Don Jose's Mexican Restaurant - Mexican restaurant in Castro Valley - 3430 Village Dr, USA

This was a very expensive mistake. The food was edible only because I was very hungry. I don’t know how they keeps the lights on with food that comes from cans, guessing because they charge like it’s gourmet. For your experience, please go somewhere else until they can change their quality of food. Canned Chip Salsa Canned Vegetables Hidden valley ranch from the bottle Etc.

The food was okay. I expected a better flavor but it was just okay. I was disappointed in the kids taco meal it had a store bought taco shell. Not cool. My Chicken Tostada was okay. Again it didn't have an authentic flavor it was a bit bland and chicken was dry. I added the red salsa to get some flavor. On the other hand The rice & beans were good.. my family liked it lots. On the other hand staff is amazing very helpful. I will be back again to support our local restaurants but I hope the cook does a better job.

This restaurant been in Castro Valley for many years. The foods in this restaurant is decent. I ordered the Combo and each items tasted very good, fried potato skin is a must try. I cannot tell you how friendly and attentive my server was. He is the reason why people enjoy eating out. I enjoyed it and don’t mind tip him heavily, he deserved it.

It was raining that night the hostess seated us right away. Our server came and her name was Courtney. She was very friendly polite and efficient. She has such a great personality.🤗 This place is really🥂 awesome & Courtney is such a great server. Give that girl a raise❗ I used to be a server long ago & people just don't realize how hard they work.👏👏💯

Wow! Absolutely wow! I had Chili Verde, and it was amazing. The other two dishes in pic were Malinche. But the portions were little smaller than Mexican restaurant we normally eat; this is a Bay area though.

We had chicken fajitas and green enchiladas. The food is okay...a little bland if you like traditional flavors, however fantastic service and nice ambience.

Delicious fresh food, great ambiance, friendly staff, clean and well organized.

We were greeted and seated right away. They brought us warm chips with salsa. The chips were ok but the salsa was watered down and didn't have much flavor or anything in it. It was very runny. The drinks were the best thing. I had a margarita. I had a combination plate with a chili relleno, chicken taco, rice and beans. The chili relleno had so much cheese I hardly tasted the chili. I didn't care for the sauce either. The beans and rice were bland. The rice had no onions or Vegetables in it and hardly any taste. The chicken taco had plenty of chicken but that's all. My daughter gave me her guacamole and I put it in the taco for flavor. Nothing was hot or spicy which I like in my Mexican food. If you like mild Mexican food then you'll like it here. My daughter liked her chicken burrito .
