Enjoy Excellent true Mexican food in the Phoenix area
Excellent true Mexican food. We stumbled onto Don Jose while in the Phoenix area for Spring Training. Last time I was in the area, I drove from Scottsdale to Sun City to eat here. Always a stop when we're anywhere in the
Phoenix area.
I will be back, I ordered the bacon, potato, egg, and hash brown breakfast burrito and I'm loving it! The owner is hilarious and loves his shop.
This place is a hole in the wall in a strip mall. It doesn't look like much outside but it belies the delicious Mexican fare from the kitchen.
The inside is a throwback in time with tulip and rose patterned vinyl chairs, circa 1960. I almost expected the food to be served on vintage Melmac.
Everyone orders at the counter, finds their own seats and then waits until the delicious smells waft from the kitchen.
We both ordered the chicken chimichanga. When it arrived, it was HHUUGGEEEE. Wow! It was the largest chimi I have ever seen (and I've seen a lot).
It was stuffed to the max with tender, moist chicken, beans and cheese and fried to a beautiful golden crispy brown with guacamole, sour cream and cheese on top. There is also a small salsa bar.
Mexican paraphernalia decorates the walls while neon signs in the windows advertise Miller Lite, Modelo and Miller Genuine Draft beers.
Great food, prices a bit high though and masks were not worn by the only employee with whom we interacted.
