Feeling very wary of Omaha TexMex after our unfortunate visit to Romeo's a few weeks ago, we decided to pop in to Jonesy's on a whim. The decor is pretty bare-bones and 70s, and the wait staff obviously wanted us to know that they are avid Wal-Mart shoppers and Taco Bell (?) eaters, judging from the volume of their convo. The beef and bean tostada came topped with grated cheese, cubed tomatoes and shredded lettuce that was actually... fresh! The ground beef could have used some more seasoning, and the hefty scoop of it was sort of overkill, but that's ok. The beans were all right, too, even with the absence of lard, which we all know makes a better bean. All these ingredients rested on a somewhat chewy--not crispy--fried flour tortilla. I kinda wished for some sour cream, and the "hot" sauce provided, though apparently house-made, was not hot in the least. The beef taco was pretty much the same as the tostada, just a tad smaller. Also, everything came out room-temp, kinda like when we make tacos at home and go back for seconds.
Junk food? Yes. Better than Romeo's? Hell yes. Will we go back to try a cheese and sauce covered Sancho? Probably...
