| - I've been driving past Jose' Ole since it opened saying, "I'm going to check that place out sometime soon." A good amount of time has passed it wasn't until tonight that I made the plunge with my lovely Yelp/life sidekick and I couldn't be happier that we did. Upon entering I was a little thrown off by their pint-sized hostess, but more than impressed with her ability to seat us. Hostessing doesn't seem like a hard job, but don't tell that to most hostesses in the country. What comes off as a favor from a condescending teen/twenty something instead became what it was meant to be; someone seating us so that we could be served food. If Jose Ole were on Restaurant Stakeout, Willie Deagle would be pointing out that this ten year old girl is ready for upper management.
The good service didn't stop once we were seated. Our server was on top of her game even with it being a good sized dinner rush. The manager also stopped by the table twice throughout our meal to make sure that everything was good.
One problem I have with most Mexican joints is the size of the menu. Being more than indecisive, dozens of options really slows me down and will almost undoubtedly be the reason my upcoming marriage will fall apart. The menu here is even bigger than most. They really could cut over half of it out and be alright. I ordered the Carnitas Chile Colorado and it was love at first bite. Along with the entree you get three tortillas, and after I finished mine off but had more delectable pork left on my plate, our server offered to get me more tortillas. Normally Rikki and I have a hard time keeping quiet when eating, but Jose Ole shut us up for a little bit as we quietly enjoyed our meals.
The food is great here, and they could easily get away with charging another dollar more an entree, but it's really the service that made me give it five stars. I'm rarely this impressed with how people treat their patrons anymore. Jose Ole does it right and that's more than likely how they survive in Robinson, which has more chain restaurants than you can shake a churro at.
