Jose's Mexican Food

The best value for Mexican food in town. I got the three items combination plate for about $23. The portions were so large it lasted me 3 meals. The food was delicious.

We’re visiting from Idaho and wanted some yummy Mexican close to our hotel. We felt like we were in a restaurant at home! It was so cute and welcoming. We had the sweetest waitress who paid extra attention to our 4 year old and his special mermaid he got on our trip. Food was delicious (crab enchiladas pictured), and the horchata was amazing. We will be back next time we’re in town!

Easy parking. Inside & outside dining. Comfortable seating. Nice array on menu from ala carte Mexican Cuisine to Exotic Mexican Specialties with shrimp, steak, pork or chicken. Custom vegetable dishes and sides. Complementary fresh tortilla chips with salsa. Friendly staff and service. My love for Jose's Mexican Food combined with love for western heritage is a welcome home.

This is the spot! Ny partner and I have been on a California road trip all week, we decided to stay the night in Monterey before heading back up north. Joses food first of all is very fresh and well made. The portions are generous. Our server Brian was super accommodating and made us feel right at home. I wish i asked the young lady who served our drinks name was: she was very sweet and welcoming as well. Highly recommend!

Such a cute Mexican restaurant off of Del Monte in Seaside. (The entrance to the parking lot is on Broadway). The decorations and ambience were both colorful and fun. Our waitress was super welcoming and attentive. Unfortunately, the food was very frustrating. I say frustrating because they CAN be better. The potential for amazing food is clearly there, but there were a couple of stumbles that made it hard to swallow. For example, their red salsa was amazing, full of flavor and tasted fresh. On the other hand, the green salsa, while still fresh tasting and had a good level of heat, was bland, very under-seasoned and needed more acidity and salt. The beans were blended smooth and creamy; I liked them, my lunch date did not. Steak fajitas - awesome, tamale - broken and cooked unevenly. Shrimp cocktail: the tomato sauce with avocado and onion was great! I probably could have drank it. Then... We got to the shrimps in the shrimp cocktail...the texture and taste were clear indicators that they were frozen precooked shrimps. You might be able to do serve that in a land-locked state but not in Monterey, where other local restaurants are serving fresh shrimp. Hopefully they find a way to bring consistency to the taste and quality of all their dishes. Currently, it almost taste like different cooks are making different sauces and dishes. It is definitely a place that I want to come back to and maybe even bring guests.
