Don Jose's Restaurant

Strongly recommend Outside is desceving.... Neatly put together inside Server was very polite and knowledgeable Shrimp acaputo was delicious

After visiting the meadow view bluebonnets, my friend and I were hungry. We were trying to find the other Mexican restaurant we went to previously but was unable to and we stumbled upon this one. Food was decent, pretty good! Service was good! It was more of a hangout spot; bar grill type ambiance. It's not bad though! Try it out! Till then, let's eat!

We really enjoyed trying Don Jose's in Ennis. We ordered fajitas for two, chicken, beef and shrimp, and it was wonderful! The tortillas were yummy. The salsa was good and our waitress was very attentive and kept our drinks full and salsa cups full as well. lolThe hostesses were on their phone the entire time...which is really irritating. Go to work to work...but they sat us and we didn't have to deal with their lack of attention to guests anymore so that was nice. We got our own high chair for little man.The restaurant was clean and had a big patio area. The bathrooms were clean and they DO have a baby changing table. Thank you!lots of parking.big bar area to watch games and have some delish cocktails.We will be back!

First time here. Hostess greeted us, asked how many, then proceeded to escort us to the outdoor patio. Never offered an option to sit indoors or outdoors. Menus were not clean. Server Erik was welcoming. We both ordered the taco and enchilada plate with rice and beans. Took nearly 20 minutes for our food. Too long for an empty restaurant. We had to ask our server to check on our order. He told us "they'll bring it out." The taco, enchilada, and rice were flavorful. The beans tasted like they were from a can... not good at all. Meanwhile our server was at another table having a 20 minute personal conversation with an old classmate.   I see why your scores are low for service. Doubt we'll be back.

Long-term TexMex fixture in Ennis, with a legit kitchen staff and a lot of stuff in the plus column. Pros: generous portion sizes, daily drink & dinner specials, full(ish) bar, really good food, and quick seating at most times. Cons: slow drink service, and some dishes may miss the mark (depends on staffing).Details: (1) our Queso and Chips were good, but chip refills were slow, (2) even though business was slow - drinks took forever, but my Grande Margarita was good, (3) my Tacos al Carbon were easily the largest I've ever seen at ANY restaurant, and they were GOOD!, (4) our Chicken Flautas were overcooked - burnt black on the ends, and (5) the 1/2 order of Chicken Fajita Nachos was not only a huge portion, they were VERY good!If they re-train a few staffers and fine-tune a few details, this place will be AWESOME! Give them a try and see for yourself.

The food was great and the service was awesome. We actually arrived before the crowd. It was nice to get the check and to feel that it was equivalent to the product! We will visit again

We were a party of 7 and frankly the food was very average and kind of expensive but the worst was the service. Quoted 15 minutes for our table and we waited 35. Ok not that big of a deal. But our server was terrible. Instead of "serving" us she stood at the head of the table and asked us to pass down everything instead of walking to where we sat and placing things. We found that really weird- there was nothing blocking her path- was it just laziness? Perhaps because she had a built in tip due to us being a party of 7 she just didn't care? We had to ask for more chips, salsa, drinks. Our food took 50 minutes from order to table and it was very mediocre. We won't go back. There are better places in Ennis.

My wife and I had lunch here yesterday. Food was good , service was some what slow. However, our waiter Cameron and I was able to talk football, as he is a UT fan and I'am a huge OU fan. I also was told this restaurant was remodel as it is nice and had a very relax vibe to it. We would eat here again.Jack W.

Went to eat here tonight for the first time and it was very delicious. The queso was not like other places, it was the best queso I've ever had. We had margaritas and birria quesadillas. My friend is gluten free and they were are able to make her birria quesadilla with corn tortilla and she was so grateful that they customized her order to her dietary restrictions! Our sever was the nicest guy and we had a nice conversation with him, I think his name was Erick. We will definitely come back to eat here when we come back through Ennis! Best Tex- Mex food!

We had a blast sitting at the bar and Melissa was the hostess with the mostest!!! If you stop by ask for Melissa!!
