    A cut above the rest. The Cadillac margarita was an excellent choice to pair with my quesadilla. The trio of queso, guacamole, and pimento cheese made for a great start to the evening spent celebrating with coworkers. It has become one of my new favorite Mexican restaurants in the Triangle area.

    The chicken Enchiladas Suizas. Best in the area.
    Shawn L.

    Still five stars for the food, service and overall wonderfulness that's José and Sons. Came here to to add that you'll probably never get a better plate of chicken enchilada suizas than what they have here. You'll wish there were four or five to an order. Heavenly.

    Hole in the wall Mexican place. Small. It wasn't busy at all. Service was fast. Food decent no complaints definitely had better. The veggie Acp was okay, so many random veggies you wouldn't think would be in (broccoli, mushrooms, tricolored bell peppers, zucchini, onions) it was too much personally. The corn tortillas are not good at all, they lack flavor. The drinks were light and pretty steep for amount. I would recommend for something quick and easy but not for food.

    We had another great meal tonight! Daniel was our server and he recommend an off the menu item: the Peach Addictive Margarita Shaker. The drink was sweet, refreshing, and super smooth... so I can see why they call it addictive! I had Tiras De Pollo, one of my go-tos, and it was delicious as always. The chipotle cream sauce that comes on this dish is full of flavor.

    Shrimp BLT Tacos

    Had a great experience at Jose and Sons! We visited on a Friday night and it was busy, but we were seated quickly. The staff were so nice and checked on us often. We started with some drinks which were very good! I ordered the shrimp blt tacos. They were ok, the bacon was a bit hard which threw the tacos off a bit. But the rice and beans it came with were good. My husband got the fajitas and he liked them! The portion sizes were also great for the price.

    Daiquiri

    We got a burrito with avocado on top and a virgin strawberry daiquiri to drink. It was sooooo good! Portion size was great. After munching on chips and splitting an appetizer, we just shared the burrito.

    After looking for a great place to take my daughter for a quick lunch, I came across Jose and Sons. We arrived soon as they opened and was greeted by the host and the server. She gave us a lot of recommendations for drinks based on our preference. Since they are well known for their drinks. I went with the princess mango drink. It was really yummy and filled with flavor. I was definitely tipsy and ready to eat after a few sips. For my entrée I went with the chef picnic a variety of good authentic food. I felt like I was at a BBQ tasting the best things from the chef. Lol, my husband and daughter also enjoyed their meal, too. I loved how decor went with the food and drinks a great balance. They have plenty of parking right in front, so no stress there. I can't wait to go back and try something new.

    La vampira margarita
    Gab G.

    Big fan of Cortez and was excited to try their sister restaurant. No wait for our party of 4 on a Saturday night (though it was a holiday weekend). La vampira margarita was too sweet, but the food was really good. I tried: + Queso dip + Fresh guacamole + Battered fish tacos + Flautas de pollo The guacamole was the standout, though everything was great. Huge portions, too!

    Beautiful decor

    I enjoyed Jose and Sons. They offer a fun atmosphere that features talented bartenders at the cantina. I treated my mom and daughter to drinks & dinner to celebrate her birthday this evening. This place was jam packed. We really enjoyed the music, the decor and plentiful menu. My mom enjoyed a Tamarica Margarita from the Skinny Margarita menu which is less sugar. It featured los vecinos mezcal, tamarind, agave nectar & fresh lime juice, we also had the pimento queso dip with their delicious tortilla chips. If you don't know, now you know, they have the best chips. There is nothing like them. I decided on the Al pastor tacos, my daughter enjoyed the Gouda Queso Mac n cheese and my mom had shrimp fajitas. The dishes were a bit underwhelming. The Mac & cheese was the hit. The fajitas were lacking in flavor and the Al pastor tacos were soggy. Bad tortillas. My Horchata was not good either. They really lost points for me when I was not offered dessert, and the table was never cleared. They need more waitstaff. I asked if they do anything special for birthdays. I was offered a birthday shot of tequila for my 68 yr old mother with a serenade from the wait staff. Unfortunately, the waitress returned and I was told that the wait staff was too busy to sing for the birthday girl. Very disappointing. Luckily, I planned for cake at home. I would return most definitely for cocktails, chips and vibes at the cantina but I will pass on dinner here again.

    Perfection, highly recommend the shrimp quesadilla, or anything else with shrimp. The guacamole is worth the $10. The service was very good, really quick. Enjoyed the food and experience. I love the decor, it was to die for. I'll be back!

    Food is just ok. Prices are high. There is a big focus on bar drinks. Not near as good as the previous Mexican Restaurant that was there.

It never came. After waiting, we had to flag down a server walking by, who eventually brought one--only for it to be broken. It then took another 10 minutes before we finally got a functional highchair. Throughout the visit, the staff seemed far more interested in talking amongst themselves than actually paying attention to guests. The overall atmosphere felt disorganized, inattentive, and unprofessional. The worst part came after we left. I realized almost immediately that I had left my wallet behind and called right away. Instead of any sense of urgency or willingness to help, the host who answered was incredibly rude and dismissive. Before I could fully explain the situation, she cut me off and told me to "call back tomorrow." When I tried to quickly describe the wallet--color, contents, anything that might help--she hung up on me mid-sentence. Considering I called almost immediately after leaving and was brushed off so quickly, it raises serious concerns about whether any real effort was made to locate it. I would hope any establishment would take something like that seriously. Between the lack of attention, the disorganization, and the way a simple, time-sensitive situation was handled, this place clearly has serious issues with customer service. I won't be back.

Your then given a order number and it's open seating. Your number will be called out in Spanish when your food is ready and you'll pick it up at the counter. I ordered an al pastor taco which unfortunately was not good. It came out extremely cold and needed a lot of salsa for it to have any flavor. I also ordered a steak burrito which was much better and was served with melted cheese on the top. There were fatty pieces throughout the burrito but this was far better than the taco. Lastly, I ordered a horchata but it tasted like grainy and wasn't great. If I'm in the area again I may give this a try but I'd definitely stick with a burrito so your food is hot.
