José brings a fresh, modern take on regional Mexican cuisine to Dallas’ beloved Lovers/Inwood neighborhood. Inspired by the brilliant and fast-paced culinary scene in Jalisco, the restaurant captures the serendipitous connections created when culture, food, tequila and art merge into one experience. Jose’s vibrant story comes to life at every table through its chef-driven plates, craft cocktails, the ceramics crafted by its renowned namesake, José Noe Suro of Ceramica Suro and the hand-drawn mural adorning the walls with scenes of Guadalajara and Tequila, which was a collaboration between Suro and Dallas-based designer and artist Megan Reinhardt. More than a restaurant, José is a community with authentically innovative Mexican food at its heart. Helmed by award-winning Chef Anastacia Quiñones-Pittman, José’s culinary program is seasonal, inspired and ever evolving.
“José is one of those places that consistently delivers a great overall experience. The atmosphere feels upscale but still comfortable, making it a solid choice whether you’re going for a casual meal or something a little more intentional. The food is fresh, flavorful, and well-executed across the board. From tacos to larger plates, everything feels thoughtfully put together, and the quality shows. The margaritas and drinks are just as good and definitely worth trying. Service has always been attentive, and the vibe—especially if you can grab a spot on the patio—adds to the experience. It’s a great Dallas staple that we’ll continue coming back to.”
“They Raised The Bar Everything about José makes me want to come back for more. - flavor - presentation - staff - portions - prices - atmosphere - music - location - parking I am usually very critical of tex-mex in this area, but I have been left speechless after every meal I’ve tried. My favorites so far are the park city enchiladas, the shrimp tacos, the taco of the week, and the desert I can’t remember that’s basically a creme brûlée.”
“Overall, we had a really great experience. The food was very good, the portions were generous, and the drinks were great as well. I would definitely recommend this restaurant, whether you’re looking for a casual meeting at the bar or a nice lunch or dinner with family. Service was quick, the desserts were good, and they also offer complimentary valet parking. We made our reservation through OpenTable, which was very convenient.”
“We were here for Saturday brunch. Made the reservation ahead through Open table and got there by the time, we were seated right away and were given chips and salsa Salsa tasted great. We ordered Short Rib Enchiladas, Chile Relleno, Cheese Quesadilla & chicken fingers for kids Also ordered Street side corn and Queso Con Rojas Queso was cold by the time we got to table, corn was okay. Short Rib Enchilada were great, Chile relleno were in very watery salsa. Cheese Enchilada and Chicken finger were ok! Fries were pretty good, kids loved them. Overall mixed bag of experience with food, great ambiance”
“I drove about 40 minutes to visit this place, but unfortunately, it was not worth the trip. The tables were not clean, and even the cutlery wrapped in towels had visible dust, which was disappointing. We ordered the Charro Mule and a guava mocktail; both were average and did not stand out. The salsa served with the chips was mixed, while the green salsa was fresh and flavorful, the red salsa was not very good. Our food also took a long time to arrive after ordering. On the positive side, the live music created a pleasant and refreshing atmosphere. The elote was well-prepared and enjoyable. For the main course, we tried a vegetarian quesadilla and chicken enchiladas. The vegetarian quesadilla was good and my wife enjoyed it, but the chicken enchiladas were underwhelming. The shredded chicken filling was quite bland and lacked flavor. Overall, while there were a few highlights, the experience did not justify the long drive.”
