Ordered the bean burrito and was really disappointed -- it was about 90% tortilla with barely any filling, and somehow cost $10. For that price I expected something substantial, not just a wrap full of air. Definitely not worth it. read more

J & J Mexican Food - Mexican Near Me - Spring Valley, California

We continue to come here for excellent food. The salsa bar alone is worth the price of admission! There's a new kid on the salsa bar today - habanero! I've always heard this fiery pepper had sweetness and fruity flavors, but I have always been hesitant to try it. I like heat, somewhat, but it has to balance everything else without blowing your palette. This salsa was exceptionally balanced, and I can taste the "fruitiness," and then BAM! My mouth went on fire like a spark turns into a roaring fire! It was fantastic! When my mouth recovered, a few minutes later, I wanted more. I can't believe it! The salsa bar, or better described as a hot sauce bar, has the usual green salsa, but the other two are both roasty and toasty. I don't know the exact names of them, but they're especially yummy! After eating the inside of the taco, I ate just the corn tortillas... Wow! They tasted like they're freshly handmade - so delicious! Oh yeah; you know I'm coming back! read more

1: The food was amazing! 2: When I first walked in, I didn't have any idea where to go to order, and there was a young lady wiping a table off, who saw me come in and I made eye contact with her a couple of times, but she kept cleaning. 3: The karaoke was so LOUD that I had no idea how the employees aren't all deaf, and couldn't understand how anyone could even place an order. 4: Another employee walked into the restaurant from outside, and I asked him how do I order, and he pointed me to the window at the back of the restaurant. 5: As a Complaint, I would state that the prices stated online DO NOT match what you PAY in the restaurant. EVERY SINGLE THING that I order in the restaurant was more expensive than the online prices, and I was shocked when I saw my receipt, and I didn't appreciate that at all. Also: initially, I was the only customer inside, and I waited for my food during the whole karaoke session for one. I'm not Hispanic, and have no idea what was said over the karaoke microphone when I was leaving, but three couples had shown up to eat, and whatever was said, caused all of them to turn and stare at me as I left, and I didn't appreciate that at all, what is the tables were turned, and I spoke in a different language that you didn't understand about you or towards you, would you like that? Whether it was a joke, something good or bad, it was unnecessary and unfortunate. read more

We bought breakfast burritos from 3 different places in the same block J & J was definitely a hands down, the comparison picture speaks for itself but the taste bud was definitely good. El burrito que agarramos fue el supreme burrito d tocino y no nos defraudó todo esta bien y las salsas estan picositas y ricas. Ya tiene rato que no e comido aquí desde que cerraron Rafas. Un domingo en la mañana nadie quería cocinar decidimos comer breakfast burritos, no queríamos ir tan lejos y décimos agarrar comida en la area nosotros vivimos en Grand. Estos lugares están en la misma cuadra. Mi favorito fue el de J J . Nos gusto que ordenamos en la noche. read more

J & J Mexican Food - Bacon breakfast burrito added sausage and egg whites - Mexican Near Me - Spring Valley, California

Prices are higher when you come in to order. They don't always answer the phone when you want to order.

I stumbled upon this place on my way home. It's in the old Rafa's location. For dinner, I order the Adobada Burrito "mojado" or wet with a ladle of red enchiladas sauce right on top for $7.25, plus a dollar more for the sauce. The burrito was good, and so was the red sauce a top, which had a very good robust flavor and a bit of heat as well, but not much. The burrito came with a good amount of tender pork meat, but the meat was missing those traditional adobada flavors and color. It needed more of the red chili mixture, usually dried ancho or guajillo peppers, apple cider vinegar or vinegar, and garlic. I like adding a little Annatto or smoked paprika to aid in developing that deep red orange color and for added flavor. At any rate, it was good burrito and also came with chopped onions, cilantro, and guacamole which all very good. It could of used some tomatoes. The salsa bar rocked! All the salsas were terrific, especially the habanero sauce. It was hot, but packed with flavor. If you want tortilla chips, I think you have to ask for them. I did, and I got some. Good chips! Service was very friendly. The eatery is family owned. read more

J & J Mexican Food - This place sucks - Mexican Near Me - Spring Valley, California

I began going here when it was Rafa's and then it became J&J's Mexican Food. The food is just as tasty and the surf and turf burrito is excellent. My only complaint is the portions are much smaller. However, it seems everything has changed since Covid and small businesses have suffered. I support local businesses and I plan on visiting here many more times. You really can't go wrong with any order. read more

Healthy potions good price nice spot well deserved 5 star review I come often and will continue to recommend to anyone looking for a good quality spot to eat. read more

Looks like this place is under new ownership however food is definitely a step up from Taco shop food.

I ordered a Carne asada burrito and chips and salsa. I watched the cook put the tortialls into the oil! The service was very fast, and I had my order in less than 5 minutes. The burrito was hot. Not warm, but hot. The seasoning was excellent. The burrito was steak, pico, and guacamole. This was one of the best burritos I have ever had. My only quibble is there was no soda fountain, but they did not complain when I brought in my drink from outside. I cannot recommend this place enough, and it will only a matter of time when I return. read more

The best Mexican food near me! There were a few places that were decent but then went downhill but this place definitely 5 stars in my book!

The food is authentic Mexican. The staff is super friendly and really helpful. Great family owned restaurant with an extensive menu. Switched to this place after our favorite taco shop changed ownership and so glad we did. Highly recommend J&J. read more

Came here today and holly s--t. They had a sign up that said "Fish Tacos $1.50" so I ordered 6 fish tacos. When they brought my food it was 6 rolled tacos I told the lady I ordered 6 fish tacos so they took the sign down in front of me and said "that sign was for yesterday the fish tacos are $3" so that's BS, while I'm eating they had the cook explain to me that he adjusted the price from $22 to $28 WHILE IM EATING. this place is flat out a joke if you see any specials up DONT FALL FOR IT! It's a scam. read more

The food was good but the customer service was unwelcoming. The cashier at the front was on her phone the whole time and had her AirPods in. She kept saying "huh" and "what" because she couldn't hear us because she had her headphones in. When we spoke a bit louder than we were speaking she got upset/offended or something of the sort. My boyfriend and I felt uncomfortable because the cashier was staring at us the entire time we were there. We wanted the food for here but she put it as to go!!! When she called us up to pick up the food all she did was ring a bell to try to get our attention and just pointed at it. She didn't even say a word. read more

Got the fish tacos and horchata like the basic white girl I am, while my friend got the California burrito, we both loved the food and drink, it's a nice place to sit and have a calm conversation, the atmosphere is quite calming in my opinion and reminds me of when I'd go to Mexican restaurants with my family as a kid, definitely recommend read more
