About No Way Jose’s Cantina

No Way Jose's Cantina offers a mixed dining experience with a pleasant ambiance and attentive service. The service has been noted as top-notch, and the restaurant's atmosphere is described as cute, with a rustic, south of the border decor. The food quality is variable; while the tamales are still mentioned as dry, the sweet corn mesa served with the plates has received praise as a nice surprise. The flautas have been highlighted as the best some diners have ever had.

The street tacos, including pork, beef, and shrimp, continue to be reported as excellent and flavorful. However, the "hot" shrimp is still considered mild. The guacamole and chips remain delicious, and the queso has also been appreciated by customers. The rice and salsa are noted as just okay, with the salsa having great flavor but being chunky, which is not preferred by everyone. The margarita is described as good but still lacking depth of flavor, especially for those who prefer reposado or añejo tequila.

Overall, No Way Jose's Cantina provides a great spot to relax, especially with a river view, and is a pleasant surprise for diners, particularly those visiting in the heat of summer, as the AC is noted to be very effective.
