Jose's Mexican Restaurant — Restaurant in Tahlequah

What a nice sunny warm winter day to take a spin to Tahlequah. Add fantastic authentic traditional food from Jose’s Mexican Restaurant and it doesn’t get much better.

Jose’s is located on the east side of the S. Muskogee Ave. on Monroe. The restaurants had been in business for quite a few years. The locals know where it is. Google search pays off for those of us that don’t.

Jose’s menu is small, with all the right stuff. Tacos, Gorditas, Sopes, Burritos, Enchiladas, Tortas and a good selection of meats. All that you need and nothing that you don’t for authentic Mexican food. Three sopes for me and my wife got the enchilada plate. We ordered barbacoa for both meals. I added a small queso, salsa and chips. They cost extra. They are worth it. The sopes were excellent, very filling. Two would have been enough. The red sauce on my wife’s enchiladas was the real deal traditional red chili sauce. The barbacoa was well seasoned, tender chunks of beef. Salsa wise, the mild was fair, the picante had bite and flavor, the queso excellent and the green was world class delicious. The green salsa was served warm and it was wonderful! Excellent authentic food, served fresh, good service, order at the counter. A clean restaurant with a big dining area.

Jose’s has some of the best of what I call traditional authentic style Mexican food, that we have had in Oklahoma.

Best Mexican restaurant in town. Take it from a Mexican himself, this place offers authentic Mexican food. I love "Mexican-American" (Tex-Mex) food too, but when I want the taste of what I actually grew up eating, this is where I go. Tacos, tortas, sopes, tostadas, and more are prepared with carne asada (my favorite), pork "al pastor," chicken, barbacoa, etc. Paco, the manager, is always ready to make you feel welcome as if you were a guest at his own home. It used to be a little-known secret that this place's food was so great, but word has gotten around....
