Customer Reviews
Guisado Delight at Jose Locos
August 3, 2023
I had the Guisado with red sauce tonight. Cooked to perfection with plenty of tender pork morsels in a tangy sauce. The food was served super fast, before our cheese crisp even came out. Our waitress didn’t have any personality but the food is worth continuing to go back for.
Unforgettable Mexican Flavors at Jose Locos
August 1, 2023
Some of the best Mexican food I’ve ever had! The salsa was extra yummy and a bit spicy, which I loved! Queso was good, tacos and fajitas were delicious, and the margaritas were strong. I also really liked their red rice. Service was exceptionally quick! We were seated right away when we walked in and didn’t wait more than 10 minutes after ordering for our food to arrive. The only damper during our visit was a screaming baby at the next table over. However, that’s not the restaurant’s fault and we will return in the future
A Fresh and Flavorful Experience at Jose Loco
July 31, 2023
New location directly next door to previous spot. Beautiful atmosphere and fresh feel! Can’t wait to visit again! Food and service were exceptional! Served in a timely, I’d even say quick timeframe! Super friendly service and our server continued to check on us and tend to our requests in a friendly manner. Food was hot and the flavors were great, with a slight spiciness just enough to keep your mouth happy, happy, happy!
Would I go back? I WILL DEFINITELY go back!
High-Quality Food Justifies the Price
July 29, 2023
Expensive but actually worth the quality of food. I guess depends on what you call expensive too. Four people $100 2 waters. I hate spending $3 on a drink lol
A Culinary Oasis at Jose Locos
July 28, 2023
This was the second time eating at Jose Locos within the last two weeks with my lady. We enjoyed it so much the first time we came back again for date night.
This restaurant checks all three boxes- Delicious food, fast & friendly service, and the decor/atmosphere is authentic. Oh, as a bonus, the prices are reasonable and the portion sizes are generous.
Their chips, salsa & Queso are fantastic and fresh. I has their Al Pastor street taco and those were very tasty as well. I’m a big eater so I also ate the enchilada supreme-one chicken, one beef, one bean & one cheese enchilada with red sauce. All were packed with wonderful flavor and cooked to perfection. My lady had the loco ribeye with mushrooms and cheese sauce which she absolutely loved.
We highly recommend this Mexican restaurant and will be coming back anytime we are craving Mexican
cuisine.
