    Coconut Margarita
    George M.

    If you're in the mood for Mexican Food, this is by far the best place in town. Great prices and the food and drinks are PERFECTION. I cannot recommend the tacos al pastor enough. The coconut margarita was spot on; the perfect balance of coconut and tequila. Very friendly staff, comfortable tables, a nice bar, and plenty of options. This is a MUST VISIT spot for anyone looking for delicious Mexican food.

    Burrito al pastor and Enchiladas Supreme

    I was a little apprehensive after reading some of the previous reviews but after going, I honestly have no idea what they are talking about. The service was great, and the food was even better. There was no 10% service fee like a few of the previous reviews mentioned. We got the enchiladas supreme and burrito al pastor. Both were exceptional. The enchilada sauce looked and tasted homemade. Really really good. I definitely recommend this place and don't understand the current rating.

    The food was flavorful and fresh! The prices reasonable and service was good! I highly recommend the Carne asaddo tacos and shrimp tacos!

    They recently released a new menu and I was super excited for it but most of the dishes fell short…read moreas well as the customer service! The one standout was their take on a Crunchwrap supreme (their take from Taco Bell and it was good! The chalupas were burnt and hardly had any meat in both of them The chicken was good but when I mentioned that it was overly fried the man behind the counter did not care at all and just looked at me. I just ate the little bit of meat out of it, couldn't even eat the shell! Not worth $8 for one! The other taco was a chicken mole and it wasn't bad but for most street tacos they give you two tortillas to hold it all together. Only one and it all fell apart. Will not be returning!

    It was adequate but nothing to write home about…read more Mainly I question the value. We were visiting from DC, which is objectively a more expensive area, and yet the price per taco was higher than individual tacos at our favorite taco chain in DC, especially for the shrimp and, especially curiously, the cauliflower. And then the portions of shrimp and cauliflower in those tacos was pretty disappointing. Also, very fried. Nachos and quesadillas seemed like a better value than tacos so, while my husband got the aforementioned tacos, I got the nachos without any added protein. Much better value - huge portion at a small price. Some odd choices though. There was an appropriate amount of cheese (beer cheese, which seemed appropriate given its location inside a beer hall) but a really small amount of other toppings (beans, corn, pico I think?) relative to the huge amount of raw jalapeño slices. The dish relies really heavily on jalapeño for flavor and freshness, and I like jalapeño, but these woud be more appropriately described as "jalapeño and cheese on chips" than nachos, IMO. If you love raw jalapeño you'll be in heaven but for those who are accustomed to jalapeños being an accent, this is A LOT. It was like the primary ingredient after chips, even above cheese. All in all, it's fine if you're in the area and want tacos or need food with your beer but is it somewhere I would go out of my way to visit? Probably not.

Some restaurants make you wait for a smaller table, so it was nice that they didn't do that here. It took about 15 minutes for someone to come take our initial drink order, which was a little slow, but service moved smoothly after that with no long waits for food or additional drinks. For appetizers, we ordered the chicharrón botanero, which was delicious and perfectly crispy. Just a heads up: it's pork belly, so it's definitely on the fattier side. If you enjoy rich, crispy pork, you'll love it, but if fatty meat isn't your thing, this might not be the dish for you. For drinks, we had a flavored margarita and a mojito, and both were strong and very good. I ordered the chicken fajita taco salad. The flavor was good and the chicken was well seasoned, but there was barely any actual lettuce, which was a little disappointing since I was expecting more of a true salad. Overall, good food, strong drinks, and a relaxed atmosphere. A couple small service and balance issues kept it from being a full five stars, but I'd still come back.

They also sell fresh meats, which is a huge plus and makes it easy to grab quality ingredients to take home. Another highlight is their ice cream bar! It's a fun bonus and perfect for a sweet treat after your meal. The staff was friendly, the service was quick, and the whole place has a welcoming, authentic vibe. If you're looking for tasty food and a place that offers a little bit of everything, Taqueria Jessy is definitely worth the visit. I'll be back!

Here's the deal: Jessy's is located in a small shopping strip. While the building is a little older I did not think l it run down or in a part of town that I would consider questionable at all. I saw at least one review that noted this- could not disagree more., nothing to fear here. Plenty of parking and it's free! Once inside the restaurant is medium sized with seating for at least 15 parties and tables that can accommodative larger parties, 10+ people. There are two order stations at either side of the restaurant - one for hot food the other for ice cream and desserts. Service was friendly and attentive. You can choose to self order for takeout or be waited on. While staff wait on and bring you food and drink, pay is self pay at the food order counter. The menu is larger and has something for everyone. Proteins are optional for nearly every dish. The food here is authentic with lots of protections including some of my favorites- Al pastor and chicken tinga. Chips and salsa are scratch made and fresh- very good. We had street tacos which were very flavorful and also scratch cooked including the corn tortillas. Served with traditional hot sauces to add that little extra heat- awesome. The Al pastor was not grilled to get that char that some Al pastor dishes have but was otherwise spot on. Chicken tinga was perfect. If you are looking for authentic Mexican at reasonable prices, this is your place and absolutely worth a few minutes drive over. Hope to see you there sometime- happy eating!
