The food was amazing and the service and environment were extraordinary. On top of being a fabulous lunch, the check was way less than I expected! I strongly recommend this extraordinary restaurant. 💯% satisfied!

I love this place. This is our go to for special days out to dinner with the family. The food is great! Even their more simple dishes or lunch specials HIT THE SPOT. You will always be met with friendly staff, cute decor and excellent music making the atmosphere just perfect. Their sauce and chips are great, and their chicken soup appetizer is to die for. You have to check it out.

We found Jose's during the pandemic and it was some of the best Mexican food around. At the time they did delivery to us almost a half hour away. Eventually, they stopped going so far for deliveries, which was sad. We tried a few places closer that we could get delivery for and... Its just not even comparable. So every few weeks or so we order and drive ourselves over to pick it up. Its so worth it. They have some of the best beans, very flavorful, and I particularly enjoy the tamales. My fiance loves the chile relleños. The guacamole is great, even the chips and salsa is worth it. The staff is so nice as well. If youre sick I recommend the chicken soup, it is so good seriously.

I’m surprised this place isn’t rated a little better! I had the most amazing asada taco here and my partner loved his steak tacos! I will admit the service was verrry slow when I went even though it wasn’t busy in the front. Plus the chips and salsa aren’t very good. The chips taste stale and the salsa had big chunks of green onion in it, which I kind of liked but it wasn’t something I’d eat too much of. But the entree itself and atmosphere were both great.
