El Cuartel de la Boca del Monte, San Jose

I came here because of the reviews below, and it was a Monday at about 7:30 PM when I got there. The place was empty. Once I got inside, I walked through the big door on the left because I saw somebody in there, and was instantly ushered out and the door was shut behind me. I went to the bar/dj area past all the empty tables, and sat at the bar. The music was obnoxiously loud, and it was a mix of Coldplay, '50s slow-dance and tired '80s pop. Depressing. The server was polite enough, and spoke English. I ordered the pork chops with wine. I received a very dry, partially burnt chicken breast, but I decided not to complain because I would need them to call a taxi for me later. I ate a few bites and then the mashed potatoes. At least those were good. I was thirsty and wanted another soda, but I felt very unwelcome there, and the music was killing me, so I decided to leave as fast as I could.

there are so many great people working at this place. the music is good and there is always plenty of room to either eat, dance or have drink with friends. definately reccommend!
