Michael S.The El San Jose Mexican Restaurant in Lake City, SC is a great place to eat. The food is great and the service is very fast. We ordered from the lunch menu and the portions were quite large. We had the chicken and the steak fajitas and an order of cheese dip. The steak and chicken were both seasoned well and tender. The rice and beans were good and the salsa and chips were very good. They bring mild and hot salsa to the table. The fajitas were $9.50 each from the lunch menu are a great deal. Overall this was a great experience and we would eat here again if in the area again.

Heather ReddIf we didn't live 4 hours this would be our normal weekly stop! They were extremely busy and still made sure we had everything we needed. The price was great, the food was delicious! It is definitely going to be where we go next time we're in town.

Joshua WidenerThis was some really good Mexican food. I did not expect to find this in Lake City. Four of us went in and found the portions to be so much we got to go boxes. Service was top notch. We didn't wait long for any beverages to be filled. And the food was prepared and sent out within 10 minutes. I recommend giving them a try.

Steven JangA mexican in a small city in South Carolina. The food was delicious and cheap at the same time. The waitress was very nice also. We sat outside because no availability inside. However, there were a couple who were smoking next to us and ask if we can moved indoor. She understood and helped us moved indoor. Also, come with free chips and salsa.

Anna K AmendolarePerfectly ok decor and atmosphere. The servers were friendly, if a bit slow (we were there for a late lunch, on a Sunday.) Excellent menu - a huge variety of authentic dishes, chicken, pork, & beef. Plenty of combos to choose from, so you get everything you want and nothing you don't. I liked the mexican food explanation in the menu - very helpful. Hot, crunchy chips came out immediately, with both mild & hot salsa. Food was hot & flavorful. Note: no margaritas served on Sundays.
