Service was great and they got me in early. I felt good after my massage. Well worth it!!!!

I had never been to Don Jose's before, and I wanted to try a new Mexican restaurant in town so we landed here. I ordered the Taquitos Mexicanos, as I hadn't seen that on the menu of any other mexican resturant I had been too. It was pretty good! The tortillas were really crispy, though I do wish it was less greasy/oily inside the actual meat, but the guacamole in the middle balanced it all out. The rice was kind of bland, but still pretty good. Would definitely come back again if I am ever craving taquitos!

Avoid the bean burrito. Otherwise, the food seems to be good. The bean burrito, though, is an icky, sloppy mess.

Unsanitary, server had his bare hand in my food no gloves on, first brought out the wrong food than took it back and gave it to the right person after it was already touched, food was okay not the best

We are newer to Arkansas & have been here twice over the weekend, the food is comparable to where we are from, which has been difficult to find in Jonesboro! Hands down the best Mexican food & this place is underrated. Our server is fast, the food comes out fast & is delicious! We will be back!

Don Jose Mexican Restaurant on Wilkins Avenue has been a family favorite of ours for years, and for good reason. It’s one of those places that makes you feel right at home the moment you walk in. The staff are always incredibly friendly, welcoming guests with genuine smiles and great service that never feels rushed, even during busy times.

The atmosphere is casual and comfortable—perfect for a weeknight dinner or a weekend family outing. What keeps us coming back, aside from the warm hospitality, is the consistently delicious food. The chips and salsa are always fresh, and their salsa has just the right balance of flavor and heat to keep you reaching for more.

One of my go-to dishes is the DJ Special. It’s a great combination plate with a bit of everything, and it always hits the spot. I like to customize it by adding grilled pineapple, which adds a perfect touch of sweetness that balances out the savory flavors beautifully.

Over the years, Don Jose has maintained its quality and charm. It’s the kind of restaurant where the staff remember you, and the food never disappoints. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a solid, family-friendly Mexican meal.

Don't order vegetarian, anything from here. Tasted like they put hotdog's in the beans for it 🤢. I can't believe how bad it was.

This is some of best food I've had in Jonesboro. The atmosphere isn't too loud and it's honestly very homey. The staff was extremely friendly going so far as to help a mother when her baby dropped her bottle at a table next to us. The food came out rather quickly which might sound like a red flag to some people. However, this is the best Mexican food I've ever eaten apart from the actual Mexican food I ate in Mexico itself. I got the tacos de Carne asada and my girlfriend got the beef chimichanga. Beef in my tacos with seasoned perfectly complimenting the onions and cilantro along with the lime juice. My girlfriend's chimichanga, however had a slightly different seasoning going more for a chili style which was a welcome addition. Overall, I will be getting her again to try more of their exquisite menu.
