Fantastic Experience at Don Jose’s Mexican Restaurant!
I had an amazing time at Don Jose’s! The food was absolutely delicious — full of flavor, fresh, and beautifully presented. Our server, Natalie P., was outstanding — friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect from start to finish.
Highly recommended to anyone looking for great Mexican food and excellent service. I’ll definitely be coming back again soon! 🌮👏

Food was pretty bland and honestly wasn’t worth finishing. We both got the fajitas and were just disappointed in the lack of flavor in everything.

A go to for margaritas, drinks and chips! Bar area is nice and the bartender is very attentive and makes sure you're good. Food wise, I do enjoy their carnitas plate and their guac.

Nice neighborhood spot
I will always love Don Jose! Chile Relleno on lock and really yummy salsa. We love 🌮🍹
I went there last night for dinner & drinks. We sat down on the patio right away, but left after waiting 25 minutes for service. To be fair, the poor bartender looked completely overwhelmed, and the mgr person there did absolutely nothing! He should’ve come out to see about service. We did ask several times, but were ignored. The table next to ours waited a long time as well! We ended up at JP’S a block away where we were seated, acknowledged and served right away.
I am tired of microwave beans with melted cheese and claim they are authentic Mexican food. No authentic Mexican restaurant serves that. Our cuisine is something you have to have pride to serve it and do the work...like home made tortillas.
