This spot is a quick in and out during early evening time. Clean bathrooms, friendly staff, and tasty sals and tacos! Yum.

Not good. Enchiladas had a sauce nothing like a red sauce and very deep brown in color. Beef taco as most places. Rice as most places. Beans runny and zero flavor.first margarita was good. Second so sour you could not drink it. Instead of removing 2nd drink gave 10% off which didnt cover cost of drink, not drank. Service ok. Very thick chips, if you like that. Was looking for a replacement for my favorite local across the road but this is definitely is not it. Will try Urbana next time hoping for a better local with American Mexican. Tried Mexican in same area as Urbana and didn't care for it. read more

Placed an order for pickup For tamales and steak tacos. Only had one kind of salsa which was the red hot salsa. It was too hot for me so now I'm stuck with overcooked dry steak tacos. Prices are high and food quality was not good read more

Do not let the outside of this place stray you away because the inside is so fun and nicely decorated! Shoutout to Gisele the bartender! Best margaritas and fantastic service 5 star lady! We just went for drinks and queso but I looked at the menu and it's huge! Excited to go back and try the food! Definitely making this my new Mexican spot! read more

Love everything about here! The food! The service and the atmosphere! 5 stars isn't enough for this place!

I wanted to update my review & say 2 things: First, the cheese dip has been getting thinner & thinner it is literally liquid now it is so unappealing. Second: the service there has been slacking. I hope management sees this so they can talk to their waiters. We go often but lately the servers literally just stand in the back right side by the bar & talk the whole time while customers are: waiting for them to check on the food few minutes after drop-off to ensure everything is good & to see if anything is needed, waiting too long for the bill to arrive, ect. I was a server for 8 years myself so I know from experience that is a big no & looks unprofessional. Yesterday during our visit I asked for utensils which I got literally 10 minutes later and not even from our server because she was busy talking to the other servers who just all stand around but instead the bartender, because he noticed we kept glancing over at the servers to get their attention, which they noticed, yet kept talking. Unacceptable. The time before, the same thing happened when they were standing around & we were waiting about 15 minutes to pay and had to walk up to them to ask to pay, right after another table walked up to them about 2 minutes before we did. Management, hope you see this & have a talk with your servers about being attentive & professional, checking in on tables after food drop off then again about 10 minutes later, or your business will attract less people. Sad because the food is great, except the cheese dip which used to be when they first opened. read more

I have ordered Uber Eats from here a few times but today it was not what I expected. Everything was soggy and I have no idea what the burrito was swimming in but it was not like that when ordering before. read more

### Restaurant Review The food was okay; the chicken was a bit dry, but the portions were generous. We did carry out, so the service was standard. We decided to try this place based on my neighbor's recommendation. This location used to be our go-to spot when the previous Mexican restaurant, Chelas, was there, which we loved. However, with so many other Mexican restaurants nearby, we have plenty of options. The location seemed clean, with a nice atmosphere that was comfortable and respectable. read more

Where to begin... Came for lunch on Labor Day. The place was empty except for two other tables. Each with 3-4 people. There were 2 waitstaff. No bartender. For the children: 2 kid's quesadillas with fries, 2 kid's chicken tenders and fries, 3 lemonades, a sprite, and a cheese dip. For the adults: speedy Gonzalez with beans, 3 special tacos, Bahama Mama, Modelo draft, and a guacamole The waitstaff do not seem to be experienced. They looked confused and lost. They also had very tough time with communication. The speedy came out first but it was with rice instead of beans as requested. The cheese on the taco was not warm. The dish looked okay. It was not tasty. It was odd. Unremarkable and flavorless. Then the kids' meals. The chicken looked like it was leftover bits cut off chicken breasts to even the shape. The breading tasted like hush puppy breading and it was tinged yellow. The chicken was not good even smothered in ketchup. The guacamole came out along with the cheese dip. The avocado in the Guac was chunky which the hubby likes. It looked fresh and had a lot of chunky vegetables. The cheese dip was very runny and did not taste good. The tacos my husband ordered never came out to our table, they were mistakenly taken to another table but we only figured that out when the waitress asked the other waitress about them. She said she brought them to another table. Interestingly, the other table didn't refuse them. We never got our adult beverages either. When we complained and stated we just wanted to pay our ticket, the waitress didn't even take off the food or drinks we didn't get. We pointed at the items and told her we never got them, she asked if we wanted separate tickets. Ugh. No! We never got them, take them off the check! She finally did and we paid and left. The place has a nice feel to it, a little dark as there weren't many lights on. Looked clean. The staff were friendly but definitely inexperienced. It's unfortunate. I wanted this place to be good. read more

The carinatas were a B. Service was fast and with a smile, the margaritas were tasty and the tres leches cake was HUGE! We just moved to grayson and will be here often for sure. read more

Good was amazing, service was great and the drinks were the cherry on top ! Loved it!

Pros: not busy on weekdays and open seating. Food comes out quickly and tastes good. Cons: servers not very attentive and they use a tablet/device so you have to repeat your order if they can't enter it in their device quickly enough. Water drips from the AC vents above the tables. We asked for straws and just ended up getting them from the bar ourselves. Our check never arrived and once we stood by the door someone asked if we needed anything. Finally we were able to pay. read more

I got some takeout, just basic mexican fare. The cheese & bean dip was very thin. There was no salsa or extras like sour cream with my chick Q & the rice was dry. The soup was thin & flavorless. Not the best food. The service was good. read more

Finally found our new spot thats close by home. Food, drinks, & workers were great. They have everything you can think of. I totally would recommend Karina! read more

This place is friendly, and the owners really care and listen to their customers. If you are front the SO California area, stop in and tell the owner you are there for a San Diego 2 taco combo with rice and beans. It is not on the menu yet, but you will get real shredded beef deep fried tacos. Just like in San Diego. They are new so be patient. read more

Awful. Minimal effort with service and the food was sub par Ambiance was fine but that won't get me to come back read more

The barbacoa street tacos they were great and juicy I got flour tortillas The red sauce was spicier than the green but it was so good I put it on my side of rice I have to get more of those when I go back read more

Don Jose Taco bar & Grill - Chorizo, pastor, asada, birria, lengua and carnitas mini tacos in corn tortillas - Mexican Near Me - Grayson, Georgia

Don Jose is the best Mexican I've found in this area of Gwinnett. I love the authentic options. Ask your waiter/waitress for recommendations they won't lead you wrong! read more

The facility is comfortable and the staff very friendly. When it came to the food, it tasted good but was cold. The plates are plastic and cold. I would highly recommend they use ceramic dishes so it would help the food temp. The grilled chicken burrito was so dry, it was hard to chew. This place is only 4 months old, so we may give it another try in a couple of months. read more

Need a new place to eat?! This is it. Our very first time in, one of the managers was walking around and explained things in the menu, which has pictures!!! There are items on the menu that are hard to find in surrounding areas like sopas and quesabirras (dip tacos!). They have a gooooood selection of drinks too including my new FAVVVV, the Mezcal Rita! Not a lot of restaurants have Mezcal. I recently ordered the Pollo con Chorizo and the chicken was SO tender! I HIGHLY recommend this place because not all restaurants use true fresh ingredients including handmade tortillas Elotes fan?! Yes. Management knows what they are doing and very informative!! Very cool atmosphere too! read more

Food was amazing as well as the service. I sat at the bar and the bartender gave great recommendations. Get the tacos. Can't miss! read more

If I could give NO stars I would! We were there 5 minutes and our food came out. Who cooks that fast? All of our food was COLD AND OLD. You could tell everything came from the microwave. When I told the waitress she took it back and WARMED it up. The cheese dip was like water. My son's hamburger was so old he didn't even eat it. My daughter's wings were old, dry, cold and burnt! We ordered mojitos and they tasted like sugar water/no mint or rum. Changed that to margaritas and they were even more sweet with no tequila! I had to clean the ketchup bottle off with hand sanitizer because it was GROSS! It was our first and LAST time in. We paid our bill and left our food sitting right there on the table! read more

Don Jose Taco bar & Grill - Worst experience ever!!! - Mexican Near Me - Grayson, Georgia

Decided to check this out today. Living in Grayson for over 10 years. I like Mexican food and very used to it growing up in Texas. Thought it may be good as they offered real Mexican drinks. Ordered draft beer, and a mixed drink. Ordered street tacos, de Barbacoa and lengua que son mis carnes favoritos. Pero. Nunca llegaron. They never came. My wife's food did and I'm patient. Figured they may be understaffed and we were only the 3rd group there at lunch time. My wife ordered speedy. Taco was under heated. She ordered beans but got rice instead. Kids didn't like the chicken tenders as they are chicken strips fried in a thin breading. Not much finger nor tender in them. I never got to eat because my food never came. Apparently it was given to another table I guess. I never got my beer. Staff never realized what was missing as they never checked on us and they were busy taking in new customers. First time I ever left a place hungrier than when I got there. Take your money elsewhere. I recommend Chapo's in Loganville y Cautro Amigos cerca de HWY 78. decepcionado. disappointed. read more

We came on a Tuesday for dinner after noticing the now open sign. There was a Mexican restaurant in this space before Don Jose that my family didn't care for but we decided to give this place a try. We like Don Jose a lot better and will be back! The menu is pretty extensive and felt a little different from most Mexican restaurants around here. We ordered mini tacos, burritos, elotes, and margaritas. We also tried two new dishes based on the staff's recommendation. Everything was really good. My only complaint is that the service was a little slow. We didn't seem to have a dedicated server for our table. There were 2-3 people that we're in and out to take our order and check on the table. Everyone was very friendly and the man who took our order (maybe the manager or owner) gave great recommendations. read more

Ordered on Uber eats and the tacos were soggy and everything was very bland. I tossed it all.

The food was good but the service was a little off. We will be back to try it one more time.

Atmosphere is nice.. I ordered a 16oz frozen mango margarita..came out in a small 8 oz glass. The waitress stated that was 16 oz in that small glass...lol. Showed a large glass on menu, still charged me 12.99.. weird. Food was pretty good. I ordered a fajita chicken quesadilla with grilled onions & green peppers. The onions & peppers were big raw chunks; not cooked at all. They might have been thrown in on top of the grill but not cooked. It was overall ok.:: not sure if we'll go back . read more

Food was great! Manager was out making rounds and checking on customers. We will be back.

Went for lunch during a weekday. Not busy at all but service was still slow. Margaritas are kinda weak for a mexican restaurant. I had the tacos. The beef was dry but the cabeza and pork was good. Rice and beans were good as well. Overall just ok. I like the ambiance tho. They have a cool grass wall for pics. read more

This place is so so good. They have great service and are quick with bringing out my food. I definitely recommend this place if you want some super good mexican food. read more
