    Order of 3 Premium Tacos
    Berenice S.

    The carnita tacos are always 10/10 try it with the jalapeño salsa, grilled onions and lime! Tsssss The pastor is greasy, but it tastes okay. The fried avocado isn't good, the waitress convinced us to try it and it's not the biz. Happy hour special is 3 tacos for $6.50 if I'm not mistaken, it's worth it if you get the good kinds. The chips and salsa are 10/10 too.

    I had a fantastic take out experience! I was impressed with the many options from the menu and the largeness of the space. The hostess was engaging and was ready to serve as soon as I arrived. There was diverse seating options if I chose to stay. I had no idea what deliciousness awaiting me. Let me tell you the all of the tacos the meat was seasoned and tortillas were fresh. I also enjoyed the Mexican slaw and the different sauces. My favorite sauce had peppers and mango fruit! Oh yes I will return!

    So I saw a suggestion on a FB page and JJ's happened to be about a mile from our house. Several people talked about how great the food was. So we have it a shot in a Thursday night. This place is really nice inside. Lots of TV's mounted on the walls and plenty of room. It wasn't terribly busy this night but we were seated in a booth and then our super friendly waiter was over pretty quick to get our drink order. We heard great things about the chips. They weren't kidding. We had a big basket of fresh and tasty chips delivered with some good salsa. Decided to try the guacamole and glad we did. They are generous with their portions. Very good guacamole too. I ordered the steak Asada enchiladas with refried beans, Mexican rice and the quest sauce. My wife ordered pretty much the same but with the burrito. Honestly it was just ok. The quest sauce was so thick it overpowered the enchiladas and the meat was just ok. The rice didn't have much taste and the beans were just ok. My wife said the same about her burrito. That queso sauce is just super thick. They forgot to put her beans on the plate too. Overall it was just ok. Not great and not bad.

    I opened my quesadilla to find this. Joooocy STEAK EVERYWHERE!

    Hi Yelpmates. Hope you're all healthy and happy, or at least ..in pursuit of.. Oh sure it gets difficult, but it's possible. Back from Florida at last and I have a beef already. Well not 'a' beef, but lots of it. Juicy, tender, seasoned beef. Yes. Right inside a stuffed creation too good to just be a simple quesadilla. Went to JJs taco shop in the mall. No. This is not mall food or close. This spot should be brick and mortar like Unle Julios or any other big spot. Their flavors are too big for the mall. This que had tons of steak. Probably twice the portion you get at Pappasitas and a few other top spots with their own roof. This was seasoned, seared, and onions and peppers were just as boldly prepped. The shell? Buttery, toasted on the grill. Cheese? Yes please, lots. It was like an order within an order bought elsewhere. I took a pic of one part opened up. All that's meat, onions, cheese, peppers, more meat. Lawd Steakmercy! I didn't ask for it to be that loaded. They just feed us like were family here. It could feed a couple. I didn't finish. Couldn't and this was my first meal today waiting for it. Chips and salsa to accompany. They season and heat the chips. That is going the extra mile to be better than you expect, but deserve. Have been here many times, but each time, I just feel like they're getting better. So let's talk tip guilt. I usually don't tip unless they offer sit down service, or are family owned. This is family. Why the guilt? Because I tipped in advance to go. Got home and the food flavor and portion exceeded my tip. I felt like I should have pulled out the stops so tomorrow I'm going back to correct this travesty. I tip good. They cooked better, exceedingly better. My taste buds made me feel bad about my tip. Ever had a moment like this? If yes, it's because you have good values, and appreciate workers and businesses that take pride in what they do. Feeding someone is supposed to be intimate. Most experiences eating out don't feel intimate because pride is gone in so many places we dine. No connection between them, their food offering, and the customer. Not at JJs. It's abundantly clear they want you to know a real person cooked for you, and just you. Not a corporate focus or ethos to cut corners, but customer centered, person focused. Every time, every detail. I don't even want to brush my teeth just yet savoring what just happened. Imma wait on it bout an hour or so. Any sooner would be disrespectful. Anywho. Love yourself people. Love live love yourself. Take care of yourself, your loved ones, your community. Share in the struggle even if you did okay, retired early, and don't have too many struggles. Share the struggle for your community. I'm a disabled veteran. I have hella struggles. Sharing here on Yelp is an outlet of sorts. I get to prove to myself I got out of my head for a moment and did a positive thing, even if it was only a meal. I got out there, again, and didn't cave to shuttering the windows and staying in my head. You can do this as well. You can. And when you do, come back here and share with us. We read your experiences and get to be a part of your life for a second. Those add up. Take care. Be well.

    It's Sunday funday time.

    Wings and elote FTW!!! Miranda always takes care of our family. 10/10. And the beer is nice and cold on a college football Saturday.

    We had to try this place because it's so close to home! The margs were good and we enjoyed the shrimp tacos and elote!

    Finally went to JJ's for the first time after hearing my friends RAVE about this place...and now I can see why they love it so much! The food was tasty, drinks on point, and good energy inside the restaurant. I will be back to try more food soon!! Also the salsa was 10/10 and I'm super picky about my chips & salsa

    Salsa is good, just a little heat that comes after. Chips are seasoned.
    Joyce C.

    We visit JJ's for the first time today. The salsa was good, you got the heat on your tongue a bit after and the chips were seasoned. We started with the homemade mozzarella sticks. They were good, served with homemade sauce for dipping. The kids plate code with fries and a drink. It was a nice plate for the $. My husband had three tacos, the pastor, carnitas and chicken and I had chicken and carnitas. Our favorite was the carnitas. However, we both noted they were not warm and dry. Will definitely go back to try something else on the menu.

    The BAR is incredible !

    I found this spot from a local recommendation, the kind that comes with confidence and a smile,…read moreswearing these street tacos were the real deal. I'll admit, I was skeptical. I've eaten a lot of tacos in my time. But some bites have a way of humbling you. This one did. I ordered the street tacos with barbacoa. Corn tortillas layered with melted cheese, another tortilla laid gently on top, then crowned with rich, slow-cooked meat. Simple ingredients, intentional hands. The first bite landed heavy -- comforting, soulful, and loud in all the right ways. These tacos slapped harder than Babe Ruth sending one out of the park. And the real kicker? The smile on her face as she watched me take that first bite -- the kind that says, "I told you so," without needing to say a word. She knew she was right. The service matched the food -- warm, polite, unhurried. That small-town kind of kindness where you're treated like you belong, even if it's your first time through the door. No rush, no attitude, just genuine care. Some places feed you. Others stay with you. Taqueria Temo does both. I'll be back.

    An excellent Mexican restaurant. A hole in the wall kind of place, minimum service, not speaking…read moremuch English (I asked what is each meat, but the person struggled to explain to me in English). The price is fair and good portion size. I got the 4 tacos and throughly enjoyed every bite of it. It's a pretty small restaurant, if you are looking for nice environment to have a conversation, you may be disappointed, but if you are looking for great food with decent price point, here is your place.

The interior and exterior of Buena Vida is warm and inviting. The staff were friendly and quick with our order. There are plenty of areas to sit and their menu offers a variety of options. I opted for the barbacoa and chipotle lime tacos with a side of borracho beans. The beans were flavorful and paired well with the yummy tacos. My friend enjoyed her tacos as well. My meal satisfied me without feeling stuffed. I look forward to my next visit.

They're your typical trendy taco place, with their own selection of merchandise and crazy/cheesy jokes strewn about on t-shirts and signage. They have an ample bar space, but it looked like only one patron was interested in that; the rest of us were there to eat. You order your food at the counter and get a buzzer to come back and pick it up. The staff is friendly enough, but you don't really interact with them much since it's all pretty much self service after you go to the counter. The drink station has cane sugar based sodas; it's a bit heavy on the foam, but otherwise good. We opted for the birria pizza, a couple of cups of pozole, and a side of elote. Everything was solid. The elote was good, not great, but the pozole really hit the spot given how cold it was outside. The birria pizza is what blew me away, though. This was easily one of the most unique, but tasty, things I've ever had. It's not really a pizza, more like a topped quesadilla, but they did a great job of it. I'd not only come back here next time I'm in Fort Worth, I'd be interested in opening a location in Houston if I had the money to franchise it.
