You were fabulous! read more

Food isn't that great but really what else is there? My husband and I have been here a few times and it was "ok" enough to return but after today we won't be back. We ran outta chips, I ask for more please and our waitress looks at me weird and says "sure". Never see her again, then she makes it back and asks my husband if he'd like more coke, he says yes and HE asks for the chips. She says of course and immediately returns with both in seconds. She barely acknowledged me at all while there, which is fine but when you make such a point about paying more attention to my husband we're going to have a problem. I respect wait staff when I dine out and I expect it in return. read more

This is my second time in Springfield. We got a recommendation from our Uber driver to try Jose Locos. My boyfriend and I are both lovers of Mexican food. I can honestly say this was one of the best places I have ever been for this type of food. Our server Josè was AWESOME. The food came out hot and timely. Josè gave us some great suggestions and was very friendly. I highly recommend this establishment if you are ever in Springfield. read more

Well well well, where to begin. Overall I enjoyed my first visit here. They sat us at a table that was still dirty, which wouldn't have been a big deal. But they weren't busy at all. The place was practically empty when we first came in. Then they had too many servers before their lunch rush actually started. Which isn't a bad thing, they just didn't know we were already being served by someone else. So we got multiple "what would you guys like to drink" questions. And then I'm not saying it's good or bad but my Pico on my order was covering my entire plate, which it was probably just what I ordered. Food tasted great though. Also I'm not probably culturally attuned enough to have listened to a lot of Hispanic music, but they definitely had some good/interesting music going the entire time. From Hispanic rap to Hispanic pop, so some interesting stuff. This was my first time there but I'm pretty sure it was named after the woman (pronounced Josie) and not the husband named Jose, just my opinion tho. read more

I went to Jose Locos last night for the first time, and gotta say, I have found my new favorite Mexican Joint in town! The singe, decor and menus are all very modern, warm and comfortable. The restaurant is extremely clean and the staff was fast, polite and welcoming. But the true highlight, as it should always be, was the food! Although it's not exactly a traditional Mexican item, I ordered the Philly Cheese Steak-rito. It is an instant favorite, and I could tell by the way my waitress smiled when I placed my order that I had made the right choice. I actually noticed her on her break eating one while we were there. My advice? Hit this place up ASAP. Don't let it become one of the many restaurants in its area that have come and gone in a matter of months. Gone tonight! read more

If you have not eaten here I feel deeply sorry for you. I am the biggest Mexican food fan I know, and this place now sits on top of my list. IT WAS DELICIOUS AND HERE IS THE BEST PART.....the food came out in under 10 minutes! Phenomenal food at an absolutely unbeatable price. I personally had the number 8 Lunch Special and have never experienced such euphoria with refried beans in my life. Please eat here I beg you. read more

The atmosphere was wonderful. The service was professional. The music was annoying at times and loud but, it did add a lot to the atmosphere. The food was very good and wasn't greasy. I would highly recommend the restaurant. PS. The margarita was out of sight. read more

The food is fire the margaritas need a little more liquor kind of more like a juice we come here everytime we are in Springfield so like 5-6 times a year... we usually come in around closing because we usually arrive pretty late and they still serve us.. some of the servers can be super rude or make funny looks I get it because it's close to closing but they are quick and And we usually get out before they even are supposed to close... but that's besides the point the reason for my review is the seating the food is good and the drinks are alright but the seating is awful.... Booths are too small the tables are smashed together.. it's just not enough space especially if you order some sort of fajita or something that requires multiple plates.. they have the best cheese sauce and salsa but can't seem to figure out the seating... its just not ideal and I wish they would do something about it.. even with that being said definitely worth trying maybe to go or only go in small groups maybe not even more than two read more

This is our family's favorite Mexican restaurant. The service is excellent and surprisingly quick. The food is consistently delicious. We love their salsa. The owner is usually always at the restaurant and always says hi. The decor is great. I really enjoy the carved chairs and painted tables. Well done! read more

Fahita's for 2 and buy one get one free Frozen Strawberry Margarita's...AWESOME...ALWAYS!! Thank you Jose fir the great service! The food is always super delicious, the decor is beautiful, the drinks are strong, the service is always superior. ..what more can you ask for? read more

The pinto bean, corn, cheese, etc have already been invented. I did not know that. So many seem to crema over this typical Mexican fare. It is fairly decent food, and service. Business Model - or at least Managerial Skill - is poor: They Lost 120+ customers in 10 minutes, due to lack of professionalism if not common-sense courtesy, an extended chain of local professionals will not return. read more

This place was really good! Even the kids begged to go back. All the flavors were really good. I had the shrimp tacos and they were different than any other place I've had, but I loved them. Kids had beef and steak tacos and finished every bite. Husband enjoyed the chicken chimichanga. Prices were reasonable and service was friendly and insanely fast. They serve their salsa in small carafes and give everyone their own little bowl. It seems to have a little bit of a heavy flavor of cumin (I think anyway), so if you don't like that then you might not like their salsa. I liked it, but I didn't love it. Overall awesome experience and I would go back in a heartbeat. read more

The food is very yummy! Plenty of food for the money. Staff was great! Loved the atmosphere. Tried the fried ice cream for dessert and really liked it but I wish that it would have been a little warm like it was just made. But over all a wonderful place to eat. read more

Food is always delicious one of my favorite Mexican places in town. I had the burrito hayo. Filled with beef shrimp avacado fries and a cheesy white sauce. Buritto was definitely sloppy but delicious. I recommend getting a steak knife to make it easier to eat... read more

I was pleasantly surprised to find that this restaurant has amazing Mexican food. I am always skeptical when people brag about new places specially being from California and having certain likes and dislikes. Their chicken in Chipotle Sauce is delicious! Service is fast and the restaurant is very clean! read more

Jose Locos - Chicken in Chipotle Sauce... my personal favorite, spicy and creamy while mixing well with the rice and beans! A must have! - Mexican Near Me - Springfield, Missouri

This is one of those semi sketchy looking Mexican restaurants that is surprisingly great and authentic. Their chips and salsa and queso are addicting and their prices are practically unbeatable read more

We have tried several Mexican restaurants in this area and this is one of the best. Friendly staff and great food. The lunch menu was affordable and the chips and salsa and queso dip were all really good. We will definitely be back to this place. read more

$6 jumbo margaritas, $5 32oz draft beers and tasty Tex-Mex for a good price. Our waitress was wonderful and it had a great atmosphere. I do have to say that I didn't expect much from a Mexican chain restaurant, but I was pleasantly surprised. We were there for my father-in-law's birthday, and on Friday night we waited less than 5 minutes for a table of seven. They provided us a great time and a flawless dinner experience. read more

My food was cold and the service was really poor I don't think I would go back, there is lots better options in Springfield

It's expensive but it was worth it. The food came out just as fast as we ordered it. It was hot and delicious. The staff was awesome and extremely accommodating. read more

We are not from Springfield. We live in NW Arkansas, but wanted some Mexican food for dinner while we were in town for the weekend. This place was excellent! The food was so good! Hot and fresh. The service was great! We also had dessert and it was amazing! I recommend the cheesecake chimichangas. read more

Saw this restaurant on the way to Bass Pro and the parking lot was full. Decided we needed to stop on the way back. Good decision. Food and as very good and service was fast. Will eat here every time we come to Springfield. read more

I went for taco Tuesday and the tacos were not good. I'd honestly rather have Taco Bell. I won't be going back, there are way better Mexican places in Springfield to choose from. read more

Jose Locos is the best Mexican joint in Springfield! Their chips and salsa are great and it's hard to stop eating them once you start! Their chimichangas are delicious as are their flautas. We usually go for taco Tuesday for $1 tacos. The service is usually lacking and has only been god once. But the food warrants 5 stars. read more

This is a great place to eat, if you like Mexican food then this is the place to be. Also great staff.

If I could give this place a -1 out of 5 stars I would. Hands-down the worst Mexican restaurant I have visited. The service was awful; the waitress wasn't friendly, didn't offer her name, didn't refill drinks, didn't refill chips, and was confused about the menu & had to retake our order. The chips and salsa were fresh, as was the long black hair in the salsa. When the food arrived it appeared to be decent, and for the most part it was. Halfway through the chicken enchiladas we found a 2" long bone; when I told the manager, he replied with "Well, that happens sometimes." When I gave him a pretty dirty look he said "You want something else?" I declined. Save yourself some trouble & go to Maria's downtown read more

Total miscommunication. Instead of giving me 9 carnes asadas to go they gave me 5. Then gave me a bunch of salads giving me the illusion that there's more in the bag. As soon as I arrived in the job site I noticed there wasn't enough for everyone and I've been deceived. I called them right away and they denied and hung up on me. I spent a total of $175 for 5 carne asadas and 9 salads. I am guilty for not checking and trusting their word. read more

We always enjoy this restaurant. Reasonably priced food and good service. We enjoyed the fresh gaucamole. Lunch menu is available on Saturday too. Must try it. read more

Chicken enchiladas were pretty good. Shrimp tacos were pretty dried. The prices are way too high for the amount of food you get.

Very good! The owner served us and stated they had been open only 4 weeks. Great service and clean. The Tacos Asada were delicious. My husband had the steak burrito which was excellent! Good prices. read more

I like it! I like it a lot!!! They just opened up their restaurant right down the road from my work which means probably will result in me having to join the gym. I can not imagine any better place to eat Mexican food at than at Jose Locos. Even though Jose never seems to be at work.... read more

Late review, but came on my birthday. Waitress seemed highly annoyed after asking for extra napkins. Ground beef was worse than Mexican Villa. Tasted like chilli meat. And I mean chilli. Salsa....yhe worst. Tomatoe sauce with onion. Awfulness! Will not return read more

Tried this place with 4 coworkers on a Tuesday night. The salsa came with a complimentary rubber band in it - classy. The food was bland but edible. My friend swallowed a bone that was in his chicken enchilada. To top off this gem, the service was awful even though we were only one if two tables. Will never go back nor will any of us that tried it. read more

While the service and friendly staff are second to none, there's very little else about Jose Locos that differentiates it from the myriad other Mexican dining options in Springfield. That's not to suggest that the food isn't good - it's absolutely acceptable, and for the price, one would be hard-pressed to find reason to complain. But it falls far short of spectacular, which is what I expected given the near-unanimity among rave reviews. I'd be willing to come back, but I won't go out of my way to make it happen. read more

I see nothing that would make this place stand out, too many Mexican restaurant. Food is good and service is great. The chip dip was running and the fajita did not come out sizzling like other places do. read more

The owner of this restaurant used to own Cielito Lendo across the street! I had been going there since I was a very little girl and absolutely loved their food! They also treat you like one of the family. I always celebrated my birthday there, so when I turned 21, they gave me a free tequila shot! They are amazing people. This new restaurant might be even better! The food is fantastic and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. If you ever want Mexica food in Springfield, this is the place to go! You truly can't go wrong on any of their dishes! read more

We went for taco Tuesday- $1 tacos and $1.50 beers. Awesome! Food was really good and even though they were pretty busy service was prompt. Staff was really nice and the atmosphere was very laid back yet entertaining. The pico was different but very tasty. We haven't tried it yet on a normal night but the tacos were very authentic and yummy. read more
