What Rafael Haley likes about Don Jose's Mexican Castro Valley:
We had a great time with our hostess Courtney and our server Sarah who had both come in on their day off to help with a staffing shortage. The food is always great and the drinks are awesome. View all feedback. What Ariane Kreiger doesn't like about Don Jose's Mexican Castro Valley:
The staff is great. The portions are small and the chips are thick unsalted and over cooked. The guacamole is great. Everyone ordered different things and everyone left hungry. Went to mod pizza and shared couple of pizzas View all feedback.
