Cafe Mundo is an original family-run restaurant in a sprawling converted turn of the century home. Located on a corner in a residential nook of San Jose, Cafe Mundo is popular with locals, who have no trouble finding it behind the massive gate that obscures most of the facade from the road. It's also a favorite of celebrities, who turn up for the famously amazing cuisine. But Cafe Mundo is well worth seeking out for tourists, too, with a lengthy menu bursting with colorful and artful dishes reflecting a range of international flavors, lots of fresh seafood, and daily specials.
