12 in 12: Jose and Sons

I have to say, Jose and Sons is now my go-to place for Mexican food in Raleigh. It was so good! My friend, Sarah, and I ventured to Southwest corner of downtown back in April for some amazing food.

Our waitress was so sweet, and the atmosphere was quite unique! It definitely had an Old-West meets East-Coast-Southern feel about it. Hard to explain unless you have been there - which means you should go!

Sarah ordered two appetizers for her meal: Chicken Floutas and a bowl of Crema Negra soup (Check out the descriptions on their menu!)

I ordered the Collard-Wraped Tamales - simply amazing. Period. The end.

Jose and Sons is just a few doors down from Videri Chocolate Factory, which I would have loved to try, but we were just so full! 

After dinner, I asked a guy sitting at an outside table if he would take our picture, but none of the photos he snapped turned out well at all. He did admit to having had a few too many drinks....
