We have been going to Playa Blanca for a number of years and we had, without doubt, the worst meal EVER at Casa Jose. We have avoided the place in the past as it has always seemed empty, but this year there were a few more people eating whenever we passed so we decided to give it a try –... More

My friend and I visited Case Jose and had the worst meal and service ever. We were told about a 3 fish dish special with no price quoted, which we declined. My friend ordered lasagne, only to be told it was off that day! and 1 goat stew, something I was looking forward to as I had never eaten goat.... More

It was a wet and windy night and as we got out of the car we spottes Casa Jose across the road. It looked Ok and seemed to be busy. We ordered two starters, two mains and a bottle of house wine. The wine and bread arrived quckly. We then waited, and. waited about 40 minutes. A waiter then arrived... More

If you want the real Spanish food experience with an only Spanish speaking waiter go here. Wonderful freshly grilled local fish, veggies and great homemade desserts. The local pub area is full off locals and the kids can walk around. Lovely!

I read the notice in the window about the family origins of this restaurant and decided to give it a try in the evening. We took our seat and ordered drinks. The noise from the back was a bit strange - I thought it was the sound of arguements in the kitchen - but it was from a bar area... More

Casa Jose is a family run restaurant awat from the tourist attractions on the sea front of the popular resort of Playa Blanca. The restaurant is quiet and peaceful. We had a delicious fish meal one evening. The fish was locally caught and cooked fresh. It was a delightful experience. We returned a few days later to sample the tapas... More

i guess we should have been forewarned by only two table occupied on a Saturday evening, but we read the notes outside about carrying on the family tradition and decided to give it a try. The waiter was pretty friendly but difficult to understand each other despite my pointing to grilled rather than fried squid several times! The squid was... More

Lunch menu might be sometime overcooked as the fish my hubby got. I had grilled fish from the normal menu and it was great. I would give to the resto a second chance since all really depends on the dishes you chose. Nice coffee.

Casa Jose is not geared just for the tourist. It has a mixture of locals and holiday makers eating here. It is not a restaurant you would immediately pick out which is partially due to its location near the church. It it not generally very busy but trade seems steady. Having said at that all aspects of our evening here... More

We stopped for lunch - just tapas and some wine, but this Canarian restaurant was a real disappointment. Several thing we asked for were not available, though they were on the menu; no potaje, no avocados, no garbanzos.....the list went on. The half litre of Canarian house wine was very sub-standard and full of sediment. The waiter was surly and... More
