What User likes about Jose Pistola's:
The food and service at this restaurant were both excellent. I felt a bit sorry for the server as he was the only one working the tables and bar, but he did a great job. Everything we ordered was fantastic, from the chips and guacamole to the chicken tinga tacos and chicken enchiladas. The sides of rice and beans were good, but not as impressive as the main dishes.

The restroom situation was a bit tricky, with the toilet... View all feedback.

I ordered a plain veggie burrito, but it did not have any vegetables in it. It only had rice, beans, and cheese. The tortilla was hard when it arrived.

The Fried Plantains were terrible this time. They were not ripe enough, so instead of being sweet and soft, they were very hard and tasted like potatoes. I wish...
