" Just had my first meal at Don Jose’s! The service was excellent as our server was very attentive and friendly. The food, however, was a bit hit or miss. I enjoyed the pork belly tacos, but the shrimp tacos were overcooked. The margarita I had was strong but a bit too sweet for my taste. I enjoyed the atmosphere overall but I hope they can iron out the kinks in the kitchen. I might come back to give it another chance! " (*Curated Review*)

" My dining experience at Don Jose’s was quite enjoyable. The staff was friendly, and I absolutely loved the ambiance! The enchiladas were rich and flavorful, but I thought they could have used just a little more heat. The salsa was refreshing and paired perfectly with the chips. Overall, it was a great evening, and I’ll definitely be revisiting soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been eagerly awaiting Don Jose’s opening, and it was worth the wait! The food was incredibly delicious—especially the tacos and the chips that just hit the spot! The drinks had unique spins on traditional recipes, which was a pleasant surprise. I can’t wait to bring my family next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" I enjoyed my experience at Don Jose’s. The food was flavorful, and the quesadillas were memorable. My only issue was that I found them to be slightly greasy, which took away from the overall experience. Service was good, attentive but not overbearing. Clean environment makes it a good place for lunch or dinner. I'll definitely be coming back to try more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" My meal at Don Jose’s was a mixed bag. On one hand, I enjoyed the creativity in some of their dishes like the churros with a twist. On the other hand, the oily chips were a turn-off, and I found the tacos too salty. The service was decent, but I expected a little more attention from the waitstaff given the hype. I'd consider giving it another shot to try different menu items. " (*Curated Review*)

" Not a bad spot, but it didn't live up to the rave reviews I had heard. I found the tacos to be rather average and expecting something a little more authentic. The chips were overly salted, which was disappointing. Still, the atmosphere was nice, and the service was solid. I might give it another try on a different occasion. " (*Curated Review*)

" I hesitated at first because of the price, but I'm glad I tried Don Jose’s. The food was flavorful and the service was attentive. I found the tacos to be a bit too heavily seasoned for my taste, but overall, the experience was good. The atmosphere was lively, and I'll likely return to try different dishes! " (*Curated Review*)
