Please don’t waste your time coming to this restaurant. Food was extremely bad. We’re a family of 6 adults. We all have to throw the food in the garbage. We spend and lost $280. Will never come to this place again. Waitress was very welcoming but the food was the worst food I have ever tasted in my entire life. We visited 08/24/22 7pm

This has been one of my favorite restaurants for over 10 years! The food is always delicious and fresh, the portions are very generous, and the service is always friendly. Plus, they have my favorite salsa and chips!

service was great, food was so bland. strangely some things were over seasoned, however. the restaurant was pretty empty when we went at 7 pm. overall a mediocre experience which was unfortunate because we really wanted to love this place.

The restaurant is situated in a small shopping center. It is decorated nicely, Nothing fancy. The food was ok. It could use some more seasoning, having tasted other Mexican food this one did not really impress me. The service was friendly.

Food is not good at all. We were the only people in there, and the service was poor. We won’t be back.

I personally thought the service was incredible. Our waitress was very welcoming to our table and she always kept up how well we were doing with our food or any refills. The food was mediocre, but, some bites were overly seasoned or under seasoned. Other than that, the food was good and I would eat here if there was no other option to eat. If you need a last minute meal, then here is your choice.

I frequent this outstanding restaurant every couple of days as I like the good mood that is unique to this place. The crew is extremely attentive and professional. The service is absolutely rapid. Most important, the food you get is good. I have been there more than once and I was always pleased. The payment is modest. I highly suggest this place to my friends and family.

We’ve been going to Jose’s since they opened in the mid ’90s. We, and our guests, have tried many dishes over the years with great satisfaction. The food is cooked to order with the freshest ingredients, great flavor, and absolutely consistent. Their chicken soup is definitely worth trying – big chicken chunks and veg with yummy broth. I really like the carnitas – slow cooked, tender pork with tequila. The portion is huge, and I get to enjoy it many times over!

If a good meal is what you want, stay away from here. Our meal was horrid. The beans are extremely tasteless and watery. The rice is meat based and served in their vegetarian choice. I had to ask to find this information out. The salsa was watered down and had absolutely no flavor. The burrito was burnt on the edges and very dry. The food was so horrible we couldn’t eat it. Needless to say we will never go back. Do yourself a favor and go elsewhere.
