Jose Jose in Red Deer

The food was pretty good for take out, can only imagine if we had time to dine in! Portion sizes are massive and food quality is great. Cute little restaurant and lovely staff.

My husband and I love it here. Amazing food, wonderful service and very well priced. We always leave satisfied!

good food. homemade flavor. and excellent service..

the service is amazing and the people working are very nice. the atmosphere is very welcoming and cozy.

Very authentic! Delicious and ran by the cutest couple. They are very sweet and inviting.

best mexican food i ve had in my life. i do not joke when i say that this food changed my life. the chicken fajitas were absolutely mouthwatering. the simple yet delectable fajita takes you back to a time of enlightenment. the staff are the kindest warmest hearted people i ve ever seen. despite being a supposedly 2 man job they do an indescribable job at making you feel the warmth of a quaint latin village while having the service of a restaurant chain. food was delivered incredibly fast and simply delighted me with the sheer quality of this food. i would do anything to come back here and experience this for the first time. anyone would have to be an absolute moron to only take this restaurant for its negative reviews, of people who seem to have the intelligence quota of a pine tree. it is ridiculous that this restaurant does not have more customers, and it was so sad to see that we were the only people in the restaurant. the man who opened this restaurant deserved a nobel peace prize, because i m sure anyone who experiences this outlet would simply cease every problem in their mind. i could not encourage you more to enjoy this extraordinarily ill advertised latin restaurant Edit: i must apologize as i had a rude awakening that i spoke terribly too soon. i wrote this review as i was eating my chicken fajita. i was surprised to see at the end of the meal that the cook from the back came in and offered us a fair selection of delectable treats. i have never met kinder people and i m tearing up as i write this. when i first got here i first ate the salsa and chips, which i was scared to see as it seemed like it was uncut tomatoes and herbs. i was terribly mistaken when i took the first bite, as i was transferred into an alternate reality. they mix the crisp sour bite and the true spice to an incomprehensible level. i believe that the people who cook these meals are truly omnipotent. i eat the delicious main and then i am surprised by potentially the most delicious treat to end the best supper. these people are salt of the earth and i will go on to tell everyone i meet about the experience i had today. this shifted my worldview for life and i truly believe there are good people out there.

Had some very good food here and they served us near closing , everything was on point

The enchaladas are to die for. There was an older gentleman working the front who was very nice to my friend and I. He recommended the enchaladas to us and they did not dissapoint, overall I highly recommended eating here

The food is authentically delicious! Soooo good!

Excellent food, I really liked the super burrito. Jose is incredibly nice and helped me learn Spanish.

Wow!! Just came in and ordered a burrito take away and it was the best most authentic burrito I have had in a long time!! Homemade salsa, juicy and tender beef with so much flavor and the rice was so fresh. 10 out of 10

Just had the burrito and it was the most delicious burrito I have had in a while! So flavorful and authentic the beef was fresh and juicy. I cant wait to come back again. They are doing it right here!!

Very cute place,wholesome staff. All around good time, good food definitely will be back :)

My absolute favorite Mexican restaurant!

in an unassuming location in a strip mall hides an amazing, authentic, family-run restaurant. Everything is so flavourful, excellent, friendly service. I make an effort to eat here every time I m in Red Deer

Every once in a while I get a hankering for their super burrito. I was initially off-put by the presentation, but the thing is an experience. I havent even tried anything else . I get the 3 spice level to suit my gringo palate.

Very good food, very good person, the Salvadoran lady who served us

This is an awesome restaurant. Authentic Mexican food. It is a small family owned business. The owners are friendly and the food is fantastic.

A real hidden gem!!! If you love real LATIN food and not the fast food kind, this place is definitely worth the stop. Large portions spiced to your desired level, friendly family staff and authentic Central American food. We will come back again!

One of the best places to get Latin food in Red Deer. The food is incredible every time I order from here. I love the amount of spice they put in their food, you definitely need to be specific about how much you would like. Very generous portions and reasonably priced.

Wonderful hidden gem. Authentic Mexican food, with a delicious hot sauce (and I mean hot. ). Ordered the chicken fajita and was pleasantly surprised - large portion, reasonable cost . Great lunch spot .

So good. The best

Never knew this was here finally found it and decided to try it and I was not disappointed. Service was great took the time to explain the menu and recommend their favourites. The food was even better. Left feeling extremely full and the price was bang on. 5/5 can t wait to go back !

1st visit tonight and we were very impressed. Great food and service Well done, we will definitely be back.

Most excellent meal. Two are for $30.

Amazing food and the owners are just great people!

This is a fantastic place with very good food at an exceptional value. I had the beef enchiladas and they were very good. Be careful indicating your spice level, I ordered a med level and it was very spicy. I like hot foods so I was fine but if you are not accustomed to really spicy foods go light.

Really great food, atmosphere and service. The hostess was great. I ordered the chicken quesadilla with side of rice and beans. SO GOOD. It was quiet when we visited, would definitely say this is a hidden gem. 10/10 would recommend!

Delicious Delicious Delicious We have been looking for a restaurant like this for years. We will be back for sure to try something different. Food

Fantastic little spot to go! Huge portions and amazing prices! Definitely a hidden gem in Red Deer!

The food, it was filling, but it wasnt good. The chicken Enchilada was disappointing. I would maybe give it a second chance, and get another dish, but not for quite some time.

Not sure why this place has good food reviews. Id avoid it like the Plague. The atmosphere is eclectic lets just say. Ive never seen so many glass dolphins and plastic grapes in my life. It was clean Ill give them that, but I wasnt rubbing my fingers over the copious amounts of fake fruit. The service was ok. They were out of most of their menu items. I ordered the enchiladas, and to be honest I was afraid of them. The tortillas were mushy, you could tell the rice was out of a bag, and after my friend made a joke about food poisoning. I couldnt even eat. What I did eat lacked in flavour. They made it spicy, but the only thing I tasted was the spice. Which was pretty mild. It was not fresh. The vegetarian options were just beans and rice. We went on a Saturday at around 6pm. There was NO ONE in there, and I quickly realized why. I swear I thought Gordon Ramsey was going to start shouting from the kitchen. I will say I was so afraid of getting sick from the food, that when I went home I made myself sick. I have never been that afraid of food before. Call it anxiety if you want. I didnt get food poisoning, but I consider myself lucky. Dont go here.

Love this place. Best food around at phenomenal prices.

Great food and service!

Consistently delicious!

Homestyle Latin flavors, a hidden gem. 5 mins off Hwy 2 a Red Deer surprise.

Good: menu well organized and with good range of options, nice size portions, dishes full of flavours, service running in good speed. Bad: decoration is overwhelming, male washroom out of service, ladies washroom with no soap and with a leaking tap. Great place for takeouts, facilities still need work.

BEST Latin food 10/10, would go again

I ate there last night, excellent food and a friendly staff. They are not shy about cranking up the heat if you like your food spicy.

Great food and great prices.....you do not walk away hungry!!!!l

Great food, good value, generous portions, and friendly staff. Tastes very authentic, the ingredients used feel high quality. Its really a hidden gem in Red Deer. I drive between Calgary and Edmonton quite often, and its the 2nd time I stopped on my way for lunch/dinner. Ill be making it a more common occurrence. Highly recommended.

Really great authentic food, the man working was super nice and helpful with choosing my meal. Will be back :)

Another hidden gem in Red Deer!!! You need to experience this truly authentic and incredible tasty Mexican food!! Generous portions as well!! Dont think about it, just DO IT!!

5 of us went for lunch. Each of us ordered something. Every meal was fantastic, hot and delicious. We will definitely be back.

We went to Jose Jose for dinner last night. The food is amazing, has a home style feeling as its cooked all from fresh to order. Papousas on point, empanada was hot n crispy and my friends said their shrimp dish n steak dish were also exceptional. Had the burrito supremo and fajita burrito also and both r a gooood. Huge portions definitely to fill u up and have left overs for such a good price. Ive never has beans so friggen good omg!! Mom n pop operated and ran which is cute. They even took their time to speak a little Spanish with me!

As close as it gets to eating an authentic Mexican home cooked meal. Everything is fresh and tasty. Cant say it enough this place is awesome.

Absolutely delicious. Generous portions, quality food, and the owners are so friendly. Definitely recommend eating here!

Fantastic authentic Mexican food . New #1 restaurant for the wife and I

My asian wife was very hesitant to try here (she usually hates mexican food with its reliance on overpowering cumin) but we both loved it. I got their enchilada king: very tasty and filling. My wife was super impressed with the shrimp platter: great flavors and a large amount of shrimp. We will be back!

José José is a lovely hidden gem. Great food, great service and the ambiance is authentic. A family owned restaurant and if you would like to support local this is the place. Food : 5/5

Been coming to Jose Jose since I can remember, its hands down the best food in Red deer, its filling and made with love,

I think when we travel between Edmonton and Calgary, we will stop here often. Excellent food, excellent value So much flavor.

I love this little hidden gem in north Red Deer! Absolutely fabulous food, atmosphere and customer service. Everything is freshly made and delicious. If you re looking for delicious, authentic food, come to Jose Jose!

Awesome and authentic Mexican food. Wonderful service and great atmosphere. Highly recommend this hidden gem!

Jose Jose is authentic, and the food, and atmosphere is amazing. It is definitely a must when Im in town. Delicious!!

You have to try this latin restaurant wonderfull food , generous portions at very reasonable price run by a lovely Latin lady. Stick to level 1 or 2 heat unless you are very tolerant of spice . You just cant go wrong here. Kid-friendliness: Fun place for the kiddies.

Excellent taste and price. Cool atmosphere

Awesome little restaurant with incredible food, that is still at an affordable price. Cant beat it!

Man o man was this food sooo good. My enchilada was probably the best Ive ever had. Service was exceptional and restaurant had warm family owned vibes.

Fantastic spot for Mexican food Enchilada was cheezy and flavorful. Great atmosphere and friendly workers..will be back again

Absolutely delightful find in Red Deer!! This just might be the best Mexican restaurant we ve been to - ever!!! Will definitely return as often as possible on our trips through Red Deer. Parking: Free parking right in front of restaurant.

Always amazing food and super friendly!

You just gotta try it. Youll love it. Trust me.

These people are the sweetest. We ve been going here since my daughter was 4. She used to call the owner her Hispanic Grandma. She just loved this place. My only complaint would be the over-cooked pupusas meal. It was a little dark (read charred) on the outside and it didn t peel apart like it s supposed to. But really, this little restaurant has heart and we will be back because it feels like home.

Honestly my wife and I have been looking for a good Mexican place since we left Calgary. Went to this place on a whim and not only was it very reasonably priced the food itself was amazing. As well as the portion size. The lady working there was great to our son and brought him little cups of berries. 100 percent would go back again. We need more places like this.

This is some excellent food. Great value for the money, too.

I love Jose Jose Restaurant Because it is amazing food ! So fresh , great flavors, the spicy sauce it is home make . Isn t from a bottle make a big different ! The owner are lovely people truly caring and compassion! The prices are very affordable. I am telling you authentic Latin Food! And bonus part the Restaurant have an amazing decoration so traditional, so cultural , inviroment very lovely to relax , enjoy by yourself or just to celebrate any special occasion ! What a bless to have this amazing restaurant in Red Deer Alberta .

Family owned restaurant, great food, portions are big. Vegetarian options: They have few lacto-vegetarian options

Best food in red deer. Phenomenal meals with amazing prices and authentic atmosphere. We will be back!

So glad I decided to explore this restaurant today! What a great atmosphere and the food is simply tasty I would definitely come back and recommend this place to anyone looking to have a delicious true Mexican meal.

I have eaten here 5 times in the last 2 weeks and still want to go back! Take their warnings on the hot sauce - if they suggest some on the side rather than in it.... best to do that and then build up to it. The Cheeseburger - AWESOME! Super friendly staff and owners - always room, give them a try - you will not be disappointed.

Simple food that is absolutely delicious! Colorful atmosphere with lots to look at. Lovely owner and cook. Someone is lucky to have her as a Grandma!

First time here, we had three of the entres and they were all good. Probably the best authentic Mexican food in Red Deer. The margaritas are also excellent, no ice just great taste. The staff are friendly and helpful.

Family run business, very good (taste and quantity) food.

Probably the best burger in red deer and everything on the menu is good home cooked food never disappoints and prices are very reasonable

Really nice place, food is great and I actually got enough to eat. 7/10 spice was about 5 too high just so you know.

While my family and I were in town from Edmonton we decided to try this place. I m going to be honest I was very disappointed as it was rated 4.7 stars. To start the food did not taste fresh and not at all an authentic Mexican restaurant menu. A few of our plates tasted like it was microwaved. Also how do you run out of pupusas?! Aren t they made to order at a restaurant ? If you re looking for authentic this is not the place.

I love coming here, so does my Chilean wife!

This place was incredibly disappointing. The food lacked flavor and was disappointingly bland. Their hard taco beef had more of a Western-style flavor than the authentic Mexican taste I was expecting. The beans I ordered were terribly dry, and their rice resembled more of a Chinese restaurants fried rice rather than the traditional Mexican rice. If youre looking for genuine, authentic Mexican cuisine, this is definitely not the place to go

I was very disappointed with my last experience at Jose Jose. A friend and I decided to eat there and the lady in charge was alone and running the entire restaurant including waiting on and cooking. We asked her if we were able to still eat as it was closed in 35 minutes. She said yes and seated us. She took our order and made us our food which was awesome and delicious! Then when we were have way done our meals she asked us to hurry and finish eating because she needed to leave and close the restaurant. We had asked her before hand if there was enough time to eat and not rush and she said yes but in hindsight I guess all she wanted was our money and didnt care about quality customer service. Not sure Ill be going back any time soon which is a shame.

I dont have my first menu option I had to ask for something else

First time it was good we will be back

Dont pass on the beans and rice!

Worst Mexican food I have ever had, sorry

Great food..we will come back again.

Mmmmmmm........

Such a fun place with amazing food! The chrispy burrito is our favorite!

A great place to enjoy Homemade food. The burrito and rice and bean dish was more than enough.

Authentic and high quality food. Fantastic service, generous portions and fair prices! Thanks for the amazing meal!

Amazing experience! The food was perfect, and it tasted like home! The service was also a great surprise! It is highly recommend!

Very good food and service and price

The most delicious Mexican food! The prices are great, the service is good, and we will definitely go back.

Worst Latin food Ive ever had in my life. If you read this and still choose to eat here then you are a special kind of stupid.

The breakfast we had there was awesome along with the service. Our waitress was great.

We are so glad that we tried Jose Jose while passing through Red Deer. Everything is made from scratch and the woman who runs it takes a lot of pride in the food that she makes. And almost everything on the menu is less than $15. My family manages egg, peanut, and garlic allergies and, because everything is made from scratch, she was able to confirm that pretty much everything on the menu is safe for us. We had so many options and it was all delicious! We will definitely be back on our next trip through Red Deer!

Sat down had to ask for table to be wiped down. Ordered a fajita was quite surprised there was no onions or peppers. Food

A wonderful canteen, the food was full of flavor and very filling. Food

Im not sure what authentic Latin food tastes like, but I bet its this. Its so good! I go everytime Im in Red Deer.

Amazing authentic food, super nice people. Will absolutely be back!

Good enchiladas!

Amazing local restaurant!

Three of us went here for lunch and none of us liked at all

Great food, great owners, great pricing

These owners are so kind and the food is made with love

Awesome little whole in the wall Latin restaurant. Had the hard shell tacos and they were awesome. The 1-10 spiciness range seems to be based on a volume of what goes into it the food. So 1 or 2 could still wind up being quite spicy. However if youre not a regular they typically give it to you on the side so that you can add your own to taste.

Fantastic King Enchiladas Entree. Beefy, cheesy, creamy goodness. With sides of sour cream and guacamole. I love the authentic mexican spice, very flavourful and very spicy the way I like it... makes my nose run. Generous portions. Prices are excellent. Owner is very friendly and a wonderful cook. Best local authentic Mexican restaurant - I will be returning to for sure. Highly recommend this place! Excellent food, service, and prices!

Really great place for food and I love the decor in the restaurant.

Food is served HOT!! Great service, great food and a very cozy atmosphere.

The atmosphere is great and the food is even better. Good coffee too.

Fantastically delicious. Huge servings mean another meals worth to save for later!

This is such a great little restaurant. The portion sizes are large for the amount they charge. The atmosphere is very homely and the flavors are great too. Highly recommend

mmmmm...mmmmmm....so good. taste takes me right back to mexico.

Just went back after some of the restrictions have been lifted. Had a great meal for four of us- everything was quick, hot, and fresh, and great interactions with the owners.

We were pleasant greeted by the owner and he explained all the dishes. The food arrived hot, plentiful and delicious. My son had the rack of ribs, my wife had a beef burrito and I had a beef fajita. Every thing came with a generous helping of rice and refried beans. I tried the spicy salsa which was very hot but delicious ( use sparingly). We definitely return to Jose Jose

Authentic food

Excellent and authentic latin food in a cool setting. Great prices too.

Food was decent. Authentic Mexican cuisine. Spice levels are 1-10 I had a 6 and it was crazy hot. Give it go! Have a Corona. If your not vaccinated and not allowed on airplanes you will feel like youre downtown Puerta Vallarta.

Jose Jose is family run and operated, and is one of the most wholesome dining experiences out there. The staff are so kind and really want their guests to have a great experience. The interior decor is charming and full of things to look at/conversate about while waiting for your main. Portions are large and prices are very fair. Everything is homemade and fantastic. Im thinking about Enchillada King as I write this; just make sure to get some spice on the side, youre not as tough as you think! This is also a really quirky and fun place for a date, something to consider! If youre in the Red Deer area and havent been yet, what are you waiting for?

We went to Jose Jose and had the Burrito Super with rice and beans. It was great tasting and excellent value for under $15. The atmosphere is amazing and service was excellent. We would definitely go back and recommend people to check it out.

The lady that runs the show was amazing! And the food was even better. Highly recommend. Ill be going back time after time. Small family business. Rather support local then some big corporation.

Best food. Eat here at least once a week

Excellent food with that homemade touch that makes you remember your country.

Authentic Mexican food! Good portions and very good customer service!

I absolutely love this place. The food is always amazing...portions are huge and the prices are excellent. Love the owners, such great people too!

Perfect meal all the time.

I just love this place. Thats all

Hidden gem you must try. We went with our two little girls and were impressed by the lovely, authentic Mexican experience. Great food, great price. Best authentic Mexican you will find in Central Alberta.

Most authentic home cooked Latin food in Red Deer.

Awesome food! Very authentic, big portion and good value. Please keep up the good work :)

Amazing food, will be the place we stop at everytime were in red deer.

Delicious and very reasonably priced. The lady who served us was very friendly as well

I am absolutely so impressed with this restaurant! The food is amazing! The service is above and beyond! The atmosphere is perfect! The music makes me dance . Incredible value and a must return location! On a scale of 1 to 10 I give this place an 11 We have been back several times now! Definitely a must! Parking: Free parking!

The service was very good, as was the food. It was what I would refer to as comfort food. The beans on the side were very good!

Excellent!

Wow!!! What an experience!! The resturant is perfect, service is 10/10 and food is so Delicious!!!! And it says alot because I am usually really picky!!! The waitress was so friendly!! I am a vegetarian and the waitress made my dishes with no meat!! Amazing service and the prices are super reasonable!! Only wish is for them to come to calgary!! Too good not to be busy!!

Loved going to this little hidden gem. I loved the authentic south American food. I had the hard taco and had a level 8 spice. Did feel good and the heat was perfect for a hot fan like myself

Went there for dinner.

Service and food was authentic and excellent, will definitely be going back.

Great customer service, attends to you really fast. Ordered the Burrito super and it was amazing! Really, really good food at great prices, highly recommend!

Ive had the privilege of eating the owners food since I was a little girl, long before she opened her restaurant. Whenever were passing through Red Deer my husband and I make sure to stop by for a meal. I absolutely love the pupusas! Highly recommend!

Service, Taste, Quality, Portions... THIS RESTAURANT IS INCREDIBLE.

Excellent food great atmosphere. When asked my spice level I guessed a 6 my server gave me a 3 with some on the side witch was perfect. Would highly recommend this place

Typically my goto Mexican restaurant is Las Palmeras in Red Deer however I ended up trying Jose Jose this Labor Day long weekend and was blown away by the food there. The decor was kinda tacky but really fit the setting. The beef burrito was amazing! Will definitely be back!

Best Mexican food

Best Mexican in Red Deer!

Little restaurant tucked away in an unassuming spot. Step through the door into an incredible experience from the decor to the food and service. Excellent meals, not expensive by any means and super friendly service. Well be back! (7 is hot. Youll find out what I mean!) Just got back from another great visit. Take out is a great idea too.

Went there with a friend, the service was great and the foremost thing is the food, its awesome

Expect to pay $1 rice and $1 beans

The best hidden GEM in Red Deer!! Delicious and authentic Mexican food. The owners/ operators are wonderful people. Prices are very decent and the decor has endless things to look at

Home cooked goodness. This place is a Fiesta for your senses.

Wow. My old review below is from 10 years ago. Due to the food inflation, Im guessing, the portion size has suddenly shrunken A LOT. Still decent food and service, but sadly much smaller portions now. Probably most people will be full enough on most dishes but they used to be huge and we always had leftovers to take home before. 12 oz steak on the menu is probably about 4 oz, maybe 6 at best. Couldnt help but feel a bit cheated. Plus mysterious extra charge showed up and asked what that was for. He had given us a choice of rice and beans, or fries with a dish. He said it was because we picked the rice and beans (which had always been included). --- Great service, authentic Latin food. It is a little tucked away in a strip mall behind Fas Gas but inside is nice and clean. Great service, yummy food. Price is pretty good too and we were stuffed after. They make everything from scratch including fries and you can tell the difference it makes. Their fruit smoothies were also delicious. Its now one of my favorite restaurants in town.

Great Central American food!

Food was great, Enchiladas are delicious, The lovely lady who served us was great pretty sure she also cooked our meal, music was great. we will be back! Thanks! Vegetarian options: Saw vegetarian options on menu

Incredible food, generous portions.

The atmosphere and the owner is amazing feels like your in Mexico... you must come try and support local so good enchilada king and queen... highly recommend

Friendly, efficient service. Quality food. Interesting,clean atmosphere to enjoy your meal in.

Delicious food and wonderful service

My daughter and I wanted to try something local. Jose Jose is what we chose; made a good choice because the service and food were excellent!! Definitely going to be eating there again!

Fantastic enchilada king entree. Beefy, cheesy, creamy goodness. With sides of sour cream and guacamole. I love mexican spice, I went with a level 7 when asked out of 10. It was very flavourful and very spicy the way I like it... makes my nose run . Really enjoyed the authentic flavours. Huge delicious portions. Prices are excellent. Owner is very friendly and a great cook. Cannot wait for them to offer strawberry margaritas again, I did enjoy a lovely glass of wine with my lunch. I have certainly found a local Mexican restaurant I will be returning to for sure. Excellent food. and service.

Very good meal

Amazing atmosphere and home made food!

Went to share sons birthday dinner with family. Quaint, very hospitable and welcoming. Good portions, lots of food with lots of flavor. Very comfortable, enjoyed the evening .

Corrina and Jose are amazing. Top notch authentic Mexican and Latin cuisine! Please support local businesses but especially Jose Jose. I have never had a bad meal or experience. Huge portions of fresh homemade goodness! Please try. If you have a problem Corrina will fix it. Do not challenge her on the spice! as spicy as you can take it. Everyone I have taken there loved it. My own father would walk by me, not say a word, and go order before he even spoke to me. My uncle will not go through Red Deer without stopping there. I think he comes for the food and then spends some pity time with me. Please support local, independent, business

Nice little place, had to get it to go because of covid, but the food was amazing, the people were very friendly and is a nice local place to get great food. Would visit again.

Awesome people, amazing food at great prices

Good food here with some of the best refried beans anywhere.

Quick and friendly service, amazing quality food and great prices. Highly recommend and would go again.

Fun interior and delicious food

THE BEST LATIN FOOD IVE EVER HAD IN ALL OF ALBERTA, from Edmonton to Calgary to Red Deer I am beyond impressed!! So authentic, delicious, and the portion sizes are spectacular. Please go out and support mom and pop shops like these!

The most authentic South American cuisine I ve had, having been to many different restaurants in Edmonton and Calgary that serve very white-washed dishes, come here if you want a taste of their actual local cooking.

Absolutely fantastic atmosphere and food! Enchiladas and refried beans were both some of the best Ive ever had

Very authentic El Salvadorian resto- the food was unreal! The same family is cooking and serving and they are warm from the beginning. It s like being in their home! I highly recommend this experience !!

Best burritos in town

Have enjoyed eating here many times. My favorite place in Red Deer great food and great hosts.

Excellent food. Delightful atmosphere. Wonderful service.

Food was amazing. Portions large and they can make it as spicy as you want - beware! We had the burrito and the Beef enchiladas so so good.

Stopped in for the first time on trip back home to Calgary. Best authentic Mexican food in Alberta, hands down!. Burrito is mucho tasty and the portion is massive. The owners are super friendly and make you feel at home. Make sure to order the refried beans and rice for your side - top notch. Extremely good value and quality. Thank you Jose Jose owners!

Great little restaurant!

Loved it so yummy huge fan of the rice

The lady working here is nice and obviously trying her best. So thanks ro her. We came to this place because of the reviews but honestly it is not at all worth it. The food is extra ordinary.

Quality, atmosphere, portion size, price. And a most endearing hostess!

Amazing food. Great prices. You can tell they put love into their meals when you taste it. Its almost like your own mother is Latina and shes making you food that brings you home. Definitely a gem of Red Deer. Give these people business. Theyre definitely a great staple of Red Deer. I will be coming back tomorrow for sure. Just simply amazing. Very satisfied.

Im not even half way through my meal and I had to stop and drop a review. Ive been dropping into Jose Jose once in a while since they opened and they never disappoint. The Enchildas Queen is straight up amazing and Yes, you can get a plate like this in Mexico, El Salvador, Guatemala, etc. Different Regions = Different ways the dishes are presented. The owners are friendly and personable, they cook and serve up the food and they are very kind people. You can tell they put a lot of pride into their food and restaurant. See you next week guys!

Amazing food, amazing service, amazing atmosphere. Will always love this place.

The food is fantastic and it is always a joy to practice my Spanish with the owners - especially the cook - good food and lots of laughter. What can be better.

So I went for the pupusas (which were awesome) but the beans that were an option blew me away! Highly recommend checking this place out.

Only recently discovered this delightful little Mexican Mom n Pop restaurant on Red Deers north side, so only been there 3 times, but each time has been superb! Food is excellent! Service is famoso! Atmosphere is VERY Mexicano! And the prices are very reasonable. 5 stars for sure! Sénor Del Norté

What a hidden gem! The enchiladas are the best I have ever had. Love that you can choose your hot sauce level from 1-10. I got the #8 and it was amazing. We also got the empanada and it had the most tasty corn bread batter ever. This was a truly a treat, and a new found favorite. Very authentic. The owner is so endearing. You can tell there s love and care put into every dish. The ambiance was also great and we felt like we were actually on a mini holiday right here in Red Deer. La comida aquí es la mejor!

Excellent friendly staff, the food is the best Latin cousine in Red Deer probably all of Central Alberta for sure. The pricing is very reasonable. Family run business, Highly recommend

The best Mexican food Ive ever had!!!

Best latin restaurant in town. Everytime we go there, it feels like home!!! Best food, best value! Period!

Very authentic decor and music plus the food was delicious. I had the king enchilada. Almost made me forgot I was in Red Deer and was actually in South America.

Delicious food and great service

Great authentic food and great service

Very great food and great portions. Nice and authentic with very good flavors! Very cool interior with lots to check out and really cool paintings on the wall. The staff were super friendly and made sure we were taken care of and everything was really positive. Please visit this local restaurant.

Great food, and staff were really fin to talk too. Food is very very flavorful, even when you get them to make it spicy. Be careful not to make it too spicy, but either way tons of flavor, and it is a good spice. Eaten at alot of Mexican places in Calgary and red deer and I would say this is in the to 10%. Lastly bang for the buck is really great you will easily get 2 meals out of most of their dishes. Highly suggest you check it out.

Very authentic little spot. Food was delicious and the staff was very friendly. Can t wait to return to try a couple more things.

The staff here is always extremely friendly, and the food is always amazing!

Great food. Gracious hostess, very cosy authentic atmosphere.

Good food, great people

Great little place
