Rated among the top 10 tequila bars in the nation by Playboy Magazine, C.O. Jones is the surely the place to be.
Former playmate Kendra Wilkinson, of E! fame, gave it high praise, and turned this small bar and restaurant into a phenomenon. She even has her own dip on the menu!
If you’re one who loves a good burrito and margarita (21 and older, por favor!), and adores getting bang for your buck, look no further, because this place has you covered. The décor is reminiscent of old-western Mexicana complete with dim lighting and rustic dark-wood tables. Once your eyes adjust to the lighting, and you get accustomed to the loud bustle during the dinner/ happy hour(s), your C.O.’s experience begins.
Start with a regular or flavored “house” margarita for half price during their happy hours (4:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. on Sundays) you can expect a massive drink that packs a punch for a mere $4.00. Burritos range in price from $8.75 and $9.25. Tuesdays and Wednesdays also have their own daily drink specials.
From super-spicy to super-simple, and with a wide-variety of Mexican fare, you are bound to find something delicioso. The fast-moving wait staff is always willing to help with recommendations and customizing certain dishes to your liking.
For the avid tequila fan, you have to stop in and try the 1942 in a snifter for a good $16.00 or one of the other impressive 130 types to check out! There are also samplers if you’re a beginner to tequila and the many types and tastes of the liquor. I would highly recommend this for a date-night or just a fun evening of drinks and food with friends.
This intimate spot is located at 969 State Street New Haven. Without a reservation you can expect at least a two-hour wait on the weekends, so be sure to call ahead and see what the status is of the table availability at (203) 773-3344 and be sure to check out their Web site.
