    Enchiladas plate, chips salsa, Homemade Horchata & Flan
    Yvonne m.

    I will be back hahah, enough said! My friend and I had the same order as we have been on the hunt for some good Mexican food. Being from California it has been very hard to find real authentic food. Don Jorge's enchilada plate was delicious!!! I also ordered a Birria Taco, Horchata and Flan. The only thing I would've changed was asking for a plan flan with no whipped cream. See ya soon Don Jorge!

    This place is as close to authentic as it gets with the food. Definitely come try them and give it your own opinion.

    Chilaquiles & Burrito
    Diego L.

    Visiting from out of state throughout the entire drive I was looking forward to authentic Mexican food! I was craving chilaquiles for breakfast/lunch. They absolutely pleased my taste buds. The service from our waitress Esmeralda was like no other, who took care of us like family! We will be coming back for dinner! Thank you for making our first meal in Texas a great experience!

    The tagline for Don Jorge's is "we treat you like family" and they definitely lived up to the expectation. The only thing that surpassed the delicious food was the incredible hospitality. We will definitely be back!

    Rajas con queso (mild peppers with cheese, onions)!!! Very good!

    Always hesitant to stay in a restaurant after walking in and finding it pretty empty. Glad we stayed! From the homemade limeade (this ain't your Minute Maid ladies and gents!), to the rajas con queso gorditas, Don Jorge did not disappoint. It's in Pleasant Grove and out of the way, but if you're in the area looking for cheap tires next time, try it out!

    The food was so amazing I'm so glad I found this spot! Try it and you won't regret it! The black beans with chips are just a cherry on top of a Sunday! Love love love this place! Not the prettiest looking restaurant but like me and my husband say those are the best ones

    Two corn flour tacos with fajitas.. Jorge burrito with fajitas and Diablo sauce!  everything was excellent.

I was celebrating my birthday here since I've heard great things about the food choices. I ordered shrimp tacos, my family got fajitas and it was pretty decent. Towards the end of dinner, our server was super attentive and brought out a shareable dessert. I believe it was a churro cheesecake which was delicious.

    The short of it--food was fine, but certainly felt overpriced for what we ate…read more Long of it--Sat outside and it was nice. Here in Texas, chips and salsa are such a commonplace experience it's off-putting to pay for them. We ordered the guacamole and the chips and salsa come with it, so that was, I guess, better...but the guacamole was $16, so there's that. The salsa was tasty as was the guacamole, but again, for the portion it's really not worth it. We had the queso flameado, which was yummy and the flour tortillas are good! We split the sirloin and were underwhelmed. For a grilled meats place the steak was very under seasoned and wasn't giving us fresh hot grilled vibes. Meh at best, as were the rice and beans. We ordered elote as a side and it was really the best thing we ate. Service was friendly and efficient! Cocktails average $16ish. Again, for the prices we expected better.

    Our friends found this spot and it was such a great find! The vibe is amazing, nice decor, great…read moremusic, good service. We hung out comfortably and had a couple of drinks before heading out. The food is amazing!! Obviously every dish is meat based here and it's cooked to perfection. Seasoned deliciously and very tender. The garlic mashed potatoes were smooth and tasty. We also ordered Chicharrónes and guac. I'll admit I was very skeptical about The Chicharrónes because they're either cooked right or they're not. They got it down here. Everything was cooked exceptionally well and delicious. 10/10 recommend. Food and drinks are great!

    Came in on a whim on a Friday night around 9pm with no reservation. We were instantly taken aback…read moreby the ambiance here. My wife and I agreed it felt like we were back in Mexico City. Chris our server was very friendly and knowledgeable. He took his time walking us through the menu and explaining what made El Carlos Elegante so special. The drinks were perfect. My wife loved her Desert Flor while I thoroughly enjoyed my Modelo Micheleda. Her Surf and Turf one hitter was exceptional. I have to say my Crab Cake was just ok. It tasted a little pasty and very heavy on the bread. The Pulpo was absolutely amazing. Perfect texture and the sauce it was served almost had me licking the plate. The El Machete was incredible from its presentation, to the freshness of the corn tortilla, to the quality of the meat inside. Definitely recommend this. We really liked our Okra + Shishito course, we just wished it had more okra in it. The two things I loved about the Al Pastor was of course the sauce it was served on but the fact that I got to enjoy it like a steak. It was served sliced on a bias like flank steak. Typically Al Pastor is finely chopped and served in tacos and burritos, so this was a different eating experience for me. And of course it was delicious as well. We cannot wait to come back and try more of the menu.

    I was genuinely excited to bring my friend here for her birthday after such an incredible…read moreexperience back in December. That visit checked every box -- the food, service, ambiance, and overall hospitality were all exceptional. What really stood out to me then was the attention to detail. I had casually mentioned that one of my cocktails wasn't quite my taste, and Harry personally reached out afterward to say they'd gladly adjust it next time. That kind of thoughtful follow-up leaves a lasting impression and is exactly the sort of hospitality that elevates a restaurant experience. Unfortunately, this recent visit felt like a completely different restaurant. We decided to do a combination of à la carte dishes along with the Experience menu after being told this version would feature entirely off-menu items, which genuinely intrigued us since Ihad also done the Experience previously. At the start of dinner, we were asked about allergies and dietary restrictions. I clearly explained that I have a mango allergy and do not eat beef. Our server then asked whether I ate other meats, and I clarified yes -- and even specifically mentioned that if the machete dish was beef, please still include it because my friend could enjoy it and I really wanted her to try it. He confirmed it would be the sirloin version, so we happily agreed not to modify that course. So imagine our surprise when one of the first dishes arrived dressed with a mango vinaigrette. Thankfully, we barely caught him quietly mentioning "mango" as he set it down. We immediately looked at each other thinking, "Didn't we just discuss the allergy?" It was disappointing, but unfortunately also representative of the overall service throughout the evening. Our server seemed disengaged, inattentive, and often not fully listening. Empty glasses sat untouched, opportunities to order additional items were missed, and at one point we were simply handed the check without even being asked if we wanted anything else. We also ordered a bottle of sparkling wine and ended up pouring it ourselves for most of the evening because our glasses were rarely refilled. I completely understand not leaving the bottle tableside if walkway space is limited, but repeatedly needing to get up ourselves to retrieve it felt out of sync with the level of service one expects from a Michelin-recommended restaurant -- especially at this price point. Then came the machete dish. Instead of the sirloin version we specifically discussed, we received the vegetarian potato version. When the server asked how it looked, I politely explained that we were disappointed because he had specifically told us it would be the sirloin preparation. At minimum, I would have expected another protein substitution given the earlier conversation about what I could eat. I'm also still unclear whether the Experience menu was truly "off-menu" as described, since several dishes -- including the halibut -- appeared familiar. Had that been communicated differently, we likely would have skipped the Experience altogether and simply curated our own meal. At the end of the night, spending over $500 while pouring our own wine, nearly being served an allergen we explicitly disclosed, and receiving dishes different from what was promised made for a deeply disappointing experience -- especially after such a phenomenal first visit. It honestly felt sad more than anything because I know how wonderful this restaurant can be. I'm not sure what changed in the last five months, but the difference was significant.
