This is one of my most favorite ❤️ places ever. I absolutely love the authentic traditional Mexican food. I highly recommend the pozole and chicken tacos on white. But really, anything you order will be delicious l! The food is always good with top notch service and the atmosphere is fun and quirky. This is the place to go for feel good food.

My favorite Mexican restaurant in town! I eat here at least twice a week! Service and atmosphere is great and the food is always the best! Staff have become like family!

My boyfriend and I placed a takeout order and also requested a complimentary to-go water. After receiving our items, we left the restaurant and began walking home, as we live only a few blocks away. While taking a sip of the water, I noticed a black hair inside the cup near the straw.
Due to this, we returned to the restaurant to request a refund. I calmly and politely explained the situation, being mindful not to cause a disturbance for other customers. The staff took our food and disposed of it. I then asked whether they needed our card to process the refund. At that point, the staff began laughing and stated they could not do anything about it.
They claimed the issue was not serious because the hair was in the water rather than the food and stated that since the water was complimentary, it was not a concern. I then asked to speak with a manager. The owner responded by laughing as well and said there was nothing she could do.
Just disputing our charges and reporting this to the health department!!! Don’t recommend what so ever

The food at this spot was absolutely delicious—so flavorful and yummy. The place itself is adorable, with a cozy, welcoming vibe. The only downside was that our waitress seemed a bit annoyed and kind of intimidating, which made things a little uncomfortable at times. That said, we still had a good time overall and would go back for the food and atmosphere alone!

Papa Jose’s is my favorite Mexican food place for lunch in Pueblo. Every single time I have eaten here, the food is on point. The staff are very friendly and the food comes out quickly and piping hot. In the summer they have a very nice patio with a great view of Union Ave. Plenty of little shops surround it to walk off a happy full tummy.

Papa Jose’s is delicious! I ordered the Tamale dish with green chili smothered and my husband ordered Chili Relenos. There’s also a kid menu (and high chairs), but instead of buying a food item $5+ on the kids menu we ordered a soft taco for $3.50ish. We have a 13 month old so the taco was enough with extra to spare.
We got complementary chips and salsa after 5pm ($1 for refills). The chips were warm and crunchy. The tamales were moist, not dry, which is great. The plate super filling. My husband enjoyed his rellenos with red sauce. He said it was really good, however he does like his rellenos more crispy. We also ordered fried ice cream. Super delicious however the center was still very much hard frozen making it hard to push my spoon through it. Yummy though!
The dining room, super clean and taken care of. The decor is cute, little gecko and lizards on one wall. Our waitress was extremely friendly and helpful.
I’m most surprised and appreciative of the cost to eat here. Very affordable compared to a lot of Pueblo restaurants that we’ve visited. I was able to get my dinner for just under $10 my husbands plate was $13. The prices are a huge factor that will drive success and business to this restaurant in this current economy.
I strongly recommend Papa Jose’s Union Cafe.

Okay, I’m back to really liking this restaurant. I hadn’t been back in a while after a bad experience with some of the staff(some rude women). I don’t know if they knew we could hear them talking smack about us in the kitchen or didn’t care, but I was so embarrassed I just wanted to leave right then. I finally came back and it’s good to see they’re gone. There is much friendlier staff now.
The food has always been pretty good!
Edit: I went recently after it reopened and added a . Stayed true to taste!

I’m surprised we have not been here before. It’s fairly cute with seating inside and outside. We sat outside since it was a beautiful day. The restaurant was fairly busy for a weekday afternoon.
We ordered the nachos richos and chicken taquitos appetizer. We also got the classic and house special margarita. The nachos were pretty decent and came with jalapenos which were nice and hot. That was a good addition. The taquitos were fried, very warm and delicious but bland. They came with guacamole which was very good, sour cream and the salsa which I had to add to every bite. I also got a side of their hot green chili and it was decently hot and very good and tasty.
As far as the drinks go, the house special margarita comes with amaretto. I did not like it. I preferred the regular one. Beware, it feels light and smooth but hits you by the time you’ve finished it! We could do with a lot more salt on the rim than what the glasses had.
All in all, a positive experience and we will be back.

This was the first time eating here. I had the cheese enchiladas and the wife had the chicken taco salad. Both were very tasty. Chips and salsa….. off the hook. We will definitely be back.
Place was quick, quiet, and clean. Staff was very friendly and prompt. Restrooms were clean. Total cost for meal was less than $30 and that was with two adult beverages.
