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 has received mixed reviews; while the tamales are 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. The "hot" shrimp is still considered mild. The guacamole and chips remain delicious, with customers noting that the chips served with the guacamole melt in the mouth. The queso has also been appreciated, and the salsa is noted for its great flavor, though some find it chunky. The chicken quesadilla and the chili relleno have been described as terrific. The margarita is 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. The restaurant is conveniently located near attractions and has received praise for quick seating and prompt food service, making it a place that diners will definitely want to return to.
