Our server was a very kind young man and took good care of us, but with the quality of the food and the price, I really wouldn't suggest trying. The fish tacos are fried (and probably frozen from Sysco), the chorizo tacos I ordered were burnt to the point where it wasn't enjoyable to eat. The pastor was honestly really good though. My wife enjoyed the enchiladas, but again, $15 for the plate we got just seemed agressive and inconsiderate of the customers. The restaurant itself was nice enough, not particularly dirty or clean. The door leading to outside seating was locked, apparently we couldn't eat out there. It's not the worst I've had, but the value for price is insanely low.

They put a lot of meat in the taco for the al pastor although the shrimp taco only had three pieces of shrimp so I couldn't even finish the full taco because there was not enough shrimp in it.

Their food is very fresh and flavorful. They have a large menu and can accommodate anyone's needs! The service is always good too. I appreciate that everything is made to order!

Chips and salsa were okay but the bacon jalapeño carne asada tacos were amazing. Only two tacos but they were chuck full of ingredients. I paid extra for rice and beans.

Definitely don't think I would take my kids to eat there but would be a nice date for husband and me. Restaurant was very clean and plenty of seating. I also heard they do bingo on Sunday!

My waiter only barely spoke English but we could figure it out. The chips & salsa they set down was a mixed result. The chips were terrific. The salsa was a small kind of watery bowl that tasted much more sour than usual. It was okay. Just not as good as the chips. I ordered the Taconazo after ascertaining that it was a variant on carne asada. I asked if it came with tortillas. Si. It came pretty fast and he pointed to a station to one side of the dining area and said, "Salsas!" Sadly the salsa cups were tiny. I could barely fit any pickled onions inside. There were also some big jugs of various agua frescas there, nestled in ice. The "Taconazo" consisted of LOTS of onions, peppers, cheese, crispy bacon(!), cactus, and strips of steak. I liked it quite a bit. There was a bit of trouble at the end. My food was 15.99 but my bill was $21. So I asked for a itemized bill (tips weren't included). Turned out they'd charged me $2.99 for a fountain drink, but I'd only had water. I showed them the error. Rather than change the bill, they just handed me $3 in bills so that worked. (Yes I tipped.) Anyway good food with only minor glitches, and I'll be trying it again.

The chicken was fine. Most of the bites had some flavor to them. The staff were also very friendly to me and my wife. That really matters. Now, with the good out of the way, let's talk about the bad. With all due respect to the cooks, the rice and beans had NO FLAVOR. I'm Brazilian, I breathe rice and beans, I also love Mexican rice and frijoles however they're served. All I'm saying is, I trust my palate for rice and beans. Unfortunately, this was not it. El Morelense in south Jordan has amazing rice and beans, as a fresh reference in my mind. My half chicken dish came with rice, beans, chicken, a jalapeño, and three tortillas. I didn't even feel like making a taco because I was so underwhelmed by the lack of flavor. My wife ordered a chicken burrito. She did not have a good time. She has a personal preference for white chicken meat, why am I telling you this? She asked the staff if the burrito contained any dark meat, one of the workers said no, so she went with it. Well... there was plenty of dark meat in the burrito and a lot of chicken nerve pieces, which neither of us are a fan of. The rice and beans in the burrito were the same as the ones from my meal, so they were pretty bland. The green sauce that comes with the burrito was actually decent, but overall the experience wasn't good.

So simple, yet so good, as tacos should be! Their food here is very straight forward - Mexican and tasty, no extra bells and whistles. I bought about 10 tacos on Tuesday, since they have a Taco Tuesday deal. Some meats don't apply to the deal, like tripe, but that's okay. It was worth the few extra bucks. For tacos, I got asada, pollo, cabeza, tripe, al pastor, and lengua. Their service is good, quick enough, and the works are kind. I will say, there might be a slight language barrier (Spanish vs. English) but nothing to worry about. This location is quite big, lots of tables! Inside of this location, there is also a dessert/drink spot. I love the protein options they have here. I sometimes just order by the pound with their Spanish red rice and call it a good night! They also have a salsa bar with all the toppings you can want on a taco. I'll always be returning to Don Joaquin!
