- Jose was born on, May 29 1991, in Tehuixtla, Morelos, Mexico to Luis Mena-Torres and Evangelina Garcia de Mena (Peralta) who immigrated to the USA and raised him and his two brothers in Las Vegas, Nevada.
As a young boy while he wasn't a bad student he would always have a hard time focusing when the topics weren't about his true love, movies. Like all the 90s kids he grew up watching all the amazing work of Disney but it wasn't until he saw Jurassic Park and later on Titanic that he knew he one day wanted to be part of this magical business.
After graduating high school in 2009 he was accepted into UNLV's film program but couldn't go due to money issues and the bad economy during that year so sadly his dream seemed to have been lost.
But in 2018 after watching many more amazing movies by his favorite actors he decided to pursue his dream again and began to train at 1Media Productions with Frank Parrillo, Dan Hewitt Owens, and Tim Colceri.
Jose also loves to write and is now finally on his path to one day becoming a great actor, writer and director.- IMDb Mini Biography By: Jose Mena-Garcia

- On religion, there's a lot of mystery behind it that's for sure. I can put up a good argument why it's legit but also why it's false. In the end I do believe in a divine force that made all this happen, we simply aren't getting the whole story straight.
- On why he doesn't drink: I've actually tried all kinds of beers, wines, whiskeys, tequilas, and everything else but I just can't do it, I can't stand the taste. I don't have the tongue for it.
- On learning English; I remember one day I was taken to the office and I thought I was in trouble but they just wanted to ask me how I was learning English so fast. I guess the teacher thought she had a lot to do with it but when I said that I learned it through The Simpsons, Pokémon, Digimon, X-Men, Gargoyles, Power Rangers, and other shows she lost it and yelled at me in disbelief that I learned it that way. One of my favorite memories of my life.
- Dogs are cool but, there's just something about cats that have always made me like them more. Cats rule!
- Dr Pepper and Root Beer, truly the drink of the Gods.
