in it, maybe like adding vegetables to your rice but I'm only used to that with fried rice I've never had Spanish rice with peas and carrots? I ordered the steak and chicken fajitas and there was no flavor unwanted spicy I wanted savory it felt absolutely flat and until that day I've never had a bad fajita it's like they didn't use any spices my green peppers were probably the best part of the fajitas. The chips were good and the salsa was okay I definitely wouldn't want to take any home. The bathroom was dirty (I hate that) and my spouse had a #7 taco, burrito combo and the green sauce he requested was bland. I won't be returning.

Went today with my mom to celebrate my birthday (my bday was on Monday, the 14th but we came today because our week was busy and we had a party on Saturday) so we came here for dinner and I ordered what I always order: SJ's California Burrito. It's a about a foot long and I get mine with the grilled chicken. It is very tasty as it's filled with guacamole, rice, meat, lettuce and sour cream. It is also topped off with white queso and a tomato slice. After I ate, I was gonna use my birthday reward to pay then the server asked us who's birthday is was and we told him that we were celebrating my birthday and he came back with a Tres leches cake and really big sombrero! They sang happy birthday and we took some funny pictures. Over a good time with good food.

I recently dined at San Jose’s and had an absolutely amazing experience. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. The service was top-notch, with attentive staff always willing to assist. Alba served us and she was phenomenal! Knowledgeable and very friendly. I ordered the shrimp platter and it was out of this world delicious. The shrimp were perfectly seasoned. The portion size was generous too! I also drank a piña colada that was delish. Overall, I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. The food, service, and atmosphere all exceeded my expectations. I will definitely be returning in the future to try more of their delicious dishes. Five stars!

I went here for the first time today because a friend recommended it. I got my order to go and was extremely supprised I got it in an aluminum pan. The service was quick and friendly and the prices are truly reasonable for the amount of food you get. I got the california burrito with carne asada. It was DELICIOUS!! The steak wasnt chewy but cooked perfect and everything that was in it complicated each other very well. Their guacamole is also delicious. Definitely a place to visit. The sign and advertising is a bit small and hard to find off of 434. But if you turn on 434 and West Town Pkwy you will see it on the right hand side.
