Jessica Pugliese

The nachos are UNREAL. Literally, they're perfect. Get them with a side of their salsa verde to really seal the deal. Pairs well with red sangria .

Katrina Arey (Croswell)

Pretty nice portion sizes and selections for the price. Cool vibe and good beer . Would like to see more side options with the tacos.. Like beans and rice or something of the sort

Raj Sarma

The nachos are delicious. The chips are made in house and taste really good. Don't be afraid to get some pineapple on your nachos with jalapeños and some spicy pork !

Rob McGowan

Cheap margaritas during happy hour , 12 rotating taps, friendly staff and tasty burritos . The Cucumber Margaritas are usually on special and are very refreshing on hot summer nights.

Gary Noe

Totally the best. Great beer selection and try the guacamole with the Ahi Tuna , you will definitely go back for more. The nachos are fantastic.

Amanda ????Horton Diaz

Ooooooo! Mezcal cocktails FTW. Also, what a killer brunch deal ????

Liz Rattray

Amazing margs . Also the nachos are absolutely loaded with toppings! A bit small downstairs, go upstairs to the second bar area

Ville Kauppi

Try the nachos and special guacamoles ! Did I already tell you to try their nachos and special guacamoles ?

Jes V

delicious! got the portabella mushroom tacos and it was the perfect tortilla combo! the fried plantains were good but sweet!

Lindsay D'Andrea

The nachos are out of this world. I've never had better. Good place to chill out with friends...always a laid back vibe

John H

Nice specials on craft pounders 4-6pm M-Sa. $5

Christina Dahl

The Freedom Tacos were FANTASTIC. Spicy tuna guacamole definitely had a kick, but it was good. Margaritas were pretty basic but tasty

Devin Spain

Best tacos and nachos you'll find in a 12 block radius

Amanda Marie

BEST CHICKEN TACOS EVER MADE! If you come here you have to get them. $15 margarita pitches during happy hour ! This place is one of my FAVORITES

James Robinson

If you live in the city , join the recycling rewards program. 400 pts will get you a $20 gift card to Jose Pistolas, good for food AND booze, just for doing what you were probably already doing anyway

MICHAEL RYAN LAWRENCE

The best Mexican in the city .. hands down. Add a ridiculous beer list on bottle and a ridiculous rotating tap list and you got yourself a little slice of heaven.

Get a pitcher of margaritas ($15) or Yards draft ($3) during happy hour and if you like BBQ , don't pass up the Bell's 2 Hearted Wings ! Check out our full review by tapping More Info! Read more

Steak Burrito is the best I’ve had on the east coast!

Spicy Tuna Guacamole sounds weird, but everyone always likes it all the time.

Philadelphia Magazine

Commenter Pick: "Jose Pistola’s Grouper Tacos are the best fish tacos on the east coast. There isn’t a close second." Read more

Bre Bonner

The ambiance says it all. Favorite drink is the Guava Margarita .

Gary Noe

Great beers and try the spicy tuna guacamole , it's awesome

Naomi Fenlin

DO NOT think you can order their delicious nachos as just an appetizer . They will make you too full to even take one bite of your amazing entree. (Breakfast burrito reheats very well , though :) )

Cassie P

Wasn't able to try the tacos but a big thumbs up for their Vegetarian nachos ! Open in the wee hours too.

Pork Belly Ban Mi...what are you waiting for? Also rock shrimp .

Joe Czeiner

Great beer and food . Don't miss upstairs!

Philadelphia Magazine

Proprietors Casey Parker and Joe Gunn make sure every visit to Jose Pistola's is a fun one.

Dominique Comer

The fish tacos are amazing! Flavorful and not skimpy :-)

Justine Campbell

Go on Saturday, Buddy, the downstairs bartender is the man. The carnitas nachos and the fish tacos are delicious!

Camilo Aguirre

Liverpool FC matches. Bloody Mary's are nice and spicy for the good ol' hangover.

The nachos are AMAZING. the 1/2 order is big. The full order is huge!!!

Ummm, beef tacos and beer for days. Sit at the bar upstairs if the bar is full downstairs.nuff said

Pete Wong

Thoroughly ask for the prices of each of the drafts , since they're not indicated on the menu.

Marc Coleman

Best. Nachos . Ever. They come in a trough... On the great menu of microbrews , I love that Miller Lite is listed as being from "Crapland"
