Real good verde chilaques. And the flower is edible too - the best flower I've had up to date (I'm not going in public and eating flowers!) crunchy with some flavor when you broke down the petals in your mouth. Sauce was sublime and the right viscosity for the rest of the dish. I was really impressed here - they are spot on with the texture. Right amount of flavor and spice - same for the chipotle version which I sampled from my friend I got the verde chilaquiles with sunny side up, refried beans and a flight of sangria. Staff was super friendly and attentive! read more

Not good for large parties 10+ We had a reservation for 13 ppl at 11 am. Reservation means To secure a guaranteed table in advance, typically to avoid long wait times and manage busy hours. Ambiance was loud and busy since it was a Sunday morning Our whole party was on time and they won't seat incomplete parties. We waited additional 45 min to get seated. The server seem flustered and annoyed with large parties, he took our drink order , left and upon arrival we gave him our order as we were ready to order and eat. I understand large parties take long but food came out decent time in parts of course but the expo , lady refilling coffee were super nice to us. We brought our own cake to cut but we didn't feel welcomed so we decided to hurry eat and go home. Food was okay I enjoyed my pancakes over my entree but definitely not a place for large parties. Anything under 5-6 people will get sat faster and better service. read more

Came here with my sister, she loves checking out different food places when she comes home. She heard about this place in Instagram. I go a simple breakfast with a few pieces of bacon and a stack of blue berry pancakes. There wasn't anything breathtaking, pretty straightforward breakfast. The location was very busy on a Sunday morning so the people in the surrounding area really like it. If you're nearby and want breakfast, check it out. read more

This place is an excellent breakfast spot, especially coming from Maryland. I love the food we had and the quality of service. Parking was easy, and the restaurant was spacious and clean. The bathroom was also clean. The service was fast, and all the servers were attentive. All the food we ordered tasted really good! Overall, this place is a must-visit. read more

Went here for brunch with some friends. We all lived nowhere near this spot but somehow ended here. They have regular American and Mexican breakfast/lunch option. I opted for their Mexican scramble which came a choice of tortillas or toast then topped with slices of avocado. It was flavorful and very well could make two decent dice breakfast burrito. Service was efficient, and fast. Our food came out pipping hot and fresh looking. The space shared a room from a banquet hall which I think they rent for bigger events. The two rooms can be combined or split with a barn like sliding door in the middle of a big space. This place is an option for brunch if you are in the area. read more

enjoyed the food, but unfortunately my experience was affected by how the manager treated one of the waitresses. I was seated near the front and witnessed him yelling at her in front of customers. It was uncomfortable to watch, and I don't think employees should be spoken to that way, especially in front of guests. I hope management treats their staff with more respect moving forward. read more

The wait time for two people on a Sunday was ~20min. We were sat at 12:55 and left the restaurant at 2:11. We felt the food took a while to come out, and so did the check once we asked to pay. I ordered the caramel macchiato which was basically diabetes in a cup. I couldn't drink even half of it. My boyfriend had asked for water as a refill and was brought back another horchata which was not free and not communicated. The food was ok. I ordered the red chilaquiles with birria. The meat portion wasn't enough, and the sauce was not a level 3 spice. Seemed more like a level 1 to me. My boyfriend got the chicken and waffles, which were not flavordu We shared a plate of the tres leches pancakes, but they were a bit dry. No syrup was provided and frankly, we didn't want to wait another 5min for them to bring that by. I wouldn't come back in all honesty. I was extremely disappointed to have paid $61 for an experience that felt inconvenient. read more

This place was busy early! We got there around 8:30am on Sunday. It was very roomy. I enjoyed the attentive service. I would not get the chorizo and egg again, just wasn't flavorful. The beans were very good! And the potatoes obrian was more onions & bell pepper than potatoes. The chicken& waffles were AMAZING! we really enjoyed the waffles. Also got a side of bacon & eggs, sooo delicious read more

Drove the 30+ minutes specifically for their menudo. Possibly best I've ever had. Tipico's is a close second in taste but wins out in both distance (from me) as well as offering menudo daily, not just Saturday and Sunday. But if you're near JJ's, then by all means go! Big place. Busy. Decent service. Extensive menu with a good variety! read more

Had a late breakfast with my wife on 03/31/2026. She ordered a scramble with biscuits. I ordered a cup of oatmeal. The biscuits were hard and cold, the eggs were rubbery, and the oatmeal was extremely watery, requiring me to drain the water off before I could eat it. Neither of us could eat our meals, Service was fine, but no amount of good service could make up for the horrible food.. Never again! read more

Let me start off by saying my family and I love JJs and have eaten here many times. The tres leches pancakes are to die for. Our usuals are chilaquiles, waffle tower, cheeseburger and breakfast tacos. That being said I came during the week on my own to try the birria ramen I saw posted Infront. What a let down. I wish there was an easy way to communicate with the owners that I feel like it's such a fail. I looked for pictures online but couldn't find any anywhere. If I would have known it was going to be a large cup of the tapatío Instant noodle mix with birria in it I would not have ordered it. Especially not for $15. I had to put a bunch of the onions and cilantro in it to eat it. Such a turn off to be eating out of a large paper bowl in a restaurant. Please, post a picture of it somewhere so people are not shocked when you come out with an instant ramen like bowl of soup. read more

The food was out of this world (considering the low prices) and the workers are actually really cool and laidback while the ambiance was chill and a lil festive which was a nice little detail.

I called the restaurant at 9:30am on May 11th to try to place a to go order. All I wanted was some tres leches pancakes for my wife and my mother to surprise them for Mother's Day. I was told I couldn't place an order over the phone. I drove to the restaurant to try to place the order there at 10am, and was told that they weren't doing to go orders due to being extremely busy. The restaurant was nearly empty and a lot of tables were open. The website says "Drop by or phone in an order and then take it home yourself." So I am very disappointed in not being able to surprise my wife a mother with their favorite pancakes. I understand with holidays that it can sometimes be over whelming, so maybe there should be a disclaimer on the website saying "no call ins on holidays" or something of that nature. But in today's situation, there was no wait for dine in, so I don't understand how difficult it would have been to make one to-go order. There was literally no one waiting outside. I've been here when it's busy, so I know how it looks. Today was no where near it. Also, don't email their email on their webpage. Gets you nowhere. read more

Best breakfast in East Dallas! Make reservations or expect a lonngggg wait! French toast is amazing!!

Friendly neighborhood spot for breakfast and lunch. The chilaquiles is a touted dish and so it should be. The refried beans at JJ's are exceptional. Service is generally attentive and efficient. The ambiance is ok and the space is clean and there is plenty of space for everyone. JJ's is also an event space available to rent in the evenings. Convenient location just off east Northwest Highway and Easton/Ferndale. read more

We stopped in cause everyone talks about this place and their amazing breakfast! We were seated as soon as we walked in and our server didn't take long at all. Sean our server was very knowledgeable about the menu and we ended up going with his recommendation, which was perfect. The people there were very sweet and everyone greeted us that made eye contact. I was very impressed with Sean and his attentiveness. We will be back and asking for him! read more

It's been quite a while since I had been to JJ's and my friend and I decided to have breakfast there after church. While the menu was filled with a vast array of breakfast choices, we both opted for th Huevos Rancheros. She had scrambled eggs. Mine were over easy. Eggs came on a corn tortilla. They were topped with a spicy red sauce and slices of avocado. Potatoes O'Brien and refried beans were included. Eggs were cooked to perfection. The meals were both delicious and hearty. Everything was from scratch. Service was friendly, helpful, and prompt. Ambiance was as I remembered it. One large room with two smaller rooms. All three comfortably full on this day. All in all a tasty and comfortable visit. We will definitely be back. read more

Good food, fast service, and everyone was nice. The vibe is very homey perfect for weekend brunch with family

Service and food is absolutely amazing! Great vibes. Family environment but still for everyone

Delicious food and great service. Would definitely recommend it if you are in the area. Nice clean restaurant with a good vibe.

The perfect hangover meal ! I highly recommend the tres laches pancakes and the verde chilaquiles ! Amazing !!!! There was a bunch of parking outside and I was sat down right away since we were a party of 4. Our sever was very nice and helpful in explaining the menu! I even took some to go since the portions are so big and ate it later and they were still yummy !! Can't wait to come back !! read more

Was wanting some breakfast food yesterday and found JJ's Cafe on Yelp, so a trip there was made. It was packed with a 30 min wait, but we got seated afterwards. The interior reminds of a wedding venue with tables not spread too far apart. I ordered the Crazymely Waffle (has strawberries, bananas, Nutella, and whipped cream) and O'Brien potatoes (potatoes with bell peppers and onions) with a request for crispier potatoes. I was completely blown away and not prepared in any way for how delicious these things were! The waffle was crispy yet soft. They actually added a lot of fruit on the waffle, and with the Nutella and whipped cream, I can assure you syrup is not necessary because it is sweet enough to me. The potatoes were also really crisp and salted very nicely and were not undercooked! I also had a bite of the tres leches pancake which was delicious and may be the next thing I get here! The prices here are incredible! Everything in the photos cost under $30. I only ate half the waffle and had to take the rest home. I don't think you can get high-quality food like this for low prices ($10 for the waffle was insanely cheap)! The service here was good, even if there wasn't anything memorable about it. Also, JJ's Cafe serves lunch (the catfish in particular looked real good) which I want to try one day. Overall, this cannot be the last time I come to JJ's. They are far too good to not try! This was a fabulous hole-in-the-wall type of place, and I am so glad this place is officially on my food radar. Please visit this place if you want great, cheap breakfast! I will definitely be back here sooner than later! read more

Plenty of parking. Went on a Sunday around 10am, there was 8 of us. The wait was about 30 min, not bad for a large group on the weekend. It seemed to be kind of busy. We finally sat down and the service seemed to be good, they got our drinks out quickly and the server seemed to be knowledgeable. I asked for chilaquiles verdes and asked if the chicken was shredded, he said yes so I asked him to add it. Before our food arrived there were 4 flies flying around our table (we were in the back in the corner). We asked if they could kill the flies and they said no because they might fly onto a customers plate. We asked to be moved they said we would have to wait another 30 minutes. They also said they were very aware of all the flies but couldn't do anything about it. A table opened up and we moved. When we got our food, a couple of plates were wrong. The chicken was chicken fajita strips, not shredded. When one of the plates was taken back to be fixed (birria tacos), they never brought it back. When we asked them to take it off the table they said they don't even serve birria. After we moved, we had different people coming to our table to give us service and no one knew what was going on. One server told us they didn't have salsa, then another brought salsa to our table. They also gave us our tab as soon as we got our plates. Very weird. The food was bland. Overall, not a good experience and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. read more

Early Sunday breakfast Tiki Hubby had the chicken fried steak with two eggs hash browns and sourdough toast. Not one of the best CFS but it was good served hot and fresh. I had to order the Crunchy French toast, soooo good fluffy bread covered in cornflakes and sliced almonds cooked crispy and crunchy. Delicious served with syrup but comes covered in powdered sugar so sweet enough as is. read more
