| - This is a tale of two teachers, a married couple, looking for cheap and good Mexican eats the week before their first paycheck since June. They ended up at Jose and Tony's, and they got the cheap part, at least.
The good part, not so much.
Now, I'm known to be a lover of food. I especially like seefood, meaning just about any food I see. I'm also one to give the benefit of the doubt in my Yelp reviews because any restaurant can have a bad night. But for some reason I can't do that for Jose and Tony's. Why, you may ask? Read on, MacDuff.
Question: How does one mess up a Patron Reposado margarita? By using something akin to prestone antifreeze for the mix and taking fifteen minutes to make the damned thing even though there were only 5 people in the whole restaurant. Mystery meat tacos that reeked of meat left one day too long in refrigerator before cooking. Tortilla chips that were stale and partially rancid.
See what I mean? I can't even say "nice..., not thrilling, but nice."
Again, it was cheap. Under $20 for drinks and dinner. I only wish I could have finished any one of the items I ordered without feeling sick to my stomach.
So in summary... in my college days, maybe... juuussst mayyybeee... I would have enjoyed the place, but only because I wouldn't have known any better.
