I ordered Dos Equis lager and the Jose's special pulled beef enchiladas with a side of Jose's rice and black beans The enchiladas were on point and were a flavor explosion in my mouth. I liked the Jose's rice The black beans needed something to elevate the flavors so I mixed them with the rice and it was a great combination. Serving size is good and great for the price. The service was good as the staff was very polite and the food was out very quick.

This restaurant was rated well and I thought what could go wrong? Although, service was fine there is a language barrier so I don't know what the dip with the chips was and it's definitely not the usual salsa. I had a salad delivered and it's a very simple salad with French dressing. I wish they jazzed it up with a poblano dressing or something in theme. My tostadas came with another bowl and I don't know what it was. My tostadas were bland and dry then suddenly a small amount of sauce appeared on the right side of my tostada. I wish it was on the whole tostada to take away the dryness. The dish came with potatoes which tasted fine but were so greasy. My husband ordered the trio fajita and wasn't impressed. He said his meal was tasteless and overall we weren't impressed. Unfortunately, we won't be going back.

My husband put our name in for a party of four and gave his phone number for the text notification but the hostess accidentally entered us as a party of two. Thankfully, the table that was ready was large enough for four but it could have caused an issue. As a note, she remembered and realized she mistyped it and apologized immediately. Our waiter was friendly, though the service had a few hiccups. My chicken quesadilla (which I ordered as my entrée) came out well before everyone else's meals. When boxing leftovers, he asked whether I wanted the sides, sour cream, and salsa included. I said no, but when I opened the container the next day, everything had been packed together anyway. Food: The chicken quesadilla was delicious and generously filled with shredded chicken. Drinks: The frozen strawberry margarita was excellent. It was filled to the brim and stronger than what you typically get at a restaurant. Overall, I'm chalking the service issues up to it being a busy Saturday night. We'd still happily return to Jose Tejas whenever we're in the area.

The food is the reason I'm writing this review. Ordered the Cajun popcorn shrimp for appetizer and it was beyond salty. The sauce helped but the salt was the extent of the taste. My wife had the fish fajitas and I had the pulled chicken tacos for lunch with fries. The fries were over fried like chips but the pulled chicken tacos was downright not right there was a chicken pot outlets chicken with a taste to the chicken. I had one bite put it down and pushed the plate away. I was done. My wife ate some of her fajita with her comment being that it's was really spicy. I asked for the check. The waiter asked us for boxes. Seeing that we didn't eat the food we said we weren't taking anything. I told him to have someone check the chicken as it's not right and he said he would let them know. He came back with the check I paid the full check and again mentioned to the waiter that someone should really look into the chicken as someone will get sick and we left. My wife was upset as she was upset I paid the sill receipt but my point is the following. Reputable locations who take their businesses serious pay attention and monitor their patrons. Ultimately without them they don't have a business. Your representative taking care of us saw we barely touched the food if at all. This is not normal at an eating establishment and your only concern was that we didn't want to take the food home. Following my warning on the food there was no concern just collect your check and rip. Enjoy the hundred bucks we will never be back. Left a star as I couldn't post with none.

Older grandson had wings, and they were so spicy that he kept running out of water and we had to ask for more water a couple times. I had a combo with a cheese enchilada, which was good but surprising because it was topped with seasoning instead of sauce, and a chimichanga which was very good. Middle grandkids shared a chicken basket. I'm somewhat mobility impaired and the choice of seating was the patio, which is all high-tops, which don't work for me, or upstairs and there was no elevator.

Mexitacos has officially become one of my favorite local spots. After an outstanding first and second visit, I came back again, and they proved the experiences aren't a fluke. I've had the steak fajitas, grilled shrimp, Quesadilla and beef tacos over my visits, and everything has been consistently fresh, flavorful, and expertly prepared. The steak fajitas are still the standout and remain some of the best I've ever had--perfectly seasoned, tender, and served sizzling with all the traditional accompaniments. The service has been exceptional on our visits. The staff is friendly, attentive, and genuinely seems to care that you enjoy your meal. The restaurant itself is clean, welcoming, and has a fun atmosphere that makes you want to stay a while. Consistency is what separates a good restaurant from a great one, and Mexitacos delivered another five-star experience. It's easy to see why they have such a loyal following, and I'll definitely be back again, many tables had Fajitas and it's not hard to understand why.... read more

I don't know how they do it, but it's so delicious and served perfectly hot every time! Actually, this is one of my two go to restaurants and favorite spots that I use all the time! It's not uncommon for me to go here every weekend for even eight weeks in a row. While the service is excellent. the food is cooked to order. So you may wait a little longer than you're used to for your food, but that's the reason why it's so delicious and so perfectly served! If you'd rather be served faster there's plenty of other options to go. You still get served fast enough though and they do put a nice bowl of chips and salsa on your table while you wait. I am sort of stubborn so every time I go I get the grilled chicken and shrimp fajitas with corn tortillas. You could also get regular tortillas. This meal is so perfect for me. I'm never gonna change but oh my goodness they have one heck of a menu. Also, this place is absolutely beautifully decorated, and you feel like you're in Mexico City! I guess it's time to let the secret out, you'll really be happy you went here!
