Overall not bad . I had a strawberry margarita that taste like a regular margarita. I had a rice bowl that was great but I had some burnt rice which made it hard to enjoy. The churros were good just a little doughy in the inside. Our server was great , very nice and helpful . The atmosphere was nice however it was very loud which made it hard to hold conversations.

Small place right in the heart of center city. Great Mexican food and drinks. The inside is cozy with small bars on both the first and second floors and each floor has a small dining area. Reasonably priced and yummy!

This place is a nice little bar with good food … the only problem is that the Mexicans are getting a little too comfortable in our country…but the freedom tacos made me feel free like a Birdy…js….

I’ve been here a couple times and I love this place. It’s one of my new little hole in the wall spots after a hard day’s work. The wings are just how I like them, spicy and saucy. The Guacamole and chips never disappoint. I like their margarita flavors, reg, spicy strawberry, mango, all delightful in a glass or a pitcher. The pork buns are good along with the freedom tacos and chicken nachos.

loved the ambience! we came on a wednesday night and they were playing mf doom which i n then played live music which was amazing. definitely come on a wednesday for the live music, it brings such a fun lovely vibe. in regards to food, i got the tempura shrimp tacos, and my friends got the shrimp burrito and i cannot for the life of me remember the third item. the food was good, but we all wish we had more meat in our orders. my friend’s burrito had only a bite or two of shrimp and the rest was loaded with beans, and i feel like my tacos could have used more meat too. food is pretty solid, but i wouldnt come back for it. but the ambience really makes this place good

Has some dope shrimp Diablo tacos but my wife has a carne asada dish she didnt love. The waiter was friendly and the food came pretty quick. A bit pricey for what it was, but I guess that’s how it goes in Center City. The beer menu was great!

Had high hopes for Jose Pistola’s based off other reviews but overall came away with mild impressions. We were immediately seated on an early Friday afternoon, and the vibes inside were very fun. The beer selection was great, and I enjoyed my smokey margarita. The food however was okay at best. The guacamole was frankly mush, and our nachos and tacos very bland. Additionally, the restrooms are fairly treacherous, with toilets 3 flights of stairs up.

Nachos with chicken tinga were awesome, definitely enough for 2-3 people to share. Fried plantains were delicious as well. Service was great and food came out quick.

Nachos was good. Korean rib tacos was okay. I don’t like the vietnamese banh mi tacos. It’s 75% fat. The dish presentation pretty nice. Bathroom clean. You have to go three stairs to get to the bathroom.

Awesome late night place with good food, vibes, and drinks. We brought two vegan friends, and their vegan tacos and salads were very tasty. The other food items were well crafted and exceptionally flavorful. Trinity is a wonderful server, very attentive to our friends’ needs. We’ll return at the first opportunity!
