"The tacos are small but tasty Camarón / Shrimp not much shrimp inside, just pieces so very pricey for the quantity of food. Burrito was OK, but the cheese was not melted and came in strips, also some peas were added. Birria tacos were good. We prefer Maria Bonita over La Casa del taco. "

"Love this place! Especially the enchiladas and blackened chicken quesadillas. Nachos are great too! Food always arrives hot and delicious."
"Everything was very good and plentiful portions! Will definitely order again. I just wish the side on the Vegetarian Tacos was refried beans, vs. black beans but I think my notes might have confused them. Don Jose needs to make clear on the description these are Vegetarian Soft Shell Tacos and made with black beans as one time they made them with ground beef. I don't think they see that on their end? Tostadas was 1/2 chicken and 1/2 bean. Very good and lots of food, shredded lettuce, pico, guac. Now Don Jose is cheaper than Maria Bonita. John 3:16-19; Acts 4:12; Romans 3:23 & 6:23. 🙏🏻"

"Maybe if I ordered at the restaurant it would be better. I paid 20$ because it was door dash, but still 10$ for a meal that is a big ribbed plastic container that the lump of rice in the middle seeped into, so I only could eat 60% of the lump of rice a little corn, 5peices of soggy lettuce, and i guess a salad?
