About José Crested Butte

José Crested Butte is a restaurant that offers a mix of culinary highs and lows. The food can be impressive, with dishes like the salmon, which is fresh and perfectly cooked, and the burger, which is delicious. The chips are a highlight, with a unique corn flavor and a treasure hunt-like experience with the queso. The queso is a standout, with chunks of onions and jalapeños adding a spicy and creamy delight. However, not all dishes are created equal, as the guacamole has been noted as disappointing and the pork carnitas can feel generic and unfulfilling. The service is great, with friendly and accommodating staff, strong drinks, and a welcoming atmosphere. While the patio offers spectacular views and live music, making it a perfect spot for après ski, the menu may be limited. The restaurant has made significant improvements since last year, and despite some mediocre food experiences, José Crested Butte remains a memorable dining spot with some dishes soaring to new heights and others falling short.
