Reviews for Jose Tequila's Mexican Grill and Bar in Newport News, VA

Our service tonight was exceptional. We were celebrating a friend's graduation and our server was very attentive. I don't know... if it was just me or the food was just phenomenal. The drinks were on point and there was very little weight in between himtaking out drink orders and our food orders. They were even accommodating when we had to switch from a smaller table to a largertable. And we're already plotting our next trip to Jose tequilas. Read more

The only place I will order Mexican for takeout in the area. The queso is amazing. The I got the pollo tropical and a couple... tacos. Perfect amount of food and flavor was great. The sauces and salsa were great too. Best place for takeout in the area. Read more

My experience with Jose Tequila's was alright. The service was ok. Entering the restaurant the Hotess was not friendly she was... folding kids menus when we walked up. We patiently waited on her to finish folding before I had to say hello.Then with attitudeshe seated us. The waiter came over promptly and asked us what we wanted to drink. In no time our drinks arrived and we wereready to order. Our order came out. I ordered the Fajita salad and and chicken bowl. The food tasted ok and it was nothing toright home about. I'm not sure if it was a bad lunch but they can do better............ Second visit: This time around I camewith my friends and family. The experience was a little different. The service was quick. We were checked on and our cups wererefilled promptly. Our waiter worked really hard. I can't remember his name but shout to him. I kept calling him Jose' lol. Heanswered to it. He was great. The food was fresh and fantastic the place was packed but the service did not lack. Kudos to thestaff much better improvement. ???? Read more

Food (and margaritas) were delicious! We sat outside on the patio and the atmosphere was perfect for a casual meal and... conversation. The servers were also very helpful and personable. Read more

Great atmosphere and music in the background. Tasty margaritas and food. Would be a great location for dancing after the... pandemic. Felt like I was on a vacation. Also has outdoor areas. I'll return there for certain. Read more

The tropical margarita was sooo good. The surf &turf tacos were good, but definitely ask for some extra turf (a little stingy... with the steak). Great atmosphere with LIVE music. Read more

I had the Bang Bang Shrimp Tacos and they were delicious. All you get is the tacos but they are dressed up beautifully with... garnishes. They were crispy shrimp with just the right amount of sweet heat. The service was good and I also ordered astrawberry Margareta that was average at best but still good. O have been here before and once again they didn't disappoint. Acouple across the bar ordered a drink called the DUI that looked big and strong enough to knock a horse on its butt. Overall agood choice for drinks and quick Mexican food. Read more

The food is fine, but where this place really shines is in its margaritas. I like the frozen strawberry margarita but the... regular one is also fantastic. One honest criticism I have of this place though is that the menu is a mess. You shoulddefinitely study it before actually visiting the restaurant and attempting to find something you want to order. Good luck! Read more
