This place has such good food!! We came for dinner and we especially loved the churasco but even the chips and salsa were yummy! The place is empty because they don't serve alcohol but their food is really good. The place is clean and even the bathrooms are nice. Definitely check it out if you're in the area. The salsa is not spicy, the Papua has a nice crisp, and the steak was cooked perfectly!! read more

Terrible and expensive, feel bad for the people that go for their first time without knowledge of what they're going to get. Not worth it, left and went to a different restaurant across the street with better service and quality choices. If you want to be ripped off then that's your choice. read more

It was amazing. Plenty of options to choose from and for a place that has a bakery right next to the restaurant It was just the icing on top. Server was new but she was amazing definitely has experience. Wait for food was about 20 minutes but came fairly quickly. If you have someone you want to take on a date or just enjoy good food then I'd definitely recommend taking a look inside. Will be coming back for sure. read more

Upon entering the restaurant, first impressions is the elegant yet homey style of the interior. They had a small breakfast buffet setup however we preferred ordering from the menu. I ordered nachos & pupusas meanwhile my wife ordered some sort of seafood soup (we forgot the name but she said was very tasteful). They brought fair plate of chips & salsa which made me think that was my order of nachos but immediately I was thinking that this portion was not worth the cost BUT they proved me wrong by bringing in the order of nachos with toppings which was well worth the pricing. The service was friendly and attentive. Atmosphere was welcoming. We had a great experience & would definitely go back. read more

I wanted to try this place and went with my family 2 weeks ago. We arrived at 8pm (restaurant closed at 10pm that day). The young lady that served us seemed to not know what she was doing. When asked about specifics from the menu she didn't know. In English or Spanish she seemed to not understand what we wanted. Spoke very soft you could barely hear her. Food was ok pasta overcooked. The place was empty so no surprise there after our experience. We won't be back. Muy decepcionados con el servicio y la comida, la empleada parecía perdida cuando le preguntábamos cosas del menú. La orden de mi hija la trajeron mal con todo y que fue clara en lo que quería. No volveremos. read more

Never been to the diner , but concerning the bakery ugh! Worst pan ever ,cold , saggy,old. Bad just bad read more

Very nice atmosphere and the food its amazing. The service it's really good. I would come back.

This is an amazing restaurant with great food! I love that their food has a bit of everything that you would look for in a Hispanic restaurant; tacos, pupusas, and even guisados. They also have really good steaks, but I would recommend the Churrasco :) The service is really nice, and they have Christian music playing in the background. The atmosphere is definitely family friendly. 10/10!! read more

Dined here for a birthday dinner at the recommendation of a friend. Called ahead to see if they would be open at 9:30 as we were coming all the way from Tysons. They graciously accommodated us, even though we arrived at 9:45, and provided exemplary service. Our server was attentive and kind, going above and beyond to ensure my daughter had a wonderful birthday dinner. What's more, the server brought in a delightful tres leches from the adjacent bakery, which I highly recommend. The family-oriented nature of the staff and the faith-based music playing softly in the background made our family feel welcome from the moment we entered. When we returned for a second visit, the staff remembered us, enhancing our dining experience. We've been back once already and look forward to our next visit. read more

I came here on a random whim when my go-to local bar was packed. S.O. and we wanted somewhere to eat nearby. The place was highly rated but given that it just opened, I wasn't sure how trustworthy the reviews were. Now that I've eaten here once, I must say the reviews were justified. The restaurant was very empty when we came in, just one other table was occupied but it looked like it might've been the owners/workers. We were a bit skeptical about it and almost wanted to turn around and leave. I'm so glad we didn't. The variety on the menu is a bit daunting. They have American to Italian and of course Latino food. My S.O. ordered the Don Jose's Steak Sandwich and I got the Pollo Al Horno. Both dishes were excellent and they were gigantic portions. The chicken I had was so flavorful and juicy. The chicken was a steal for $15, you got a half a chicken cooked to perfection and it came with a side salad and rice (but I subbed the rice for brussels sprouts which were so tasty). My S.O. loved his steak sandwich which came with fries. Service staff were great, a few different people stopped by to check on us. They were almost overly attentive but they really just wanted to make sure we were happy with everything. We'll definitely be back to try more dishes. There is a private room for parties and the furniture looks brand new. Its tastefully decorated. The music playing isn't too loud and is pleasant to hear while dining. read more

My wife came here wanting to support local businesses. When she walked in, her first impression was, "This is anything I can get at the supermarket bakery down the street." Nevertheless, she bought 4 pastries, to support the local establishment. They were not good. The cookies were like burned cake batter cookies. The turnovers were Sahara dry, with a bare essence of filling. The service was prompt and polite. We wish them well. read more

I liked the ambiance, beautiful music in the background and great to dine in with the family. The servers were polite and always around if you need anything. The Latin food tastes great,and I loved the presentation on the plates. I will definitely come back! read more

Don Jose’s Kitchen - Grilled calamari - Latin American Near Me - Manassas, Virginia

See all

The menu is quirky with typical kind of diner foods mixed in with a few Latin American dishes. Prices are on par with sit down nicer places in the area. Service was very nice though it was just us at 12:00. I had a salad and the birria taco which was overcooked for my tastes (outside was burned) and the broth needed salt but the salsa was delicious. Salad was pretty decent with a nice portion of chicken and a few sprinkles of cheese and pecans. Dressing was tasty but it's very thin and pooled at the bottom so there is a sogginess alert to be made there though the kale and Brussels stood up well at lunch. We shall see with the left overs for tonight. We also tried the bakery. Flan is enough for two at least. Delicious! Super sweet as to be expected. Pineapple upside down cake: A miss. Cake is dryish and there is an overpowering taste of cinnamon. No carmelized crust on the pineapple. They serve lavazza coffee for those interested. I might go back but not any time soon. read more

Came here starving and Don Jose delivered me from hunger. 2nd location with an attached bakery to satisfy my dinner cravings with my family. The fam was on a seafood kick and I was craving steak. Each meal was delightfully tasteful and full of flavor. The shrimp entrees came with buff shrimp and large accompanying sides that went home with us and filled our bellies for next day lunch. Our sweet tooth cravings were satisfied with there bakery full of many desirable desserts. Service was great and wait time was none. Come eat at Don Jose if you have an appetite!! read more

So the experience starts with being greeted at the door by wonderful people. The open concept for the restaurant is refreshing it's extremely clean and the customers were just as friendly as the staff. The service was fast and prompt. They continue to ask if we needed anything. It was absolutely wonderful. Then the food comes out and the presentation was amazing and considering how quickly they served it. I don't know how they did it. The food was perfectly cooked. All three of us agreed it was some of the best seafood we've ever had Being from Boston and a foodie I have to tell the people here that are local you have a wonderful local restaurant that the next time I visit the area I plan to come back to. read more

Don Jose's Kitchen is a great discovery in Manassas. My wife and I walked in the door expecting a south of the border menu only to find they have a good variety of everything - steaks, seafood, pastas, salads, tacos... you name it. We have been there several times and find the food and service are very good. I cannot express how genuinely nice everyone is and that alone is reason enough to give them a try. While not inexpensive, the prices are fair and we receive generous portions. Word of warning, once you have the plantains as a complementary appetizer, you are hooked. Don't say I didn't warn you. But that is a good thing! There is a bakery located at the entrance and, while not officially part of the restaurant, it is affiliated and is a nice bonus. Recommended! read more

Outstanding food with a full bakery right next door, what could be better!?!?!? I ordered the rainbow trout that is covered in lobster sauce, the penne jambalaya and a chicken appetizer and everything was spot on, and absolutely fantastic. The flavors are really something, and the size of the portions was large and on the generous side. Everything was wonderful, cooked perfectly and tasted amazing so the hype is real and I will definitely be back. I am so pleased to have discovered this gem right here in Manassas down the street from where I live. read more

Service was good and the restaurant was pretty and clean. The food was a bit pricy for Manassas but considering the steak and quality served, I think it was worth it. They have a bakery next door and their treats are amazing too. The different dolce de leche cakes were great!

MANASSAS'S BEST KEPT LATIN-FUSION SECRET I took my family of four (with two teens) on a Friday night to Don Jose's for the first time. We love Spanish/Latin food, and we were delighted! The dining room is beautiful with tall ceiling and warm lighting. The wait staff was friendly and considerate, and the chef/owner even came by to say hello. The menu reads a bit like a diner, with a variety of international and domestic dishes. I recommend the Flayed Tilapia and the Churrasco Steak. HINT: You may not notice the restaurant at first as the Don Jose's sign is over Bakery, which is well-lit. read more

Recommend! Food is good - try the calamari with lobster cream sauce! We also had the churrasco. Very filling! Attentive service and good food! read more
