I don't even remember what the heck I ordered now, but I do remember that it was super delicious! Our waitress was amazing too. Not an overly large place, but definitely somewhere I would visit again.

I was lucky enough to have a spot at the bar for the Super Bowl at Jose’s. What a terrific job they did selling for this event. They didn’t oversell so that the place was overcrowded like I’m sure so many places may have, I witnessed many places for the NFC that absolutely were over capacity. Our bartender Will had his momentum down and had everyone taken care of from food to drinks and processing everything with ease. I’m sure there were bars with lines waiting for drinks...

Center city spot known for its good Mexican and beer selection. Three floors, seating and bars on the lower two. Tacos will run you $9-14 for two. They'll make you an al pastor burrito/taco if you ask, which is their spicy pork with added pineapple. Cheesesteak empanadas are also a nice local touch, two for $9. The nachos are also very filling, $15 with your choice of protein.

convenient downtown taco spot, try the cheesesteak empanadas if you're...
