$$ San José Spanish

About

This family-run spot is best known for dessert: travelers call it the best in town, with dairy-free ice cream (chocolate the favorite) and the house-made straws people single out. The regular food holds up too, praised for honest quality and portions that match the price. Save room; skipping the ice cream would be the mistake.

Great place to eat

The most amazing ice cream and these straws they make which were my favorite part!. It is ran by a family AND bonus! If you are lactose intolerant this ice cream won't mess with you! It's not made with milk and they will also tell you what is in all of the different ones. I'm not sure if they speak English but most places do have someone that can. My only issue was I didn't like the vanilla ice cream as much but chocolate was fabulous!

This is one of my favorite places not only the quality of the food, but the relation between money.and food size. And the people are very courteous
