Chez José

"Friday 12/29/23 Honestly this place just is not good. I had an order of veggie fajitas, beans tasted old, rice was not good, and for some reason they had slices of squash. worst thing was the guacamole and sour cream came in these like 2 oz cups, so like basically i guess as a way to cut costs. so cheesy in my opinion if you are charging $20… also they charge for salsa and chips, it truely was just not a good meal, they give u small cups for water and the waiter was friendly but the food honestly just was not good. I understand this place is popular but as a local guide i feel compelled to give an honest review. my family took me out here so i just won’t be coming back like ever. not good, not tasty, but yes friendly staff"

"I would describe this as Portland's version of tex-mex. For example, I had the butternut squash enchilada plate and there was 10 different tequila's to choose from on the menu. It was very good evening."

"Food is decent. Really the quality I was hoping for from an 18$ chicken and rice bowl. There was a while when I was eating the blackbean soup every day for some reason. The soup is super overpriced for what it is, but it's good. Maybe it's a better experience when you aren't getting takeout. Staff is friendly and professional. Service is quick. Food...could really use more spice. Kinda pricey. Probably a great restaurant if you're a family of 6."

"We are in town for work and a friend brought us here for “the best” Mexican food! Chez Jose did not disappoint! We were greeted immediately and sat with in 5 minutes. The service was good from start to finish. We started with the fresh chips and salsa & a couple of the house cocktails. The server only brought the mild salsa and guac. The salsa was warm and the guac was delicious and fresh. I would definitely recommend the house infused jalapeño tequila blood orange margarita! Our host got the Carne Asada. My husband ordered the Cilantro Chicken rice bowl and I ordered the Chili Colorado ."
