Review from Brian K.

Updated - 10/14/2011
I'm updating my review to add a bit of additional insight after recent trips.
1) The staff is awesome. Absolutely the best service in town.
2) The location is wonderful. Very attractive inside, great view of the lake.
3) The food hovers around mediocre, usually coming up beneath it. EXCEPT...
4) That only applies to what would normally be considered Mexican Restaurant staples. Tacos, enchiladas, tamales (where you can get 'em), chile relleno, that sort of food is on the lower end of middling at Don Jose's. BUT if you spend an extra few dollars their steaks, seafood (particularly shrimp) and specialty dishes are actually extremely good.
So, by all means go and order off the slightly more pricey portion of the menu, it makes the difference between a "meh" experience and a great one.1 Previous Review: Show all »

It's possible I've been here on off days, but I've never found the food to be either authentic or… Read more »

About the only viable choice in Sebring for Mexican style food and fortunately, it comes out better than average.
Tasty food, nicely sized portions, good service, margaritas that taste good and accetable ambiance: both inside and out.
Nice deck overlooking the lake--screened and roofed=very pleasant in the evenings. -

Traveling for business in Sebring and found this place on Yelp. Only ate here once but it seemed like a nice place. We were initially seated inside and it was very loud, but we asked to sit outside and it was great.(the great weather in Florida helped!)
Apparently they have two for one drinks since everyone who ordered one mysteriously got two... which we did not refuse.
The food was good. Appropriately sized portions and reasonable prices although I wouldn't say cheap.
If I was in the area and wanted some mexican food I would definitely consider this place again. -

If you are looking for Mexican, this is the place for you. When I grew up in Sebring our local Mexican restaurant was Taco Bell.
I moved away after high school and lived in Houston which has some of the best Mexican/TexMex food available. But Don Jose has filled a void there with great food, great margaritas and excellent chips & salsa.
Looking forward to going back and would recommend it to anyone who asked. -

We ran into this place by accident one day while on a motorcycle ride from Miami and now we make special trips up there just for the food. We strolled in one day with a group of 20 (we had called ahead) and nothing phases these people. They said "20 people okay no problem" . The service was speedy and efficient, never an empty glass or basket of chips. Once the food arrived it was delicious and they got everyones order correct. They also didn't mind splitting checks.
We sat outside and there was a nice breeze, the back patio was enclosed with screen mesh to keep the bugs out. It seems to be a popular place for the locals, it filled up pretty quick after we had gotten there. -

Best Mexican I've found in Sebring. Authentic cooking and staff. Great chips and salsa... and freshly cut jalapenos are in their dishes.
They have beer specials pretty much the whole day - two for $3 drafts etc.
They have a large outdoor patio that overlooks the lake, as well as a large dining area and a somewhat-separated bar. -

I was looking for some really good Mexican food and had heard good things about Don Jose.... however my experience was anything but good "awful" was more like it!!!!!!! The chips they served me were stale so when I asked for more they were the same. I could not find my waiter I only seen him 2 times when he took my order and when I got the check I had to ask for that 3 times) The service was really bad and the food quality& quantity was just not worth the prices....

service wasnt the best but food was ample and priced right. Nice outdoor area in back with view of Lake Jackson. Two for one drinks made everything taste better but the food was good

Rode up from Fort Myers with friends after finding on Yelp. Lived up to the reviews. Have a hankering for Mexican and in the area give it a try. I'd do it again.
