Don't judge a book by its cover because this restaurant has some of the tastiest chicken! And if you get the chicken, make sure to add on the charro beans because it definitely made the meal even better. The whole chicken meal includes the chicken, a side of rice, 8 corn tortillas, grilled onion, grilled jalapeno, and lime. Salsas are included as well. Charro beans are an extra fee. It is casual dining here but also feels homey. Service was quick and efficient. I want to try the other menu items, but I feel like the chicken reigns supreme here and is a tried and true staple. read more

Pollos Asados Don Jose - Whole chicken with charro beans - Mexican Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

This is going to seem more like a rant than anything which I wanted to avoid. I feel like you should judge an establishment on more than just food. The service, ambience, cleanliness, etc.... The food is AMAZING HERE! Been here a couple of times. Just a little inconsistent and the tortillas are bad. The rest is awesome! The burgers are some of the best I've had in town! The chicken and sides are pretty much great! We've had the discada, fajita, etc.... All great. Our gripes are with the service! I'm confused. There are waitresses there, just don't know why? They take your order, bring it. THATS IT! Several times we've had to flag down a waitress, or one time had to get up and tap one on the shoulder. There is a line for tip, so I assume they are waitresses. They look at you like you are bugging them. I'm so sorry but I feel so unwelcome when we come. Make it one of those place where you order, then get your food at counter! I'm sorry if this takes away from the food being great! I promise it is. We will just order that out from now on! read more

Great little place to eat. Fast service. The best grilled chicken. Staff friendly

The food is amazing! From the rice, beans, and all the way to the famous chicken! You can't forget about the fajitas as well. Pair all this up with their pico de gallo, guacamole, and salsa verde and you will be back for more! read more

We have tried this place twice well, we were in San Antonio and the parrillada it's always her favorite to try. Today we tried that baked potato with Carne Asada and that is just as good. All the meats, rice and beans and free refill on tea definitely hit the spot. read more

Worst service! We sat down for ten minutes while everyone around us was being served that walked in after us. Many of the waitresses saw us there with no service and continued to serve others that came in after. Will not be returning if this is how they choose to treat people. read more

The best grilled chicken in San Antonio! Great service and prices too. Generous portions!

This place is absolutely AMAZING, I'm upset there isn't one in the West Coast when I go back home. Employees are so friendly and explain everything, plenty of parking, prices are good. The food is DELICIOUS, the chicken is juicy, the beans taste amazing. I am completely impressed by this place and will be returning every time I am in town. They offer a 10% discount when you check in on yelp. Yes please. I definitely recommend. read more

Placed an order on the phone. I was told that they only had chicken and that it would be ready in 10 minutes. My husband gets there and is told that there was no chicken even though we ordered on the phone 20 minutes before closing. read more

This place is pretty good for the South Side, chicken was pretty moist, the salsa was good, the papas con asada was tasty, like mashed potato nachos. Me and my family ordered food to go, the lemonade tasted fresh but the horchata was blah. I'd still come again just with a different drink read more

They may close early. We just left because they wouldn't attend us in their dining area because it was a slow night and they decided to close early. NEVER RETURNING. read more

Love this spot! Their chicken ,rice, beans are very flavorful. Don't forget the green salsa which tops off well on the chicken. Don't forget a cold Mexican Coke to drown it all down. Their prices are really reasonable for the amount of food that you get. We love to pick it up & enjoy it at home. read more

Stopped in to get some takeout pollo asado. The customer service was great and we didn't have to wait long for the food. I've tried other pollo asado places here in San Antonio but this has to be my new favorite. The chicken was flavorful and juicy, the steak fajitas were also juicy and flavorful. They are very generous with portions and gave lots of rice, beans, green sauce, guacamole and salsa. Large charred peppers and onions on top of the chicken and steak fajitas. We got the parillada which could easily feed 4-6 people. We definitely will be back for our next pollo asado craving! read more

One word, delicious. A new favorite of ours. The green salsa they serve is the cheery on top.

Highly recommend this place! Was in the area and wanted some chicken, yelped this place and it did not disappoint.

The portions are generous, the chicken is flavorful, fajitas are tender and they serve it with plenty of sides. If you are near or far go check out this place! You will not be disappointed! read more

Worst place and service ever. Another customer took one of my to go orders and the restaurant did absolutely nothing about it. Manager said "it wasn't my fault". All employees stared at me annoyed while i was reviewing my order when it has a sign that says to review the order before you take it. read more

Good food, good customer service, & good ambiance, all that is worth the 3 star rating BUT to be fair if it's your first time here be advised, just be sure to have all terrain tires and a decent suspension for the absolutely hellish parking lot situation be prepared for a bumpy ride as you navigate though this nightmare of an obstacle course. This patchwork of gravel and loose stones is enough to make someone nauseous. Be careful when parking here. Tight spaces and corners. read more

We were touring the Missions in the area, and hopped on Yelp to find a local restaurant for dinner. Pollos Asados Don Jose didn't have many reviews, but the ones it did have were glowing. The friendly staff handed us the menu... which was surprisingly sparse. No chips, no queso (I don't think there were any dishes with cheese). Most Mexican restaurants seem to have dozens of dishes, combinations, sides and appetizers... yet we've also experienced how quantity does not necessarily equal quality. Also, we usually fill up on frills and appetizers... which have us so full we don't really care that the food wasn't great... but I digress... My husband went with the 1/2lb Carne Asada and I ordered 1/2lb Fajitas, and it was some of the best Mexican food we've ever had! The sizzling fajitas arrived with soft corn tortillas and rice, and each dish came with a delicious sausage and foil-wrapped/grilled onion half. The Carne Asada was tender with a rich home-grilled flavor. The green sauce was so good, we asked for extra to take home! In the end, we didn't miss the appetizers and options one bit. When you've got quality food as tasty as Pollos Asados Don Jose, frills aren't necessary. read more
