Eat San Jose Project
The City of San José is one of the most diverse metro areas in the country. You can easily discover this through the array of diverse languages overheard in almost any part of town, the multitude of ethnic grocery stores scattered throughout, or our favorite, the diversity of cuisine. The Eat San José Project aims to highlight the richness of San José’s immigrant community & the dynamism of their entrepreneurship through the common medium of food.
The story of every entrepreneur is unique, just like the stories of our immigrant community members. Check out our series below to learn more about the amazing cuisine from all over the world that’s been brought directly to our doorstep and the unique stories of those who have decided to call San José their new home.
This map provides information on restaurants in and around San José serving international cuisine. Cuisine is grouped by country and continent based on United Nations-recognized member states and UN continental designations. We also have restaurants based on regional cuisine and fusion cuisines.
Click the continents in the legend to filter locations on the map.
