Don Jose Mexican Restaurant East Hanover NJ

Very nice atmosphere. Even had live music! The taco shells are homemade too! Very impressed with the quality of food and service. Loved the cups our drinks came out in as well. Sadly couldn't eat dessert was too full!

What a gem of a place! Such a fun vibe and so colorful! While it was packed, we were sitting much sooner than expected. The food was delicious and plentiful! So happy to see all the fun mocktails on the menu!! The strolling guitar is an excellent touch!!

The place is very colorful, it looks beautiful, the waitresses were attentive all the time, the food was delicious I really enjoyed the nachos with red and green sauce the burrito and chicken quesadilla with piña colada.

From entering to exit, everything was great. Friendly staff, delicious food! I ordered fish tacos for lunch. Love the decor. I’ll be going there again for sure.

A great little Mexican restaurant. Service is always quick and the decor is really great; but the food is why you're reading this and that is excellent.

It's a family owned business, and all of the great staff is related. The staff were all friendly and attentive. Plenty of parking. The steak for my sizzling steak fajitas was a bit tough and overcooked. I confess I didn't specify med-rare for the meat. Decent sized portions that tasted good. I had my leftovers for lunch the following day and it was still good, but the meat was still tough.

Delicious authentic Mexican food and good service

I love Don Jose’s the food is amazing and the staff is so friendly! 10/10 recommend if you’re in the area. In fact, you should travel to East Hanover NJ just for this establishment!

Don Jose's is a great place to eat. The food is always good and the service is spot on. Carne Asada and Pollo Mexicana are out go-to meals, both very food and delicious. The night we went, they also had a mariachi band, added to the atmosphere.

Great service honestly and Good food. Had dinner with my family and our server was attentive and very friendly with us, we also got to hear live Spanish songs because they had a guitar player that went around tables with acoustic guitar and serenade for people. I do recommend the chimichanga, whether it’s chicken or steak, it’s always a hit. Tamales are a hit or miss for me because they can be dry sometimes. The churros, Sweet chimichanga, and the flan 🍮 were delicious and fresh.

Blackened Chicken Fajitas was everything I expected and more thanks to the recommendation of another great American Patriot during my last visit! Highly recommended with Cranberry Juice (and no guac) of course! 👍

Great food as always. Non alcoholic drinks only.

Amazing place, if you like good mexican food, you'll enjoy the ambient and the service.

PD. Free chips and salsa.

Our favorite Mexican restaurant. Service and food always exceptional! 🤘😎👍

A place for friends, family, festive, and affordable.

Authentic Mexican restaurant with a wide selection of dishes from classics to new takes on Mexican style. The chips and salsa is amazing with a good balance of spice and tang. The jalapeño poppers are a great selection. My go to is the bean and cheese enchiladas with jalapeños and onions. They offer virgin cocktails and you can BYOB to mix in. The churros with ice cream is a great dessert option.

This place is one word AMAZING 🤩 first of all the decoration is colorful and folkloric. The food is **DELICIOUS** generous portions, plated and full of flavor . I cleaned my plate!!!! Service is very friendly and efficient with orders and attention. I definitely will come back again. You won't mistake. I loved it 😻. Viva Mexico way!

Delicious Mexican food in a fun and festive atmosphere. I've enjoyed everything I've tried here. The Suizas Enchiladas are the best I've ever had.
