San Jose Mexican Restaurant

"I just had the most wonderful birthday here Alexis (Alexius) (Alex) apologies on the spelling was FLAWLESS He was laser focused from the moment of the introduction, seconds from when we were seated Really he made the entire evening There were some issues along the way with the food, though promptly addressed; Alex made ALL the difference on the overall experience I’m actually looking forward to going back I will call ahead to make sure he’s working"

"Ordered to go meals. One was a quesadilla that was supposed to have shredded beef and it had ground beef. Another was a shrimp and pasta dish which tasted delicious but literally came with barely any food in the container which was disappointing."

"When I showed up it was empty. Looked closed. Got my seat. I was squished against the booth had to push the table back. No need to make extra space y'all. The place is empty. Started off good. Salsa was perfect and not too spicy for the gringos. I ordered a number 11 and a side of rice and beans to try a little of everything. The beans hit low on flavor scale... almost straight out of the can. No flavor. The cheese tried to help. But it was too late. They killed the beans. The rice was the same color as my rosy white skin. And you guessed it. Less flavor than a rice cake. My food came. Wrong order. I order chicken and I got beef. But that's normal at Mexican restaurants. It literally almost happens every time. So I corrected him even though I feared retaliation from the kitchen. Food came 2nd time. I had a harder time finding the chicken than a blind farmer at night with no moon. My burrito was empty. My enchilada was skinnier than Penelope Cruz. The taco was mired in the mole sauce they put on my enchilada. (I was expecting enchilada sauce but maybe I'm crazy) Chicken was dry. Sauce was mediocre. I finished my plate but not my rice and beans. (No salvation for the food, "Santa Maria") It wasn't my waiters fault so I tipped him good. I went to get dessert but they wanted 7 dollars for fried ice cream (no manches) so I left. This place needs revision. The 5 star reviews on here are from people who were either drunk or have never had good Mexican food."

"We arrived at San Jose Mexican restaurant around noon. The place was moderately crowded, but the service was quick and proficient. The restaurant decor is cool and the food was delicious! We ordered Shrimp Chimichanga, Beef Chimichanga and Three Spinach Enchiladas. All were amazing and a good portion. My only regret was that I didn't take a photo of the dishes. The restaurant location is in Shallotte, NC. So while you're on vacation at Holden Beach, NC stop by San Jose for a delicious meal."
