I had a few hours to burn before my flight so I decided to hang out here rather than at the airport. As soon as I was seated, I was immediately greeted by a server with fresh salsa and chips at my table. The menu has so many things to choose from to include tacos, the grill, burritos, enchiladas, quesadillas, chimichangas, appetizers, as well as soups and salads. They also have lots of margaritas to choose from to include margarita pours and margarita Flights and specialty drinks as well. Beer and wine also available as well as other liquors to choose from. I started with a side of guac and a margarita flight both were very tasty-guacamole was fresh. I also had the ceviche which was also very fresh and very tasty. This is the perfect place to have a good time and drink with friends. The margaritas do not disappoint as they were amazing! I think I'm ready for my flight. read more

Ordered two chicken fajitas using Uber Eats delivery. There's a huge difference between charred and burnt. The chicken and especially the veggies on both plates were absolutely burnt. Tried to pick out the chicken and remove the blackest burned to a crisp parts to salvage lunch. Super disappointing. How does any manager allow this to leave the kitchen? read more

Staying at a hotel near the airport overnight for a medical procedure Monday morning. We found this place on Yelp with 4 Stars and decided to try it since it was 500 yards away from the hotel. Bad mistake! Not sure what qualities of Mexican food the previously reviews were compared to, but this place was lacking in every way. We were greeted and seated right away. Typical Mexican Restaurant decor. 1st off, our chips were stale, sauce was tasteless. Our Server was polite and seemed helpful but there was a definite language barrier requiring several broken English translations. I ordered the Shrimp Cocktail with fresh Jalapeños and Ceviche. To my surprise, they left the tails on all the shrimp in the cocktail and I almost choked on the 1st bite. Now the Ceviche was very fishy, and really lacking in layers of flavor. Just goes to show that not all 4 & 5 Star reviews on Yelp meet the same standards we base our restaurant reviews on. read more

Got the Margherita flight, Mexican corn, chciken fajitas, and sampler. Food was good except the chili relleno, which tasted like spinach with a processed cheese sauce. Ground beef seemed to be a lesser quality, as did the shredded cheese. Yet, the waitstaff was wonderful, and food came out quickly. The restaurant is fairly large and has a great ambiance. I did notice that the "suggested tip" at the bottom of the receipt was wrong. The "1" was missing. If someone purely went on the suggested tip listed on the receipt and didn't do the math, they would be short changing the waitress significantly. For example, on my $78 bill, the suggested tip was $2.48 , which isn't even 10%. I brought this to the attention of the restaurant, but please do the math if you come here. read more

We had a party of 17 and the accommodations were perfect!! The food came out and was hot and delicious. Talia was our waitress and she went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and well served. She never let a drink go empty and the chips and salsa stayed full. She truly outdid herself. We will definitely be back! read more

Love the cheese chile relleno and the unlimited house fresh hot chips and salsa. Service is always great, restaurant always packed. Wish there was a ramp inside for assistance with wheelchair/stroller or just extra help getting to the 2 step area of the restaurant but besides that good ambiance,food and service. read more

I ordered the Texan chimichanga with grilled shrimp when I tell you the first bite I took was full of grease. It was the most disgusting thing I've opened it up and I could not eat it. Everything was just doused with grease. It had no taste but grease. I ordered a side of rice with it thank God it was delicious. I had the tortilla soup which was OK but definitely not worth my lunchtime I was so disappointed and still hungry when I left!! read more

Waiter was so sweet and quick to bring out our drinks and food. The chips and salsa was good we had to ask for another basket lol. I order the Don Jose sampler due to I wasnt very hungry but that sampler was ALOT and so good. Daughter had the chicken and steak quesadilla dinner with rice and beans. She thought it was very delicious. Definitely plan to come back! Restaurant was a good size and seemed well cleaned. read more

I was staying at the DoubleTree across the street and decided to give Don Jose's a try and I'm really glad I did! It was a short wait for a table and service was great, chips and salsa were good and the top shelf margaritas were great. I ordered the cookout fajitas for 1 and they were delicious, the chicken and steak were served as a whole piece and they were very tender and moist, the shrimp a chorizo were also cooked and seasoned perfectly. I will definitely return and order this again on a future trip read more

if you come at happy hour, you can get a margarita for three dollars oh my God that is so cheap the chips and salsa are just OK. You can ask for a spicier salsa taste a little bit better if you like spicy, I ordered a chimichanga with a side of rice and beans and it was pretty good. Not bad for this area to try to get Mexican food. read more

We came based on the reviews. The food was really good, good price. The freee chips and salsa were ok. The salsa felt like it was missing something. Mexican is good here read more

Perhaps this holds sentimental value because it was the first place I ever ate in NOLA outside the airport, but we always have a consistent meal and service here. Additionally, the amount we end up paying is typically less than when we go out other places. They just re-did their menu, but still have the staples that we love. Specifically we love the el pollo loco. It's so creamy and makes great left overs if we eat too many chips and salsa or chorizo before hand. read more

Free chips! Sounds good? But what if they aren't that good. Should I shut up and just be grateful because they have a ton of them in the back? Anyway, the food in general is from blah to terrible. I'm mean, how do you mess up ground beef like that? I ordered three things to go. Took them home. Threw them away. Muy malo. read more

I love it here ! The authentic atmosphere feels welcoming and immediately you know you're in the right place. I found this place after visiting AZ and craving authentic Mexican cuisine. Don Jose's Grill did not disappoint. I definitely recommend our server, Carlos, who was great and attentive. Food: I ordered the Molcajete which was full of flavor. I personally prefer the peppers caramelized, however the raw peppers added a sense of freshness and a nice crunch when you pull everything together ! My company ordered the spicy mango salmon. She didn't leave one bite and said it was delicious and she'll definitely be returning ! Drinks: The best part!! Aren't you over ordering jalapeño marg and it actually being a house margarita with a jalapeño floating in it ? NOT HERE! Trust me you'll end up having two ! Overall, It was a great experience. I highly recommend! read more

The location is beautiful and it screams Mexican cuisine. You can smell the food when you enter the building. They sit you down very quickly and take your drink orders and return with chips and salsa. When we said we had not ordered it we were told it's their signature to give it to customers as a thank you for dinning thete. The waiter was always checking in and our drinks were always full. The chicken tortilla soup was hot and full of flavor. My granddaughter and I ate it all. The stuffed burrito, taco, and beans were delicious and it was so much we could not eat it all. My daughter had the steak and shrimp dish and was excited to taste so many wonderful flavors. It was by far the best Mexican food we have had in the city of Kenner. We will be back and encourage all of you to try this restaurant. You will not be disappointed! read more

I've wanted to try Don Jose's forever, and today I got my chance. It was definitely worth the wait. We arrived, were greeted and seated right away. Our waiter arrived, took our drink orders and gave us time to look over our menus. Our drinks were delivered - my sangria was tasty and hit the spot, my daughter's Shirley Temple made her happy, and my husband's beer was ice cold. We placed our order and munched on our complimentary basket of chips and salsa. Good stuff. We had the ceviche - delicious and the portion was pretty large. My daughter and husband split the fajitas for 2 and I had one of the combo platters. I loved my food and was blown away by the value. My husband and daughter were happy with their fajitas. The service was excellent. Our waiter was attentive and helpful. We never waited for drink refills and our table was cleared of dishes as we used them. I definitely want to go back for a margarita - there were several on the menu and they were pretty unique. I'll definitely return. read more

Used to be a great place to eat. Had the worst plate of Mexican food today I've ever tasted. Could not eat it. Wouldn't even feed it to a dog. It was a lunch plate that had a beef burrito, shrimp chili releno, and a chicken quesadilla. I only took one bite of each item. The shredded chicken in the quesadilla tasted like chicken out the can, the shrimp in the stuffed pepper still had the shells on them, tasted old. I gave my boyfriend half of the quesadilla to let him try how bad it was..he agreed, took a couple bites and left it on his plate. When I told management that I could not eat my dish and wanted to send it back they argued with me and insisted the food was fresh and fine. They would not just simply take it off the bill. After arguing me for a few minutes she finally said she will have to charge me for the quesadilla since we ate some of it. I hope it was worth losing a regular customer for her terrible way she handled this. read more
