Well what can I say. I'm from Chicago where there are 100's if not 1000's of taquerias and other so called authentic Mexican restaurant's !!! Jose Loco's is not good on either end of the spectrum. Very bland food,a useless waitstaff ( I have had friendlier at non English speaking places ) and high prices to say the least. At first the prices were average but have since went up. I will say that the Springfield Mo Mentality is usually only to visit on a $ 1.00 taco night so I'm sure that is why they raised their prices. However the food is VERY MEH at best. EXTREMELY Bland Enchilada's, Ok fish Taco's, horrible Fajita's and Taco's very similar to a Taco Bell. They will charge you extra for corn Tortillas and onion's and cilantro which should be the standard. And yes as others have mentioned your order almost always comes out wrong. And I have eaten here at least 5-7 times. Oh and I almost forgot, VERY BAD Margarita's. Do your'self a favor and avoid this place, ( seriously ) I have nothing against them it's just not good food for the money . Even if it was cheap it's not that great. Sorry Jose !!!!!! read more

Went there twice for Taco Tuesdays. I always order the chicken tacos. They were dripping wet both times. I guess they steam the chicken. Service is also very slow unless you have a large group, I guess because the tips will be larger. I will go some other time and try their regular dishes and see if they are any better, and modify the review. read more

Our after church lunch group stopped in here one Sunday, and we liked it a lot. They were able to accommodate our large group (8) with no problem. Our waiter had 2 large groups, us and a birthday party next to each other in the same area, and he was a crack up. Very friendly, helpful, and funny. Food was served quick and correctly. Price was very decent. Place was clean. It was an enjoyable experience, and I believe they will be in our regular after church lunch rotation. We recommend them. read more

Food wasn't bad. It's decent Mexican food. Service was terrible. We didn't have much of it in the fist place and they messed up four orders of simple tacos not once but twice. Waiter even got upset at us for not having our food. read more

This was the first time we ate at this restaurant. I'm please to say we were very satisfied! We had the chicken nachos and jumbo Margaritas! They were amazing! Very strong and tasty! The service was great and the atmosphere was nice. We will definitely be back! read more

Taco Tuesday is amazing!!! Chicken or beef tacos for $1. Great speedy lunch to get you through the beginning of the week funk! Take friends. Go early. My friend topped off with ten tacos! Have you seen anyone eat more in one sitting... and go back to work?! read more

Came here after a recommendation from a friend and was not disappointed. Everything we had was well seasoned, generously portioned, and fairly priced. Excited to come back and try more menu items! Would recommend and definitely coming back! read more

Some family members and I had lunch today at the new Battlefield Road location of Jose Locos. We were already big fans of the Glenstone Jose Locos. Pleasantly surprised by the effort that has been put in to decorate the new place, but then I was blown away by the service and delicious food. We started with spinach queso dip, which was fantastic! I ordered the "Crazy Burrito", and was not disappointed! It was stuffed with mouth-watering meat, rice, and refried beans and covered with mucho lip-smacking verde sauce! Highly recommended! read more

Went for Taco Tuesdays and the tacos were good. The tossed salad was just chopped taco lettuce tomatoes and cheese. Service was a bit slow and we had to remind them several times to bring things but the Strawberry Margaritas were yummy. read more

We love this,location. Just tried the new,one on battlefield and it was disgusting. Tasted like pre packageed food on a,fancy plate. Service was slow. We will make the drive up Glenstone for this location every time. Great food. Great service and the best margaritas we have ever had. read more

Oh we love love love Jose Locos. We usually order the pollo loco chicken and goodness. I would highly recommend trying this place and the pollo loco. The servers are great. The owners usually there and greets us with a smile. Never a disappointment read more

Our party of 6 enjoyed this festive atmosphere. We had a variety of dishes. Everyone enjoyed their meals. The wait staff was friendly, helpful, and checked on us....but not too much! read more

Taco Tuesday is where it's at! I don't think you can get taco's any cheaper. Great food, great service.

What's up with all the 5/5 reviews?! This place is sub par at best. Decent, but nothing special.

I don't know why this place is rated so high it's pretty bland. I ordered cheese a enchilada with my meal. Instead of telling me it didn't come with that choice of enchilada she brought me a hamburger one. Wouldn't a wait person have mentioned that? It was gross! The rest of my meal was okay. Huge disappointment when so many things I find on yelp is wonderful. read more

Amaze balls. The food is fantastic, the dessert is fantastic, the service is fantastic. It's our go-to place for Mexican food. I love this place! Their menu is slightly too large... lol I feel like I could read it for hours or that if I pick too quickly, I'll miss something fantastic on another page. But everything we've had there is great! You won't be disappointed. read more

Great food. Great prices. Great service. Thank you! If you go, ask for Anthony. He treated us right.

Best Mexican in Springfield. The process are really great, and the food quality and quantity are worth every penny. They offer great meals for any prove point. My favorite is the fajitas. read more

Vegans this one's for you! Chips are a firm enough to dip, light enough to enjoy, and without the oily texture. Salsa was of good consistency-good flavor - right amount of mild heat. I asked for some hotter salsa, I got one that was on the other end of the scale being on the hot side. So my wife and I mix the two salsas together and we had a fine flavored temperature wise good salsa. The presentation plate of my wife's Chalupa's and my fajitas was very pleasing. The mixture of vegetables for my fajitas was what fajitas were meant to be. It was not a frozen package of California blend vegetables that I see in so many different Mexican restaurants. Waiter was very attentive to our needs, checked on us several times, and brought additional items at our request. Passing by Springfield I would highly recommend stopping here. It is very easy to get to off of the interstate. it's worth the trip! Lots and lots of vegetarian/vegan options! Now when they add to the menu a Hatch green chili salsa, avocado salsa, and a Habanero salsa-then they will be ready to come to Oklahoma where we take our OkMex food seriously!! read more

Update: they now have their liquor license and great margaritas and ice cold cerveza.

Food was delicious, service was fast, staff was very friendly and the atmosphere was great. Will definitely eat there again!

The food here is as good as you'll find anywhere north of Texas. The portions are moderate and tasty, the staff is friendly and competent, the beer is cold, and the prices are reasonable. It's hard to find any restaurant that can do well in all four categories. It was the highlight of our stop in Springfield travelling to Okla City (except for all the restored antique autos in town for a show and parade). read more

Overpriced Mexican food. Would be cheaper to go to any other Mexican restaurant for 3 to 5 dollars less per dish. My waitress had a really bad attitude for no reason. read more

Jose Locos is the best Mexican food in Springfield, MO. It offers fast service in a beautiful, friendly, and clean atmosphere. The fajitas are outstanding and the combination meals are delicious. read more

This place is way overcrowded. Way to many tables squished in when food really isn't that great. I was excited to try this place out but honestly, with the atmosphere, and the semi decent food, probably won't ever go back. read more

Service was friendly and efficient. Margaritas are amazing! I will be back very soon! Heard the comment that it was the best Mexican my friend has ever had. read more

Place was packed on a Friday night. Salsa was good and ordered a Dos Equis Amber on draft. Server asked if I wanted the one on special and I said sure. Turns out it must have been at least 32 oz for $5, great deal! Chili rellanos were good. They are cheese filled but not breaded. Other food was pretty bland. read more

The best Mexican food in Springfield, excellent food, good and friendly service!!! My favorite el jarrocho ummmm so good

Best Taco Tuesday in Springfield. The chicken tacos are the best I have had here. It is always extremely busy which is the only downside, but is understandable because of how good the food and deals are. read more

Never have we went here and had bad service. The food is a mixture between texmex and real Mexican food. The chips and salsa are very good and you can tell that the employees really care about you and their job. read more

Really impressed! Good food, nice menu! Ordered the crispy beef tacos and cheese enchiladas. Fast, friendly and good "skinny" margarita!

I got the shredded chicken tacos, they were next level, the chicken was so juicy. The restaurant had a very up beat feel and a fútbol game is always playing, chips and salsa are very good! The salsa has enough heat but not too much to over power the flavors! The customer service it top notch, very friendly and fast. Best sit down Mexican restaurant in town! read more

Me, my wife, and son went here for dinner and were very happy with our experience. The food was perfectly cooked, tasted fresh and we couldn't have been waiting more than 10 minutes from the time we ordered till we received it. The staff was very friendly and our waitress was attentive without feeling pushy. read more

I own a restaurant in Springfield so I don't usually review other restaurant just out of conflict of interest. But, I love this place. Good prices, friendly staff, good quick service, food tastes great. This is the best Mexican restaurant in Springfield for the total package. If you choose not to eat at my restaurant tonight, eat at Jose locos. Drink a rosarita for me read more

My husband, daughter and I ate here for lunch. Chicken is fantastic! We had chicken burrito and taco. The Ground beef has a wonderful flavor as well. My daughter loved her bean burrito and rice. Great food and price is right as well. Would love to go back for adult time and try a margarita! read more

This was a great dining experience from beginning to end the food was delivered quickly service was fine food was excellent really enjoyed it highly recommend this restaurant read more

I normally love this place but last night I was very disappointed I think most of it was the waitress we had I looked in the appetizer and drink menu and ordered a small cheese dip and a small bean dip then the rest of my meal my wife ordered hers and the grandsons then we set and wait quite awhile then all the food comes to thE table except my wife's tamale and silver wear which we asked for I also noticed that the bean dip was quite large so I ask again is that the small bean dip her reply yes. We try to start eating still waiting on silver wear I would really like mine to put sour cream and tomatoes on my tacos I ordered my wife's tamale finally shows up still no silver wear I guess the waitress thought she would eat it wIth her hand so why asked for silver wear again. I am starting to get aggravated. So she runs through again dropping off 1 set of silver wear. So when she runs back through and ask how things were and I told her fair. I have already bitten into my taco and it was barely warm so I think our food was setting in the window for awhile. Then we pretty much finish our meal and finally ask another waitress to briing us a to go box and he told us later that she ttook it from him to bring to us. Then we get the bill and I was charged for a large bean dip at this point I am now upset I ask her why I was charged for a large bean dip in which she starts telling me they only have one size so I showed her the menu where it lists that they do have it in which she replied oh that is from the other restaurant and she would talk to her mom on discounting it for me like I it was a favor to me for honoring what the menu says. Needless to say she only got a single dollar tip from this customer and when I i go back she will never be my waitress again ok we went back two nights ago and I hate to say this but the quality has gone down even more and the price has gone back up I benighted we try this chain again it will be the one on Battlefield. I think I am done with this one. read more

Cinco de Mayo 2014 at Jose Locos. It was our family's first visit, and they were packed. Even so they seated us within 5 minutes. The chips were good, the salsa better than most- very flavorful and nicely spicy. The food was also high quality and very reasonably priced. My husband's margarita was tasty and strong and my sweet iced tea was perfect. Wait staff was super nice and efficient: they promptly refilled drinks, chips and salsa, and made sure we were happy with everything. Nice atmosphere and the kids enjoyed it too! No complaints aside from the way my kids acted while they waited for us parents to finish eating... read more

Alright, I went here based off yelp reviews. I was extremely hopeful since Mexican is a favorite of mine. I've had horrible luck finding good Mexican you can sit down and eat in Springfield. I've ate California Mexican and Texas Mexican, so I'm possibly a bit jaded. My mom and I decided to try this place for lunch. Though the food was okay, I wasn't overly impressed. The lunch portions were perfect but we ran into our issues with the tacos and service. I'm more of a traditionalist when it comes to tacos. I love carnitas on corn tortillas and fresh pico. My mom enjoys the crunchy. She ordered the chile renillo (sp?) and crunchy beef taco. It all came out fast but the taco shell was stale. They replaced it but the second taco shell was stale too. She gave up and ate the meat with the chips. My only other issue was with service. I asked to try to hot salsa... Never got it. I would really have loved to try it. I much prefer spicy to mild. In all the food was edible but I was hoping for much more. I'd go to purple burrito or perches before I go here again. read more

Absolutely phenomenal. The service was great, the waiter was funny, and the food was delicious. I had the Fiesta Chicken, highly recommend. Will be back! read more
