Our Guestbook
“ Friendly bi-lingual service. Excellent food. The michilada is a must try if you love savory, intricate flavor and beer. It's a casual eatery with great food for any budget and good music on a large screen TV. With tables and booths, this cozy eatery has enough seating to comfortably dine in, enjoy a quick drink or two but fast enough to enjoy some music and take out without feeling put out. Located in a plaza there is also plenty of well-lit parking. ”

“ My fajitas were amazing. Ricky the bartender is such a vibe! Me and my sister really enjoyed our drinks. Will definitely be back! ”
“ First of let me start by saying that every negative comment I see on here is such bluff. This place is so underrated. When you first see this place from the outside you ask yourself dang do I really want to go in there? It’s not the ... ”
“ Normally I drive all the way to Buford for decent tacos. I've been trying different places since '94 & El Dey Rey has been my go to spot but I gave Don Jose a chance & I'm pleased & thrilled that I FINALLY found a taco spot in Gwinnett that's up to my standards. DEFINITELY got me as an instant fan & loyal customer. I got my addiction lenga tacos & tamales. (Rojo & Verde)....all three items were delicious. I'll admit, I bit my tongue & inside of my cheek, they were so good. ”
“ Soooo delicious best birria tacos I ever had. Pleasant and friendly environment. ”
“ I just got chips and queso and salsa. Don’t remember it being particularly good or bad. I think the salsa was really good :) but I come for the queso. It’s kind of a hole in the wall place so the crowd wasn’t really diverse and probably attracts more locals. The price was good. ”
