★★★★★ 5.0 Steven Scheibelhut · Nov 2025

Really amazing place! The staff is fantastic and very dedicated to your satisfaction. The food is outstanding. The atmosphere is amazing. And no joke, the coldest beer I've EVER had. Im not quite sure how it wasn't frozen. I'm not a super drinker, so "cold" is important, because the Corona are few and far between. But I will have another one when I go back... and we will go back and most absolutely definitely and highly recommend!

The salsa was very good! Just the right amount of spices and heat. I had the nachos and they were delicious but thoseare definitely a shareable meal! Way too much for one person! The server was very friendly and didnt mix up our order but the speed of service wasn't that good. She was not very attentive to our table. The place wasn't that busy so I felt we could have had better service. I will go back because the food was really good!

Great low-key Spanish restaurant. Parking's right next to the door and also behind the building, the inside has the typical Spanish decor/seating/music, it's clean as well as air conditioned in here. Our server Dennis was awesome. He was attentive and explained their specials to us while also making us aware that there're booth seats in both the family part of the restaurant as well as the bar side and they try to accommodate you although there was only two people in our party today they were fine with us sitting where we wanted to. As far as the food, I'm attaching pictures but that beef chimichanga clasicó (green plate in pics) was worth coming back for! My uncle had the beef enchilada, pork tamale and beef burrito he said they were okay however I took a star for the rice and beans just

We had a good experience here! I really enjoyed the tacos. My friends really liked what they got as well. The staff was nice and helpful.

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 David Mohr · Jan 2026

We visited Don Jose’s as part of Savor Fort Wayne, and unfortunately, it was everything but savorable. To start on a positive note, the staff was pleasant and welcoming, and we were seated quickly. Chips and salsa arrived promptly—but that’s where things took a sharp turn. The salsa was disappointingly bland, more like tomato paste than anything resembling fresh Mexican salsa. No bite, no brightness, no cilantro or pepper flavor to speak of. Despite the restaurant being only lightly occupied, the service was extremely slow, which only added to the frustration. When the food finally arrived, it lacked seasoning across the board. When we go to a Mexican restaurant, we expect bold flavors, warmth from peppers, and freshness from herbs. None of that was present here. Everything tasted muted
