Tuesday morning, Mr. Jose Mexican Cuisine announced on social media it would hold a soft opening that day at noon.
The new restaurant offered free meals to first responders and complimentary margarita samples to all patrons who visited that day.
Owned by the same folks who own El Patron in Collinsville, Mr. Jose is located at 478 Sadler Road in Whitesboro.
The restaurant features Tex-Mex cuisine of food that is made from scratch using time-honored recipes and fresh, locally-sourced ingredients. It also offers a cozy cantina with a drink menu that includes signature margaritas.
Like El Patron, Mr. Jose also has an outdoor patio with lightig, turf and cornhole boards.
A casual, family-friendly, dine-in restaurant, Mr. Jose’s arrival has been highly anticipated since its first announcement last year.
After Tuesday’s soft opening, the restaurant will officially be open full-time. While hours have not yet been posted, wait staff said they expect it to be open daily from 11 a.m.-9 p.m.
