Went here to celebrate my son's 21st birthday so he could order his first drink. The waiter messed with him a little and it was funny. Then they brought the food. It was all very good. They did a great job of keeping our drinks full. Then they came out with a large sombrero and sang to him. It was a great dinner.

On our visit we had friendly and attentive staff, and very quick service, even during lunchtime! The cheese dip and salsa are very good. Everything else we ordered tasted great and was perfectly cooked. Definitely recommend trying Taqueria San José!

We saw this place had 4.7 stars on Google maps, so we tried it, and it did not disappoint! 5 stars for sure. The food is absolutely amazing, the chips and salsa are amazing, and the service and ambiance was great. The employees really put customers first. Amazing overall! I got the chicken San Jose burrito, my husband got the molcajete!
