Very good authentic Mexican tacos! The service was good. And an awesome vibe with great margaritas!

We stopped by this wonderful restaurant on our drive from NY to Florida to catch a World Cup game on TV. So glad we did!! The shrimp tacos and spicy shrimp dish were so fresh and delicious as were the salsa and sauces, not to mention the margaritas!! Our waitress Kendra was very friendly and attentive. Highly recommend this restaurant!! read more

What an incredible date night for two chickens. Me and my emo girlfriend who I'm not allowed to look at sometimes came in on a beautiful crispy Sunday night looking for some rice and beans and tequila. We were enthusiastically greeted and sat at a lovely pod like table with chairs that looked like benches and were also attached to the wall. They were really comfortable and I liked it better than a normal table. I think everytime I go into a restaurant I'm gonna ask for one and if I can't have it I'll speak to the manager or yell at a minor or something epic like that. We were given salsa and menus and left to our own devices which is never good. My gopher girl asked for the hot green salsa and decided to eat it!!!!!! It was Pwetty fweaking cwazy if you ask me. Good mouth feel though I liked the salsa and it was even better with chips believe it or not. We order quickly with our very attentive and attractive server and spot some opps from across the restaurant. Tis okay their pod-like table was across the restaurant and they couldn't see us. Me and bae just gabbed and she allowed me to look at her! This is what happens when you pay the bill ;) I got a burrito and enchilada and rice and beans. You guys the best meal in the world is rice and beans. All you need in this life is a spoon and rice and beans to be happy, successful, beautiful, and fearless. Swear. Very good times. Although I do not think I will be back in Lumberton I enjoyed my meal and my time. Infinite love read more

Lumberton does not have many family/friends dinning restaurants with nice vibe.This became our go to Mexican restaurant when we have guests come over or occasions. Its tucked in corner next to highway slightly outside the busier areas , so location could have been little better The place though has great ambiance , service is great , Food comes out fast. We have tried a lot of different vegetarian combos , different burritos , tacos , Fajitas. Portion sizes are big for the money. Everything seemed freshly prepared and tasted really good. Cocktails are great too ! Definitely one of the top hangout / casual dining spots in lumberton. read more

Great food, love the kick in the salsa . Very nice that this establishment recognizes and honors veterans. People don't understand the sacrifices veterans make. There are no holidays when u serve. It's all about the mission. We spend countless days away from family and friends on deployments. When we get the call, we go wherever we're ordered and we return home when the mission is complete. Every business should recognize that sacrifice. read more

We found this restaurant on Yelp when we were driving past last week. We split the Camerones a la diabla and it was so good! It was spicier than a lot of places which we really like. I would definitely go back here! read more

San Jose Mexican Restaurant - Camerones a la diabla - Mexican Near Me - Lumberton, North Carolina

Driving down to florida, stayed in the area and this place had good food. Fajitas are a go to, get them. huge portion just get extra tortillas. Just get it for 1 and split! Tons of meat and veggies. The margarita was 5 bucks or something cheap like that. I didn't have it but a ton of people were drinking. Lots of seats so you probably wont have to wait very long read more

Great authentic food, right off 95. We only came for appetizers and alcohol, but ended with all that and then some! I ordered a Liquid Marijuana (drink) and my man got a Sangria!! Needless to say my drink is kickin in, so if this review goes into left field blame it on the AL-co-HOL! Both drinks were very delicious and refreshing. Mine was strong how I like. I ended up with the Molcajete and it was delicious! I didn't share NONE of it either! Well seasoned, sizzling and the steak was so tender! Our server Mayra was excellent! Great customer service and food came out fast! Will definitely be back! read more

One of my favorite places to eat in Lumberton. W One of my favorite places to eat in Lumberton. That's was years ago I guess. After a long week at work we stop in to get a quick good meal lol. After 1 hour and 5 minutes of waiting to get food I ask our waitress to fix it to go. Not her fault that food was running late. So I get home open my burrito up and it's full of onions and not one pepper. I want peppers and they can keep the onions. Probably my last time ever going there. We have 40 Mexican restaurants within 10 miles. read more

Mojarra (whole tilapia) was NOT cleaned before frying. The fish was served COVERED in fish scales. Side note: I was told this is how they serve the fish. Fish scales are NOT EDIBLE! Such a huge disappointment. This is the 2nd time I've had their mojarra. The first time it was fried so hard none of the fish was edible...it was fried hard like cracklings. You are better off driving to Lumberton to get great Mexican food. I'm leaving here, after returning the fish to the kitchen, to drive to Lumberton myself. The service, however, was great and I still left a tip. read more

Very good food and good service ! Pretty decent value but I have always enjoyed the food

Excellent meal for two. We enjoyed the great service and refreshing cocktails. The food is fresh, prepared quickly and is so good, we will stop there again when traveling on 95. read more

The reviews for this place do not lie. Delicious Mexican food with very affordable prices. We were staying in Lumberton for the night and called in a take out order, since San Jose Mexican just happened to be across the street from our hotel. When I got there, my order was ready for pick-up. I had ordered the Three Vegetable Enchiladas. They were heartily stuffed with zucchini, mushrooms, corn, and spinach. So delicious! They even threw in some complimentary chips and salsa with our to-go order. On our next road trip south, San Jose Mexican Restaurant will certainly be on list of places to stop. read more

San Jose Mexican Restaurant - Three Vegetable Enchiladas (take-out). - Mexican Near Me - Lumberton, North Carolina

Food was bland ordered chipotle chicken enchiladas and no flavor and small. Spanish rice was terrible tasted like it was plain rice. I ate Mexican all over the US I am a truck driver and this was a poor excuse for enchiladas. The service was poor too waitress was more involved with her phone than asked us if everything was okay after we ate it. I told her it wasn't good but she acted like she didn't give a dam. Don't waist your time or money. read more

Everything was delicious! I called it in and picked it up and this will be my spot. Pictured dishes include: Queso Chorizo, Guacamole and Texas styled Nachos! I like extra seasoning which is why you see it. ¡Hasta luego! read more

Quesadilla Gringas and Nachos Supreme were excellent. Staff were very helpful and kind. Highly recommend

Mexican cuisine is often taken for granted because most of us must have the magarita too. This most wonderful of drinks is what will make or break your opinion of the restaurant. San Jose in Lumberton NC has the authentic look, smell, and taste. Dare I not mention the beautiful staff which was also a big part of the authenic ambience and experience. The restaurant has taken a whole strip mall and made it into this wonderful place. A place to eat, drink, and be merry. This is not all. Those who do not wish to be around all the hustle and bustle of the restaurant has a second option just out the door and down the walkway is their cantina. Yes, a mexican bar where one can just have a few tecate's or tequila shots, or whatever one desires. Parking is a bit tight and the place is quite popular. Just pay attention and all will be fine. Enjoy your experience! I did. read more

What an awesome find! Just happened to see San Jose while passing through- it's 40 minutes from home, but my husband liked the Chipotle Enchiladas so much he said he'd come back just for that meal. I must agree: it was really good! I had the Tacos de Carne Asada - simple but delicious. Obviously a local favorite- birthday parties going on. read more

San Jose Mexican Restaurant - Chipotle enchiladas - we'll come back just for this!!! - Mexican Near Me - Lumberton, North Carolina

The first time I was very pleased with everything about this place, but today 8/5/24 was the worst experience I have ever had anywhere. I ordered very simple chicken, steak and cheese only burrito, they took it back and supposedly fixed it but again it was wrong. If they was a language barrier don't nod your head up and down and say yes I understand, because all that does is make your customers very angry. My rating is negative 3,678 thousand read more

The horchata wasn't flavored enough. It kinda tastes old or like it had to much vanilla. Barely came to check on us. And the food looked old like it didn't have any color and it was just not flavorful. Beautiful inside just needs an upgrade on the cook and some of the staff. read more

Sad to say Not good Would loved to have enjoyed this place However very sad to say it was not good at all Salsa was not bad chips were not bad The wait staff was nice and helpful Not fresh ingredients or authentic We will not be returning Wish it would have been at least 3 stars read more

This is an exemplary Mexican restaurant in a small town. The menu is highly varied and has lots of interesting items. I was in town for 2 weeks and probably ate there at least 5 times for dinner. The margs aren't very strong, but they're tasty. Service is quick and efficient. Nice atmosphere, family friendly. Good location. read more

Food was so good! My family stopped here for take out dinner on a road trip to Florida. Ordered the Enchilada Supreme and Fajita Chihuahua and both were outstanding. Friendly staff, and quick preparation time. Gave it 4 stars because guacamole was a bit salty and seemed like the inside needed some updating. All in all we are definitely happy with it all and looking forward to stopping through again for lunch/dinner on the way back home! read more
