    Caught up with a girlfriend this past weekend over some yummy margaritas and chicken fajitas! Went on a Saturday was steadily busy, but we chose to sit at the bar. Staff was friendly, and food came out quick. The margaritas were tasty and strong. There was a DJ around 6PM. He definitely was setting the tone for a fun evening! Even though there was a DJ, you were still able to hear and have a nice conversation without yelling, LOL. Great place to catch up with a friend or enjoy a night out with family!

    I know I can go to Don Julio and always enjoy a tasty meal. I have been many times and I feel it's one of the better options for Mexican cuisine in the area. Both locations are consistent. My service has always been good, with the exception of one bad experience at the Waterford location. I'll consider it an abnormality. If you go on a Friday night, as I did most recently, just know it's like you're going to a club. Not very conducive to conversing, but plenty fun if that's what you're seeking. Free shots? Yes, please! I absolutely love their cheese. Drinks are a bit pricey for me, but there's a plethora of amazing options on the drink menu.

    Wanted to try a new Mexican spot so we went to Don Julio's. The ambiance gives party vibes and the greeters were nice. The food was delicious, fresh and served hot. The only downsides was the service was a little slow at times, like bringing to go boxes and checking for refills. As well as the price for certain items can be a little on the pricer side compared to competitors like Garibaldi's. But over all very happy with the visit and flavorful food. P.s. some of the best guacamole I have had at a restaurant.

    Long overdue review of a place I've been coming to for years...unfortunately, the years kinda contributed to that missing 5th star. I understand that things get more expensive, but how are we gonna be increasing prices AND cutting back on portions sizes? (One specific thing that has shrunk - the sides that come with the nachos - used to be a big bag of chips and enough lettuce/sour cream ect for the whole dish, chips are now half the size and it's a very small amount of the salad items). I've also taken to really checking my to-go orders as missed items are common during lunch rush. I keep coming back though, because the food is really good. The drinks are just as excellent too, with the mango Margarita being one of my faves. They've expanded and updated the space at this location in the years that I've been going, and the vibe on weekend evenings is very lively. I'm definitely going to be a continued customer, just wish some things could have stayed as they were.

    Had the chicken Mexican burrito and it was delicious our server was friendly and the restaurant ambience was hopping with Latin DJ music that had the customers dancing. Definitely great place to hang out with friends and enjoy

    Tucked in a nondescript plaza, this Mexican joint offers none of the bells and whistles you find from other Tex-mex style eateries. It's very open inside. Lots of TVs on the walls. The music was apparently coming from a DJ while we were there on a Saturday night but I didn't even know he was there until we left for the evening. I ordered the carnitas fajitas. Those were some of the best carnitas I've ever had. Seriously. So juicy and tender. They fell apart on my fork. That was definitely the star of the show. The rice and beans accompanying my fajitas were just ok, nothing special. I was a bit disappointed that my fajitas didn't come with guacamole, so I had to order and pay for a side, but at least they gave me a decent amount. The fajitas themselves were a pretty big portion too. My husband ordered a burrito. He said it was yummy but nothing overly special to rave about. The margaritas were tasty although not very strong. I liked that they had an entire section on the menu for spicy margaritas, my favorite. Get the jalapeño marg; you won't be disappointed. Our waitress was very nice and attentive without being overbearing. Food came out fast, almost too fast! It was all very fresh and hot.

    Best dang Chimichanga in Orlando Pretty dang good fried ice cream as well & don't even get me started on the margaritas. They don't hold back on the liquor

    Normally, this place is our go-to for Mexican food, but the constant upselling from the servers has become unbearable. We went on Taco Tuesday, and the server repeatedly pushed me to order the taco meal even after I explained multiple times that I don't eat the sides. She was so persistent that she ultimately got my order wrong. She kept saying chicken when she repeated it, despite me clarifying that I wanted steak tacos. We also asked for a pitcher of margaritas, and she kept trying to convince us to order a single $38 margarita instead--even though the pitchers were $35. The worst part was when the runner brought the incorrect dish (despite me repeating my order four times). After I sent it back, she returned with the same plate as if I was expected to eat something I didn't order. I was shocked, especially since we spoke Spanish with the server, so it wasn't a language issue. Lately, every server seems to aggressively push upsells, and it's extremely frustrating. This doesn't happen at Agave Azul or any of the other great Mexican spots. Unfortunately, we're done.

    Carnitas
    Amanda C.

    Fantastic service (so fast with their food!), delicious fresh ingredients, lively atmosphere. Our server Beto was great. I got the carnitas which were rich and tender and full of flavor! Came with three (corn or flour of your choice) tortillas. I had enough to take home one. My bf got the tacos lyon which came with two tortillas rice and beans. There was a birthday celebration while we were there and the team made it feel special. A lively place I would go with friends, music was a little bit loud for my older parents; overall very fun vibes!

    My first time in Orlando and I was taken here. Talk about a nice clean restaurant! Stephanie was so sweet and made a perfect recommendation for my first experience. She smiled and was very enthusiastic! I had the sopes with beef and one Birria taco. Talk about the perfect combo! The portions are big. The others in my group couldn't finish. I was so happy. I'd definitely come back! Thanks Stephanie for making our group feel welcomed! You're a gem there!

There were indoor seating options only, though it does look like they have a patio space that might be occasionally open. We were able to accommodate the entire group at one table, and we had one server assigned to our table as well. Drinks along with complimentary chips and salsas were brought out somewhat quick! The salsas were a bit on the spicy side, but had good flavor. Appetizers took about 45 minutes to get out, and they were somewhat small portions. The queso (wish I would have gotten a picture) was not what you would expect, it was thicker almost chunky like consistency. It was super tasty but not what you would likely expect by any means! Our mains took well over an hour and a half to come out. We had people in our group that ended up leaving right as their food was arriving. It was odd to many of us in the group that they kept bringing out one plate at a time for our table, but were able to serve all members of other tables sitting around us. Because of this many of us were waiting on our food while others had already finished. The food came out super slow, but don't worry the bill came out before some of us even got our food! Our server also wasn't very present, rarely did she come around to refill drinks or check on how we were doing. Overall the food was decent but not worth the wait. Would I come back...maybe? The location is convenient for a quick lunch, however the time we would likely have to spend waiting for our food may not be worth it.

    San Jose's is a wonderful Mexican restaurant located in a strip mall just north of Lake Buena Vista…read morein the southern part of Orlando. I believe they have several locations in the area, and this is a newer one with very welcoming and modern interiors. They have wonderful daily specials and various happy hour periods that extend from 2 to 10 PM, including $3 tacos from 8 until 10 PM. Meals start off with complimentary chips and salsa (4.5/5), which are happily refilled upon request. We tried a variety of tacos (5/5) which were incredibly fresh and flavorful. The vegetarian San Jose's fajita bowl (4.5/5) was tasty and served in a generous portion that is ideal for sharing. The cheese quesadilla (5/5) hit all the fresh flavor notes without the cheese being too sharp in taste. The churros (5/5) were the perfect dessert, having a slightly crunchy exterior and softer core as you bit into it. We loved the food and atmosphere so much that we visited twice the same week while visiting the Orlando area. Service (4.5/5) was excellent on our first visit, and slightly slower on our 2nd visit, but still incredibly friendly with management checking in on customers to make people were enjoying their meals. Overall, I'd rate the food and experience a 4.5/5, but happy to round up since San Jose's is right up my alley for an ideal Mexican meal that is delicious and doesn't gouge you with prices like other restaurants tend to do. I'll gladly return on future trips to the Orlando area and will be recommending them to others, as San Jose's would crack my rotation of a Mexican restaurants I'd regularly visit if I lived locally.
