Don Jose Mexican Restaurant: Reviews & Ratings
Service was quick and very polite. We ordered veg burritos with cheese, and they were among the best we have had. We just wish they offered tofu or mock meat as an option.
Authentic Mexican Cuisine. The booths and chairs and tables are handcarved and painted. Very colorful and charmingly authentic Mexican vibe. Loved the Tacos Asada and chips and salsa were very fresh and flavorful. Portions to fill a hungry man like myself.
Food is exceptional here and very reasonably priced. Lower than I would expect for quality of food. Fresh ingredients, and cooked to order. Service is outstanding. Fast, efficient, and very professional. For what I could see, is there are only 5 staff working, 3 servers and 2 cooks. Definitely recommend this place to anyone wanting amazing Mexican cuisine and very much worth the travel if you don't live in town.
They had the best rice and beans! Fajitas with fabulous tomato-tasting base. Huge burritos! Margarona was a little weak, but tasty. Always good salsa and guacamole. Genuine, kind staff. Quick service, quality food. Highly recommend. Great place to have in a small town.
We eat here every time we visit emmetsburg. The service and food is always excellent!!! They have never disappointed us!!
Food and service is always excellent. We eat here about once a month and I'd go more if we lived closer. I always get the enchiladas espinacas. The sauce is amazing. Margs are good too!
