Pro: The food was just ok. Service excellent! Cons: They have half the place for smokers. You can still smell that stink in the non smoking area. If i had known that i would never have gone there. But we didn't realize it until we were seated so we just ate and left, Also it's a dump. Sorry but the decor was done by a teenage alcoholic. Never going back. read more

had 2 orders enchiladas tight and side guac. the guac is good, the cheese queso that comes with chipe is very good, better than the cheese dip at tres amigoes in lawton. overall very solid, decent meal for the price. just dont order a mixed drink, there margs are i think nothing bur lemon flavored. i dont knoe if perhaps weak mixed deinks is their business strategy or if maybe the bar keep is skimming alcohol for other purposes, their iced tea is also often vert weak so your best bet is to grab a beer. imo read more

We usually have a great time here and get treated great! BUT ......last week I took my whole family in party of 6. One guests was 10 years old with parent whom we have had in there several times before as it is legal to have a minor in bar/restaurant atmosphere with parent! Anyways, we were so rudely greeted by some tweeker toothless loud mouth little chick that screamed crossed the whole bar....YOU CANT HAVE THAT KID IN HERE! while she spits a giant unicorn vape cloud in my face with her loud stinky breath in my face! She should be fired on unprofessional behavior alone, not to mention the druggie appearance! Not to mention we were going to spend $200 but never mind! Wow! We went to Tu Familia in Lawton waaaay better establishment treatment! #pleasefirethetweeker #superunprofesstional #iwillbtalking2owner read more

Order was WRONG and our server was sent on a 30 minute break 10 minutes after we sat down! No chip refill, or salsa refill, no offer to bring more adult beverages. NADA, even had to ASK for our check. Salsa was good (what we got) food was average.Was later in the afternoon, lunch rush was over so I'm trying to figure out WHY the whole experience SUCKED. read more

Service was terrible 5 minutes to be seated, and after we were seated they brought chips. Well 15 minutes pass still no drinks.. someone asked if we were being waited on, and I said no after another 15 minutes we just left. Ps I left 6 bucks for the free chips also had to brush the food off the chairs before we sat down. read more

Don Jose never disappoints. They always make sure our table is clean and we had chips and queso before we were completely seated. Drink orders were taken and delivered promptly as well as our food order even with all of the tables being occupied. Our order arrived accurately, and our waitress was very attentive to any needs. We may have during our dining experience. I love that the restaurant features a prayer wall that you can add names to pray for. read more

Had horrible experience tonight at Don Jose's. Our waitress was on her own, but tried her best. Other staff were sitting around doing nothing. When check out time came, had to make our requests more than once. Suddenly the waitress came back with the Manager. She said "Did you call me stupid?". We were appalled. No one had said any such thing. Things went from bad to worse. Many words were exchanged. All of it was uncalled for. Have been to this restaurant many times,and have never been so disrespected. WON'T BE BACK!!! read more

We were greeted nicely as soon as we walked in and were asked "smoking or non-smoking". First, I will say that I don't believe I've been asked that in about 20 years and even though I don't smoke, I was happy to be asked. I think it's great that someone would have the choice to do so and I was not offended in any way. There was no smell of cigarettes either. We were seated quickly, chips, salsa, and cheese were brought out and our drink orders were taken. The drinks were brought back and our meal order was taken. Everything was done pretty efficiently, which we like. Then we started having our chips. Most of them were chewy. We realized they had been pulled out of the fryer too quickly and so they had not cooked thoroughly and were still soaked in oil. I took this pic 20 minutes after, so you can imagine how bad the oil was when we received them. You can see that in the pic. The cheese was ok, but the salsa was actually the best I've had in town thus far and even had a kick, thank goodness. That was the end of the good dinner. My hubby got a chimichanga, which is deep fried. It looked deep fried, but when he cut into it, it was soggy like raw dough and it wasn't hot, only lukewarm. My cheese enchiladas were also barely warm and soggy. The cheese was not completely melted in some areas, but melted and congealed in others and barely warm also. I have pics of that also. So the only thing we could think of since the food came out super fast, is that they are pre made and slightly heated? If this isn't the case, we don't know why? We would've asked for it to be redone, but honestly, the taste was not good. It was so bland and tasteless that it just wasn't worth the carbs on my cheat day. I hate to give a bad review because the staff is just that awesome, some of the best in town really, but no, we do not have plans to be back at this time. We tipped, paid and left. read more

All the staff were super friendly. We were seated and immediately waited on. We ordered the lunch portion and it was a ton of delicious food. We both had leftovers that we saved for dinner. Totally recommend. read more

We go to Don Jose's at least once a month. The wait staff is amazing, friendly, helpful and they just go out of their way for you. It is a family, friendly Christian oriented business and they even have a prayer wall, that you can tell them of a prayer request and they'll post it on the wall and then when people come in they can look up the wall and pray for the posting, if they choose to do so. The food is just excellent, and they have specials almost every day of the week. Monday nights, you can get a 100% Angus beef hamburger, with french fries for $7.99 or fried fish, with French fries, also for $7.99. Tuesdays are taco Tuesday and you can get three tacos plus rice and beans for $6.99. Wednesdays are their enchilada nights. You can choose two enchiladas cheese, chicken or beef and you get rice and beans for $6.99 each. Thursdays are beef brisket burritos, with rice and beans for $9.99. All foods come with complementary queso, chips and salsa and they are always very tasty. Often we will go in and have what is listed on the appetizers, as Queso Flameado, which is fajita meat (cheese corn or beef), mushrooms, onions and green peppers. It comes with three tortillas and we always order an extra set. It is enough food to feed my husband who has a very generous appetite, and I and it is delicious. I cannot tell you enough about this place. It's excellent and if you haven't tried it, you need to. You will not be disappointed.! read more

I think its the best Mexican we have in Duncan besides the yellow food truck, service could be better.

good food , clean friendly efficient staff good pricing great swirls give them a try read more

One star because there are no zero stars. Terrible food. Service wasn't bad but not helpful either. The cheese water they bring out is not mixed properly, salsa and thin chips not bad. I ordered fish tacos, yes I should know better. Burnt fried spoiled fish showed up. You could smell the rancid after the frying it took. On cold store bought flour tortillas. Also serve barely cold beer. Hour later I'm suffering the effects of good ol ptomaine! Respect your guts don't do it!! read more

So disappointed this shit was nasty it's my first time eating there I had high hopes cause I really wanted some good ass Mexican food this ain't it will never waste money there again $80 down the drain read more

I've been here a few times and I haven't had a bad experience. To start being ask smoking or non doesn't really bother me at all. I've noticed a few people give bad comments for that alone which it doesn't affect my meal so I'm not bothered by it. The staff seems to be friendly and the service is about average. The food is decent for the price and I really like the ground beef here. So anytime I'm in Duncan Don Jose's is always an option. read more

I had stopped in with my husband and family and truly got the worse service. We have been here before when visiting and always got great service. Today I had ordered the fish tacos and asked for 3. Instead when we got our food after waiting for 30 mins it only came with two tacos and rice. The beans were MIA and there was no cabbage (see picture) nor sauce. I did ask for now quacamole sauce due to an allergy. When asked why there was no beans, the young server just looked like a deer in headlights. Gave a sorry excuse of what happened. Another waitress looked like she was gonna fall over, she had to pull up a seat and sit at the end of the counter trying not to fall. What horrible service this time and so disappointing. I am only giving two stars due to the fact our waiter was a young boy and just trying to learn. read more

Don Jose Mexican Restaurant - Fish tacos minus the other ingredients.... - Mexican Near Me - Duncan, Oklahoma

Being asked if we wanted the smoking or non smoking section should have been my first clue to avoid eating at this place. Who has a smoking section in 2021? The food was mediocre. Our server dropped off our meals and never came back. Our drinks never got refilled. I sat there with an empty water cup for half my meal. I had to track down my check from another server. To top it all off, the pen they gave me to sign the receipt covered my whole hand in ink. The only good part was the chips, queso and salsa we got when we first sat down. Those were yummy. read more

Love don joses, they have really good food and the service is always really good. If I am wanting Mexican food, I usually go to Don Joses. They also have the BEST margaritas. read more

A friend recommended this restaurant because they had it in California. Let me tell you, this was not a good choice. Sub-par service, decor that was gloomy and dirty, and above all: food that was dreadful. The chips and salsa they bring you also comes with queso, which was a nice surprise. The queso was decent, but the salsa itself was overpowering. It wasn't spicy, it tasted like it had way too much garlic in it. The main course for me was chicken enchiladas. First of all, the menu says it comes with a chili sauce. When I got my food and started eating, I noticed no chili sauce. Maybe in the middle? No. None. The chicken tastes off. I'm not sure how to describe it, just didn't taste right. The beans were so salty you couldn't even eat them. Rice was fine, but it's not hard to screw that up. Highly recommend staying away from this place. read more

I bought food in Comanche, Oklahoma. This was the worst food I've ever eaten. I was taking food to a get together. So very salty. We ordered food for 6 people and most servings were in 1/4 cup containers. In Comanche, not many choices and the staff was so friendly. read more

I went to eat there with my husband's family recently. There was a large group of about 15 of us and the service was phenomenal!! Drinks, chips, salsa, and queso were flowing! I'm trying to eat healthy, so I ordered a Chicken Breast, with a side of a steamed vegetable medley and sautéed mushrooms. The chicken was cooked perfectly, and oh so juicy!! The vegetables were just as great! I will definitely return..and often!! read more

This is actually a good restaurant. The prices are a bit high. And some dishes are a little too salty. They have breakfasts on the weekend that are really good. I had a problem once with my pancakes being cold and they immediately heated them up for me. The service is excellent. The only thing I can complain about is the tiles on the floor and the walls are kind of reminiscent of a bathroom. I haven't actually tried their cakes they have in the display case but they look like they are to die for. read more

Was really wanting Mexican food so we chose your restaurant. The last time we were there the food was really good. This time not so good. Looks like you changed owners and you also changed the flavoring of the food. Does not have the good flavors of the previous owners. The breading was doughy on both of our platters.. chili rellenos and tamales. The sopapillas were as flat as paper. They are suppose to be puffy so you can open them up to put the butter and/or honey. The place was busy but we will never go back there. We will drive to Lawton first. read more

I spent the week in Duncan on business. My first night I was craving Mexican food. Upon recommendation, I ended up at Don Jose. The one good part about this restaurant is the free queso. Beyond the free cheese dip the rest was a terrible. Enchiladas were made with flour tortillas! Who makes enchiladas with flour tortillas. The taco was in you guessed it...a flour tortilla. The flauta was a deep fried flour tortilla with some shredded chicken. I almost never complain about food, but when my wife called asking about dinner I couldn't stop telling her just how bad the food was. read more

This is by far the worst restaurant I have ever eaten at in my entire 14 years of life.. I feel bad for the people who came here and received horrible food and service. Please no one ever come here again read more

As usual Don Jose disappoints. If it wasn't for the drinks I would never of been back. Do not order chili verde. It comes out with 5 little cubes of pork and rice and beans. These people don't know what real Mexican food is. What a joke. read more

Deplorable! Having spent 5 years in the marine corps I feel like I'm an expert on bad food. Don Jose's is quite possibly the worst food I have ever eaten. Salsa has the taste of chemicals and everything else on my plate was quite clearly from a can. The ability to produce food this bad is actually very impressive. I would advise avoiding this restaurant at all cost read more

If I didn't have to give it a star, I wouldn't. This place is HORRIBLE! All of the meat tastes weird in the dishes. The best thing on my plate was my salad, you know the lettuce they put on the side of your meal so you can put it in your taco. Everyone at our table did not finish their meals, or bring the leftovers home. The beans were also very salty and everything was under seasoned and tasted old. We were listening to everyone else who was eating there and they were all saying the same things as well and a child was upset because she hated the dish she got and refused to eat it. We will never eat there again. BLEH! read more

I wish I had read the other reviews before going here. It by far was the worst food I have ever had. I ordered a chimichanga with guacamole and sour cream. The guacamole tasted so bad I wanted to vomit. The owner lady also made us feel so awkward having a baby with us. I was told once, you know it's going to be good Mexican food if it has good beans and rice. All I can say is even those were disgusting. read more
