The food here is delicious. The shrimp tacos are fresh. Beans and rice are flavorful. They are generous with the portions and fast service. Best place around town. Highly recommend! read more

A dead mouse was under my table and food was subpar, should have gotten a refund. I hope I don't get sick after eating food that mice have crawled all over read more

The food is pretty meh. I got the cowboy burrito, it was ok but highly lacked flavor. The service is great though! Everything came out pretty fast. They're great with kids and give them a complimentary ice cream cone after dinner. They also gave anyone who got an alcoholic drink a free shot too. read more

We went to Jose Tequilas a while back and left less than satisfied. We started off with margaritas which were good. My sister ordered a fish dish and it did not taste fresh. I ordered tacos & the meat was tough. When my sister let them know about the fish not being fresh to the manager, he was defensive. They brought her back out the replacement dish she requested which was a taco dish. The ground beef was unseasoned and hadn't had the water drained from it. It was disgusting. This experience left a bad taste in my mouth. We won't be back to Jose Tequilas. read more

Went here for dinner for Cinco de Mayo and it was so good! It was definitely very crowded inside and the parking was full, but we managed to find an empty random spot. The menu was condensed for the holiday, our waitress informed us they did that because they knew it was going to be chaotic/crowded for the holiday. I ordered the grande sampler which comes with a burrito, enchilada, chile relleno, taco, a chalupa, and a side of rice and beans. So much food, def worth the price! 10/10 so yummy! I also ordered a margarona drink in strawberry flavor and a Vegas margarita (monster size) which came in a white bucket, both 9/10. Our waitress was really nice also. Will def be making this my go to spot moving forward! My overall rate of experience : 9.5/10 read more

Food was delicious and plentiful - we both took half home! The Birria Ramen and Barria Taco were delicious! My husband said his chimichangas were better than the place we normally go and he loves those! My mango margarita was refreshing - you could really taste the mango flavor. Sports bar atmosphere with college football games on. The staff were so nice. Checked on us and made us feel very welcome. In the area, Check Them Out! read more

This Jose Tequilas is located in the Little Creek section of Norfolk along E. Little Creek Rd. The closest exit for the place from I-64 is exit 278 which brings you to Chesapeake Blvd. It is basically where N. Military Hwy, Chesapeake Blvd., and E. Little Creek Rd. meet. Because of how traffic flows are, you will want to go onto N. Military Hwy to E. Little Creek Rd. My visit here was on January 18, 2025. I don't come over to this area very often. I was out this way for our departmental luncheon. There is another location close to where I live, so I figured this would still be good too. There was ample parking when I arrived. It wasn't too busy when I came in, but I think the rainy weather that day may have kept some away. The inside of the place is pretty big, so I could tell that they would easily be able to accommodate a group of our size. The overall ambiance of the place was inviting and has those Mexican vibes to it. Even though everyone wasn't there yet, our server came to the table and checked each time as others arrived to find out what drink(s) we wanted. I did stick with water with lemons, as I don't do the sodas and such. Within a 15 minute window, everyone arrived and we were checking over the menu options. After some time and chatter, the server came around to get our orders. I decided to go with the Top Shelf Queso as an appetizer and the Super Burrito with Chicken entree. I normally don't do the tortilla, but I figured I would this time. After everyone ordered, it would be about 5 minutes or so when all the appetizer orders came out. The Top Shelf Queso was really good. It had a good flavor to it. I didn't eat the whole thing of course, so I did bring the rest home afterwards to consume then too. About 10 minutes after the appetizers came out, the entrees came out to the table. The Super Burrito looked really good too. It was hot so I had to wait a moment to start on it. The burrito was really good. The flavors complemented very well. I have been in diabetic remission for about 19 months and counting as of the time of this review. I was pleasantly surprised that in the end, I did not get any major glucose spikes from the meal that day too. Overall, the food, service and atmosphere were phenomenal. The food was really good. The servers were on it for all of us during that visit too. They were quick to check and make sure there were no issues and were quick to keep the water cups full too. You will definitely get the Mexican atmosphere here. If you happen to be in that part of Norfolk and looking for a Mexican restaurant, this place is definitely worth coming to. read more

Let me paint you a picture: I walked into Jose Tequila's with the hunger of a thousand angry toddlers who missed snack time. I left feeling like I just attended a fiesta thrown by the food gods themselves. First of all, the chips and salsa hit the table faster than my last paycheck disappeared -- crispy, warm, and just enough spice to remind me I have taste buds. The salsa? So fresh I think the tomatoes whispered "gracias" as I dipped. Now let's talk margaritas. These are not your average "barely tequila" margaritas. No, sir. These things are dangerously delicious. One sip in and I was texting my ex "maybe we should try again" -- don't worry, the waiter talked me down with another round and a basket of nachos. I ordered the chimichanga because I like my food deep-fried and slightly dramatic. It came out golden, glorious, and sizzling like it just walked off a telenovela set. I made noises eating it that probably got me banned from church. Service? A+ with extra credit. read more

NEW MENU WHO DIS!? Jose's has a new menu, and new bright recess lighting!! Jose's will always be one of my favorite places. To see they have a new menu shows me, they aren't being lazy about their establishment. Food The food here is always on par, but the intro to new dishes on the menu like "The fortress", and Barria Tacos", absolutely amazing. The fortress had ribs vertical on the plate in a circular way, creating a fortress like barrier around the rest of the food. Food is still delicious. Service Service was quick, fast, and with a smile. The staff here is always great. read more

DO NOT EAT HERE! The food will have you on the toilet for hours! The drinks are full of sugar and they barely have alcohol in them. Went here for Taco Tuesday with coworkers and we all left throwing up from our time there! This is not authentic Mexican food it's thrown together with no seasoning! read more

Food was pretty good. We had a lot of leftovers but they weren't that good the next day in my opinion. Fajitas were ok, the meat was not very tender. Rice and beans were generic. Their drinks were good. I got a strawberry daiquiri which I would order again. Their queso is really good. Service was slow. It was DEAD when we came and it took them forever to get our check to us after we asked. Ambiance is casual. Overall it was an ok meal but I like other places better so I won't be back. read more

Stopped in for a Monday lunch and sat at the bar. Huge beer mugs. Attentive server. Terrific pork belly tacos. Fantastic chicken fajita. Gratis shots at the end were a pleasant surprise. Good to have a nearby restaurant open on a Monday. read more

Large restaurant with easy parking in Norfolk which is great to find. The fajitas had a nice charcoal flavor to them, they were well seasoned, salted and delicious! Fresh guacamole had so much fresh lime and cilantro it was still bright green the next day in my fridge. My husband loved his burrito. The wait staff was efficient, and checked to make sure they had our order correct before placing it. The restaurant had nice cultural art, and funny signage making it welcoming. read more

Was recommended by our AirBnB. SO GLAD WE CAME! Staff was extremely courteous, and super fast! Food portions were over-the top! Prices were reasonable. I always get a glass of wine when eating but their pour was equal to two glasses of wine. My husbands large beer was EXTRA LARGE! The food was great. And we loved their salsa and queso. I actually combined the two and smothered my monster quesadillas in it bc the flavor was amazing! My husband had the street fish tacos and liked the sweetness of the mango and crunch of the cabbage/slaw. We are bringing leftovers home and will have plenty to eat for dinner as well. read more

Visited family in Norfolk. I'm from Nevada. Went to Jose Tequilla for dinner on 6-11-2025 aprox. 6;30 pm with a group of five. Was seated quickly.. Our orders and drinks came out soon afterwards and was exactly as ordered. Service was awesome. Even gave us a complimentary shot of their own concoction. Topped off our visit here to the max. read more

This place is wonderful. The staff are friendly and very professional--like fine dining professional. The food is fresh, and fast. Typical Mexican restaurant fare, but delicious. I had the chicken chimichangas, huge portion that I could not finish. My husband has the monster quesadilla which really could be a flat beef chimichanga. Very stuffed full of meat and cheese. Everything was well seasoned and delicious. Can't wait to go back and try something else. No pictures because we just dove right in without thinking. It's that yummy. read more

Went yesterday. Really liked they offered non alcoholic Piña coladas and strawberry daiquiri! I tried the vegetarian enchiladas w mushroom avocado n spinach. Yummy. Food was fine but they had 2 wifi networks called Jose tequilas and did not share any passwords when asked. read more

Oh my god... the drinks were great, we came in on Hallows Eve, I ordered the chile relleno from our server Elio ... fantastic service/ the food was even better. I've been in WA, NV and VA... how does Virginia have the best Chile Relleno & best service??? Thank you Elio! I would post a picture of the food, but I ate it so fast! read more

The ambiance is amazing. I love the artwork and authenticity. I ordered from the happy hour menu. Very affordable and delicious. The guacamole was made fresh right before my eyes. I loved that. The Chicharrón were perfectly made. The best thus far. My overall experience was exceptional plus the wait was minimal. Perfect place for date nights or for a family outing. read more

Food was great, service was fast and amazing staff. Authentic Mexican food. Ambience was like If I was in Cancun.

Repeat customer! The staff have always been super friendly & super attentive. The food has always been flavorful & fresh. My partner and I live nearby and enjoy walking here for Sunday meals. read more

Overall experience was okay. It was affordable, fast, and good service. Was the food anything to write home about? No. The carnitas bowl was chunks of pork and not so much crispy carnitas. The cilantro lime rice is better at Chipotle. It was okay food and my husband said the same about the burrito. However it was clean inside, waited not much more than five minutes for food. They checked on us. Would I come here again? Honestly, this place is faster than chipotle. The booths were comfortable. It was easy to get in and out of there fast and the food is decent enough that I'd go again. Would I order takeout from here? Probably not. read more

Carry out was horrible. Burritos were boring and bland. And hard tacos were mush! Avoid!

So, this is a bar that sells Mexican food. Their drink menu is off the chain. I highly recommend their flights...margarita, sangrias, you name it... and they are potent! So be sure to have a DD coming out this b*tch, because you will get f*cked up! the food is okay, nothing to shout about. Chips and dip are always coming, so you will get full quick off these if you're not careful. read more

There was no air conditioning! The server didn't understand what I ordered! I ordered a daiquiri and found out it was non alcoholic and it was a watered down drink that tasted sour! I ask for another margarita and they gave me the same drink and added something to it! I shouldn't have drank it! The tacos had some weird meat that tasted awful and they fell apart! why would anyone want to go to this place???? read more

Ok - they are a chain, but hello - 5 stars for doing this Covid thing right. We get Mexican here because of their huge menu and all the great choices. This is one of the first places we actually went to and sat down for a meal because we are so tired of cooking and takeout. Enter Covid-19- BRING YOUR READING GLASSES! Lol. This is SO smart. They have copied their big, regular laminated menu, onto paper. Meaning, they are throwing away the menu after you look at it. Amazing! But the problem is a actually seeing that teenie tiny type- BUT, you can scan the QR code to get it on your phone and blow it up. Brilliant!!! The food, as usual, was out fast and just as good as we remembered! read more

Coming from a Texan, this is a great spot!!Amazing food, amazing customer service! 10/10

Okay, so after about a 3 year hiatus, I revisited Jose Tequila and I must admit that the drinks are still amazing! I had the G.O.A.T. Margarita which was STRONG and superb! For my meal, I opted for the carne asada fries and they were FIRE! I did have to remind/ask for pico but no worries, they were delicious with just the right amount of flavor, especially cilantro. Sitting at the bar provided the perfect atmosphere and ambiance for my mood. Service was amazing as well. Gonna have to throw Jose back into my grub rotation!! read more

Food is delicious and the staff is always so friendly. The service is amazing between servers always checking on you to the speed you get your food. Normal wait time after ordering is under 10 mins and while you wait they have the best chips and salsas to enjoy read more

Top tier service and best Mexican food in Virginia. They never disappoint and the food always hits the spot.

Today I decided to take my family out for Happy Hour. On this extremely hot day a nice frozen Margarita should do the trick. We ordered the daily special of the Blue Agave Margarita and a few Classic ones. although the Sparkling Blue Margarita was appealing to the eye. I personally found it to be too sweet. It is made with agave and gets its hint of Bright Blue from Curaçao mix In all honesty I am not a big fan of the food here but my guests got the munchies and wanted more than cocktails, chips and salsa. They ordered the Sampler which came with Spicy wings, quesadillas, one shredded beef yaquito, shredded chicken taquito, and elote. Which is street corn. In the center of the plate was shredded lettuce and some guacamole They ordered a dessert called Sopapillo. Which is fried dough covered in cinnamon sugar, an served with ice cream. Although the drinks are good, the staff attentive, free parking and conveniently located near home... I do not care for the food here ‍ it's a combination of taste, execution and presentation that is lacking in my book. read more

Very nice place. I came here alone and the entrance is cool right off the bat. I was greeted and seated quickly . The server , came quickly to me ( ALBERTO) and bought me chips and "salsa". He also asked me if I wanted a drink . I ordered the "day's special" which was CHIMICHANGA with rice and frijoles( beans for my non- Spanish speaking people) which was fresh and delicious. There is good music playing in the background although I would like to hear some Mexican music, maybe some Christian Nodal. Needless to say that Mexicans do listen to salsa and Merengue. Overall , it's an amazing place to Brit family, friends, a date or just your muah( yourself, LOL). read more

Jose Tequilas - the inside of a restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Norfolk, Virginia

I met a friend here on a Friday evening. Service was decent, there were a lot of open tables so I was able to be seated immediately. It's very clean inside and the booths are really large. I got the tacos de birria and they arrived to the table within minutes of ordering. Unfortunately, they were super soggy and falling apart. I couldn't even dip them in the broth. That was immediately after receiving them too so it's not like they were sitting there for a while, so I was disappointed. They were flavorful so I'd be willing to go back and try something else. read more

The staff is not professional here. This is my 2nd time here and both times the waiters have gave the minimum services. He was rude to each of us and when I asked to speak to a manager and no one showed up. The staff accused us of stealing and still no manager came. read more

Staff was very attentive and friendly. The chicken wings were cooked perfectly. The tacos looked amazing. However I found that they were very greasy and lacked flavor. The decor was really good. Restaurant was clean. The staff bussed the tables almost immediately as the customers left. read more
