They changed their chorizo. I ordered egg and chorizo burrito, and it tastes like egg. It’s debatable the chorizo tastes like regular sausage. Even after they remade it, it still tastes like egg only with a hint of regular sausage.
They say it’s in the burrito, and the new chorizo is cheaper with less flavor. They are still charging $5-$6 per burrito though. It’s just not worth it anymore. Why even sell Chorizo if it’s not gonna be the real thing. Thanks and have a good day.

On Sunday 3/8/26 ordered Carne Guisada Chimichanga. Imagine my surprise when they charged me $12.69 . After I paid I had to wait almost 30 minutes for them to fry the Chimichanga. You would of thought the Chimichanga would be pretyybgood size for the price I paid. Wrong. It was about the size of my fist and after frying it, it was rolled up tightly in foil and stuffed inside a small paper sack. No beans, no rice, no garnish. No eating utensils and no napkins. And of course when I unwrapped the Chimichanga, it was very soggy because after frying it was wrapped up in foil. It didn’t taste good at all. Very disappointed. For a really good Beef Chimichanga with beans, rice, garnish, cheese, eating utensils, napkins I highly recommend Polibertos at 7601 82nd. And delicious for $10.81. Shame on you Josie’s.

It’s hard to give an honest and appropriate rating, how good and how accurate the food is varies greatly from day to day and from whoever seems to be working what shift.
For example, sometimes my food is exactly how I order it, freshly made, fully cooked, and well seasoned.
I’ll use a simple potato, egg, and cheese burrito as an example.
Sometimes it’s under cooked, the potatoes in particular. Sometimes it’s not even salted, sometimes it’s way over salted.
Sometimes they cook with butter/oil (very good and normal!) sometimes they cook with bacon grease (DISGUSTING and violates people who have dietary restrictions like pork and meat products)
If I order something as basic as eggs cheese and potatoes, I only want to taste eggs, cheese, potatoes, salt, and butter.
This is one of the only places in Lubbock you can order a fully vegetarian dish, but you can’t expect it to be made in a properly accommodating way because of how inconsistent the meal preparation and quality are.
I’m a VERY frequent patron, but I find myself never being optimistic, especially lately about whether or not I’m going to get what I expect. The only reason I have continued to give business is because it’s a small local place, and I’d rather eat somewhere disappointing and local than some big chain that will also probably get stuff wrong, and like I said above, sometimes it’s exactly what I want and exactly what I ordered, but WAY too often it’s either not what I ordered, or even worse not even edible.
Stop cooking with bacon grease if someone is not ordering bacon. It’s disgusting, and unless you openly disclose that’s how you prepare your food, you’re actively harming people with dietary restrictions and violating some people’s religious practices.

Called ahead for breakfast. Still had to wait 40 minutes to receive my food. Was given the wrong order. Had to drive back to Josie’s restaurant in order to get a refund and was told my order would be comped but once arriving nobody wanted to take responsibility for the mistake. Worst of all they never refunded me. They CHARGED ME TWICE! I have called every day and still haven’t heard from the manger, Dena.
Here’s a copy of the wrong food I paid for. 64$ for like 9 burritos. Way over priced. Do Not go to Mama Josie’s

I’ve gotten breakfast burritos several times and always been very happy. Tried the combination plate today- tostada, taco, and enchilada with rice and beans for $13 with tax. Nice value! Beans are good, albeit a bit salty on their own. Rice was unremarkable. Tostada was loaded and fresh. Taco was very tasty and fresh. Didn’t love the enchilada sauce but still the enchilada was good. Very good value and food.

I ordered a burrito and small chips. I paid with a 50, she gave me back 29 dollars in change. I was like what did I order for 20 dollars. When the lady at the window handed me my food I asked for receipt, she said there’s one in the bag. It only had what I ordered, not an itemized receipt. When she gave me one, she was trying to quickly shut the window I stopped her and told her she shorted me 10. She wasn’t surprised at all, like she already knew what she had done. She just grabbed 10 and gave it to me. Now on to the food, it lacked color and tasted like they cooked the rice or carne guisada in an old pot or nasty water. The food taste like an old bucked of sitting water. needless to say never again. Don’t waste your money!!

I used to have this place on my crap list.
No lie. They really were bad.
Recently tried them again..
And my goodness.
Food has been fresh. Delicious. A total reversal.
I’ve been there like 5 times the last month or so.
Chimichanga has been my fave.

I got here around 1:30 and there were cars in front of me, I thought I was gonna be there for ever, but the line moved pretty fast, and they hooked me up with some of the best nachos around town! Only thing is, who ever does their truck sucks, because how are u gonna sell Mexican food and not order enough guacamole to sell? I’m definitely coming back!

Terrible service had to call five different times in a matter of 30 minutes, not even trying to blow the phone up, I waited 5-10 minutes between. then when they finally did pick up the phone they just put me on hold for 25 minutes and never came back on the line, I’m sure that was to shut down their phone system so that no one else could also try and make a Call in to go order. This is a drive up counter service restaurant with no dining area if they can’t take orders over the phone that’s a problem.
