I remember when they opened the very first Don Jose's restaurant in Orange. It was just a big open room with a lot of tables in it. Have they ever grown. They now call that store in Orange Ricardo's now but it's part of the Don Jose's chain and features the exact same menu. There are a number of Don Jose restaurants all over Orange County and they all offer the same food and great service. Although not really authentic Mexican food, the food at Don Jose's is consistently good. Their lunch specials are priced great and meals are served very promptly so I'd definitely recommend it for a nice lunch during the work week. Prices overall anytime are very affordable. I enjoy their enchiladas, tostada supreme salad, fajita salad and steak fajitas.. All delightful. And, I can't fail to mention their addicting tortilla chips and salsa that they serve upon your arrival. Very good! The staff is always very friendly and efficient. And, you will not leave hungry. If you haven't tried Don Jose's I'd definitely recommend you give it a try.
