Some foods to try at Jose Restaurant
Listed below are the foods that my friends and I tried when we dined in.
Smoked fish
This smoked fish comes with bread and some wrappers. Its taste is perfect with bread. You can have it as your appetizer.
Baked seashells
They come with baked mussels, clams, and scallops. Everything tastes so good. They are definitely a must-try.
Gambas Al Ajillo
This is garlic shrimp. It is kind of spicy but sweet. For sure, you will enjoy the taste of this one! Definitely one of the most mouthwatering dishes at Jose Restaurant.
Lengua
It is a beef tongue with creamy mushroom gravy. I could say that this is one of the best Filipino foods that they have served to us. Its taste is truly a remarkable one for me! You must order this when you dine at Jose Restaurant.
Crispy Pata
This one is also delicious. One of the most unforgettable dishes to try here!
Bulalo
Who doesn’t love bulalo? One thing I am sure of, Filipinos are crazy about bulalo! Get a chance to taste of this famous meal in Cavite at Jose Restaurant. Surely, they provide one of the most delicious bulalo meals ever!
Beef Caldereta
This beef caldereta is so tasty that you would ask for more rice!
Poqui Poqui Express
This is Jose’s own version of Bicol express. Obviously, it tastes spicy. But if you don’t want it to be spicy, it’s okay. Poqui poqui express is actually an eggplant recipe with tomatoes and eggs. Its name may sound funny, but you can never judge its amazing taste! I believe even if you are not fond of eating vegetables, you would surely love this local food. Just like what happened to my friend. Haha!
Adobo Rice
This rice is so good that even if you don’t partner it with any other meal, it would still taste great!
