I have driven by this place a hundred times without stopping thinking it was just another mid Mexican food place . It's not- It's superb, individual. Expansive menu. Excellent, excellent food. Pro tip- skip the silly valet, park your car North of lovers and walk to dinner,eat inside not next to the silly fountain. read more

We had a birthday lunch at 1 o'clock on a Saturday. There were only two other tables seated in the whole restaurant, so it was not busy. My friend brought a birthday cake that her husband had baked and they informed us it would be $25 to cut the cake which we had not even asked them to do. But not to worry, they didn't cut it. They just brought it and sat it on the table. Then we had to beg for a knife plate, plates, and forks. Their two salsas are really good. It's too bad they ration it in tiny little metal cups meant for condiments like mayo not salsa! I continually ask the waiter for refills he would only bring us one little serving for our table of 8 it was very irritating that we were all sticking our chip in the same tiny little metal cup. Several of us had the shrimp tacos and they were great. When we arrived, we ask for separate checks and we're told that they don't do separate checks so at the end when everybody needed to pay, the guy stood camped out at our table doing math with our credit cards. It was ridiculous. And in the end, not only did they charge us the $25 cake cutting fee there was an extra $30 charge that we never did figure out, but we decided to pay it versus arguing with them. It's too bad because the food is good, but there are too many great restaurants in Dallas, where people know how to treat their guests. Instead of being a birthday celebration it was kind of a big hassle. I understand the reason for their rules and if it was a packed evening on a weekend, I could probably understand the $25 charge and the no separate check rule but when you're some of the only people in their restaurant it seems like they would be happy to have us as paying customers. read more

Made a reservation online for dinner on a Thursday night, arrived just on time. We used the free valet service, walked in and were seated immediately. We got queso as our appetizer, which came with two salsas on the side. Their green salsa was our favorite, the red salsa and queso were okay, 3.5/5ish. I ordered enchiladas for dinner and got another kind of enchiladas to go, can't remember the name of either but they were both delicious! Boyfriend got their fajitas and they were delicious, but the serving of meat was kind of small. Got a Caesar salad to go and was not a big fan of the dressing, definitely not traditional Caesar dressing. Overall- loved the environment, ambiance on the patio was amazing. The enchiladas and green salsa that came out with chips and dips were some of the best I've ever had. Also the best value restaurant available for Chase Sapphire Reserve members to use their Chase open table dining credit. We will definitely be back to use the credit here again! read more

Came here on a whim and did not regret it. The food was absolutely remarkable and the vibes are amazing. We chose to sit on the patio where the roof can sometimes be open, closed, or partially open. On this particular day, the weather was perfect and the roof was partially open. The food came out quickly and was extremely delicious! The drinks were equally as good. The service was attentive, kind, and helpful. Loved it! Will be back! read more

We were here for Saturday brunch. Made the reservation ahead through Open table and got there by the time, we were seated right away and were given chips and salsa Salsa tasted great. We ordered Short Rib Enchiladas, Chile Relleno, Cheese Quesadilla & chicken fingers for kids Also ordered Street side corn and Queso Con Rojas Queso was cold by the time we got to table, corn was okay. Short Rib Enchilada were great, Chile relleno were in very watery salsa. Cheese Enchilada and Chicken finger were ok! Fries were pretty good, kids loved them. Overall mixed bag of experience with food, great ambiance read more

Tried Jose recently and really enjoyed parts of the meal. I highly recommend the ceviche and the Guava Pink mocktail -- both were fresh, flavorful, and refreshing. The tetelas were good but not great for me. They could have used a bit more flavor or juiciness and felt slightly on the dry side for my taste. Big shoutout to our server and the staff -- they were really kind and accommodating. We were a little pressed for time since I had tickets to a play, and they did their best to get our food out quickly so I could eat and make it on time. Really appreciated the great service and care. read more

My wife, daughter and I came her for lunch. The decor is very nice, I enjoyed the vibe right away. To start they give chips and green salsa to the table for free which is always a welcome surprise! As far as drinks my wife has the frozen mango margarita, and I had the smoked tequila old fashion led and switched the Tequila out for Mezcal which ended up being a $2 up-charge that the waitress did not mention. We had a second round of drinks, we both had the Horchata Sour. All the drinks were good. We had Mango & Crab salad as an app. Overall it fresh and tasty. We had a side of Plantains which were delicious! We split the Pork Belly Tacos and the Ribeye Bowl. Our daughter got the Chicken Quesadilla. Both the Tacos & Quesadilla come with rice and beans. The Quesadilla is a good portion especially for a kid. The kids menu also is interactive and comes with crayons so the kids can be entertained which is always a plus! The Pork Belly tacos were ok but the portion for the price was disappointing. I enjoyed the flavor of the rice and beans. The Ribeye Bowl was good, they keep all ingredients in separate areas of the dish. I felt there should have been a little more rice but overall it was a good dish. The waitress disappeared for a while, I wanted hot sauce for my tacos and my daughter wanted sour cream for her quesadilla but once the food was delivered to the table she never came back to check on how everything came out. I ended up eating most of my taco and rice without hot sauce and asked a separate waitress for hot sauce. Overall the experience was enjoyable, and the food was solid. This is a restaurant with a nice vibe with good food. read more

Went here for a graduation dinner with the program. They were able to set us up in the private room in the back which was much quieter and more conducive to conversations than the main dining room. I got the watermelon salad and added salmon (not on the menu but I was told it replaced the cauliflower salad), and it was so good! I just checked their website and they haven't updated the menu with this item, but you should totally ask for it. Refreshing and sweet and with the glazed salmon on top, absolutely recommend. read more

Had a nice lunch here during Happy Hour. I wasn't keen on their margarita or Paloma. I don't usually like frozen drinks but my husband's frozen seasonal margarita was a lot nicer than my two drinks. I did finish off with an Espresso martini which was the best one. Complementary chips and salsa to start off the meal, we got some guac and tried their fundido - which I enjoyed. We were already getting full before the mains even came out, got the redfish tacos and steak enchiladas. The tacos didn't wow me but the enchiladas were enjoyable. Got a slice of tres leches to go which was good. Parking is a bit of pain with the parking lot being used for valet - which seems not needed. read more

Came for my dads bday dinner. This place is loud! Not only from table conversations but they also had a live musician. I couldn't hear any convos at my table. I decided on the suiza enchiladas though im not a fan of shredded chicken but nothing else looked tempting to me from the menu. The dish came out first but it was cold. I hated telling the waitress this but she was graceful about it. When I got a fresh plate and took a bite - I loved the sauce the most. I added their roasted salsa on top and the flavor combo was delicious. read more

Some friends and I came here for a weekday lunch during the holidays. I'd recommend a reservation. The interior is unique and was nice and warm on a rare cold Dallas day. Service was fast and friendly! They also give out chips for the table :) What I'd order again: Fajitas - lots of food and the meat was tender Short rib enchiladas - super flavorful What I'd skip: The queso - not a lot of meat if you opt to add and it was just a bowl of melted cheese There's valet but street parking is not difficult to find near by. read more

A great family friendly restaurant with plenty of room for strollers or high chairs. The covered patio was lovely with a fountain. The dishes are on the higher end which is obvious with where it's located. The ribeye bowl ($22) had great quality but the portion seemed small. The langostino enchiladas ($26) come with rice but no beans, pico de gallo, sour cream, etc. Everything was good but not great. They have valet parking so we did street parking which was fairly easy to find. read more

Restaurant assesses an undisclosed 3% credit card surcharge, which is actually closer to 4% because they then calculate tax and tip on top of that. It's not anywhere on the menu, their website, or OpenTable details. Also, their POS charges tax at 8.5% instead of 8.25%...a tiny difference per diner but adds up to several thousand dollars of money in someone's pocket at the end of the year. They say reservations are highly encouraged, but then require a credit card guarantee of $15 per person when making that reservation, and no cancellations allowed within a day. So if you are a party of 8 and something comes up even with 20 hours notice, they can now charge you $120. In my opinion, at a restaurant cannot afford to serve its diners without resorting to hidden 3% surcharges or forcing people to make guarantees, perhaps it needs to be revisiting its operating model. The thing that they nail is the decor and ambiance. If I just wanted a place to sit down and hang out and maybe have a few beers, this is great. I've dined here twice now, one's with a group of 16 and one's with a group of 7. One time the food was great and the other time it was just okay. Both times the service was lacking and it took an excessive amount of time for finished items to be taken away after the meal and even longer for the check to be brought. The biggest irony to me is that they are part of the Sapphire Reserve Curated Tables program, then charge 3% to even use the card there. read more

Unfortunately will be a one time stop for us. Not a fan of the chips and salsa so it was hard to move forward from there. Fajitas were meh at best. Not the best. Not the worst. Forced to valet which is also a big no especially during lunch when dead. Wouldn't return. read more

My girlfriends and I went to Jose this week for happy hour. We sat at a regular table and ordered drinks and some food. after we were not ordering anything else the waiter, annoyed, brought our check. The bill seemed to be at regular price and not honoring happy hour prices. I asked him directly if he was charging us happy hour prices, and he said yes when we were well aware that was not the case. We did not want to make a scene but we will never go again to a place that rips you off and then lies about it rather than correct it. read more

Elevated Mexican food that was pretty solid. They provide chips and salsa, but it seemed like the chips were ones that I could buy from the grocery store for $2. I had a frozen hibiscus drink that was delicious and the Tacos Carbon were also pretty good. They have a super nice patio that was heated which was well needed on a cold day. There is also complimentary valet. read more

Love Jose's breezy and mellow atmosphere. Whether it's for their happy hour or dinner, delightful and efficient service it's been with each visit. Intoxicating are their Seasonal Frozen "Passionfruit" and "Mango Chamoy" Margaritas. As for food, while their tacos and salmon al pastor are good, excellent are their "Ceviche" and "Chile Relleno"! CHEERS! read more

Food was great and the drinks were solid--no complaints there. Everything tasted good and the overall vibe was nice. But charging $2 for Tajín on a margarita rim is wild. That's something most places include or charge way less for, so it definitely rubbed me the wrong way. I'd still come back for the food, but that kind of nickel-and-diming takes away from an otherwise great experience. read more

I ate here on a Saturday afternoon and was genuinely surprised by how disappointing the experience was. The food was incredibly bland. I ordered the fajitas, and not a single component had any flavor. The meat was bland, the beans were bland, the rice was bland, and even the cheese seemed to have no flavor whatsoever. I found myself looking for salt, which is something I've never done at a Mexican restaurant in my life. The fresh corn tortillas tasted more like cardboard or paper than fresh tortillas. The service was also slow throughout the meal. We repeatedly had to ask for additional chips, and it often felt like we were forgotten. Parking is another inconvenience. Your options are essentially valet parking or trying to find street parking nearby. To make matters worse, I was informed that paying with a credit card would result in an additional 4% charge. In an era when most people pay with cards, passing that cost directly to customers feels nickel-and-dime and left a bad impression. The portion sizes were small, the food lacked flavor, the service was slow, and the added credit card surcharge was the final straw. There are simply too many excellent Mexican restaurants in Dallas to spend time and money here. Unfortunately, I will not be returning. read more

This was a fascinating visit. We were led behind the kitchen through what looked like a secret door into a small private room. It was a pretty cool place with a nice long table, probably comfortable for up to 10 people. The food was better this time compared to last visit!!! The guac was my favorite, and was such a step up from last time. The other dishes ranged from just okay to pretty decent. read more

Service was top notch. The food was even better. From the watermelon margarita to the salsa that was absolute fire, to carve asada that was super moist and delicious. The carnitas was stellar and moist as well. Not one thing wrong with any of the food or service. Definitely have to go and try it. Not Tex Mex at all. Five stars all around! read more

In reality, this meal was a 3.5 for me sadly. I would love to start by saying the restaurant is absolutely beautiful inside, it felt like we were being whisked away to a resort in Mexico, and our waiter was extremely kind, patient, and explained all the food perfectly. The short version is that everything our waiter offered as a Chef's Special, not seen on the menu, was absolutely fantastic. The aguachile and Texas peach salad were truly phenomenal eating experiences. The shrimp aguachile was super fresh and bright and tossed in habanero ash making it all black like squid ink. What a cool eating experience. The Texas peach arugula salad was so refreshing and the bits of toasted quinoa provided an excellent crunch. The goat cheese spread on the bottom of the plate made me want to lick the bowl and the dressing it was tossed made it one of the best salads I ever ate. However the tacos I had, the Tacos de Tacha and Carbon were basic and meh. What a sad departure. The tacos de tacha is the chef's creation that changes regularly and this week was the chef's take on a Big Mac in a taco. I'm not joking. It tasted fine. But honestly it just felt like it was trying to compete with velvet taco or something. It felt gimmicky and uninspired. My steak taco was also just fine. Felt thrown together last minute. I've had better tacos at a gas station. If you want to know what José does the best, it's the green salsa that comes with the chips. I wish I could order it by the bucket. read more

The chips and salsa were absolutely amazing- the red salsa had a smokey flavor and was served warm. The enchiladas were flavorful, but could have used more sauce. The waiters were kind and helped us move tables from being directly in the sun. Patio was a nice place to sit during the good weather we were having. While their mocktail list was small, both that we tried were great and provided a great alternative if you don't want to drink! read more

Brunch at Jose never misses! Yummy cocktails (and mocktails), plenty of brunch and lunch options, and the star of the show (in my opinion) one of the BEST patios in Dallas! I always start with the Ceasar salad. It sounds simple, but the combo of hearts of palm, watermelon radish, and fresh cheese is pure perfection. On my recent visit, we had the total and chilaquiles for entree's. Both were good but the concha made the torta a little messy to eat. Everything else was great though. Service was attentive without hovering, and the covered patio made the Texas Sumner heat bearable. I look forward to trying dessert one day. I'm usually too full after brunch to even think about it! read more

Wendy was amazing. Working on her birthday and still was a trooper and a great server. Thank you!

This place was very underwhelming. We came for happy hour, order some margaritas which were not good. Also, ordered a beer. The beer had left over food in the glass as shown in one of the pictures. Then our water glasses were dirty, you can see left over lip marks on the top. You can also see our table was dirty, stains on it with a piece of hair. The tables next to us had chip crumbs under them. Do not recommend. There's plenty of other places! read more

I was here at José for a private party with free food and drinks so i didn't get to sample some of their normal menu items. We were served buffet style of tacos, pork pastor, chicken cheese enchiladas, refried black beans, rice and other fix'ins. They also were walking around with appetizers that were really good and no i didn't try the tuna stuff, but others said it was good. The best part is the bar, only cause they have a great selection of tequilas and i mean great. A whole lot of additive free choices like Lalo, Ocho, Mijenta and most of all Fortaleza. I was so impressed i just had to get the Fortaleza ($17.00). Yes it is a little expensive but when you've been lookin for this for years you just need to go for it and i was glad i did. It was great. The employees here were very attentive and very friendly. I would like to go back and try some of their other menu items and get me some more Fortaleza LOL. read more

José has a fun, colorful, and busy, ambiance that just works. It feels like a local neighborhood restaurant and is located fairly close to Love Field. Parking is severely limited but a Valet service is provided. The manager of the restaurant came out and visited tables to ensure quality service. However, our waitress seemed distracted and was typing on their phone while they were standing in front of our table immediately before taking our orders on two occasions. The queso was a good appetizer and you can tell it was homemade with heavy cream. The green salsa is good and fresh. The red salsa is acidic and served warm which wasn't bad but definitely not what I expected. The chips were bland and took away from the fresh salsa. We would've liked to add salt to the chips but there were not salt and pepper shakers on the table. The house margarita and Paloma were fantastic with generous portions of tequila (and mezcal) I recommend the house Paloma made with Mezcal or the Smoked Old Fashioned made with tequila (trust me!) Unfortunately, the main courses were underwhelming and felt very heavy. We tried the Baja Tacos, Enchilada Suizas, Park Cities Enchiladas, and Tacos Al Carbon. Where we expected something fresh or innovative but the entrees were smothered in sauce and "thick". The Tacos al Carbon were good in flour but the Baja Tacos were overly fishy and oily from the fryer. One of the Baja tacos also was missing the ash sauce. Josè is a fun vibe and would be a great place to grab some cocktails and appetizers with friends but I would not come back for a full dinner. read more

We went as a family to celebrate my birthday. We had excellent service and even better foood!

Jose, the restaurant was really tasty. Everything from guacamole to ceviche was spot on. More authentic than tex Mexican my favorite was the chicken in mole. Was dissapointed that in our dinner format the chile relleno was by request only. Everything else on the menu was pre ordered. The al pastor riblets were great, the carne asada over smashed potatoes were tasty. The quality was very good, service was very good, and the ambiance was warm yet elegant on the patio where were seated. read more

Was visiting Dallas for a family event and researched places to visit. Selected José after reading it was nominated for a James Beard Award. We got there right for the end of the lunch hours. Ordered the soup and salad lunch special and the carnitas de olla. My personal favorite out of the three was the crab and mango salad. I have to say it tasted amazing! I would have never thought of that combo and now I want to have it as often as I can. The totopos and salsa were delicious as well. I'm a chips and salsa girl and I have to say these were definitely on the top 3 I have had. We finished with a cafe de olla that was so delicious that it didn't need sugar or milk. As we were leaving we were offered a sample of the house mezcal that has just been launched recently. Great addition to their offering. Overall a fantastic experience and will love to visit again for dinner. Highly recommended. read more
