Best atmosphere in CB. By far
Service is good and prices for a pint of beer can be as low as $2.00. Yes $2.00. Food is ok.
We got enchiladas and the frito pie.
The enchiladas had tough meat and the rice were hard and crunchy. Crunchy rice is yummy in certain occasions but not in this case and definitely not when they’re charging 24 USD for it!
The frito pie was disappointing: small portion and it had a bland flavour.
As a distinguished member of the elite top 1% Mexican food reviewers on Google Maps, my culinary journeys are nothing short of legendary. Upon setting foot in the fabled land of Jose and Crested Butte, my expectations were skyscraper-high. Now, let’s get something straight – I wouldn’t dare utter a syllable of negativity about this establishment. However, my culinary quirks do include a passionate dislike for rice that hasn’t had a steamy affair with black beans, and alas, this was one of those tragic love stories that never began.
The chips at Jose and Crested Butte were a revelation – they were so heavily corned, I felt as though I was embarking on a maize maze adventure with every bite. Diving into the queso was akin to exploring a hidden treasure trove, with chunks of onions and jalapeños as the jewels. It was a spicy, creamy delight that made my taste buds sing mariachi songs.
Then came the chili con carne enchiladas, a dish so visually stunning, it could’ve easily been crowned Miss Universe of Mexican cuisine. Each enchilada strutted its stuff on the plate, flaunting its saucy, meaty excellence with undeniable confidence.
However, my quest for the holy grail led me to the pork carnitas – a dish that promised much but delivered an experience I can only describe as ‘mid’. It was the culinary equivalent of expecting a piñata bursting with exotic candies, only to find it filled with generic store-brand sweets.
In conclusion, my adventure at Jose and Crested Butte was a rollercoaster of emotions, filled with highs that soared into the stratosphere and mids that kept me grounded. It’s a place of culinary contradictions that somehow blends into a memorable dining experience. Would I return? Absolutely – for the thrill of the maize maze chips and the queso treasure hunt alone. 4.5 stars for making my taste buds dance, even if the pork carnitas missed a few steps.
