I've been visiting this place occasionally for years and have grown to love this interesting little place, which has a bar on one side and a little eating area with a stand you can order from on the other. In fact I stop in here now and again when I want to grab a drink specifically because they're a Mexican restaurant/bar combination, not just an eatery.\n\nDrink-wise, I've never had a bad experience. They make ok Long Island's (not the best admittedly) and extremely good, strong margaritas that are hard to top elsewhere. The bartenders are always extremely nice and have actually made some really good impromptu drinks on the spot for me when ingredients for my favorite beverages run out. So drink-wise, these guys win in my book.\n\nAs for the food, while it's not exactly out of this world spectacular it's honestly really good considering the fact that I'm just looking for something to eat as I enjoy my drink. I look at the options as bar food, and by that standard things here are really quite good. You can't go wrong with chips and salsa, and their beef quesadilla's are honestly quite good as well - I ordered one last night and couldn't get enough of it. (By the way, these guys are one of the only places where their quesadilla's come with mushrooms - that's a big plus in my book!) I've had the Mexican dessert as well and really, really enjoyed that. Honestly my only complaint about Jose & Tony's is that they don't offer smaller portions for late night snackers like myself - I always bring a friend or family member with me so I don't have to eat my entire dish.\n\nYou'll definitely see me stopping in again in the future - here's hoping more people show some love for Jose & Tony's soon!"^^ . .
