| - A relocated "Ole Jose" (from less than two miles away), this location isn't as easy to locate, but the food remains consistently good. The extended family owns at least two other Mexican restaurants, and they all share a similar menu. (Chippewa's El Paso is our favorite, so far.)
Being from California, we have a different idea of "Mex" than many locals. I'd love to swap out the "crispy" taco shells, for example, for "real tacos" with soft corn tortillas. But, overall, the food stands above the larger chains is the next best thing to home.
I had the "Grande" meal to sample a bit of everything. The relleno is excellent, and the rice and beans are much better than the nearby chains (Don Pablo, Mad Mex). The enchilada was okay, not spectacular. I love the salsa, which has a nice roasted taste.
We'll return and I'll try to pay more attention to details. While not a "wow" experience, it was good; it's simple and a better meal than most other Mex places in the region.
The prices are a value.
