El Tule — Restaurant in San Jose

Food is not worth the price. Shady people here. They ruined an exciting food experience for me. They charged me for cheese that was supposed to be on the food, but they had forgotten to garnish it correctly. They chose what tip percentage to charge my credit-card without my consent. I do not recommend you visit this place. Very unfortunate because this was my first introduction to Tacos de Chapulines. That was great. Also, the Horchata with Cactus Prickly Pear was quite interesting. If you are interested in a drink that seems to be created by kids, go for it. I ordered Enchiladas Quaxaquenas. They were delicious. Sadly, they were missing the Queso Fresco that I would be later charged for, and the rice, although it appeared colorful and fluffy, was crunchy raw. Whoever owns this establishment should check on the integrity of their employees. Very...

My parents were born and raised in Oaxaca. They haven’t been back in years, so naturally they were excited to try this place. Upon receiving the menu’s we noticed that there were new prices placed above the previous ones with simple stickers. The menu my mom got coincidentally had a sticker removed for one of the items … they had raised the price by $5. They even blacked out the number of tortillas you get .. which is 3. The price change would've been understandable had the food been good. everything from the meat (we got both Tasajo and Cecina) to the mole were overly salty. wouldn’t be surprised if they sprinkled salt into the hot chocolate. disappointing that this gets passed as authentic oaxaqueño cuisine, those who are trying it for the first time will have a tainted experience. the people were nice...

This is a small, family owned restaurant that has been one of my favorites for years! They are like family to me now. Have some patience. It takes time for the food to arrive because most items are made fresh to order. It's worth the wait. They even hand make their corn tortillas. If you're ever feeling under the weather, they make the best chicken soup. And if you like dishes from Oaxaca, they specialize in mole and I love their Tlayudas! They also have a few secret off menu items that are amazing! If Esme is working, try my Michael Special (named after me) - it's a carne asada supreme burrito with red sauce. I ask for no beans, no rice, but add potatoes and add eggs. It's DELICIOUS!! And it's enough to feed you two or three times. Oh - and if you like a good Michelada or Chavela, they sure do know how...
