    I was craving mighty taco for some reason but really didn't want to drive to buffalo. This location used to be a mighty taco and when it closed, it turned into a Jose Joe's soon after. Not sure why it took me 5 years to try this place... especially being just up the road from me. Kind of regretting the hesitation because this is beyond better than mighty taco! I got the soft tacos and the hard (crunchy) tacos....omg so good! If you were a casual fan of the buffalo based chain...give this place a try..it's not quite like the Mexican restaurant offerings...and not quite like a taco bell...it's somewhere in the middle. Just like mighty taco used to be...but better! Rochester created and owned!

    Menu easily customized

    Happened upon this spot in between community visits for work. Happy too see another location with a customizable menu. Prices are in line with Chipotle or Five Guys. Staff is extremely helpful with the menu options.. The dining room is clean butt cold! I tried the Steak Fajita Salad with Avocado Cream. It was a bit lacking in spice but there is an ample selection of hot sauce. The drinks are all behind the counter. I get it but now a days,, people are used to refillable optionss. They also have Bang Energy Drinks in their cooler. I wouldn't go out of my way for this but would stop in again to try a burger.

    We stopped here for an early dinner. The staff were amazing. You place your order and they bring it to your table. They offer Mexican food along with burgers and chicken sandwiches. The food was really good. Next time I would probably opt to get a meal, it's a good value and I regret not seeing it. We did order desserts.. they are amazing. The chocolate chip and cheesecake one are delicious. I know next time I will be getting some to go.

    Jose Joes was a real treat. I'm happy I decided to stop in for lunch. I ordered the 3 cheese quesadilla and two soft tacos. They both were really good. They were rather simple but effective. The tacos had fresh ingredients on them, and the shells were really tasty. The quesadilla was good, I dug right in and forgot to snag a picture of them but they were a good size and I never just eat cheese quesadilla but I will from Jose Joes. Definitely a must try if you are in the area.

    Ordered at 7:11pm and said it would be ready by 7:30. Walked in at 7:30 and order was all set and ready! No waiting!! We ordered quite the spread so here is our review (and pictures too of everything but desserts): Morning Joe: substituted chicken, added sautéed onions, sautéed peppers, pickles, olives and Mayo. This was a fantastic messy sandwich; had to eat with a fork and knife due to all the ad-ons so we wouldn't wear it! Definitely would order again. Taco Salad: substituted chicken, no olives, and added pico de Gallo. This was quite the hefty salad. Sometimes ordering salads are hit or miss; this one was definitely a hit. The toppings were good ratio to the salad. Only down side was the addition of the pico for $0.69 - it came on the side in a 2oz sauce cup and was only filled halfway. We wish there was more for the additional charge. José Joe Burger: added jalapeños. Good burger loaded with toppings as described by the menu. Not a messy burger, good flavor. Personal preference would have been to cook the burger for less time, however, would order it again. José Veggé: Burrito was tightly wrapped and loaded with goodness! Wasn't cut in half, but not an issue as it keeps the stuffing inside. Their veggie patty was pretty tasty once you found it buried in all the additional stuffings! No additions were made to the burrito as it sits on the menu so I would say it was lacking some flavor, but I can't put my finger on what was missing. Maybe next time I'll order a side of sauce to dip it in for an extra kick. Smash Potato: small order. Added smokin' sauce. Great idea and perfect portion for a shareable or side. Smokin' sauce added a nice kick - could have been a bit spicier for my own liking, but good for your average joe. Sour cream and bacon toppings came on the side. Taco Fries: small order. Queso lined bottom of the box, then a layer of French fries and then layer on everything else. Absolutely delish. The small was a good quantity for a shareable. Great idea. Dessert Burrito 6pack: Fantastic idea and so happy we added them on to our meal!! They are about the size of a small cannoli and generously filled. In the mix and match 6 pack we got 2 of each burrito. 2-cheesecake with raspberry dipping sauce which was phenomenal; 2-cookie dough with chocolate dipping sauce (this one was my favorite) and then 2-sugar cookie with cinnamon dipping sauce (this was the majority favorite). Overall, in comparison to other restaurants we have ordered from during the pandemic, I would say was the best meal we have had yet. Nothing was missing from the orders, food was prepared as requested, food was ready at the time promised and staff was great! If you haven't tried José Joe's yet, make sure you do.

    Jose's steak hard taco $2.29+add steak $1.25 there was no hamburger meat on taco.The shell tasted stale. We were there Thursday at 12:30pm

    We are always in search for a new taco joint. The staff was very friendly. We ordered different tacos. All three were very skimpy. The meat was cold.. The manager replaced our tacos. The steak in the taco reminded us of steakums with a lot of salt & pepper. We also ordered a pork taco that tasted like pork from a can. The meal came with a drink and a side. We chose the chocolate chunk cookie dough burrito (spring roll)

    Joses Tacos Combo

    I ordered through grub hub because of the pandemic. I ordered the Jose tacos combo. On grub hub they show two tacos in the picture with this menu item. It also says "tacos" in the name which is plural. When my order arrived I was surprised and disappointed to see just one small taco. Tasted great, but too small to be satisfied. Makes me wonder what their other menu item serving sizes are.. please update your menu item descriptions to be accurate!

I come from the central coast in California and grew up with migrant workers from Mexico. It's been hard finding a place that had authentic Mexican food since moving to Rochester but this place can not be more authentic. We had tacos (shrimp, al pastor and carne asada), fried plantains, guacamole, and much more. All fresh ingredients packed with delicious flavor. You must try this place!!!

However, sauces are not automatically included, so be sure to ask for them on the side. Side dishes are often an afterthought at many restaurants, but Chuy's offered several tasty options. *Tacos de Asada y Maduro: featured high quality steak with fried plantains. The plate included three tacos, Mexican beans, and rice. While the meat had a good char, it was slightly dry. Despite the menu listing chipotle crema, the sauce was not included on any of my visits. Its spice and creaminess would have tied the dish together. The plantains were perfectly golden brown and sweet. The beans and rice were both flavorful, though I wished the beans had a more consistent texture, as they varied between watery and refried. *Horchata: top tier cinnamon rice beverage that was nicely sweetened and well spiced. *Flan: was dense and creamy with a sweet, rich caramel sauce. The custard had a beautiful body and was a must order. I have never had a bad meal here, though consistent inclusion of sauces would easily push this spot into five star territory. Chuy's definitely satisfied my Mexican food cravings without leaving me feeling greasy.

    Leaving at Selena's a large number of times through the years and they're generally pretty solid…read morequality wise. We stopped in tonight for my wife's birthday and most of what we got was pretty good. The case it was great enchiladas were fantastic as they always are. The rice and beans leave something to be desired but they always have so that wasn't a particular shock. Our server was okay though it would have been nice if she had been a little bit more on the up and up on getting us refills on our drinks she was still very friendly and got everything correct. When they found out it was my wife's birthday they brought us fried ice cream Sundae that was very good too. There's only one thing that was disappointing tonight and that is their burritos. We have ordered their à la carte burrito a dozen times maybe? It's always been fantastic fairly simple but fantastic. For a couple of extra bucks you could get enchilada sauce and cheese on it and we always really enjoyed it. We noticed when we got there that it was no longer on the menu and instead they had some pre-made burritos to choose from so we did get one of those and it was lower quality than what I would expect or maybe satisfied with then what I'd get at Taco Bell it was that bad. We did tell the waitress who was just kind of like yeah try the one that cost twice as much money lol. Not exactly helpful. Well the crappy short-changed burrito won't stop us from going again we definitely will not be ordering the burritos and I don't recommend you try them either.

I would hope she looks up a service animal doesn't just have to be a dog. Food was ok. Drunken shrimp tacos were good. Wish they had more filling for $7 each.
