This was our first time visiting Jose's. We've lived in Pearl for a while but had not really heard much about it. So, we gave it a shot. We will be back! My husband had the chicken fajitas and I had the chimichanga trio. Both were delicious and fresh. The chips were thin and crispy and the salsa was delicious. The service was very friendly and fast! Also, it was more enjoyable than some of the other Mexican restaurants around because it was not so loud! There was a nice "family", neighborhood vibe going on. The only draw back IMO, was that they only have Pepsi products. Didn't take pictures of food. But added pics of the menu. read more

The food is good but it is very very salty. I don't know if it is usually so salty or if it was an off nigh, but if it wasn't so salty it would be fantastic. I was also disappointed that the tortillas appeared to be premade. The staff is friendly and the service is pretty quick as well. read more

Great food for a reasonable price. I love the lady at the register. She is so sweet. The waitresses are usually very nice. They do stay busy. The food is always good! read more

Great service pretty good food tamale was missing meat masa was perfect! Since I only had one . Enchilada included was good! Nice place

Food tasted absolutely horrible plus we found a hair on the plate. Waitresses were worried about flirting with old men instead of focusing on other customers. They never even noticed or questioned why we didn't want to eat our food. We used to go here 2+ years ago and the food was either good or decent. The chile relleno with shredded beef was always my favorite. Nothings good anymore. Definitely won't be returning. read more

Can't say enough about this place. Gotta try it out if u haven't. I will be a repeat offender/customer here read more

I've heard terrific things about this place for years... I found myself in Pearl around lunch, so I decided to stop in and try the tamales that I've heard so much about. Meh They had little meat and too much masa and a bland flavor. MS is the mecca for hot tamales, and it's easy to find good tamales, especialy in the delta. While these were not bad, they were not great. Certainly not worth bragging over. If they didn't have the chili and cheese on top, they would have been too bland to eat. read more

Jose's Tamales - Tamale plate with chili and cheese. - Mexican Near Me - Pearl, Mississippi

My husband and I both had the tamale plate. My beans were so salty that it was all I tasted when I tried to eat them. His beans weren't near as salty as mine. Sadly, the tamales were just ok and the rice was sticky and bland. I think they just had a little too much breading. I didn't finish my plate. However, we did have the guacamole and it was very good. We probably won't try it another time to see if anything else is palatable. The wait staff were all very kind this review is 100% about the food. read more

My kids and I were traveling through the area and stopped for some dinner. I ordered the "Burrito on the Border" and it was delicious! It was ginormous and could easily feed two people. The prices were very reasonable. Everyone left happy with their food and some leftovers. read more

The flavor is spot on at this place! We ordered tamales and fluatas and they did not disappoint. The chips are seasoned which we we love as well! Sasha was super fresh! Friendly service! We will be back a lot! read more

I was a little concerned checking out a Mexican restaurant in Mississippi but traveling in the south as a vegetarian is a challenge and veggie fajitas are always a fantastic option. Restaurant was well lit and I was greeted immediately by the hostess. Great wait staff whom was very attentive. I ordered a Dos Equis and veggie fajitas which arrived immediately. The veggies were perfectly seasoned and the yellow rice was as well. Salsa and pico were also delicious. Would definitely come back, this will be my spot in Pearl for the foreseeable future. read more

Strange that I had to go to Mississippi to get some of the best salsa I have ever had. It, along with the chips, we're the highlight of my meal. The tamale I had was on point. The chimichanga trio was a generous portion and they were all tasty. read more

Pretty solid overall. Here's what matters to us: unique entrees, margaritas, guac, kid friendly. Tasty salsa and guac. Wouldn't say menu is all that unique but it's not mundane either. Margaritas are mix based and not terribly fresh. Ok, not bad, not great. They excelled with the kids, at least our server did anyway. read more

This review is for Tuesday 2/17/15-The food was lukewarm when it got to the table (it arrived not ten mins after we placed our order)which was a bit disappointing. The service was great and it would have been perfect if it had been hot. read more

Excellent! Best Mexican I've had since leaving Los Angeles! My boys and I discovered this pave in a Mexican food wasteland. They had the best food! Everything we tried! We ordered tamales to take on the road with us too. They were excellent. read more

My family has been going here ever since they opened the doors about 17 years ago. Awesome food and awesome family. First lets tackle the people because lets face it, if the staff are rude it just kills everything else. Well no worries here. Jose and Tiffany are just as good as it gets. They treat everyone like family. While there has been the occasional wait staff issue a short chat with the owners (Jose or Tiffany) saw quick remedy to that. As with most things just simply letting them know what is wrong (or right) can make a world of difference. Now for the food. To sum it up in one word: Awesome. My favorite is the carnitas fritas. If I happen to be there on a Saturday at lunch I'll get the ceviche which is to die for! And they only serve it on Saturday so if you want it you better be there early. I have honestly never had anything there that I didn't like. I have to thank Ricky for my new jam though.... the Guisado (steak and potato). It is a hearty meal that will stay with you for a while. If you need a great meal on a budget I'd suggest the chorizo con huevos (sausage and eggs). Needless to say, if you leave here hungry it is your own fault! read more

After driving all day I picked Jose's from Yelp and because it was close to the Hotel. Found it to be one of the best Mexican restaurants I've ever ate at. I'd drive 25 miles to eat here. read more

Jose's Tamales - Chill in' out after a day on the road. Service good so far. - Mexican Near Me - Pearl, Mississippi

DELICIOUS!! My husband and I were passing through for the night and wanted something local. Jose's was perfect. I always rate my mexcian restaurants on their chips and salsa--and Jose's was fresh and great! *Fajitas!! :) The service was great and the food was absolutely delicious!! I would recommend it to anyone in the area and would stop if in the area again. read more

Ehhhh, could have been worse. The enchiladas were good, the rice lacked flavor, the prices were decent.

Great place for authentic Mexican cuisine. Good food and drinks. Jose is very personal if you get a chance to meet. Its located conveniently near the outlets. Plenty of parking. read more

Always great service, good atmosphere. The guacamole is awesome. Small restaurant, comfortable seating. Tamales or fajitas are always good.

I'm not sure where the other reviewers went to, or if my family and I just got lost, but we must not be talking about the same place. We noticed no Latinos, which for me as a tourist is a concern because I was looking forward to authentic Mexican food. The tables and chairs need to be steam cleaned, the floors need to be degreased, and the menus need to be washed, preferably in a dishwasher. We could not get ourselves to the point of placing an order and we slipped out the door when no one was looking. Good luck, and may your hand sanitizer protect you. read more

The salsa was very good. The price was good. The food was a bit bland. My son and I shared a "Tiffany's special" and the white cheese had no flavor. Not horrible but not great. read more

Best Mexican food in Jackson. The salsa is perfect. I've lived in Dallas and visit family in San Antonio regularly, so I know what good Tex Mex is. It's in a dry county but they're always stocked with a good selection of Mexican beers. read more

I've never been to Jose's before today, and my family and I were looking for another restaurant and found it was out of business. Decided to try Jose's and was very pleased. Our server, Ben, was excellent, with yes sir and yes ma'am manners, attentive to the diners needs at every turn. I will definitely add this place to my list of Mexican restaurant options. The salsa was delicious, the chips seasoned well, as was everything I tried. I hope they stick around. read more

Love the food. Service is a little slow but bring a good friend and enjoy the wait. The food is well worth the wait!

The food was great! The price was great! The staff is friendly and the service was great too. An amazing Mexican place to eat at if you're visiting in the area. My family and I loved it! I highly recommend. read more

Quite good Mexican food. The pork dishes are very good. The green sauce is excellent.

One of Pearl's best kept secrets. The salsa is fresh tasting & has texture. (Not a tomato flavored mystery liquid). Although the menu doesn't offer anything that has the "wow" factor the "Frito burrito" is a hit & they offer good daily specials. Will definitely return. Servers could be more attentive. read more

The chips, guac & salsa are good, not too spicy. I enjoyed the tamales. The kids seemed happy with the rice & cheese enchiladas. Lunch prices are a bargain. read more

This restaurant is very uncooperative when making substitutions. Tried to sub side salad for rice. No big deal one would think. Wanted to upcharge us - so when asked if they would discount the rice since we weren't ordering it, well, let's just say it wasn't pleasant. read more

The food was great. The heat was perfect in the salsa and tamales. Service was fast and friendly. The drinks were good and well priced. Portions were big, come hungry. read more

Good food at a fair price only reason I am giving four stars is the staff seems to be jumpy and jittery and in a hurry all the time. It appears they may be on speed. And for that I won't be back. But it is good food. read more

I rarely eat dine in on a business trip. But I needed real food, the staff is extremely friendly and overly checked in on me. I love tamales, and was really looking forward to Jose's after reading the reviews. I got the tamale dinner with chili and cheese. They were okay, better than the super market reheated, but very plain. Salsa was really good. I'd go back, great service and reasonable prices read more

Really enjoyed this restaurant. As a matter of fact, we ate there two nights in a row. Service was excellent and the food was delicious.
