Friendly staff and good food. Convenient location near Gibbs and I’ve never had to wait for a table. I will revisit for sure.

Third strike and I’m done. This place was great at one time but not sure what is going on now. It is SO inconsistent with the quality of food, it’s too much of a risk to even bother anymore. Last night was the last time you get into my wallet for $40. Ordered the fajita plate for 2 with steak chicken and shrimp. While i wont say it was inedible , i will say it had as much flavor as the container it came in. As far as the side trays that contained the rice , beans , avocado and lettuce , it was the saddest looking sides you can imagine and seemed to have been premade and refrigerated because the beans and rice were ICE cold. I’m not talking room temperature cold, REFRIGERATOR cold. Maybe I’m the only one who feels like this place is failing hard because it seems to be always packed in the evenings and on weekends, or maybe everyone up here is just desperate for food and figures its better then nothing but for me, I’ve given them 3 times now within the last 3 months and i wont be going back ever again. Too many MUCH better Mexican restaurants to go to then to be served just another plate of regret.

This is our go to restaurant for dinner out. They are close to us and we are always treated great by all employees and the owner. Love the food.

I used to love this place. I used to go here a lot. The food used to be very good but now the chicken is undercooked and slimy. The service sucks. You are lucky to get a refill or see your waiter or waitress again after you get your meal you can wait up to 30 minutes to an hour for shit food. I don’t know what happened to this place but it’s a shame.

My husband has been wanting to come back here and I didn’t look at my review otherwise…
Not much has changed. Tonight I had the Pollo Fundido. The chicken was well done. It had cheese on it. I asked for no green peppers but I found a few (not a lot though). The salsa was more tasty than last time. By the rice was still bland as always. They had guacamole which they didn’t have last time. The portion of chicken was big enough that I brought some home. I hope it be will be good when heated up. It did lack salt though. While the waitress was not always available she was smiling and friendly.
Best to go elsewhere if you want a real Mexican. There is a new Mexican restaurant called Taco Madres. A bit expensive but worth it.
I don’t think the owners look at the reviews otherwise they would see that they need improvement. Maybe they don’t care about their customers.
New and last update: Friday Oct 21, 2022.
It has been a year since I last came here. I was hoping things got better. This is my third and last time I come here. I’m disappointed.
I had the Quesidilla Rellena (chicken). The rice was bland, as usual. At first the lettuce and guacamole (on top of salad) tasted good but the more I ate it it tasted stale. I even took out some rotten pieces. The Quesidilla tasted off. The chicken was dry and it was a good thing that there was refried beans and melted cheese in it to make it more palatable. I had to add salsa to it to make it tasty. Oh, the salsa was good though. The sweet tea almost had no taste except for the lemon.
Like I said, this was my 3rd time coming here but my last time. Don Jose used to be my ##1 Mexican restaurant but it has went down hill over the years. I think they may have gotten too lax in their cooking since they have 4 stars rating.
If you want real good Mexican food, there is Tacolandia in Maynardville #1, and Plaza Mexico #2 (corner Maynardville Pike and Emory Rd).
Review from one year ago:
Update: Rating has went down from a 5 star to a 3 star.
I came today in Sunday Aug 29 2021. The service was slow. I ordered a chicken fajita and it took 7 minutes to get to me. It usually is not long to serve it. The food tasted good but I found a hair under the lettuce. I called the waiter and he in turn called the manager. While he did get me a new plate of salad, he said that no one in the kitchen had long hair and looked at me as if I had planted it there. I told him that if the hair was in top of the salad I could maybe consider it mine but it was under the salad. He did give me a new plate but I kinda lost my appetite. The service was slow when I ordered and other people were served before me.
My husband and I came here 2 years ago. He just updated his review. He had the Huevos Con Chorizo. He loved it. And an unsweet tea.
I had the Chicken Fajita. It was better than I remembered 2 years ago and back then I would have given it a 5 star. The rice was flavorful. Some other Mexican restaurants the rice is tasteless. The salsa was delicious. I couldn’t get enough of it. They didn’t give a lot of salad with the side plate but when I asked for more they did not charge me other places would of. I had a sweet tea. It was perfect, not too sweet.
It cost us a a total of $22.40 so about $11.20 each. It’s a good price, better that what we paid at Ruby Tuesday 2 days ago.
This place has moved up to 1.a in the category of favorite Mexican restaurants.

It’s a pretty good place with good margaritas and pretty standard Mexican food. Better than some of the other places locally and nice staff. If you are craving Mexican, this place will give you the basics, cooked well and with everything you would expect.

There’s not many Mexican food places to eat in the Luttrell, Corryton, And Blaine area. This one is clearly one of the best though. It’s affordable, delicious, and Definitely worth the price.
This is what i would consider a “traditional” Mexican restaurant. It’s what you expect, but, it delivers well.
I got the #15 with a burrito, Chile con queso, and queso dip. My wife got the nachos supremos, a margarita,, and steak taco.

Good food and the lunch atmosphere was nice. It was busy but we got our food relatively quick.
