Two stars is the best I can do only because my wife enjoyed her entree. She had the Cochinta Pibil. It was very flavorful and the tortilla bowl was very good. It could use more pork though. Here is where it got bad. Service was dreadful. We had to call for our server throughout the meal. My wife's margarita got knocked over and I had to go find him to ask if they were ever going to replace it. My food had no flavor at all. I had the Guadalajara combo platter. They sat the taco on the rice so the bottom was soggy. The meat had no seasoning at all. The only part that was remotely good were the refried beans. And that came from a can. I cannot recommend this place. The atmosphere is good. Decorations are fun. Service was awful. My food was awful. I should have sent it back but didn't. At least my wife's food was good. We will NOT return. read more

A great place to go for a meal, very clean and the service is excellent and quick. The portions they serve are very good, you find yourself asking for a to go box. We have a group from our church that goes there a number of times a month. My wife and I also go there throughout the week as well. Try them, you won't be disappointed..... read more

In fairness, I am giving this place a 1 Star due to service, not due to the quality of their food (which was quite delicious). Our experience may not be indicative of normal experiences, but for the July 4th weekend, this place was NOT ready for prime-time. After calling for a 6:30 reservation for 13, we arrived at 6:15, but were not seated for very close to an hour. Large groups can often be a problem, but in this case, we sat waiting for our table - which we could clearly see had been bussed and cleaned - for another 20 minutes, because they simply forgot about our group. After being seated, we then realized there was only room for 10, and so we split our group into 8 and 5, and tried to get a booth for the 5 remaining. Sadly, we had to "squat" by a table that had yet to be bussed, and ultimately ended up clearing and wiping our own table before we ordered. After seating, and bussing ourselves we waited fo menus, which never came, and - yep, you guessed it, we ended up having to grab our own menus with which to order. Didn't place our order until about 7:45, and when our food came out - at 8:38pm, it was practically thrown at us, and to make matters worse, one of the entrees wasn't even what we ordered. About the only GOOD thing that came of our experience was that they made an error on our check, and didn't include at least 3 entrees on the bill, which saved us quite a bit on the check, but by then our impressions were pretty well-formed. We won't go back there again, especially after we noticed the plates we had moved from our table around 7:30, and placed on the bar so it could be cleared by staff were never collected by anybody as we exited. Someone needs to have a long talk with the restaurant manager when a restaurant in a Virginia tourist mecca like Williamsburg is THIS unprepared for a holiday dinner crowd. read more

Had a large group after a long day on the softball field. The girls were served first, and with all of their special requests. Everything was correct. Food was great and everyone was happy read more

I love eating here! Food is delicious! And waiters are fast! It's a little bit pricy but for a good reason read more

Jose Tequilas - Mexican Near Me - Williamsburg, Virginia

Really, really enjoyed Jose Tequilas. My family and I are visiting Busch Gardens from Northern Virginia where we have very limited Mexican food options. JT's was such a pleasant surprise. My kids just had cheese quesadillas, but my wife ordered the Pollo Chipotle which was smoky, savory, and slightly sweet from being roasted with tomatoes. I had the Macho Combo - which was a taco, enchilada, tamale, and stuffed poblano pepper. Only complaint was there was too much cheese smothering everything but the beef and chicken fillings of each component were outstanding. All in we spent $55, which is pretty reasonable compared to northern Virginia prices. I'd definitely recommend Jose Tequilas and will be back next time I'm in Williamsburg! read more

If you want good Tex mex & the best margaritas in town this is the place to go. I go here pretty regularly on Wednesdays for fajita night. I suggest getting the skinny margarita, it's less artificial tasting than the regular one because they just use juice & tequila. However, if that's not you're thing they have over 10 margarita options you can choose from & a greater variety of tequila than you'll find anywhere else in town -- in addition to beer & soft drinks. Be advised the portions are huge. Even when I share an entree with someone we still take home leftovers sometimes. Great service, as a former server I appreciate how quickly they take care of their tables. read more

Seated immediately but took 10 minutes before waiter showed up. No free Wi-Fi so perhaps they think if you have a long wait you will buy it. Another 10 minutes for drinks to show up. Another 7 minutes before order was taken. If ordering beer, order the large size because my bottle was empty and waiter never returned after taking order. We sat over an hour before the food was served. I typically leave 4 or 5 stars, this place really lowered my average. Food average. read more

I ordered delivery from Jose Tequilas. It was delicious. I had enchiladas, cheese, chicken, and beef. It included rice and beans. Everything was very good, and the delivery was quick and efficient. I appreciate that they included cutlery as I am at a hotel without a kitchen. read more

OMG!!!!!!! Literally the best meal I have ever eaten! My wife said, "I would make the six hour drive from PA just to eat this again". You have to try the Molcajetes! Life changing dining experience! read more

Fast service and unbelievably big portions! I have leftovers for at least one more meal. Fajitas and enchiladas very good.

Best street tacos-chicken with corn tortillas-fresh guac almost better than mine and wonderful margaritas!

The food is very good and was delivered quickly. The service was also good - our server checked on us several times. The only reason this isn't a 5 star review is because of the way they served my husband's meal. His chicken Monterey was so sizzling hot that it continued to sizzle and splatter the extremely hot contents on my husband and the table for a full two minutes after it was delivered. I know patrons expect their food to be delivered hot, but an extra minute in the kitchen would've helped a great deal in this case. It's a good thing we don't have kids. Still, we'll probably give it another try. read more

We were somewhat pleased with how things went (huge plates of chips and great salsa, burritto bowl, enchiladas), until I excused myself to go to the womens' restroom. It was filthy. Stopped up toilet, no toilet paper (although they did have napkins available), and filthy floors which hadn't been cleaned in who knows when. When bathrooms are filthy, this reflects on the whole establishment and makes you wonder what the kitchen looks like. I'm beginning to lose hope in finding a good Mexican restaurant in Williamsburg. read more

My wife got the ground beef tostadas and the tostada shells were so floppy from being soaked with grease from the meat she couldn't even pick them up to eat them. I had a similar problem with my ground beef tacos. The grease soaked through the bottom of the shells so they split open. They were a mess to eat. Also, DON'T get the tamales. VERY LITTLE meat, just a lot of dough. I felt like I was eating bread. read more

Well, I wanted to rate this place higher because the food was really good. But the service was really poor, so it was a wash. Our group of five arrived about 7:30pm on a Tuesday. Many of the tables were full, but only a few customers trickled in after us. We stood around the empty host stand for about 10 minutes until someone got the attention of a server who seated us. He took our drink orders and disappeared for awhile, eventually coming back to take our food order. The food came after a reasonable wait. The ground beef nachos were very tasty, and salsa was decent - flavorful with just a mild spice. Once we finished we waited again for 10 minutes or so until the waiter came back and dropped off the check. I went to the register to pay rather than wait for him to return, but then waited for someone to get to the register. So I don't know if they were just having an off night or what else might have been going on. I would like to come back and try some other items on the menu someday, if I happen to have a lot of time to spare. read more

I called in a order of caramel filled churros.a man answered the phone and said that they did sell them.after paying and getting what I thought was caramel filled churros.was plain with melted vanilla ice cream drowned in chocolate syrup and melted whip cream.it was a hot mess litterally! read more

Love the atmosphere here. It always nice and bright. Beautiful bar area. The food is clean and well present. My favorite are the soft tacos. I usually like to get them mix up so I can try different flavors. Highly recommend if you want to have a drink with it read more

Jose Tequilas - Delicious. Will order again next time: Asian steak, roast pork, and soft taco - Mexican Near Me - Williamsburg, Virginia

This was a reasonably good restaurant- the interior felt a lil dated. But great depth of menu with lots of vegetarian options! The wait staff, especially our waiter was very pleasant and courteous. We ordered guacamole which was made by the table but it was not mashed but chopped in a bowl.. The avocados were a little browned... overall, worth a visit but I'm not sure I'd go back.. read more

Totally mediocre food. The staff were great when we picked up takeout. But the food was not worth it. We had carnitas tacos, avocado and mushroom enchiladas, and a cool-sounding queso appetizer. None of them was nearly as tasty as we would hope. read more

Stopped here while on vacation. Pleasant wait staff and quick service despite the crowd. Love the salsa -- not too spicy, not bland, just right. The enchiladas were great! The cheese enchilada has onions in it, which I love! The chicken and beef enchiladas were delicious also. Good beans and rice on the side too. I wish I could remember our waiter's name, very upbeat and on point with service! read more

Jose Tequilas - Delicious Enchiladas - Mexican Near Me - Williamsburg, Virginia

Went there after a day at Bush Gardens. Food was good and came out quickly. Our waiter was exceptional and his recommendations were spot on. I got the Wet Burrito which said it had chili inside as well as out but I think they forgot the inside chili. Plentiful chips and salsas from the start. Thing that made our visit unpleasant was the hostess. Upon arrival we were greeted and taken to a table that was way too close to another table violating the 6 foot rule. When my wove asked for a different table explaining it was too close for our comfort, the hostess rolled her evens, groaned, slammed her hand on the table while gathering up the silverware she had set down and said nastily "follow me!" She also said to another passing staff member "they want a different table" in a disgusted voice. Hopefully your visit will be better because the food was worth it. read more

Great service and great food. And they stay open till 10PM and none of the local competitors did. Perfect for your family after a long day at Busch gardens! read more

It was amazing the service was awesome. The shrimp and crab dip was so good. Def coming back read more

It was just meh! Not bad food....but not the best mexican ive had either. Service was slow. Once we were seated, it was 10 minutes for waiter to come take our drink order...5 min for him to come back, even longer to get our food....he didnt really come back to check on us, see what we needed, refill our drinks,etc. Worst customer service. The food is what brought my score back up to 2 stars. read more

As it was early afternoon, I ordered from the Taco section of the menu, which offered a wide variety of tacos and toppings. I ordered a raft of three (3). Chips and salsa were complementary and an additional sauce was provided...it was made with mayo, chili flake, mild jalapeño and a touch of lime; it was a surprise and amazingly tasty! The raft of tacos were served in a 3 section boat, each taco was loaded with beef and shredded cheese. For my drink I ordered a frozen strawberry margarita, which was served in an oversized glass; it was one of the best margaritas I've ever hadperfe! The servers (2) were friendly, prompt, courteous and checked back to make sure everything was satisfactory. The parking lot is huge and the building was clean with no overpowering odors or aromas. There were several large flat screen TVs that were tuned to soccer games. Excellent service! Varied menu with choices of combos, appetizers, salads, entrees, desserts, and a separate adult beverage menu. Adults and several well behaved kids were present at a nearby set of tables and it was obvious they enjoyed their meals. All in all, a very pleasing experience. Recommend Jose Tequilas for a great family dining experience! read more

Decor and set up of the place was nice. The area was clean and the people were nice. They have a great drink menu with many options (like 6 pages). I wish I could give this place more stars but the food was disgusting. It was flavorless, didn't taste authentic, and the boom boom sauce was a poo poo sauce. Maybe they take out the seasoning for some people's blan taste buds but what about the people that want the Mexican food spice and flavor. Where are the traditional meals, pozole and Menudo? It was a step up from Taco bell and a way step down from the food I am ust to in San Diego and Mexico. read more

Very good service, very large alcoholic beverages and variety, and very good food! We went around 4pm on a Wednesday, and there were few people there. I highly recommend the Choriqueso app, the Super Burrito, and the Cowboy Burrito! The food took only like 8-10 minutes to come out, and our Choriqueso appetizer came out with our food, which was fine, just odd. Another odd (but fatteningly delicious) thing is their mayo-based dip they serve with their salsa and chips. Very tasty, just odd! read more

I really wish places that serve tequila would make margaritas without a premade it's disappointing! However I found the service excellent here and the food was good. Surprised to find that the tacos were ala cart so I had to order rice and beans separately The green and red salsa were both great read more

This place was AWESOME!!! Service was great, food was great. They even made the Guac at the table. I ordered the Chimichangas and they were perfect. I recommend this restaurant if you ever make a trip to Williamsburg! read more

Ordered 3 meals and the food had no flavor whatsoever. Chips had no salt and were over cooked. My brother had a bang bang shrimp burrito and the shrimp was not deveined!!! The batter was not so great either. Honestly I would not recommend this place at all. Quality of food was horrible! I ordered 3 tacos and they couldn't put cheese on them. I had to order a whole side just for the tacos. Prices are expensive for what you get! read more

Beverages were less than tasty, might be time for a filter cleaning? The food was ok, service was less than. It would be great if they would check in a bit more frequently. read more

Ok, as someone who has been in the restaurant industry I am very lenient usually. I like to give the benefit of a doubt. Just do me a favor, Williamsburg does not lack Mexican restaurants and please don't eat here. Drive to El Sabor instead and save yourself half the money and better food. Jose Tequilas while looked good lacked flavor somehow. I ordered the Sopes on the menu and the waiter put it in as 1 - that was quickly fixed and received the rest of my order. I'm hispanic so when I asked for salsa I thought we were on same page and nope I got handed the stuff in a bottle which is awful. My kids got chicken tenders and tell me how the outside had a beautiful crunch but the chicken was so over cooked and the fries were soggy. Then to make it worse I then was like ok the ice cream can't be that bad so I ordered the fried ice cream. My husband made a joke saying it was going to come back melted. Well they roll the ice cream in Corn flakes and they were so stale, who knew you would have to shew while eating ice cream! Just do yourself a favor and don't eat here! read more

Great food, great service! Ordered tortilla soup and a salad expecting a light meal. The bowl of soup was delicious and was huge! It was more than a meal by itself. Table side guacamole......perfect! The frozen swirl margarita- soooo good!! read more

Between final fours I picked up a Bryan's Special. Just moving here that's the best Mexican I've found compared with three others. I cracked the 18 yr scotch when the tarheals won. read more

Not so great this time: The server delivered the wrong margarita (at least it was quick), and the hostess decided it was time to vacuum the floors while customers were eating nearby. Lack of good staff. read more

2/4/2024: This is not a top 10 Mexican restaurant by any stretch. The wait staff were not knowledgeable or well trained. We should have gotten a clue when the salsa was served - it was watery and un-flavorful. They also served us a bowl of some other chip dip that we could not dicipher what the hell it was. The waiter explained it was a combination of mayo and ranch...WTF? I ordered the Chef's red snapper which was on the Chef's specialty list and it was anything but special. When the other meals were delivered to the table, we asked where my meal was. The waiter stated that the fish was frozen and being thawed so the meal would take a bit longer than the others. Really? Chef's Specialty? When it arrive at the table the smell of un-fresh fish filled everyone's noses. Two of my guests ordered the deluxe chicken nachos and instead were served steak nachos. Neither the steak nachos or the chicken nachos that eventually made it to the table were inedible. How do you f__ up nachos? Very disappointed. Don't be fooled by the 4.0 rating other patrons have given this restaurant. I don't know what they are used to eating but I would bet a bunch of blind folded Amish farmers from PA could have put together a better Mexican meal than what we were served tonight. Extremely disappointed. We strongly do not recommend Jose's. read more

JT Chile Rellano was great. It was probably the best one I ever had. I would definitely get it again.
