Castillo's Mexican - San Jose

I will not be back. Cinco de Mayo experience was lackluster. Crowded, with little airflow (picture everyone eating in one hot room) no privacy. If you are sitting at a table in the middle, everyone watches you and can easily hear your conversation. Music was faint. Took forever for service and taco salad came out burned. Never got a refill on water. $21 for shrimp cocktail $16.50 for a taco salad??? Staff was trying their best, but overall seemed short staffed:

Out of my two item combo plate, only the taco was worth eating, although I ordered shredded beef and got ground beef. The Chile Verde burrito was dry and tasteless. The beans didn't have much flavor, until I smothered them with the salsa that came with the chips, and they were so blazing hot that I burned the top of my mouth.

Food was so bland. I've never been to a Mexican restaurant that doesn't serve rice with their beans! And I ended up getting stomach cramps and diarrhea after eating there. I will never eat there again!!

We actually wanted to go to Bill's Cafe. But it was overcrowded. So we came here. Before breakfast you were here. Very nice place and friendly service. No more for breakfast. Food was amazing. The chips and salsa were perfect for me. Not too hot and sharp.

Wonderful food, good service. I always get the Menudo and streets tacos, fantastic
