"Fuimos pronto para comer tranquilos y ha sido una idea genial, ambiente familiar y cercano. El trato es excelente y la comida espectacular. Huevos con jamón, chuletitas de cordero y cochifrito. Las chuletitas a la brasa justo en su punto y jugosas, una pasada. El cochifrito con un ligero toque a ajo muy bueno, jugoso y crujiente. Una venta de las de toda la vida en las afueras de Ávila, merece la pena comer aquí. Tienen bastante sitio para aparcar."

"Siempre he disfrutado visitando el Restaurante Venta San José con mi familia. Es nuestro lugar de referencia cuando se trata de degustar las patatas revolvonas, el cochifrito y, por supuesto, su exquisita carne a la brasa de leña; para nosotros, sin duda, son los mejores de Ávila a las afueras. En nuestra última visita, nos llevamos una grata sorpresa al ver que han renovado el lugar. El diseño y decoración actuales ofrecen un ambiente aún más acogedor y atractivo. Pero no solo el ambiente ha mejorado. Nos topamos con una adición en el menú que nos dejó encantados: el timbal de mollejas. Este pedazo de plato, compuesto de patatas fritas caseras, huevos fritos y mollejas guisadas, fue una explosión de sabor y autenticidad. Una joya culinaria que refleja la esencia de la tradición gastronómica de la región. En resumen, el Restaurante Venta San José sigue consolidándose como un referente gastronómico en Ávila, no solo manteniendo la calidad de siempre, sino innovando y adaptándose a los tiempos. ¡Altamente recomendado, especialmente el timbal de mollejas!"
