I was surprised to find a great place for tacos in Morgan City, LA. The taco Tuesday menu is solid. Had the birria, carnitas, and al pastor tacos. I enjoyed them immensely. Went back and tried a honey Chipotle chicken bowl and that was very good too.

There are three hotels nearby. I didn’t know there was such an excellent Mexican restaurant hidden in the alley. It is still crowded on weekday nights on Wednesdays. Some locals even bring their children to dine here. You can see their faces from the cocktails. I have enough strength, and the lightest dish I ordered was very good, not greasy or greasy, and I didn’t feel burdened after eating it. This is amazing.

We go here often and it never really disappoints. One of my favorite dishes is the seafood fajitas which is pictured. There's plenty of seafood in the dish and it's delicious. You cold easily share it with another person. Margaritas are also good here, especially the top shelf margaritas.

I had the Spicy Mango Salmon. Food was delicious. I usually have doubts when ordering anything with mango because the mango is usually not ripe. That was not the case here. Mango was ripe and delicious. The dressing was the right amount of spice and heat. The salmon was nice, flakey and flavorful. I ended up drizzling some dressing on it and eating it with the salad. It was the perfect compliment. Service was a little slow but we were patient with nothing to be rushing for. We found ourselves waiting for our ticket after eating for awhile. Could use improvement but that definitely won't stop me from going back again. 👌🏻

There was an extremely long wait but it was after a dance recital and a Saturday night, which could have contributed to the wait time but the management provided us with free appetizers as appreciation for our party having to wait so long. Once seated, the service was great.

This was our first time eating at Don Jose's Grill. It was a great experience. We were greeted at the door and seated immediately. Chips and salsa followed close behind. Salsa and queso was a good combination to our chips. Our server, Carlos, was knowledgeable about menu choices and was attentive to the table. Patrons were friendly and the atmosphere was nice. Our drink order was taken and they came out a few minutes later. Mango daiquiri was potent, but good. Dos Equis Amber beer was a welcomed change from Michelob Ultra. Our dinner order was taken soon after. Street Corn as an appetizer. Our entrees was very good and filling. We will be returning soon for another dinner date.
