I think Chez Jose is the best Mexican restaurant in Portland. During the pandemic I have driven extra miles just to have their food. Please order from them. They are well above par when it comes to cost and quality!!!
Hidden gem!! I’m so glad we found this place. They were able to make the squash enchiladas dairy-free for me and they were absolutely delicious — so flavorful and satisfying. I also had a mezcal margarita that was SO good.
The staff was incredibly warm and friendly, and Sheila is an absolute sweetheart. It has that wonderful neighborhood-restaurant feeling where you feel genuinely welcomed and taken care of. Great food, great drinks, lovely people. Definitely...read full review

Chez José is a popular Mexican restaurant known for serving great food and friendly service. The chips and warm salsa are still a highlight, and the Lime Chicken enchilada remains a favorite with its balanced flavors. The atmosphere is very comfortable, making it a nice place to relax. The restaurant offers an impressive selection of tequilas and delicious dishes like the butternut squash enchilada plate, which continues to be a standout. The chicken chimichanga Verde is also a popular choice. While the menu has been slightly modified under new ownership, many longtime guests appreciate that the recipes have stayed the same. Some customers miss the warm salsa and certain items like the goat cheese quesadilla, which was a favorite. Despite these changes, the staff and service remain excellent. Chez José continues to be a great spot for brunch or dinner, offering good food in a welcoming environment and remains a must-visit destination in SW Portland.
