Don Jose Mexican Restaurant East Hanover NJ

The moment you walk in, the décor is bright, colorful, and cheerful—it gives off great vibes for a relaxed dinner out. Chips & salsa are a strong start.

The only bad thing about this place is how hidden it is, tucked into the corner of a strip mall. More people should know about this place.

First impression with the chips and salsa was a disaster. The chips have some burnt flavor and salsa doesn’t taste good. I asked for spicy salsa and they put jalapenos in the normal salsa. They don’t serve enchiladas with sour cream and lettuce. The beans are not good. The rice is avg Totally the place is not worth it. For any small change they charge.
