Don Jose Mexican Restaurant on Wilkins Avenue has been a family favorite of ours for years, and for good reason. It’s one of those places that makes you feel right at home the moment you walk in. The staff are always incredibly friendly, welcoming guests with genuine smiles and great service that never feels rushed, even during busy times.

The chips and salsa are always fresh, and their salsa has just the right balance of flavor and heat to keep you reaching for more.

Read moreMe and my befriend went here for our first date and had an amazing experience! Staff was very friendly and attentive and the atmosphere of the restaurant is incredibly beautiful and inviting. Portion sizes are crazy as we ended up taking leftovers home that we ended up eating as a late night that was delicious even then. This is now our special place that we would more than enjoy going back to on more than one occasion. Definitely recommend for anyone who enjoys authentic Mexican food at a reasonable price. Thanks again for the wonderful experience and hope to see y’all again...
