I moved to Missouri from California and have been trying to find an amazing Mexican authentic place to eat. I finally found the place in Jose locos! The food and drinks are amazing. Because I love the food so much at this restaurant I've been there around 6 times. The last three times I went I was overcharged. You need to pay attention to what you're paying at the end of your meal. I don't eat a lot and I love chili rellenos so I ordered off of the side menu 2 chili rellenos)which should be $8+tax but I was charged $14.36. I did talk to the manager during my last visit and she did fix the mistake. I ordered the exact same thing every time. I went through my receipts and bank statement and I was overcharged the last three times. The waitress should be adjusting the charge when the bill is being generated. I noticed it because the last two times I ordered it was to go. I did notice it the time before that but I was in a rush and didn't want to make a big deal of it . I do love the food and the atmosphere but I will not be going back there. It's the principle of it all. When you're with a group of 7 to 10 people and your all drinking (except the DD driver) who is looking at your individual bill at the end of the night. I'm just saying to be aware, not to discourage you from going there.

Tried it out for lunch due to a suggestion from a friend. Nothing really special for me as this place was just like any other Mexican restaurant. The salsa was ok, and they serve the thin cantina style chips. I ordered the chimichanga with fajita meat. So here's the strange thing. I was going to order the lunch special chimichanga with fajita meat and the waitress told me it would cost more if i asked for fajita meat. Her recommendation was to order the dinner plate as i would be able to get it with the fajita meat and have the dinner style portion. I ordered the dinner plate which was $10+ and when I received my lunch plate, it was not the size of the dinner plate. It wasn't a big deal for me as I didn't initially want the dinner sized portion, but wanted others to be aware if this happens to them. I thought the food was cooked well and brought out in a timely fashion, but it's nothing special and I can't think of anything that Jose Locos does that seperates itself from any other Mexican restaurant.

Customer service was good. Philly cheesesteak burritos comes in a bath of oily cheesey goodness. Loaded with steak. Does not come with beans and rice, I ordered separately. Food tastes good. $20 seems a little high. I think $15 would have been a more reasonable price point. But I would choose them again when I have a date to pay for the meal. UPDATE: I went again. You pick up to go orders from the bar. The waiter was far from polite. I was very kind, hoping it would rub off on him but it didn't. I thanked him for my meal at the end, he finally said one kind word... "welcome." He should have also thanked me for my business. Was told they went up on their prices so I got a lunch special. Was told it comes with rice and beans, which the menu said as well. Got home, only beans no rice. I called and was told only beans come with the beef burrito lunch special. So two days later, I was still thinking about not receiving my rice. I called again, spoke with Tina who offered to give me rice and beans for their error. I went in, drank a Magarita which isn't watered down like many places. I ordered my Philly cheesesteak burrito after drinking some of my margarita on the rocks. Got my rice and beans.

I have been told to visit Jose Locos for over 5-6 years, meaning since I’ve moved here. So here’s my take on their food. I got the Tapatio Burrito and it wasn’t at all what I expected, only meat was inside no rice, no lettuce, nothing. I don’t know if that’s their style but I’ve had better. Flavor was good, a little spicier than what I would have liked but it was a let down. Margarita was great, too strong for me but for those that like to get drunk off their seat, it is perfect for you! Service was amazing, I thought with how busy they were that it would take a long time but was able to get in and out within 45 minutes. Place does feel a little claustrophobic, as in too many tables that are too close to one another. I would have rather been in a booth but with having a child that requires a high chair doesn’t make it possible at most restaurants. I do feel like plates were a little over priced for the size and for the amount of things that are on it so it was a let down for me but don’t let me stop you from trying it out, I just give my honest opinion! Thank you Jose Locos!

Monday 06/24/24 I went in after work around 4:00. I sat at the bar the bar tender was overly nice and I was suspicious but people can be nice without hidden agendas right. He ran my card for the cost of my food, tax plus additional $3 not sure why, as usual got a notification from my bank. I added a tip but I thought it was funny he didn't bring me a copy of the receipt. I left got another notification that I was charged for the food again plus the tip I added. It was pending thinking 1 would fall off I waited. Wednesday go check the $30.56 posted original $23.56 pending was changed to $100. My bank canceled the card and I started a dispute for fraud. I then called the restaurant and when ask to speak to the owner or the manager the guy on the phone all of a sudden he was the manager and I told him about the situation . Smh...he told me if I bring my Bank Statement in they'll look at it and see if a mistake was made but he's sorry. I'm letting my bank handle it. If you eat at this establishment be mindful using your cards they have thieves working there.

I've dined here on-and-off over the years and every time I come to the same conclusion: it's nothing to write home about. The service is mostly friendly (can honestly be hit-or-miss) and the food is okay. During our most recent visit, my boyfriend ordered sweet tea and was given unsweet; I ordered a beer that never came. The music was way too loud, possibly because we were seated in a smaller room. Their queso has a decent flavor but it's runny. Honestly, while I don't love coming here for dinner, I do enjoy ordering their fresh guacamole and a drink (when it shows up) and just hanging out over a couple margaritas or a beer. The patio isn't spectacular but at least they have one. A few years ago I called ahead to ask whether they were dog friendly. While they said yes, they're treatment and temperament suggested no. It's nothing to rant and rave about, but it's not a miserable dining experience either. This is one of those in-the-middle places about which you'll have to make your own determination.
