Solid 4 stars. Staff is friendly, helpful and attentive. The food is tasty. There's plenty of parking. Prices are reasonable. My husband ordered some kind of chicken burrito and loved it. I ordered regular sized nachos and added carne asada. It was very tasty. But it felt like they were a bit too conservative with most of the ingredients. I got plenty of chips and salsa. But very little cheese, beans, or meat. To drink we tried the Jamaica and Piña Colada. It tasted amazing! It's a cute place. Bigger than I expected when I walked in. They have high booths. It's like a high table, but using booths in stead of chairs. Would come back. read more

Pros- chips and salsa bar, drink selections, some menu items are reasonably priced. Cons- food is a hit or miss, doesn't really hit the spot, bill can be high for only 2-3 people to eat. This is a place you come to when everything else is too busy or too far. read more

On the weekend went to go have lunch was craving fajitas had them there before. We ordered and got our food but noticed that the vegetables seemed raw so I tasted them and also no flavor. Very different than other occasions. I asked the waitress for them to cook the vegetables and add some seasoning because they are bland. She came back and said they don't season them. But they would do it this time. She brought the plate back but with out beans and the rice that the original plate had. So waited about five minutes for her to bring them back. Very bad experience. I don't think I would go back read more

I probably eat at Jose's 2 to 3 times a month. Every time I get excellent friendly people greeting me and taking my order. The food and margaritas are delicious. It's truly one of the best in town. Nobody can beat their chile rellanos! is excellent every time. read more

The reason I give 3 stars is honestly the food was delicious! Actually deserved 5 stars. I only had an asada taco and my son had 2 al pasture tacos. I tasted his tacos..delicious! We literally ordered 3 tacos. Very good. Thank you. We also ordered 2 margaritas. Love, love that they have chilled mugs! When I say we sat there and got full on chips & salsa! Btw.. all the salsas were on point!! We waited 40 minutes before I mentioned it. I think they forgot about us. Close to an hour wait. That was ridiculous! The fact that they give # for each table. Once served they remove the # from the table. So many employees..not one said or noticed we hadn't been served. Our # sat there. Ridiculous! I had to say something. There was an apology, but not an incentive. Perhaps an extra taco? A complimentary drink for the long wait? For 3 tacos!! Ridiculous Of course you order & pay as soon as you enter the business. Unfortunately, no compensation could be considered. I will definitely be back. Those tacos were good! Or Perhaps I was really hungry because of that long wait! read more

Besides the coffee, I ate a breakfast burrito and it upset my stomach. They have no bottle condiments like ketchup. Wouldn't recommend this place for breakfast. read more

You have to pay to add salad dressing to the taco salad. Not just a 50cents type situation, No, it's $2. Quite ridiculous considering salad is literally in the name of the item and salads traditionally are eaten with salad dressing. Ugh. read more

Excellent food! Service could not have been better as we had two or three staff check in on us! Ambiance is outdoor patio style indoors. The natural slate stone tiles and wicker canopies at each booth are a nice texture. We really love to eat here and sometimes bring out-of-towners who want great authentic Mexican cuisine. This meal was more than worth it! The value is there at $70 for the two of us and we brought home what we could not finish for another meal at home. read more

Review #1001 While this was my first time eating at this location, I have been a fan of the company since the early 90s, especially the Redlands restaurant. Coming from the Midwest where Mexican food was mediocre at best (it may have improved by now), the food really impressed me. Shredded beef tacos, burritos, salsa bar, and endless tortilla chips? Yes, please! Over the years, I marked some changes in the food and recipes. Nevertheless, Jose's is a good spot for lunch or dinner with the family. This location on Pigeon Pass and Ironwood has a similar layout to the Redlands store, but it's easily 3x larger in terms of where diners can sit, including a covered patio. My crunchy tacos were very good, not as crunchy as I remembered, but still, well executed. I especially liked the Mexican rice and the beans. I didn't go to town on the chips and salsa, but left feeling like it was a good value for the quantity and quality. read more

So they raised there prices so much that it's just not worth the price anymore. Instead of small increment increases they went up at least a few dollars. Well I guess I need to find another restaurant. Good luck to Jose's with the new prices. The bowl below cost $13,48 and was not even full of product. read more

Good service and food. I wanted shredded beef tacos and theirs were delicious. Atmospheres was fun and lively.

A good, local place in Moreno Valley for a fast-casual meal. You order from a counter and there are some coolers nearby where you can pick from a decent selection of beers (don't recall if I saw any wines). A server then brings your food to the table. You have to get your own utensils, condiments, chips and salsa, etc... This isn't my favorite way to dine, but we wanted brunch on a Saturday in MoVal and every diner was absolutely packed. We had heard that Jose's does offer breakfast/brunch, so we ended up here. The lunch/dinner offerings are pretty standard Mexican fare. Brunch offerings included an impressive-looking French toast that swayed one of my friends. It was as good as at any diner. My breakfast scrambler with bacon, eggs and cheese was similarly good. Everyone's food was fine. Nothing special but definitely not bad. If there was no place else available for a casual meal, I'd come back to Jose's. I do prefer wait service and being able to get a freshly made Margarita or Bloody Mary with my meal, and I did think that the restaurant seemed to be not particularly clean. Our table felt sticky, some tables were sitting un-bussed for long periods of time and the salsa/condiment area was a bit of a disaster. But you could definitely do worse for a quick, inexpensive meal. read more

The food, service and cleanliness is noticeable to be a good restaurant to visit more often.

the food is always good and fresh, their daily specials has something for everyone, excellent fast and friendly service,great atmosphere in this sit down family casual restaurant. last nights planning commission meeting showed just how much love moreno valley has for this restaurant and as i stated during public testimony as a 37 year resident who loves everything about this city and its diversity there are four legacy restaurants in this city that family's can enjoy for any and all occasions and the Steer and Stein on JFK and Perris, Joes Italian and Dragon House both on Allessandro by Elsworth Ave and Joses Mexican Food stand head and shoulders above the rest. thank you to all of the residents who showed up and supported their cause. read more

Sorry but this place is way too expensive. $11.39 for a kids plate?? That's crazy! Literally every other restaurant has kids plates for around $6-$9. For my family of 4 we spent $58! The food here is average, not worth the price. I used to come here like every week when they had the kids eat free Wednesdays. read more

The food and service is great. I've been coming here for almost 30 years. It's always tasty

Yum it's really good and I love the chips and drink station. The waiters are super friendly and attentive.

Tex-Mex but more on the authentic side of Mexican cuisine. Foods pretty decent and I like that it's fast casual but still feels like a comfortable sit down restaurant with booths. My good friend frequents and likes their chilaquiles but I have yet to try it. Self-serve salsas and fixins. Honestly their salsas are just alright and wish they had something spicier. read more

Jose's Mexican Food - Fajitas - Mexican Near Me - Moreno Valley, California

@josesmexicanfood killed it today. After watching Cry Macho with Clint Eastwood I was craving Mexican food and José's delivered. I had the lingua and carne asada street tacos prepared Mexico city style-with cabbage, chipotle crema and cilantro, the shrimp enchiladas and fajitas with steak, chicken,  and shrimp. The street tacos were full of meat and the lingua was especially tasty. I felt it was cooked perfectly. I've had it at other places and it was a bit chewy and/or slimy and this was not the case at all. It was great. The green sauce on my shrimp enchiladas was good and there were plenty of shrimp inside. The portions were so big, I could only finish one enchilada! The fajitas were fabulous. The chicken was moist, hot and seasoned to perfection and the steak was so tender. It's hard to say which was better. The shrimp was plump and succulent too! Excellent fajitas all around. I would definitely come back and try more menu items, like the red sauce dishes and chili verde. Great job today José's. read more

Highly recommended if you're looking for a neighborhood restaurant with high quality dishes. My son and I love meeting up at Jose's in MoVal where we enjoy starting off with the best Michelada in town and also the very best carne sada you're ever going to find in Riverside! It's grilled and smoked, and so so tender. The staff is friendly and attentive, and nice seating both indoors and out. read more

The overall value of the food was good. I had the asada and carnitas tacos, definitely the carnitas tasted better of the two. Ordering is done at the front counter and they bring the food out to you. There is a self-served salsa bar which is very convenient with multiple options to choose from and the chips are self-served as well. The fountain drinks, ice teas, and coffee is also self-served. The restroom was a little dirty, but maybe they just didn't clean that day. The staff did take the time to check on tables, which was appreciated. read more

Ok, went to Jose's for brunch today, about 12:30. Started out ok, lots of choices, and a pretty awesome menu. I ordered the Huevos Rancheros. Food came out about 10 minutes later. The server told me she would be right back with the tortillas. She never came back, and when I found her after eating the food, she acted like she had no idea what I was talking about. No apology, no I'm sorry, let me get them for you, and no taking them off my bill. So, here's my review: 3 stars for the food. (It's just ok) 1 star for the service. 2 stars total average. I had high hopes that Jose's would be good, but Jose's just did not deliver. read more
