Let me tell you a little something about No Way Jose's. We are not a big chain restaurant! I always told my husband that when we opened our own place I wanted to call it, No Way Jose's. You will never forget the name and EVERYONE has said No way Jose at least once in their life. Jose started out as dishwasher in 1988.

Horrible food. Something I could've made at home. Presentation wasn't appealing. Need a cheese sauce over the quesadilla. Shrimp was juicy but needed seasoned better. Very blanned food.

This was an incredible experience!

We walked in, we were greeted immediately and told where we could sit. Before we could even fully sit down, our server (I forgot his name, sorry!) brought us 2 orders of chips, salsa and cheesy bean dip (if you don't think you'll like it.. You will lol).

Their menu had plenty of options and something for everybody.

My wife got the Mexicano fajitas - came out sizzling and enormous portions.

Older son (8) got the kids smothered burrito with rice and beans - it was delicious and not a scrap was left.

Younger son (5) got the kids quesadilla with rice

We've been trying to eat here for a long time, but it's always crowded around lunch and dinner time. Best time for us to go is an hour or two before closing. It was a very nice place to eat. Food and service was great! Everyone was very friendly and helpful! Me, hubby and the kids enjoyed it. Will definitely go back again! Gracias No Way Jose's :)

The absolute best Mexican food I've ever had! The rice is always perfect and I don't know what kind of cheese they use, but it's so delicious!! This deserves way more than 5 stars.

Finally! We finally stopped in to try this place. I drive by it all the time and it is always crowded no matter when you go by.

We were greeted and seated by a nice lady who may be the owner or co owner, she also rang us up when we left.

I was so excited that they bring you a cheese dip to the table as complimentary. I always order that at Mexican places but you dont have to here, it comes with the salsa and chips. It was so good I just didnt care much for the thick chips they had. I like a thinner and lighter chip.

They have a huge menu and being use to always getting the same thing at the

My son went inside and made a reservation for 7. He came back out while we waited for family to arrive and he said this restaurant is one of those places that is no frills and it will be either really good or really bad mom. Well it wasn't really good it was really GREAT and DELICIOUS!!! Huge portion. Fast service. So good. We will be back.

Family of mine has been going here for several years, many times a week! Their drinks, food, customer service and overall atmosphere is amazing! We’ve never had such great waiters that we can talk to for hours and joke around with. They have the best chips and salsa, bean dip and cheese dip. Their entrees are delicious and I’ve never eaten anything from here that I haven’t liked yet. Food is always hot and service is quick! They’re always making sure you’re well taken care of and that drinks are always full. They know what I want to drink right when I walk in! Great family restaurant

We decided to give this place a try after hearing so much about it. First of all we waited over 5 minutes to even be acknowledged at the door. The man at the register told the couple that came in after us that it would be a few minutes. Finally we were seated and received chips, salsa and bean/cheese dip. The chips weren't anything special not even warm like most places. I ordered the burrito special and my husband ordered enchiladas supreme. The sauce they used for both was very chunky and sweet like spaghetti sauce. If you like chunky peppers and onions then this is the place for you but

Currently sitting here in the restaurant enjoying carnitas. Good flavor and a good portion. My issue is everyone's rice and beans were cold. By the time our waitress returned to the table it was too late for a correction. You are a restaurant, your food should NEVER BE COLD when served.The waitress rarely checked in leaving us wishing that we had the other waitress that was full of energy and attentive. Overall the table voted for just ok.

Found this place accidentally. Went in and had the best chimichanga ever. Veggie option. I was so happy.
Did take out today. Same thing. Uncooked. Soggy. Veggies raw. The tortilla was like it was soaked in water pasty yuck.
Then they have the guile to charge for jalapeños and forget the silverware.
25 bucks I'll never see again.

IT WAS SO BAD I HAD TO THROW IT IN THE TRASH. SAME FOR MY HUSBAND'S FOOD. It also ended up in the TRASH.

Learn to listen and shut up so the customer can say what they need to. And IF you can't then don't work there.
Given how angry I am there

AMAZING! First they brought out chips and salsa and an additional dip of bean and cheese (at no extra cost). We ordered an addition green salsa. All were SUPERB! The I was treated to one of the finest huevos rancheros experiences of my life. Service was outstanding and the decour is quaint and charming. A quick trip off of I-85, I highly recommend!

We've eaten at NWJ's several times - the first time, because it was a convenient halfway meeting point for a family visit. However subsequent visits have been because it is consistently delicious! I have tried several dishes here, but my favorite is their carnitas. They have a carnitas dinner that is MASSIVE and is just absolutely delicious. Usually there is a very friendly woman named Virginia (who I believe is 1 part of a husband/wife ownership team) who is always happy to answer questions and make recommendations. Unfortunately this trip I was so excited when I got my plate that I

Good place with reasonable prices. Stopped in for lunch, had the Burrito California, which was really good. The chips were pretty good - they served them with a bean/queso blanco dip, which I finished off, and this rice side seemed very fresh - light and fluffy.

Staff was friendly and helpful.

Would come back again.
