"This could have been so much better. A bunch of small things added up to the result that I don 't expect to come back. First, half a basket of chips that was gone in a few minutes Second, being our first time here, we didn 't know that the salsa was serve yourself, as the waitress didn 't bother to tell us. So, being hungry, we started eating dry chips expecting salsa to show up any second. Then, when the half basket was gone, I had to ask 3 times for some more chips, to go with the salsa we found after seeing someone else carrying some tiny plastic togo type ramekins from the back. (Why tiny plastic throwaway, instead of decent sized salsa bowls? Ordering: No ala carte anything. My friend, who it was her birthday, wanted the tamale plate and a single taco, sorry, no single taco allowed. Really? No, the kitchen will yell at me the waitress said. It 's a mexican joint and you can 't order a single taco, only the 2 taco platter. My order: burrito platter with grilled chicken. menu gives an option of grilled veggies for $3. Onion, peppers and mushrooms. Can I get it minus the mushrooms (since they are not a vegetable anyway and I hate mushrooms ? Nope, all or nothing. I make a joke about burger king where special orders don 't upset them, she doesn 't get it. Food comes while still waiting for more chips that I 'd asked for 3 times. Finally I get up to go to the bar for more chips. It would have been easier to get a decent full basket to begin with. So, the food was just OK, not great, there was a quarter sized chicken bone in my burrito and the chicken was dry and way overcooked. So, this makes us sound like a couple really picky folks, but really, we are not, it was again, just a bunch of little things about the service and food that kept piling up. They just didn 't seem to care about the customers wants, just what is easy for them. The prices were ok, we spent $40 for the meal and 2 sodas. The selection of salsa was excellent and they were very good, so I guess that is why the name is Jose 's famous salsa , not Jose 's fine Mexican food and great service There are better places around, this is just meh ."
