definitely the best Mexican restaurant in the area. It isnt that far off from some very decent Mexican restaurants I used to go to in the Los Angeles area. My only complaint (and its a big one), is their margaritas. The mix they use completely sucks, its so artificial and overly sweet. I have only tried the classic lime one but come on guys its hard enough finding restaurants that serve alcohol in New Jersey. Just buy the margarita mix from Trader Joes or something if you cant figure out a better formula. That really puts a damper on my trips there.

Food was very good and at a very good price. Went for lunch around 1pm and there was no wait. However, the cook, and perhaps the waiter too messed up both mine and my friends order. I ordered a beef burrito and they gave me chicken, and my friend ordered the fajitas and they gave her a burrito. They remade her order quickly, but I didnt realize my was wrong until after her new order came and I didnt want to wait for them to remake my food too. Again it was all still very good. The flan was good too, and our waiter was very courteous.

I went with my family on a Friday night and waited in a very packed front bar area. I accidently broke a glass and the staff came over angrily and shooed me away. They didnt ask if I wanted the drink replaced and I had to go get another myself. Its a minor issue but left me feeling like they dont really care. The food was just OK and the rest of the table service was also not very friendly. Not sure if it was the language barrier or just the dinner rush, but either way I was not satisfied.

This has been my FAVORITE spot since they opened. I love Mexican food and they have never let me down. My mom suggested we try another Mexican restaurant since we always go to Don Joses and that place was horrible! Never again will I try any other Mexican restaurant. I come here EVERY time Im asked where I wanna eat. The staff members are ALL friendly, Ive never had an issue here and my food has always come out so fast which is amazing because I hate waiting for my food.

Best place ever grate family own business ...love the food and my wife loves the double margarita frozen drink my kids love this place we go every month twice and every year for Cinco de Mayo ....service its great and they are always there if need something ...the only issue is that when its busy you have to wate to be seated and its a long wate but overall its the best place in Morris county I give it 10 thumbs up ....and the mariachi are wonderful ..

Service was extremely slow,everyone else tables were being waited on within reasonable times except ours. We had to get anothers tables waiter attention to ask for service at our table,mind you it was a random Wednesday evening so there was no crowd.....food tasted very inauthentic,like everything was store bought.....not going back. Maybe the high rating came from locals whove never eaten at better Mexican restaurants,sorry not sorry.

Went for lunch with two of my co-workers. The hostess greeted us and sat us quickly in one of the booths. The booths, chairs, and tables were all perfectly themed with little spanish styled landscapes. We ordered the chili and it was delicious! I had the chicken Guadalajara and it was one of the best dishes Ive ever had at a Mexican restaurant. I highly recommend Don Jose and will be back again for lunch.

Tried it for the first time since living here 19 years. Good Food, mariachi band, atmosphere =fun. Kicking ourselves for not coming here earlier. Wait staff friendly, bartender not so much, he never acknowledged us while we sat waiting for our table. We will be back for sure. No reservations accepted , was about a half hour wait on a Saturday night.

Seated by "greeter" w/o a greeting. Didnt get a waiter at our table until about 15 minutes, which we had to ask for ourselves. Food was below average. Chips tasted straight out the bag, the ground beef in my taco wasnt seasoned at all, salsa was bland. Only thing that was somewhat decent was the decor.

If you want to be treated like human trash, and not cared about then this place is for you. Waiters dont speak or understand English and yell at you when they get your order wrong. This really old guy got violent with my 62 year old mother. I have never been to such a awful restaurant.

Wonderful place. Great for both families and older folk looking for a place to have good food and drinks. Last time I had mexican food was at their location in East Hanover about 5 years back and they do not dissapoint! Good prices, large portions, great food. Definitely recommend!

The wait staff here was the best! Attentive and they all cheerfully helped each other for overall great service. Food was above average and margarita was great. Decor is bright, cheerful, and not politically correct, making for a fun atmosphere.

My friends and I were really sad when our local Mexican place closed down and we found this place and its become our go to! They are always friendly and their food is always good. I especially like their enchiladas and their black beans.

The drinks are the only thing good about this place, the food is TERRIBLE! Everything tastes like it comes from a can. Dodge this one, go to the Don Joses in Hanover, which is a fantastic restaurant. Shame this one isnt any good.

I absolutely love this place. The atmosphere is great and the prices are reasonable. The bar area is very clean. For Cinco de Mayo you wont find a place to sit here. Very busy.Excellent restaurant. 5 stars.

One of my favorite restaurants anywhere. Delicious, fast, affordable, amazing service. Everyone needs to eat here. Just not at a time when I want to eat there - it can get crowded on the weekends.

We ordered food for pick up. Things were made in a timely manner and ready when we got there. Food (chimichangas and shrimp verde)was very dry when we got home and excessively sauced to compensate.

decent place. would have gotten a higher rating but they are not honest. inadvertently left my umbrella there and only after few hours coming back to retrieve, they said they dont have it.

Awesome mango margarita, got the garlic chicken entree, and my boyfriend loved the #1 dinner combo. The mariachi was very entertaining and talented. Love the whole happy vibe here.

Excellent service. The usual Mexican sides of rice and beans are bland, bordering on unpleasant, but their entrées and house made salsa are delicious.

Pretty decent food, a bit pricey though. Then again you dont really have any other choices around here when it comes to Mexican food.
