Jose Tequilas is outstanding! Delicious authentic Mexican food, incredibly friendly staff and the drinks are absolutely amazing!

Our group came out because it was highly recommended by the resort we were staying at and it was nearby. The drinks were good but not as strong as I'd like. The food was amazing with great portions, hot (temperature-wise) and service was fast and friendly. The flavors are typical Mexican restaurant type. We would definitely come back next time we're in the area. read more

We were immediately seated upon arrival. We scanned the menu and was torn between some of the entrees. This restaurant typically like any other Mexican restaurant. However, I did have an issue of deciding what to order. So I chose the Jose Favorito which consisted of 5 Jumbo shrimp, 5 baby scallops and 4 pieces of chicken strips. The other dish was Monster quesadilla. Was it monster?? No it wasn't, it had beef, cheese, and tortilla inside it. The quesadilla was lacking flavor. Food came out quick as any other Mexican establishment. The service was good. The atmosphere was clean but their was a funky smell outside and in the restroom. The prices were on the pricey side to be lacking flavor. This is our 2nd trying this restaurant. Needless to say...I would not be returning. read more

Jose Tequilas Mexican Bar and Grill GOOD: Fun Festive atmosphere, great service, fresh chips BAD: On the pricey side for Mexican food and entrees fell a little flat I wanted to love Jose Tequilas - it's very festive and fun environment. The service is great and the table chips and very fresh and free. I found my entree flat on texture and flavor. I ordered a mix of things but it all tasted the same, not bad, just not moving, some what bland. Everything but the hard taco had a singular soft texture. My tips that really improved my food, work in the chips - save some and the dips for the entrees. Also, if you like spicy food, ask for some hot sauce. See the photos where I used the chips to make chicken enchilada nachos. I used the lemon from my drink to jazz the rice and the dips to create great flavors. I also recommend ordering a good balance of hard and soft items to really boost the experience. I would go again, I would just change the order a bit - worth a visit. read more

Service was impeccable. Food was delicious. Speed or service and attention to quality was above and beyond! We were pleased with everything we ordered. Fresh and tasty! We have another yummy spot to add to our rotation of great restaurants in the area. read more

Fantastic! Immediately upon entering through the door was pleasantly greeted and escorted to a table. Then, within a few minutes I was served chips with salsa and a ranch-type dressing. The waiter then inquired about my drink order. Afterward, I informed him of my food order, Jose' Favorite. Later, I ordered Fried Ice cream. Both the drink and the entree were absolutely delicious! The fried ice cream was great, too! The service was attentive. The atmosphere was warm and inviting. My only regret was there was no coffee. read more

We came to Jose Tequilas while visiting Williamsburg. The place is a fun Mexican style atmosphere. The service was really good. Free chips, salsa, and a white sauce (not sure, but decent). We ordered tableside guac, which made for a fun experience and some delicious guacamole and chips. As entrees we ordered enchiladas, tacos, and quesadillas. Everything was good. read more

I have been to this place many times. They seem to have a high turnover rate with employees. I sat at the bar for happy hour. The waitress, who was very nice, got me the first beer. After that, my empty glass sat on the bar for 10 minutes and nobody ever asked me if I wanted a refill. They just kept walking by me. I never got a menu to order food and I left and went somewhere else. Service was terrible as mentioned in other posts. read more

The food was good. Wasn't amazing, but the drinks were tasty! The Birria was fresh and the consume had good flavor. The food came out HOT, which I appreciate. The bathrooms had a changing table; little dirty in the bathrooms but it did its job. Our server was nice and accommodating! We would come here for different items on the menu! read more

First, the service was great but the food was better. My wife had the fajitas with steak, chicken, and shrimp and it was very flavorful and filling. She loved it. I had the ribs and shrimp and could not eat the veggies and beans because I had to eat all the meat. I could not leave it and we were staying at a hotel and did not want leftovers. I ate a pound of meat and a very good rum and coke and I am still full several hours later. A must stop if you are ever in the Williamsburg area. read more

Really fun place with great specials! We went on a Monday night and the margaritas are HUGE!! I opted for a sangria flight and it was delicious trying three distinct sangrias. My husband got an enormous mug of Miller lite. We enjoyed the fajitas but why is it every Mexican restaurant only gives you three tortillas? Great service, fun environment, highly recommend! read more

The Mexican food here is nothing to write home about. Not very flavorful at all and almost subpar in general. White sauce was the most flavorful item we tried. Salsa was not that great. Beef burrito and sauce had no flavor or seasoning. Same with the sour cream chicken enchiladas. I expect to have some kind of flavor from them and it www just sour cream. We will not be returning as there are 10 other Mexican restaurants in the Williamsburg area. Service was quick and friendly. read more

My boyfriend recommended this place and said that his friends love it here. I can see why they love it! The food is so so tasty & the portions are HUGE. Definitely a bang for your buck type of place! We doordashed and they even gave us a big bag of chips and salsa on the side. The Cochinita Pibil was sooo good! The sauce was tangy, sweet, savory, and a little spicy at the same time. If you love onions, I recommend! Plus the tortilla bowl stayed crunchy despite after having to wait doordash. But my favorite of all... the queso... SO GOOD! read more

First time here; joining friends for a birthday supper. Chips were already on the table, accompanied by a tasty and zippy salsa, and the Virginia phenomenon known as "white sauce." I ordered a sweet tea, which turned out to be roughly the size of my head, and perfectly sweetened- not too much. I got Los 4 Sabrosos - one chile relleno, one tamale, one taco, and one cheese enchilada, with retried beans, rice, and the traditional Mexican restaurant salad of chopped lettuce and tomato slices. Everything was delicious- I actually boxed up half of my food for tomorrow. One of the guys got the shrimp and scallop fajitas, and I decided on the spot that I will be bringing my Bride here on a date soon. The total, even with Williamsburg's usurious meals tax, was only $20.14 before tip. I definitely recommend this place! read more

This was a wonderful experience for authentic Mexican food. First time here and Naim was exceptional and we will be back.

Kind of a hidden gem, large portion sizes and interesting and uncommon dishes. I had the Yucatan Shrimp Tacos and my husband had the Magnificent Combo. Friendly and fast service, tho it was a slow evening (day after Christmas). We'll definitely come back. read more

The margaritas and service were really great; however, the enchiladas rancheras had AMERICAN cheese inside which absolutely ruined them. I mean like big block welfare cheese - the taste of abject poverty. Gross. What about something mellow like monterey jack or colby, a sprinkle of cotija? I will eat at the restaurant again, but I will not order anything with cheese. read more

Went here for the first time today, and really enjoyed it. Food was particularly good, and everyone was very friendly. They have a very unique menu. I went in expecting all the standard Mexican restaurant items and nothing else, but they had some really unique things, both on the food menu and the drink menu. They have really put some thought into their menu. I am not someone who normally notices decor, but it really is interesting inside. In particular, I am enamored with the Lucha Libre elements of the decor. The only thing that was a sort-of, kind-of negative was that they had no lunch menu (or at least not on Saturday...or we just weren't given one). So, you are paying dinner prices and getting dinner portions for lunch. read more

I was traveling and needed to spend the night in Williamsburg. Since I was by myself I didn't want to eat alone, so I got my order to go. I ordered a fried chicken chimichanga. I was told they would bring me my order when it was ready, so I sat on a bench inside and waited. After a while I started looking around and noticed my food was in a bag on a table, no one said it was ready or anything. I checked the receipt to make sure it was my order, grabbed it and left The chips tasted burned, and they didn't have any salt on them. I hoped the chimichanga would be better but I was sadly disappointed. The chimichanga wasn't fried at all, the tortilla was soggy, like a wet paper towel. The rice must have gotten the salt that was meant for the tortilla chips. And the shredded lettuce they packaged on the side was completely wilted and brown. After tip this meal cost me $20. I get times are tough during covid, but the restaurant was virtually empty and the staff (hostess and 2 other waitresses) were more interested in their own conversations...so it was not a matter of being slammed or under-staffed. Very dissapointed. read more

The staff were very pleasant and the place seems to be clean. The food wasn't really anything special, it's pretty much just like any other Mexican restaurant you go to. I will give it a 5 star service though. We had our food about 10 minutes after ordering it. read more

This place has great food and fast service. We went there on a Saturday night, they were really busy, but they served our food quickly. I got seafood fajitas and my son had cheese dip and tacos. The fajitas, house made chips and cheese dip were delicious, but the tacos were not hot, just warm. Overall, we enjoyed our dinner and would go back next time we are in the area. read more

Walking in, the restaurant is decorated in vibrant decor and there is Latin music playing at a level that still allows for conversation. I was greeted by a friendly host, and seated. My drink was brought right away, and my server answered all of my questions. I got the dos tacos combination with two fajita tacos, thinking with a smaller portion I could finish most of it. It was still a ton of food, which looked and tasted amazing. On my way out, they sincerely thanked me for coming. I would happily eat here again. read more

Just posted a review and realized I didn't review this great Mexican cuisine spot! We stayed down the road at the Wyndham resort and decided to stop in for an early dinner! Everyone enjoyed their food and the service was great! The prices are VERY reasonable and the portion size is huge! I took off a star because we could have shared some of these dishes if the waiter would have told us how big they were! read more

You want a fun and delicious Mexican experience for a really good price? Jose Tequilas is your place! We took the short walk to this place right from our hotel for dinner and it was absolutely popping in there! We were still seated immediately though and had water on the table ASAP. And a nice bonus was the large tray of complimentary chips with salsa AND FREE QUESO that they kept refilling all night, at least 4 times for our table of 6... they sure know how to keep the people happy here. Really large menu with many choices both meat and veg options alike, great drink menu, and some locally sourced produce and organic margaritas. You can get a margarita the size of your face here people, so if that's your jam get your booty to Jose Tequilas! Guacamole made tableside, sizzling make-your-own fajitas, great taco options and ginormous burritos! The burrito bowl with steak was delicious and the black beans and rice it comes with is so tasty! Sour cream and avocado slices do not cost extra and come on a lot of the meals. Great service, fun atmosphere, and good food to check out especially if you want some fun drinks! PS- we returned here for a second time for the Wednesday night beer and frozen margaritas deal and it was awesome!!! 17oz frozen marg (made very STRONG, but well) or mucho draught beer (literally 32oz) for only $4.99! Definitely a must try!! read more

Fresh! The things that comes to mind is FRESH! In our group of four everyone said the same thing and that is everything tastes so Fresh! Great flavor all meals where prepared to order properly. All food arrived in a timely manner. But here what made this a four star review. Jose hit all the right notes to give it a solid 3 - 4 star rating. But what secured it was this: My nephew ordered an Old Fashion a very common drink that any good bartender should know how to make. Our server returned to our table very quickly to inform us that there regular bartender was not in and that they could try to make it but he'd rather give to option to order another drink before proceeding. My nephew ordered Johnny Walker Black neat. What I appreciated most was the honesty. Didn't try to fake it and then make excuses. He put the power of the choice in my nephew's hand. Which didn't waste our time. All and all I would definitely recommend. read more

It's pretty hard to screw up Mexican food. All you really need are good quality, fresh ingredients and halfway decent recipes. Jose Tequilas seems to have neither. From the stale tortilla chips and the unseasoned rice to the carne asada and fajita meats that tasted like they came from a cheap grocery store's sale bin, our meal here was the worst Mexican food we've ever had. By far. Service was good, though... but that may have been because the place was near empty. read more

The food was terrible. The service was ok, most of our meal we could hear loud laughter coming from the kitchen. The spinach enchiladas were terrible. The corn tortillas were tasteless and cold. Spinach in enchiladas is a no for me. Nachos were basically a plate with tortillas chips and cheese that had been microwaved. read more

When you do the happy dance after eating your food...then you know it's good!!!! Dined at Jose Tequila's during my staycation in Williamsburg and it was grrrrreeeaaarrrrtttt!!! We started off with the Mango Frozen Margaritas, which were made perfectly, and enjoyed complimentary chips and salsa with an order of street corn for an appetizer. I ordered the Carnitas Michoacán, served with Mexican rice and beans, topped with grilled onions. The pork was cooked to perfection and had lots of flavor. My sister had the chicken and shrimp fajitas that came out sizzling hot. Our server was nice, efficient and shared great recommendations from the menu. All of the staff were friendly, the food was reasonably priced and the ambiance of the restaurant is relaxing and quite chill. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. Great times...Great Food and Awesome Staff. read more

First time here! I love the decor! It's so fun and interesting!!! The staff was very friendly too.

There queso is thick and smiley and delicious. The restroom was clean and very cute! Again love the decor!!!! I'll definitely be back. Loved this place. read more

The food was good but very bland. The chips were too brown. The guacamole barely had any flavor, we asked for hot and it was not hot at all. The refried beans were dry. The service was ok. My boyfriend says it was under par. His tacos came hard but he asked for soft. The street corn was cold and lacked flavor. read more
