At José's, we are proud to be a true North Cambridge neighborhood restaurant with roots in Mexico. You can see it in our menu. We love introducing our customers to traditional Mexican fare like pozole and sopes, while continuing to offer dishes you've been enjoying for years, local favorites like José's poppers and our barbeque. So, when you visit José's, you can expect a little adventure combined with a little taste of home!

    A fond farewell, José's! A real-estate deal is forcing you to close, but we shall miss you, and hope you'll be able to come back to Cambridge very soon!

    If you look for authentic Mexican cousine at any day coupled with a decent margarita, look no further.

    Joses was a family favorite for many years. We had never had issues with reservations being honored, service being sub par or orders coming out correctly. All of that changed during our last time @ Joses. Sadly, we won't be returning.

    The drinks were good. We came in kind of late but the wait staff did not really give us time to order or communicate the closing of the bar and kitchen.
