Jose'peños Mexican Restaurants, O'Fallon

Aside from bringing back artwork, including ceramics and flags, from Mexico, the folks at Jose'peños Mexican Restaurant brought back its authentic flavors and smells. Here, the chefs cook up both authentic Mexican dishes like mole poblano with chicken, and Tex-Mex classics like steak quesadillas. For the thirsty, the staff serve generous margaritas over their custom built bar, whose top consists of 5,000 handpicked bottle caps. While waiting for food, guests might catch the restaurant's favorite salamander hiding somewhere in the foliage.
