" The vibe here is always buzzing! I had a lovely time dining alone and trying their signature margarita. I was impressed by the balance of flavors in my meal. Each ingredient felt fresher than the last and while the prices are higher than fast food, the quality is definitely worth it. " (*Curated Review*)

" My visit to Chez José was overall enjoyable, but it wasn’t without its issues. The atmosphere is vibrant and welcoming, which is a plus. However, my chicken fajitas lacked the seasoning I’d hoped for and felt overpriced. The service was great; they were attentive and friendly the whole time! " (*Curated Review*)

" A place I can always count on! The menu has lots of options, and I've found everything to be delicious. My go-to are the carnitas tacos. Paired with their house salsa, they are divine! I like to see spots that are community-focused, and Chez José feels like a little family in the neighborhood. Love it! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place never fails to deliver excellent food and service. The previous owners were great, but the new team is just as impressive. The flavors are perfectly balanced, and the staff is incredibly polite. I would suggest trying the fish tacos—they are among the best in Portland! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was a bit disappointed after hyping this place up in my mind from all the positive reviews. The food was good, but not as authentic as I hoped. The service was friendly but slightly slow. Maybe I just hit it on an off day. " (*Curated Review*)

" Chez José has always been a favorite of mine. I love the feel of the place! It’s like stepping into a colorful festivity each time I visit. The lime chicken enchiladas are to die for! The trick is to top it with their fresh salsa. Staff are friendly and the drinks are refreshing. A must-visit in Portland! " (*Curated Review*)

" Having lived in Mexico for years, I often have high standards for Mexican food. Chez José met most of my expectations, but the flavors could be a bit bolder. The ambiance is lively and the service very nice. Portions were adequate but the prices felt a tad high for what was served. " (*Curated Review*)
