Downtown San Jose:

I lived down there before they tore everything down and built all the faceless new buildings.

maybe downtown SJ was somewhat run-down then,
but it did have some character.

I used to go to a great hole-in-the-wall type of place:

Don Pedro's
43 Post Street
977-0303

on a recent visit I was surprised to find that it somehow managed to survive everything being torn down around it!

It has a different name now - which I don't remember - but it's the same place with the same food with the same music on the jukebox.

give it a try - it's not a Chevy's/Acapulco/Pedro's.
