Stopped for a late breakfast and the pancakes were excellent as was the bottomless coffee, but no cappuccino. Meat burrito was pretty good but needed the salsa on the side.

Cowboy Fajitas were great. Paid extra for poblanos and bacon and it was worth it. The portion was large, we shared fajitas for 1 and had some leftovers. Salsa Roja is decent not very spicy but quite flavorful. salsa verde is avocado creme-style and I’d honestly rate it a 10/10.

Not much open on Bolivar tonight, so I checked out Jose's. Place was busy but service was great. Been 3 years since I was here last, I still loved it. Had fajitas tonight. Excellent

Second time to eat here.Boiled shrimp is great & fresh. Sour cream enchiladas was really good. Tortilla soup was ok but not the best. The restaurant was clean and comfortable. Our service was good …

Good Mexican food for the peninsula. Mix of Mexican and seafood. Nice bar area. price is reasonable. Service is ok. Could be a little more attentive.

Beware. They charge the same price for a virgin pina colada as one with booze in it. If that's the case, bring me the shot of rum and I will drink it. Ridiculous.

It sucked. It had a good coconut margarita and that’s where it ended. Service was exceedingly slow, food was bland and tasteless. Very disappointed.

The tamales were very dry and substituting cheese sauce for the chili was an upcharge. Really? My order came out beef when I ordered chicken. When I finally got the right order it looked fantastic! I was quickly disappointed. Great big chunks of chicken with absolutely no flavor at all! Maybe we came on a bad day? Maybe seasoning is eliminated because it's in a tourist area? Maybe there's too many cuisines served too justly prepare them all? Definitely over priced in my opinion. Server was very friendly and did a good job. Serving sizes were better than you see in a lot of places too bad the food lacked any flavor.

Stopped in on a Sunday afternoon around 6. Our group of 6 was ushered to the back party area. There were large tables, a bar, and stage. The menus were sat on the table in a stack and the hostess walked off... finally waitress comes over to get drink orders... you could tell she was busy. Other wait staff and hostess not doing much just standing around. Got up to Ask hostess for a kids menu, she said I'd have to ask server. Ok... waited, and waited... they didn't have any printed she recited what they offer. So we order the kids first, waitstaff brings it out, it has chili in staff of queso. So we mention, that is supposed to have no gravy, she proceeds to say, you'll have to let your waitress know and throw the plate on the table! So we wait and wait to let our waitress know it was incorrect and she went to fix it. Adults order, same wait staff brings food out, again throws the plates on the table and can't be bothered to bring hot sauce or the side to one dish... has to wait wait wait for the waitress...ordered mixed drinks... never got them... Our waitress was great, busy and that made it wait extremely long with little to drink, chips ran out, and some ppls food got cold while we waited for condiments. The hostess and waitstaff need training! Food was mediocre at best, but there aren't about of options on a Sunday in bolivar!

Slightly above average food and atmosphere. It does look like they make their own tortillas. Our services was great, quick to the table (which was suprising looking at the parking lot).

Service was amazing but the food was not at all what we expected. My fajitas had zero flavor, it was literally grilled chicken with onions and peppers and my husband ordered chalupas but they looked like mini tostadas (see picture). The food was hot and fresh, it just wasn’t at all the “Mexican” food we are used to.

wolf pack

We’ll start with the good, good atmosphere , great service, restrooms spotless, convenient to the beach. The Bad, two out of the 3 meals were terrible. Chip and salsa were best item of the evening. Fajita chicken tacos definitely never saw a grill, they were chewy and flavorless (I swear they were boiled) fried pork chop literally had puddled oil on top. Flautas were actually ok…until later, my body rejected them in not so pleasant ways!

Fernando Lopez

The food was average. It was not what I expected based on the reviews herein. Although, the fajitas were actually the best on the menu. Good grilled-like flavoring! The flour tortillas are not fresh and not "homemade." Big negative. Salsa was spicy, but there was a missing ingredient but not sure what exactly it was. Maybe cilantro. Food portions are large and pricey. Service was average.

I have never been so dissatisfied with a restaurant that I actually made time to leave a bad review. We were there for almost 2 hours including the 35 minute wait time. The waitress was super swe…

Ordered the fried seafood and got hard shell in the stuffed crab when I eat it. They were like they didn't care. Worst service, food is subpar, when you ask to talk to a manager the server says you are not telling the truth. I would advise you avoid this place like the plague.

Roxana Barboza

The food was terrible, it didn't look anything like the picture. I ordered fried shrimp and they gave me a shrimp and strawberry salad. I don't recommend it.

Jason Fulk

So I have to say that our waitress was wonderful and the staff was awesome. Here's the bad part... My wife and I both got food poisoning from here. I can say that for sure because it's the only thing we ate that day. We had "Willy's Cajun Sampler" I think it was called. Fries frog legs, shrimp, gator, and maybe fried oysters. The food tasted alright but we drove two miles down the road and we both got violently sick. I hope others have better luck. $138 bill and we didn't even get to digest it.

Shawna Perkins

Service started out good, we ordered our food. Meal arrived, missing an order of fried shrimp, the breading on the shrimp and onion rings was awful. Ordered a sirloin steak, after eating a 1/4 of the steak, I notice a fly that appeared to have been in the marinade lying dead on my plate. Showed the waitress, she appeared to be shocked that such a thing happened. Was told it would be comped but we were charged for a meal, I wouldn't have finished. Waitress also had her boyfriend sitting next to us and she spent time with them, as she rubbed his shoulders. She didn't refill our drinks until we slurped nothing out of our drinks. Worst place we ate at all weekend. Don't recommend

Sharon Soileau

No. Just no. Don't do it. It's NOT worthy of the 4ish stars you see here. We took a chance even after reading the most recent reviews, hopeful that our experience would be better. Our optimism was regrettable. Service was absolutely terrible - nearly non-existent - especially considering that the staff-to-customer ratio was 2-to-1 at least. They definitely need to figure out a service system because they don't have one. Now let's talk about food. Our table of 8 had a split experience with that. Half of us had good meals, while the other half had below expectation meals. The good choices were the fried ones (but not the crawfish unless you like them tough & chewy), the strawberry walnut salad, tamales, & enchiladas. The queso was good too. Now for the cost. I would say the prices are above average by comparison considering the quality not being worth it. Also, they charged a "large party 20%" gratuity on each ticket - a ticket mind you that was marked "guest count: 5" & still suggested an additional tip. See the picture of one of our recipes for clarity. So, if you want to be optimistic, I'd say good luck with that.

This was my “Large Bowl” of chicken tortilla soup. It is not that hard to cook good Mexican food…Do better Jose’s. I threw it in the trash. Worst “soup” I’ve ever seen. Did someone throw up in a blender and forget to pour the entire bowl in? The chicken fajitas could not be chewed, it had been warmed in a microwave wayyyy too long. The kids chicken quesadilla had all cheese and a spec of chicken. Entire meal was wasted. What is the deal with the horrible food down here? Is it all prepackaged and warmed up in a microwave? Do you own a grill? I cook, it’s not that hard to cook edible food. If you are able to swallow and get the food down, you will expel it quickly after. Read the other reviews. Horrible.
