    Decent enough Mexican restaurant located in a rather nondescript strip mall. The service was friendly enough. Jose's offers decent enough Mexican food.

    I've heard terrific things about this place for years... I found myself in Pearl around lunch, so I decided to stop in and try the tamales that I've heard so much about. Meh They had little meat and too much masa and a bland flavor. MS is the mecca for hot tamales, and it's easy to find good tamales, especialy in the delta. While these were not bad, they were not great. Certainly not worth bragging over. If they didn't have the chili and cheese on top, they would have been too bland to eat.

    This review is for Tuesday 2/17/15-The food was lukewarm when it got to the table (it arrived not ten mins after we placed our order)which was a bit disappointing. The service was great and it would have been perfect if it had been hot.

    Chill in' out after a day on the road. Service good so far.

    Quiet mom and pop place. Even though it's a Mexican restaurant, they lack the feel of it. Good food. Friendly server.

    My family is new to the area. We just moved here from the West Coast. As a Mexican, born & raised…read morein LA, I know authentic Mexican food and this place did not disappoint. We ordered the mixed fajitas order, 2 sopes and our kids had chicken enchiladas. Everything was flavorful and delicious. The staff were friendly and our drinks and food came out promptly. I would highly recommend!!

    Ooohwee! Probably my new favorite Mexican spot in Pearl! I ordered Menudo which is a spicy tripe…read moresoup, he got the steak fajita chimichanga with cheese sauce, we LOVE the more traditional cuts of meats like tripa, cachete, Suadero etc so we ordered 5 different tacos to share, and because our eyes are bigger than our stomachs we also got the Gordita asada. Tripe in the menudo was thick cut which I thoroughly enjoyed, it was extremely tender and they even had tendon which I haven't seen in many menudos here.. Flavor was very mild though, but the great thing is you can always add more to your menudo, I love a ton of hot salsa/hot sauce, lime, cilantro and onions in mine. The chimichanga had a ton of steak and cheese sauce, so if you love your meat and cheese they give you plenty. Tacos were fire! Those home made tortillas were to die for!! I'm a hot sauce salsa kinda gal and I didn't need any of it. The tacos were topped with cilantro, onions and grilled onions as well. ...Now the star of it all, yallllllll go get you some gorditas!! My goodness, MY GOODNESS those were the best gorditas I've had in a while. The masa was so delicious, hot off of the presser, he doesn't like gorditas but ate most of mine! I would come back here just for this, it was absolutely 10/10!! I bet their tamales are amazing foo, but those are seasonal so I'm getting me a dozen when they start offering it again. Included a menu for yall.
