Went for my nephews birthday. Service was ok, could have been better but could have been worse. Had 2 beer and the Mexican burger. Talk about delicious...this burger was absolutely excellent! The only thing I took off was the avocado because I've yet to try it...burger patty was so tasty and everything about it was just right. Chips and salsa are also phenomenal. I do recommend! Wish I had pictures and prices but sadly I don't read more

This is our favorite Mexican restaurant in the area. The food and drinks are great. Nice atmosphere and service. Spent Cinco de Mayo here and it was very fun! We come here weekly. read more

We just arrived in the Kenner area to visit with my son and his family, and everyone was starved so we decided to give Don Jose's a try. It was lunch time on a Friday so we were able to try the Lunch Menu. We ordered a couple of Queso Appetizers, and the kids demolished that in no time. The salsa, chips, and queso were all excellent and fresh. The chips were homemade and not greasy like some places. It's a fairly large restaurant with plenty of parking. Once inside, we were greeted and seated immediately despite having a fairly large group. Staff were friendly and helpful. Between all of us we ordered the Chimi-Changa, Combination Plate, and the Chicken and Steak Fajitas. The lunch portions were still enormous, and food was brought home. Everything was fresh and delicious. The food was good, they have a HUGE variety on their menu. The food is also reasonably priced, and we'd go again when we are in the area. read more

I came here for lunch with my friend on Sunday. She had been before and recommended it. They start you off with a basket of complimentary chips and salsa that were pretty good. We both ordered Fajitas and they were very good. I had plenty of leftovers for dinner. Seemed like a solid place for good Mexican food. Our server was very attentive and efficient. The ladies running the front were a little standoffish, but overall a decent place. read more

Lunch with my wife. (yes we out together a lot) Today is Monday July 15, 2019 and we sat down to eat at 11:15AM. We were promptly greeted and seated in a booth. The booth and table were clean and the a/c was on cold. A fresh basket of warm chips and cold red salsa was delivered and we order our drinks immediately. I ordered my typical water with lemon and my wife had a lemonade with no ice. These are served in GIANT cups. I then ordered off the lunch menu and my wife off the regular menu. I had the lunch taco plate ($7.25) served with two crispy tacos along with rice and refried beans. My wife had the chicken mole' ($13.99) also with rice and two flour tortillas. Since she didn't even open the foil wrapper with the tortillas I cannot honestly comment on those. Let us just say this food was nothing out of the ordinary, served luke warm cooked properly. I like my mexican food steaming hot so this missed the bar by several orders of magnitude. The salsa lacked any body or flavor profile and was made as if to please the masses who don't know any better. Shall we say blah? The highlight was the service. Prompt, polite, and efficient. Very pleasant. The lunch plate was a pretty good value for the price but the chicken mole lacked the pizazz a $14 plate of mexican food should have. I would go again but stick to the lunch menu and go early like we did so as to be served with luke warm food instead of cold food. read more

Actually love this place, food and service but the last 2 times we've been here the service has been horrible. Praying it's only because no one wants to work these days but I'll still be back! read more

We love the service we get from Kamila?. She is very attentive and spot on with our service. Our latest visit was no different. Brought good friends of ours with us and they also got to experience the great food and service. This has become one of our favorite places to go to. read more

The waitress was the sweetest, and was consistent on making sure that I had everything I needed and the food was great. I've never been before and I was alone so I definitely was pleased with the service. Clean venue Plenty of parking read more

Great place and service. Food quality is always good, shredded chicken burrito with queso, beans and rice. Also have the Frio cerveza with lime Yes all day read more

Extremely dirty! Great staff sadly operating by poor management. Ordered main dishes and came out within minutes and of course served cold, chicken beef pork all cold. Spoke to shift leader and she offered to place in microwave. Needless to say we left. The restaurant needs to be deep cleaned as your eating with nothing but pure dust and dirty surrounding you and main dish. read more

Hadn't been here in years. Decided to go in for lunch around 12:45pm. Not too crowded, so I was immediately seated. Ordered the chicken fajitas and baaaby everything about them was good! Chicken was cooked just right, as well as the veggies, rice and beans. The server was very attentive but not overly. When I ordered a side of guacamole I just knew it would be a child's portion. Nope, she brought me a grown up bowl full! LOL I didn't have an alcoholic beverage so no comment on that. (I will next time) but the food was delicious! read more

Family friendly Food is very good Service was amazing Parking was a little challenging I like that the managers walk around and check on the tables read more

The margarita was so strong that I started giggling. Polite staff, good atmosphere, fast service. Good location.... ya know how after a long day you are starving and have to find a bathroom? That is why I picked this restaurants had the pork tamales which were good but I would not have been upset if the sauce was a bit spicy. They do advertise as being authentic Me Ivan but the menu is pretty basic. Good food but not great. Nothing special that would make me say... hey when in town I need to eat at this restaurant. read more

Don Jose's Grill - Strong margarita! - Mexican Near Me - Kenner, Louisiana

Before I start typing know that I do not care about paying for good quality food. I recently got two steak tacos. My total was over $10 for the two tacos, nothing extra. Ok... that's fine but, the meat smells like roach and it is hard to chew. In other words, cheap meat for a very high price. I wish we have Habaneros on this side of the lake, Habaneros doesn't just take the money from customers, they put their heart when they cook the meals. So, no more of Don Jose's Grill for me. read more

What can I say, this is my go to place. We love their food because of their portion sizes and the Flavor of their food. I order from here at least 2 to three times a month. Their salsa is the best. Parking can be a problem, but it is worth it. read more

Great fajitas! Great margaritas! Great atmosphere! We ordered the the chicken and steak fajitas for two and it could have fed way more than two! The chicken, fajitas, and veggies were perfectly seasoned and delicious! It also came with two plates of toppings including lettuce, sour cream, guacamole, rice and beans! All delicious! The margaritas were delicious! They also serve a margarita tower that looks like a party waiting to happen! Definitely recommend this restaurant for those loving great Mexican food! read more

First of all , we frequent this restaurant three or four times a month, almost once a week on either Friday or Saturday. We have a usual group of between 5 and 15 people. Usually this restaurant has decent food and service. Well, last Saturday 6/5/21, I ordered Steak and Shrimp, medium rare. What they brought was a well done steak (hockey puck style) and overcooked inedible shrimp. I made our waiter aware and he said he would take care of it. So he cleared my plate and all the other diners at our table. We were ready to go. The restaurant was almost empty, closing and a young lady walked up and said they could cook me another steak. I said it was not necessary as long as they took the dinner off my bill. Well, they charged me. So I paid it. Like I said, we come her almost every week. You would think that might mean something. Not here I guess. I'm not going to say we won't ever come here again, but I will say it will be a long time. (at least a year) They have another Mexican restaurant further down Vets. We'll be going there for while. Don's, it was your business to lose and you lost . It's a shame because be did like the place. SeeSharp read more

Soooo good! Was trying to find an authentic Mexican restaurant near the MSY airport and found this gem. Food was all delicious and fresh. We started with the Mexican starter appetizer that had a little bit of everything. Then as entrees, we had the carne asada and the carnitas (both served with grilled onions). Each plate comes with tortilla, beans, lettuce, tomato and guacamole. I also ordered the premium medium margarita. The margaritas are HUGE. A medium could easily be a large. They really give you your money's worth. We will definitely return. read more

Food and service have been consistently excellent lately. The variety of fresh and delicious margaritas is superb. We tried the Pineapple Mint and the Jalapeño, both so refreshing and delicious! Keep up the great work read more

Great Tex-Mex place close to the airport. Service is pretty great and the servers are very friendly. Drinks are pretty great as well. A great place to stop by when going to / from the airport. Recommend trying the steak chimichanga - they are smothered in delicious but light queso. Also recommend the spicy pork tacos! read more

I love this place for the Molcajete. There aren't many places in town that have it, but this is the best in town!

Food was good. Had a great night. Had too much to drink! Haha! I recommend the mojito: read more

Love the margarita tower! We went for drinks and appetizers and it was all delicious. Will be back for sure

Discovered this gem 3 months ago and have returned several times. Food is always prepared great and fast! Service is friendly. Tacos are particularly good but wife and I have tried several dishes and impressed with them all! read more

The food is good but we recently held my husband birthday dinner there and the service was fantastic! They were more into his birthday than he was. He loved it! Thank you. read more

I thought this place had good food but it does not!!!. The employees are friendly I can say that but the chef or whoever cook does not know how to cook Mexican at all. I order a chimichanga and I decided I wanted to add shrimp. Worst mistake I ever made the shrimp still had the black poo inside the shrimp and it wasn't just one or two it was all of them. I also order some fries, they were saggy and tasted old too, they even look like they have been refried 3 times of how old they looked. Love the customer service but not the food. read more

My girlfriend and I decided to give Don Jose a try after reading the many great reviews from this place. Unfortunately, it did not live up to expectations. Great, exceptional service but lackluster food. We both ordered house margaritas, queso dip and guacamole to start. The margaritas were served in warm glasses with barely any salt on my rim. The queso dip and guacamole was okay. We ordered chorizo tacos each which were the smallest tacos I've ever seen. I didn't realize their tacos were for kids. The chorizo was unevenly portioned and the accompanying beans were gross. Overall, the place has fantastic service but the food needs to be better. read more

The fajitas for two were a good portion and filling! Lots of veggies versus meat. I would suggest getting them and skipping an appetizer so you can fill up on them! read more

Prices have really increased. Found a hair in my salsa bowl and was totally grossed out. Waitress disappeared for a long while and we were without chips after we ordered a large side of queso dip. The saving grace was the margarita, but it's not enough to make me return. read more

Very average. Chips bland. Salsa bland. I ordered the mango salad( stfu I'm on a diet)and it was pretty fresh and came out lightning speed. Cook was on point. Girl at the bar had about as much personality as a cardboard box. Was gone most of the time but did check in on me on a subpar level. I would eat here again if I were in a hurry. read more

HORRIBLE SERVICE! After being seated, we sat for over ten minutes waiting to be greeted and our order to be taken. No one came to our table. But a white couple came in and IMMEDIATELY got service. Never coming here again! read more

100/10 literally my favorite mexican restaurant. their queso is to die for and their cheese enchiladas are the best. they also have amazing quesadillas and fried ice cream read more

Best service I've had in a while! We started with the white queso and guacamole. Both were fantastic. Then I had a taco salad with grilled chicken and it was perfect! I always like to judge Mexican restaurants by their salsa and the salsa here is very fresh, veggie (ya know not just tomato paste) tasting. Salsa 10/10 but mild. Pro tip: you can ask for hotter salsa (homemade) and it's pretty good! read more

White washed Mexican food. You know it's sad when even the tacos were gross, soggy tortillas that taste like ones you get in a bag from Walmart. Just overall disappointing read more

everytime on the menu is to die for! service is always great! the ambiance is always inviting! will be back!

We stopped in on a Sunday eve. Seated and greeted at table immediately. Chips were a little on the hard/thicker side. We prefer thinner, but that just a preference. Salsa was tasty and mild enough for my kiddo to enjoy. We got the spicy mango margarita and the coconut lime margarita. Both were tasty, but the spicy mango comes with a seasoning coated straw (tajin I think?) that was a bit too much. The seasoning being on the rim was great, though, the writing on top was just a neat little touch. Carnitas were fall apart tender, my partner really enjoyed them. Not the best Mexican I've had but still glad we stopped in. read more
