Located in a strip mall across from the old IBM plant, Castillo's Mexican Restaurant is a true local favorite in the South San Jose area. It draws a healthy lunchtime crowd from the sizable workforce in the area and is known as a convenient and inexpensive spot for families to dine in the evening. The restaurant offers a wide array of intriguing house specialties. Some of the best items include the Pollo Bravo (a tender boneless chicken breast marinated in sangrĂ­a sauce) and the Camarones Empanisados (breaded shrimp served with fresh avocado). There's also a fine fish taco plate and a first-rate rendition of the classic chile relleno. Castillo's is a popular destination in the morning for Mexican egg dishes and other breakfast items. Service is very friendly.
