First time here. Food was good. Large portions. We both ordered the jumbo burrito with ground beef and got the 3 tacos on the side to share. Way too much food, but not complaining. The burritos were huge, so definitely didn't need the tacos. Neither of us could finish the burrito. Ate a third of one and half of the other and was stuffed. We did have salsa, queso, and chips before food came out though. Price was decent, about the same as any other Mexican restaurant and the food came out super fast. Overall good experience. Would stop again
Great food and service Love to go there on a regular basis
First time I was ever here I did a pick up order for me & my family. My mother & I both said, “this is the best Mexican food.” I live 44 minutes away, but will be back PLENTY. Can’t wait to bring my best friend. Every single worker was so kind. Thank yall for everything tonight.
Absolutely delicious food and fast service! I got the Street Tacos - Pastor and it was so good! Will definitely try to go here again!
Good service. Good margarita specials on Monday. Got the peach margarita on the rocks, half pitcher. Delicious. Salsa was acceptable. Got san jose special, which was 3 enchiladas (beef, chicken, cheese) with rice. Beef enchilada was ground beef with onions. Different fruition what I'm used to, but pretty good. I'd definitely recommend this place at least for the drinks on Mondays.
They finally got the new sign up outside. It's a little small but it's got the Mexican Flag colors and it's cool. This is one of our go to restaurants in New Philadelphia. The big chimichanga with rice and a side of refried beans were great. Chips and salsa is great. The interior is well appointed and the environment is clean. Service is always great.
El San Jose is an excellent Mexican restaurant. The lunch fajitas are two portions. The price is great. They offer a cash discount. The service is good and the free nachos and salsa are great too. Their decor includes branded carved chairs and really cool booths. We really enjoy El San Jose.
Great food for a great price been many times
