The lady at counter can't remember her name was a little on rude side asked if the inside was open she said no! Then asked for combo plate asked to exchange the Chile Riano she said no you Want plate or no I said fine! Asked if taco can be soft she said yes but for hard taco that the shell was broken already! The meat was burnt bad and the rice tasted like it was burnt and mixed with some regular rice that wasn't cooked all the way. The beans and cheese enchilada was the only thing that was good on the plate. Husband got a combo burrito. The meat was burnt in his burrito also.. he asked for green sauce in the burrito. you get your choice of green or red and there was NO SAUCE! So I asked for your sauce she just gave me a look and threw me two little containers. The tables were not clean, had to wipe them before we sat down. We ate here last year and it was good but this time around it was not not sure if we will try it again read more

This place is home! Great food with great prices. Ladies at the window are always so nice and sweet. Bacon breakfast burrito had the perfect ratio, of beans, cheese, bacon and eggs. The red sauce is the right spice to it. J&S has the perfect guacamole. You can never go wrong with their crisp crinkle fries. Every regular here knows this is the place for late nights, early mornings and anytime you need a bite of home. This might not be the perfect place for others but us regulars every bite is perfect. read more

Chorizo breakfast burrito tasting. It was super good. First bite impression was it had super flavorful seasoning without being overly salty. The chorizo, potatoes, eggs, and beans all came together in a delicious soft tortilla that was one of the best in SGV. I would give it a 5/5 if it had more eggs, crispy potatoes instead of soft. Overall, it's an awesome breakfast burrito that I would get again. read more

Used to come here back in the 90's. Driving through Garfield and decided to check it out. The hard shell tacos were my favorite. Ordered two hard shell beef tacos and a red chile burrito. My friend ordered a cheese burger with fries. First, the inside seating area is now closed and only three little metal tables are available outside for dining. Beef tacos were still good but loaded with too much cheese. Red chile burrito had a weird sweet taste (didn't eat it), hamburger was good but the fries were probably refried a few times. They were the crinkley type fries. Overall, good memories. read more

As a young adult I frequented J and S more than I care to admit. I still go there from time to time but it's been a few years. Will it stand the test of time today? We order a bean and cheese burrito, a green chile burrito (no meat), a breakfast burrito (no meat), and taquitos. The taquitos have improved over the years. They used to use frozen taquitos with a skinny strip of meat that would completely pull out if you didn't bite down hard enough. The new and improved taquitos have flavorful shredded beef inside and are clearly made in house. They come covered with a generous plop of guacamole (mixed with sour cream) which I love so much. I put the green salsa on the guacamole. The green chile burrito is made with lardy refried beans, cheese, and a rich green chile sauce filled with onions and peppers. It's not hot, but it's flavorful with spices. It's a flavor I can only find here. It hasn't changed and is still so satisfying. The bean and cheese burrito is also very good, as you would expect. Both burritos are brightened and enhanced with the acidity of the pico de gallo. The breakfast burrito is filled with egg, cheese, beans and potatoes. It can stand on it own but it becomes complete with the addition of the pico de gallo, mild green salsa and/or the flavorful spicy red salsa. J and S is open 24 hours, but this is not a 2:30am review after a night of clubbing. It is 10am and I am completely sober. This place has really good food. read more

There aren't many 24-hour spots around anymore, and J & S has been around for a while. It's a Montebello staple, a place where many locals enjoyed late-night eats during their high school years. There's a lot of nostalgia associated with J & S. I found great value here. I ordered the breakfast burrito, and the staff recommended the Sausage and Bacon Breakfast Burrito ($10.64). It was a decent, good-sized burrito. It wasn't the best I've ever had, but it wasn't bad. It's perfect for a quick bite. I recommend grabbing a coffee next door and taking it to go - it's a winning combination. I also tried the Taquito ($3.75). The order comes with two taquitos smothered in avocado sauce. They weren't the best, and tasted a bit dry and not fresh. I set it aside, and it actually tasted better after soaking in the sauce for a few hours. I would skip this next time. It's recommended to order ahead, as they can get busy. I always like to support local, mom-and-pop businesses, especially ones that have been around for a while. They must be doing something right. Overall, the food is a 3.5/5. The decent taste and great price make it an affordable breakfast spot. I heard the machaca burrito is popular, so I'll try that next time. read more

My gf lives nearby and has brought this palce up before but we've never gone until a couple weeks ago before a hair appointment that was right across the street. I had originally wanted to try out Ground Up Coffee but saw that this was right next door so we decided to get breakfast here. Got their Sausage Breakfast Burrito and it did not disappoint. It was stuffed to the brim and very flavorful! The salsa verde was thick and delicious with a nice kick of spice. Definitely avoid peak hours because we waited quite a while and there was a line that formed after we ordered. There's a few seats right by the ordering area and a designated but very tight parking lot right behind the spot. We will definitely be back so I can try more of their menu! read more

My brother in law introduced me to J&S in 1980. Been going since then. Good flavor and a great bargain back in the day. I went to visit my uncle Xmas Day in MTB. Had a little extra time and I was in the area, so... The usual, fries (crinkle cut and crispy, tasted like taquitos, taquitos ( crispy, little shredded beef and fluorescent colored guacamole) yummy, cheese enchilada ( that enchilada sauce, OMG) and last but not least, green chili burrito ‍. Oh, and an extra large Orange bang to wash it down with. Just like I remember! Talk to a few of the customers and they do the same, one moved to Riverside and one from the valley. Prices are much higher but to be expected. Really, I didn't care what it cost. To enjoy a meal that reminded me of my overly fun teenage years to my adult life, can't ask for more than that. Cheers! read more

Amazing coffee and matcha drinks. The staff is very friendly and the prices are very modest. Don't be fooled by the exterior. The inside is very spacious and it has a great vibe. read more

This used to be my favorite place to get a Pastrami sandwich, but I'm not sure if they have a new cook or owner, but it was not good. The pastrami was thick and hard(lol), and not a good way. I didn't taste any mustard, or pickles. The Pico de gallo is really good, but yes there's a big but, they charge you for little ass tasting cups for $0.25 each. They only give you 2 small ass cups for a sandwich and charge you for condiments. Last time I'm coming back here. read more

A whole in the wall that reminds me of my youth. The sausage and bacon breakfast burrito and the taquitos are great! It's not the cheapest but it's not u reasonable. The staff is kind and quick. I always stop by when I'm I. The neighborhood. Good thing it's open 24 hrs. read more

First time here, got a combination burrito with green chile. The beef was a little plain but the beans and cheese were really good and the green sauce helped give it more flavor. The service was great and they have seating outside for you to enjoy your food there. Would still come again and try more things and would definitely love to try a burrito with just cheese and beans. read more

I ordered a pastrami sandwich and a chile relleno burrito yesterday I waited almost 30 minutes for my order. A group of four guys ordered before me they sat ate their meal and 6 other people behind me ordered the their meals after me. Everyone got their meals and I'm still sitting there waiting for my order when I asked the lady at the counter she told me it's coming soon. Five minutes later nothing.so I asked for my money back then she said oh it's already done. I said too late I want my money back.so the return my money. I just don't understand why it took so long. read more

What happened to J&S. Been coming to this place for decades and never dissapointed. Today I ordered an breakfast burrito, which has been one of their specialties. I asked for easy potatoes but that wasn't the case. The beans were dry and tasted like they came from a can. There were no eggs in my first few bites and thought maybe as i kepted eating I would eventually find them. After several bites, no eggs, so I decided to open the burrito and all I found was bits and pieces of egg and lots of potatoes. How do you screw up a breakfast burrito. The one thing that always kept me coming back was the consistency in their food. Not sure If I will be coming back. read more

Saw this while driving and decided to try it out. They burritos are made to order and there was a line in the morning when I went. I tried the machaca and the deluxe burritos. The machaca was good it had refried beans inside but the deluxe was the way to go. Had bacon, ham, cheese, egg and some beans. Definitely recommend the deluxe. read more

Chili was thick and fries had mozzarella cheese on it. Fries were still crispy by the time I got to them. Would have preferred chili to be a little more watery and yellow cheddar cheese would have made it hit the spot. There was a small line, but it moved fast for a Sunday evening. read more

12/20/2024 J & S 887 N Garfield Ave Montebello, CA 90640 I went there to try the Chili Dog to compare with others in this area. It's a Mexican fast food mainly take out place located close to the freeway. There is some parking in the back. There is stainless steel bench seating in the front with no interior dining (being used for storage). The menu is on the board above the order window. I placed my order and paid for a Chili Dog with onions at the window then waited a short time for my ticket number to get called. The order taker was very friendly and cheerful. The Chili was flavorful and surprisingly not spicy at all. The dog was of the supermarket taste variety and okay, can't beat a Costco dog. If I put their Chili on a Costco dog, then that would be perfection. Value was pretty good and I would repeat. read more

Had the delicious beef taquitos, super crunchy and tasty. The mole salsa is the best, such an amazing salsa option that goes perfectly well with the guac and taquitos. They have a few tables at the front of the building, they didn't have somebody actively cleaning so we had to ask the cashier for a cloth to clean. They seem to have a side dinning room but doesn't seem to ever open. read more

I've had their taquitos from here before. Loved them but went back today and I'm disappointed, they used to put real guacamole on their taquitos but now they just like every other cheap hamburger joint using what I call agua-mole (not real guacamole). And the taquitos seem different also. I think that management has also changed . Guess I'll start looking for another place that makes taquitos right. read more

We arrived on a Saturday afternoon and it was quite busy, but we were able to find a parking spot right in front. I ordered the machaca burrito and it was delicious, affordable, and a nice size. We were greeted right away with a warm smile and had our order taken. Please note that they are a cash only establishment. This is definitely a fast food spot, so dining inside is not an option. read more

OMG - good news guys!!! They accept credit card now . Thought I would share coz we all know we always want to stop by whenever we are in the area but always depends on how much cash we have on hand hehe. Got my usual taquitos with guac and side of red sauce. Also got some guac fries for the hubs. Honestly, anything you order would be good - even their fries! Must try, if you haven't already. read more

J & S is consistently good. Get the breakfast burritos or taquitos with guacamole! Good news, they now accept credit cards.

Great for an after hours place to grab food Togo. They do have a few outdoor tables. Parking is located at the back of the restaurant. I recommend the machaca burrito breakfast burritos and a side of taquitos with guacamole sauce. read more

This would be my 2nd time eating here but my 1st time actually going myself. I heard their bean and cheese burritos were good and yes indeed it was good. It was pretty big. Their salsa was really good they gave us 3 different kinds but I enjoyed 2 of them the most! Their service was ok. They have parking in the back. read more

Sorry, but this place has lost its appeal. Beans taste like they came out of a can! They really taste terrible, they have a sign over the window where you order that's states no refunds and that they will remake your order if you are unhappy but no money back! Seems like that should have been my first warning! This once golden spot has turned into a complete disaster. Stay away! Furthermore, the prices have risen again, management relies on the legacy and have let the establishment in ruin! read more

I love their taquitos and guacamole. I also appreciate they accept credit cards now. Delilah the cashier is always smiling and friendly.

Ordered the all meat burrito and was super soggy, burrito was falling apart and leaking all over. Tasted like cheap catering food and looked like wet dog food. Got the chili cheese fries as well and the fries were sparse and tasted freezer burned and stale. The chili cheese was super greasy and heavy as well. WILL NEVER BE BACK. I wouldn't eat this food for free much less pay for it. read more

I have been coming here for 25 years. Up until today, nothing had changed and for was always excellent. Today, IMHO, almost everything seems to have changed. The rumors of J&S changing hands are apparently true. A few things are very noticeable. They now take credit cards and Apple Pay. Take out containers have changed from things like the taquitos in a paper tray and wrapped in a paper bag to now being placed in a black plastic hard shell container. Same with my machaca plate. Instead of a round aluminum dish with a round top, it now comes in another hard shell container with the rice, beans, and machaca in their own place. But the most telling thing was the quality of the food. With the first bite, you could tell things were not the same. The taquitos were dry and had less meat. Every item on the machaca plate was just tasteless. The machaca was dry, the refried beans were basically a paste, and the rice was...uninspired. I have been a huge fan and I will probably return to try their all meat burrito (my usual order). I guess we all change, but I never expected it would ever happen to J&S. read more
