Reviews For Don Jose's Restaurant

So happy Shannon is now working for Don Jose’s!!! She’s the only server we ask for at Cotton Patch and then she left and we haven’t been back since. We’ve only been to DJ’s a handful of times but it will now be a regular for us. Shannon is the absolute best server around. She has an incredible ability to make everyone she takes care of feel like they’re her most important customer. We never had an empty glass, chips and salsa were never empty, and she makes the BEST top shelf margaritas. And every table around us was getting the same quality of service from her. DJ’s has good food and atmosphere. Having great customer service puts it over the top!

We were a group of 19 there to celebrate my birthday. Our server was absolutely incredible. Our group members kept switching seats to visit, yet he brought everything perfectly to everyone, regardless of where they move to. The entire staff made my day special, and we loved the food. A wonderful experience!

Erik PJ was an excellent waiter taking care of our Ministry group, Freedom Connection. We had about 30 people in our group and he took care of us well. Food was excellent and great atmosphere.

Great meal with the boys. Good alternative to Chili’s for the 4th night in a row lol. Great experience all around with great highway access. Margarita was the right amount of spice. Erik PJ is an excellent server. Best, Shane Kofoed

Great restaurant. Do not get fooled by people who post bad reviews about this place. The parking lot was almost full when we arrived here. The waitress, Martha, took us to a booth right away, and we ordered the food - a vegetarian fajita, which was not even on the menu. THREE MINUTES LATER the food arrived, and it was awesome - take a look at the video and the pictures we posted. GREAT FOOD, GREAT SERVICE, and GREAT ATMOSPHERE. Martha, the waitress, was excellent! We will return!!!!

Little concerned with delayed service at first. We were sitting at the bar and apparently there was a shift change. Once bar tender realized we had not ordered yet, he overly compensated to make sure everything else was on time and perfect. I live in Houston area and wish we could become a regular here. Great food and service. Prices were better, pre-covid level, than our TexMex places in Katy.
