Jose's Taco Shop - Glen Avon

There is something rustic nostalgic about Jose's Mexican food at te same time you will also find a uniqueness in the flavors created here. Full disclosure: I do food photography for Jose's Mexican Food I've visited all of them! You may think my review is biased. Understand that even though I have an estimated 200 customers around the country, I have only taken the time to write reviews for a select few on Yelp...few move me to praise. In my line of work as a food photographer it is natural that I would have a hands on experience that I try most, if not all, menu items. I can honestly say that each of Jose's locations has the highest level of cleanliness. In fact, my family eats here we are not from the Riverside area. Food wise, you start with the unlimited chips salsa bar. They offer a variety of delicious salas! The tacos are the best you have many meat options. The fajitas are topped with a generous dollop of their chipotle flavored cream. They grill their carne asada over an open flame to give it a personal flare, they brush the meat with some type of tomato-based salsa that elevates the flavor. The pinto beans are simply perfection. I've also come to know their staff everyone is welcoming. While speaking to shift management, I've come to learn that some of the employees, actually a lot of their employees, have been with Jose's for decades! They all said the same thing again again... the ownership is keen on integrity. They treat staff like family provide the community an authentic home-cooked meal.

Surprisingly excellent! A definite must-visit in the area. The salsas were above average, and the staff was very attentive. You order at the counter and find your own seating.

I've been here quite a few times before. My go to is typically the chipotle fajitas, super flavorful. This time I went with a carne asada wet burrito and it made my day. I was craving a meaty delicious meal and it was perfection. Service was good family friendly, as well. Unlimited chips and salsa, too. You cannot go wrong. 10/10.

What an absolutely delightful find!! Stumbled upon Jose 's after exiting the 60 freeway. First I saw one fast food restaurant...and then another. And then, there was Jose 's!!! Very unassuming spot with a posted $6.99 breakfast special that was calling my name. As I entered this cute spot, I was extended a warm greeting by the two young ladies behind the counter. I noticed a generous salsa bar and their rather extensive menu. I placed my breakfast special order and requested that my eggs be scrambled very well. I was then handed a bag and invited to help myself to the salsa bar. Boy, DID I!!! I first tasted a salsa verde that knocked my socks off! As I went down the line, I was tempted to just park there and stuff myself. By the time they called me to grab my order, I 'd gone through each salsa and packaged a generous amount for my takeout order. By the way, even the patrons were friendly. I very much got a family vibe while I was there. About the food!!! First thing I noticed was that my eggs were scrambled VERY well. I mean EXACTLY the way I love them. First time I have requested this from any establishment that nailed it! HAPPY DANCE !! The pancakes were thick yet light and tasty and the bacon was doing everything that bacon is supposed to do. Although I live 45 miles away, I plan to return to Jose 's whenever I 'm in the area. I can 't wait to try some of their other menu items. Not only that, I have already highly recommended them to my Fontana relatives. What are you waiting for? RUUNNNNNNN! Don 't walk to Jose 's!!!!

One of the standout features is the salsa bar, which includes several different options and complimentary chips that are refillable. The food is enjoyable—while I wouldn't classify it as authentic, it does have a taste reminiscent of chain restaurants. I have no complaints; the food is why I keep returning, even though nothing has truly amazed me yet. The restaurant itself is very clean, and the staff is both attentive and friendly. Orders are prepared quickly and served hot. I definitely recommend giving this place a try, especially since they have a wide range of menu options.
