“ Mmm! One of the top 5 Mexican places I've ever been to. Great textures and flavors. Muy bueno muy recomendable ! ”
“ I’ve been dining in/picking up here since 2014. Quality/Service has always been the best! No matter how many other Latin Restaurants I try, I always find myself comparing it to Don Jose. Many local spots have been closing lately and I hope Don Julio’s here to stay for much longer. Thank you for servicing my family and I for 10 years! ”
“ I've been coming here for years and it's never once let me down. The food is great, portions are large (boxes every time), it's affordable and the staff are ALL just lovely! So kind and helpful. Some of the servers are primarily Spanish speaking so you need to make sure they get what you're ordering, (easy enough to just use the menu to order). I HIGHLY recommend them and go here at least once a month if not every Friday night. (Also, Thursdays are Margarita night and they're REALLY yummy) ”
“ I had not eaten here in quite a while since I had moved out of town. The food was very good. I had the Pollo Loco, one of my favorite dishes, and it was very good. The service was excellent. Looking forward to returning. ”
“ Visiting from New Jersey we had dinner with family. The customer service the minute we stepped inside the restaurant amazing, so friendly. As soon as you’re seated they brought over homemade tortillas and dip, they were warm and delicious. We ordered our food , we ate the chips so fast they brought us more and they were also warm and delicious. We ordered our drinks sangria and margaritas so good . They were so nice making sure we were ok while waiting for our food which didn’t take long at all. When dinner arrived plates were hot and food was smelling so delicious. Continuing great customer service checking if we were ok if we needed anything. We had a great time loved everything about Don Jose food,drinks and atmosphere was great . ”
