I am so happy to have discovered this place. The service is excellent, the prices not frightful, and the food is very very good. The drinks are reason…

Ate here for lunch today. The food was delicious and they had some tasty beer on tap. Their salsa is highly recommended to anyone who likes cilantro. …

I sure wish I was allowed to give six stars- I haven’t been this blown away by food at a restaurant in a long time. I visited on a Friday night with my girlfriend without reservations- big mistake, it would be almost a two hour wait to get a table unless we were able to find a seat around the bar. Luckily there was a couple who just left the bar and we were able to snag their seats. I would definitely recommend a reservation on any busy night. I’m not sure if it was the busy nature of the night, but the service from our bartender wasn’t the best. We never got chips and salsa, and he was fairly slow to take our orders and refill drinks, but I’ll forgive this based on the amazing food..We started with the Mexican street corn. I’ve never had corn this good! The cheese, cilantro, and mayonaisse spread might sound a little odd but it is great! It’s just cheesy enough and has just enough cilantro flavor to balance the sweetness of the perfectly grilled corn.I ordered the collard wrapped tamales, and they were excellent. The tamales were so tender and the corn was so flavorful. The collard wrap on the outside added an interesting dynamic and was good as well. The cheese, onions, and peppers inside were great; I would’ve possibly liked some meat, but they were still awesome. The dish came with a side of kale and black beans, and I can’t believe how much my girlfriend and I loved both. The black beans were spiced perfectly, and the kale was even better. The dressing and seasoning on the kale added incredible flavor, and I didn’t know kale could taste this good!My girlfriend got the enchiladas del mar, and despite my food being great, these enchiladas stole the show. We both agreed they were the best thing we’ve eaten at any Mexican restaurant. The shrimp and spinach filling was great; the blackened shrimp had great flavor and were cooked just right. The tomatillo cream sauce that the enchiladas were smothered in was what made them amazing. Just the right amount of spice, tomatillo flavor, cheese, and cream. I could drink this sauce by the jar if it were possible. I highly, highly recommend this dish.Despite the slightly below average service on our visit, I can’t give Jose & Sons anything less than 5 stars because all of the food was amazing!I sure wish I was allowed to give six stars- I haven’t been this blown away by food at a restaurant in a long time.

Incredible brunch and really..the best bloody in town.
Food okay…service terrible.. They have some unique dishes, but for the price (and lack of filled tables at the time), the service was quite lacking. We went for brunch and although my waffle was okay with all the yummy toppings, the bottom was burnt. Everyone else in our party seemed to enjoy their meal.
Poor Service. Ok so after talking about this place with my wife for weeks, we finally decided to try it out, took our daughter & friend for a Sunday brunch. The restaurant is well put together, the ambiance was amazing. The music should have been more on the Latin side, since it is a Mexican eatery, but I digress. So we get to the hostess & notice that while my wife was telling her that we were four people looking to be seated, she gave my wife a strange look. I do have to say we were seated really fast, but they were not as busy as people say they get. (20 Mins Later) After some conversations amongst ourselves we notice that no one has come over to our table to see if we needed a drink or even if we were ready to order. What got me over the top was when the waitress passed out table & brought water and took the orders of the people next to us that came in after us. Thinking that she was going to come back and help us next we waited some more. After some more time passed, I got fed up and told my wife that I was ready to go. We got up and just left. My family & I love Sunday brunch, and have enjoyed trying out different places in Raleigh, but if there is one thing I cant tolerate is poor service. If the waitress would have come to our table and said hey we are a little busy or a little backed up, I would have said its cool no problem, but we felt so ignored. Its really too bad, I waited so long to try out this place & now Im just so turned off by it. Thanks you for your wonderful service.
Had a really good dinner here. Our appetizer of pimento cheese and bacon tostones were absolute heaven. My wife’s barbacoa was some of the best braised beef I’ve ever had. My lamb chops were a little light on the meat, but lamb usually is, and the flavor was outstanding. Overall, very impressed with this place.
Best Mexican around. We’ve been here about six times since they reopened. One time our service was slow for our expectations but they seem to have addressed that situation. The food is always spot on and the drinks are great too!. Staff are friendly , knowledgable and attentive.Great decor and atmosphere , should be the epicenter of Raleigh eating
Worth trying. The space is beautiful and the service was great. The waiter was able to make recommendations and explain flavors and methods of cooking. I was disappointed that chips and salsa were not served, as this seems standard at similar restaurants. The presentation and portions are quite good. I ordered the enchiladas del mar (blackened shrimp) and while the dish was good, it lacked salt and flavor, aside from the blackened flavor of the shrimp. I ordered a special Prickly Pear citrus margarita and it was too sour to be enjoyed. I like how the menu here has Southern US influence and next time I would order one of those dishes. I saw the manager visiting most tables, but he did not stop by ours.
