The standard Tex Mex plates are on, Enchiladas come in a few different options, Quesadillas and Burritos as well.  The Don Cesar burrito is the signature dish and is a 10″ burrito stuffed with grilled chicken, Mexican sausage, rice, beans and topped with cheese and pico de gallo.  Tacos are served more like dishes, with rice, pico de gallo and beans.  Don Cesar is not a quick take out type of spot and the menu items are all served such as plates and platters.  Meat dishes are available as well including the San Jose Special which is a Sizzling thinly sliced ribeye, chicken and shrimp dish served over a bed of sauteed onions with rice, beans, lettuce, tomatoes and sour cream.
