The New Lenox Chamber of Commerce welcomed the new Don Jose’s Cantina & Taqueria to the village last week.

The restaurant is located at 1080 E Lincoln Hwy. in New Lenox.

The Don Jose’s restaurant “seamlessly blends traditional Mexican cuisine with contemporary flair” and features “classic dishes like birria, barbacoa and tacos al pastor, enhanced with creative twists such as Tuna Tartare in Kiwi-Celery Augachile and a nuanced take on Caesar Salad,” according to its website.
