San Jose Mexican Restaurant - Chicken enchiladas, chicken fajitas, queso dip - Mexican Near Me - Valparaiso, Indiana

As of the date of this posting, I have been here twice, and soon to make my third visit. So far, my go-to item is the "Fat San Jose burrito". I absolutely love this thing! They have good food and recommend giving this place a try. Be aware though that they are in a very small strip plaza, and the parking lot is very small, they get very busy at times and there is no place to park. read more

Eh! This place gets a lot more credit than I'm willing to give it. Maybe because Valpo isn't known for good Mexican, so it can easily fit in with the others. We had the typical combination foods you can get at places like this and it was typical taste. Eh! Service was odd. I say that because if they offered to bring you something, you never got it. Or if you needed something like silverware (kind of important for eating Mexican), you had to ask several times. The place is small and crowded as everyone is trying it. Give it a few months and I think there will be plenty of room with no wait. read more

San Jose Mexican Restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Valparaiso, Indiana

Food was excellent. I had the fajitas dinner which was delicious and the portion was quite generous. Our server, Max, was absolutely wonderful. He checked on us frequently and it was obvious he truly enjoyed his job and took pride in what he was doing. On a scale of 1to 10, with 10 being the highest, I would give the food and service a 10+++! read more

Whexican food, ketchup salsa, flavorless food not real mexican like most in Valpo. Had the tacos canf mess that up but just not not good. We need a real Mexican restaurant not this step up taci bell places i get it u have to cater but thoa just makes u a sell out and a taco bell. read more

Love this place. My only asks are that they put a mole sauce on the menu even if it has to be a premade one.

Max gave us excellent service. Food was great!! Will definitely return there when in the area.

Bartender brought menus then asked what we wanted to drink right away. Said water and needed a second to look the menu over. He was very busy with a full bar, but when he returned and I tried to order my margarita, he gestured to my water and said no food. I gave him my drink order and food and then I was immediately his enemy for no good reason. He was very rude and dismissive the remainder of the meal. Don't worry he got me back when he put no alcohol in my Margarita. Chips tasted like doo doo and my enchiladas were mid. Worst part of all, someone in my party order pozole soup and got salmonella poisoning. Told a colleague about it and before I said what restaurant, they said "was it San Jose's?!" Apparently same thing happened to their friend at this restaurant. Never returning! read more

San Jose Mexican Restaurant - Mango Margarita on the rocks - Mexican Near Me - Valparaiso, Indiana

Best place to go for taco Tuesday! Other entrees are good also. Service is excellent never. Wish there wasn't a surcharge for card purchases. read more

San Jose Mex offers a selection of your standard fare similar to Fat Burritos. The service was terrific and attentive. Plus the food was fresh and fast. The decor is nicely styled and it looks like a lot of people find this place but I give it three stars for now read more

Very tasty food with large portions. Nice ambiance as well. And if it's your birthday, they'll give you a sombrero to wear while the staff sings to you. Some people may not think much about that, but I think it's a pleasant touch. read more

Recently visited, and wow what a great restaurant! Fast service and Max our server was so friendly! We ordered Tacos for Taco Tuesday and they were delicious! Cute decor, very clean. Will definitely be back and highly recommend! read more

Promptly welcomed and seated upon arrival. Our server, Max, brought waters and took drink orders. No rush, which was good for the 4 of us. Placed our orders and visited. Lunch came and it was stellar! The burrito was huge! No one left hungry! The service was the best we've had in a long time! Not too loud. You could actually hear the music. We will definitely be back! Great experience! read more

Tried this spot today cause of the great reviews and I'm sad to say I was extremely disappointed. There are much better Mexican places in Valpo than this spot. I've never had a taco with more onion and cilantro than meat. Guacamole was bland and seemed to be mixed with sour cream or some type of spread. If you're looking for authentic Mexican food this isn't your spot sadly. Won't be returning. read more

San Jose Mexican Restaurant - San Jose's fabulous wait staff with our grandson Trent - Mexican Near Me - Valparaiso, Indiana

I ordered the taco salad with pork. The pork was so greasy, and had ZERO flavor. The quality of the meat was disgusting. I also ordered a frozen mango margarita. El Saltos has better mango margaritas. The service was good but I will not go back. read more

Chips were good and salsa was underwhelming. The chimichanga was great but the rice was meh. The frozen margarita was sweet and strong, might wanna try on the rocks next time. The waitress was awesome and the restaurant decor was bright and fun. read more

Promptly greeted and seated. Drink orders taken and delivered. Our server took the time to explain some of the dishes to us. He even assured me the kitchen could make my dish less spicy. And they did! It was a busy lunchtime, but the 4 of us easily conversed and enjoyed our surroundings. All of us absolutely enjoyed our tasty lunches and I even had lunch for the next day. A great lunch for all! read more

Food and service were perfect. Margaritas were just as delicious too! I love that the food and interior decor have connections to the owners hometown in Mexico! Amazing, our family will be back soon. read more

First time to visit this restaurant. I'm a very picky eater and Mexican is by no means my favorite. But this place had 4 things on the main menu I would order. Coke products a real plus. Service was great! Taco chips were not greasy! My Mar y Tierra was really good. This is one Mexican place I will go back to! Beans and rice were also great! read more

We have been there twice and both times it was excellent. Has steak fajita quesadillas the first time and just steak quesadillas the second time. Both were excellent, but I really like the regular quesadillas. Margaritas were excellent both times. This is our new go to Mexican restaurant in valpo. Service was excellent and fast. There were four of us and everyone really enjoyed the meal. Hope they keep it up because it was good. read more
