Ordered the large Menudo for dinner and it was served with bread, onions and limes. It was spot on with a little hint of spiciness but was cooled down by a cold Pacifico. Service was excellent and made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our dinner. If you haven't given Jorge's a try, we'll let just say you're missing out. read more

Jorge's Cafe - Large Menudo - Mexican Near Me - Odessa, Texas

Real good Mexican can be found in Odessa on a cold November night, in a strip mall. Jorge's fit the bill for me, kinda tricky to find, especially in the dark coming the opposite way on the hi way and your gps telling you it's in the middle of the road and all you see is a GIANT SUPER TARGET. Then after searching realize it's in an "L" shaped strip mall across the hi way from said Target. Inside it has lots of Mexico decorations and playing low Spanish music, sports on the bar TV but using CC, no volume. Comfy table and seats. Warm tostadas served up with a slightly spicy salsa. Very good. I got the combo plate with 2 enchiladas and two crispy tacos, rice and beans. I got one cheese and one beef enchilada and charro beans in place of refried. And a glass of tea. Every bite was delicious. Just what I was hoping for, good use of yellow and white cheeses. Beef enchiladas and tacos stuffed, I mean STUFFED full of perfectly seasoned ground beef. No cheating with potatoes mixed in here. The cheese enchilada had just the right amount of cheese to give a cheese pull when I cut into it. The charro beans warmed the cockles on a chilly night . The rice was well seasoned and very yummy. How can I get you to move or open a location in EL PASO?!!! I miss Tex-Mex so much! Service was excellent, friendly and quick. My tea glass never fell less than half full without being refilled. If I find myself back in Odessa craving Tex-Mex, I will definitely be back. read more

One of few Mexican restaurants that do an excellent job on service the minute you walk thru their door and the taste of the food with spices not like many other restaurants that have bland tasting food - the waitresses are exceptional - only about 3 or 4 Mexican restaurants are great in Odessa and this is one of them read more

I love the food and drinks here. The staff is friendly and they remember you when you return. The frozen margaritas are fantastic!

In my opinion, best restaurant in Odessa! Service is always good. They have the best margaritas and salsa. Everything is good here but my favorite is the El Laredo, roast beef flautas with roast beef sauce. read more

Never going back...not what it once was. Seated next to screaming kids with parents that found it amusing. Time before got a rock mixed with the beans. No apology. No wonder they are only open a few hours a day. Adios forever! read more

Food is always hot, tastes good and I love their naked chili relleno. Good place to go eat. read more

Great local Mexican food. The food came out so fast and was delicious! I got chicken fajitas and the queso.

The barbacoa was like shoe leather! I wanted to send it back but they were just too busy. Our waitress was wonderful. I won't be going back.

Forgot just how great this place is. Hadn't been to Jorge's in a few years but I'm glad I came back for a visit! Seated as soon as we walked in, received exceptional and friendly service from Krisandra along with great recommendations. My friend ordered the carne guisada and I had the chile verde plate. Both options were amazing, the salsa had a great spice and it was delicious so I could not stop eating it. Margaritas taste the same as just about any other Mexican restaurant but do the job. I'll be visiting this restaurant again soon. read more

Jorge's Cafe - Chile Verde Plate - Mexican Near Me - Odessa, Texas

This place was definitely good. I ended up ordering their Loco platter which included a chile relleno, beef fajita, ground beef taco, and cheese enchilada with rice and beans for $14. A ton of food and not badly priced. The beef fajita was probably the best. If I ever came back, I'd probably just get the fajitas to be honest. The service was great. Super quick and attentive. The I ended up drinking a Michelada with Dos Equis and it was made well. I would definitely recommend this place versus some others in the area for sure! read more

Great Mexican food and drinks. Excellently made chile rellenos. Service is good. Like the environment. Good rice and beans. Chips and salsa! read more

Avoid this place like the plague if you like mods on your food. I went in today with my father to eat. I ordered the combo nachos. So I expected only beans and ground beef on my nachos. Well it came with jalapenos and onions which were not mentioned on the menu with it. When I explain I am allergic to onions that I would just like cheese nachos instead. They said and I quote "There is nothing wrong with the nachos we are still gonna charge you for them." Like who does that. If there is something wrong with the food you fix it. But not at this place. They charge for the mistake and did not even try to reslove the issue. Then they say tell me I am being disrespectful for not eating their food? To hell with this place. I will never eat here again and I advise everyone to avoid this place if you value your money. They charged us 40 bucks for food we never ate. If you want real Mexican food go to Garley's where the food is better the prices are cheaper and you actually get good service. Jorges is the worst place in town to go eat. read more

Every single time we have been there, we have not been disappointed. I love their nachos and their quesadillas are very good, as well as their chips and salsa. The wait staff is very attentive and at the top of their game. read more

Food was great ! Clean and relaxing atmosphere. Server very attentive and fast. Would recommend

Great place to eat. Get in and out quick. Good food,good service,good price. I always order green sauce when they bring chips and house salsa. The green sauce is good and spicy. Usually order 2 crispy tacos and 2 red cheese enchiladas with a fried egg on top. Good stuff! Tacos are always good with fresh fried tortilla shells. Good place to eat. read more

The best Mexican food in odessa if you ask me! The loco is my always go to plate! Service is always pretty much spot on.

Used to be my number 1 stop in Odessa. An absolute favorite of mine for most of my life. Now they're never open. Why? I have literally given up on trying to eat there. read more

Was recommended by a friend that lives in Midland. The food was decent. I ordered the Loco combo dish. I think the price for the platters are a little on the high end, however the waiter was very friendly and prompt. The only downfall is I didn't know restaurants still have smokers. It was very hard to eat with the smoke smell even though we sat on the non smoking side. read more

Jorge's Cafe - a plate of food with a burrito - Mexican Near Me - Odessa, Texas

Love this place. Been going there for about 25 years. They were in a different location when I was younger. Love that the 42nd location has had the same management, bartender and waiter for years. That says something. The food is amazing as always and Kevin makes the best drinks. read more

Just ate here 10-8-23 my advice is skip the beef fajitas and order the chicken as the beef was very thin I guess skirt steak as some was just tough - best advice i can give is go to Los Corporales for the BEST BEEF - CHICKEN fajitas in all Odessa as the plate they give is BIG and delicious as they haven't lowered themselves serving a cheaper meat to make a bigger profit read more

Jorge's has been one of my all time favorite Mexican food restaurants since I was a kid, and is one of my first stops whenever I'm in town visiting family. Every time I come back it tastes like nostalgia, and it's delicious. The restaurant ambience is authentic Tex Mex, and has the feel of a place that used to allow smoking at the bar, because they did. They have a few small TVs at the bar and other sitting areas, but wouldn't be my first choice to strictly watch a game. The salsa is fresh, has a slight kick that builds, and is made to be consumed in mass quantities. Salsa is paired chips with a good fry without being oily, and friendly sprinkle of salt. The Número Uno lunch special is my go to at all times of the day. 2 combination burritos smothered in light and creamy queso with side of beans and rice may very well be in top contention for my last meal request. While you're there, you should also imbibe an authentic Tex Mex margarita, especially since the large comes in fishbowl sized glasses. I implore all gustatory warriors to journey to this West Texas gem. read more

Order the Pescado a la Parilla (grilled fish). A+++ Give it a try ! You won't find this on the menu, but trust.... they serve it ! read more

Jorge's Cafe - Pescado a la Parilla (grilled fish) - Mexican Near Me - Odessa, Texas

The food is very good, I've been eating at this restaurant for years at the midland locations. Sad they are no longer there. The food is delicious. The chicken fajita burrito and quesadillas are the best I've found in Odessa. read more

As expected, Noel greeted us with chips, salsa, we ordered drinks and a small queso and got in 1-minute. Drinks in a couple minutes. We ordered Beef Fujita's, Lengue Plate cabasa tacos, chicken and bean burrito. We got in 12-minutes, the Best, as expected carne Asada, Lengua, cabasa..amazing. The kicker is the soppapilla.......not a fried thick flour tortilla, fresh dough deep fried and dusted with cinnamon sugar and served with honey...and of course butter. Such a waste to go anywhere else, but here. You can sit in a smoking area too. I'd attached some pics, but we ate the food too fast... read more

Day off in Odessa and wow, what an oasis!!! The pride flag at the bar was a great start. The Legendary Margaritas gave way to jovial conversation and now we're all drunk and full!!!!! Chris is especially excited that the tables do not wobble. Quote of the day: "That's a hot chile relleno!!!!" - Chris read more

Went to lunch here the other day and both of us picked the Lunch Combo #2 which was the Quesadilla, mine was the combo and the other was chicken. It was a LOT of food for lunch and I could only have about half as I wanted to be semi functional for the rest of the work day. You get a bowl of guac and sour cream along with the meal. It was very good! The service was good as well. Total for two came to $25 including tip. The waitress was very prompt to refill our sweet teas as well. Bottom line: Do eeeeet! read more

Went in for tortilla soup. The chips were cooked in bad oil and the salsa was very watery. Not sure why it was light color and had bubbles. Initial Hostess was rude., soup was ok at best. I did like the avocados. Soup was like warm. Will NOT go back. Wrong choice. read more

I like the customer service here. Have been here twice. Food comes with very big portions at a good price. Atmosphere is a bit different. You got the smokers' side and then the nonsmoking section. The style of the restaurant is just like really any family owned joint. Good place to check out for casual dining. read more

Great food!! The chicken tacos are amazing! The only thing I don't like is that they have smoking in this restaurant and even though you sit in non smoking section you can still smell it, so other than that it's a tasty place to go. read more

Hidden gem!! Coldest beer in this town. Their spicy green salsa is to die for. Great Chile rellenos, really good flautas & tacos. My husband loves the enchiladas! read more

Good food but small portions and a little pricey. Ordered the enchilada plate and all three enchiladas could fit in my palm. I just expected a little more for the price. Would probably eat here again. read more

On 12/13/18 the family all went to grab a bite to eat at Jorge's in Odessa. They always tell us that we can't be seated until our entire party is there and that's fine because we just accept that and it really isn't an issue for us. I showed up and a few of our party was already seated which we all thought that was strange. The server came to the table and said "If this happens again you will NOT be allowed to be seated" we told him that the hostess seated them and he just kept repeated it. A member in our group asked him what the deal was in a normal tone and he said "Do not raise you voice" the same member said I never raised my voice. We all got our drinks and by that time we didn't want to even eat or drink. The manager came out and said "What would you like to do fire him!" We said no just wanted you to know that this wasn't our fault. After the manager came by we just said we will pay for our drinks and leave. He said " I'm sorry you feel that way". We have NEVER been treated like that here but after that we decided we wouldn't ever go back! read more

I have always loved Jorge's, but have never frequented the place that often because while they have amazing chips and queso and I love the quesadillas, I just had never found anything so mouthwatering that I HAD to go here until this past weekend... Have you ever had tacos from this place? My god, run along now, go to Jorge's and eat tacos. The enchiladas taste like the sauce came out of a can so don't bother, just do tacos and queso, you won't be disappointed. read more

Fastest service in town, and has the most consistent food, never had a bad meal here and I've eaten here at least 100 times! Love the salsa

My family has been coming here for years. The food is always great. My mom loves the appetizer flautitas as her meal, my grandma gets the Caldo de Cameron y Pescado (seriously fantastic), and I like the chicken fajita taco plate (get them crispy - flat grilled corn tortillas). My husband loves the beef fajitas. This place is an institution. We've become friends with Noel, a server here. He is like family now and we will wait extra to sit with him. He is on the ball, and super sweet. I LOVE this place. I always leave feeling very satisfied and with a smile on my face. By far, my favorite restaurant in Odessa. read more

I had the caldo de rest here, it was very delicious! The pricing is fair. The customer service was ok, the staff could be a little more inviting! read more

Portions were kind of tiny but all of our food and desserts were EXCELLENT. Will be going back for sure.

Had lunch with friends based on a local recommendation and was very happily surprised. The service was snappy. The sweet tea was well balanced. The lunch special was tasty and a very satisfying portion. I'll be back! read more
