Don Jose Mexican Food sits at 3734 E. Thomas Rd, Phoenix, AZ 85018 — right on the edge of Arcadia, one of Phoenix's best-loved neighborhoods. We've been cooking here since 1966, long before the citrus groves gave way to the homes and patios the area is known for today.
A Neighborhood Spot for Three Generations
Many of our Arcadia regulars first came in with their parents, and now bring their own kids. The recipes have stayed the same: Sonoran-style flour tortillas, red and green chile, and the cheese crisps that became our signature. It's the kind of place you stop by after school pickup, before a game, or for a weekend plate of menudo or pozole.

- Famous Cheese Crisps — the Phoenix classic, made our way since 1966
