In the heart of San Jose exists a 54-year old falafel stand. It has delightful murals and delicious everything. Guy Fiori's visit is memorialized in the murals that cover the walls of the outdoor eating area, as are the Nijmeh family that owns the place. It's simply called Falafel's Drive-In, and it must be seriously bustling when you can sit at one of their picnic tables, before the coronavirus messed that up. Today, we settled for take out.
We were in San Jose to run an errand, but we drove around too. We stopped in at Rollo's Donuts, established 1985, (also highly recommend) and while getting lost, saw some wonderful Victorian homes, mixed in with houses slapped up in the 1970s. My observation: San Jose is reasonably priced (for the Bay area), immigrant friendly, and a nice mix of old and new.
