    Jonesy's has been around forever (or at least since I was a kid, which was forever ago), and while they're a little unassuming and divey, they do have some tasty options (those puffy tacos!) My husband and I visited Jonesy's recently after not having been there for quite a while. The decor is the exact same as what I remember from long ago, with sombreros and maracas on the walls. There are a few booths along the front window and along the side wall, as well as a few free-standing tables in the middle of restaurant. The booths (at least the ones along the windows) are all connected between the backs, so you definitely feel every move of the people in the booth behind you. If that's something that bothers you, I would sit at a normal table. The bar has wooden cupboards like a classic old kitchen, and is full of cool mugs, which I hope are there for regular customers and they get to keep their mugs there :-) When you pop in to eat, you seat yourself, and one of the wait staff comes to take your order. The waitress we had on our last visit was super nice and patient with us as we ordered way too much food. We started with the Beef Nachos, which came with LOTS of cheese on top of the beef and chips, which was great. The only one way to improve the base item is to ask for salsa, to cut that cheesy beefiness a little bit. Simple to ask for and makes it perfect! I ordered the Combo #4, which included two beef enchiladas, and one beef fried taco. The way Jonesy's does the fried tacos makes them into the puffy taco style, that is so so good. The beef is cooked like the old style loose meat sandwiches, and the cheese on top is bomb, almost tasting like finely shredded Velveeta. I got a side of the Smiley Fries, because I'm an adult with a very refined palate, and hadn't had these since Valentino's stopped doing their buffet. Jonesy's version is SO good and fried up excellent. The smiley shape makes it honestly taste better than normal fries, with so many places (the eye holes, the smile) for crispiness to hide. My husband definitely stole a few of these and almost ordered his own basket. For his entree, he had the Chicken Enchilada, at the suggestion of our waitress. The beef enchiladas I had were good but the chicken gives it a different texture where beef kind of melds together with the tortilla and sauce. We both got beans and rice on the side of our dishes. The rice is like Spanish Rice, so it does have a good flavor, and the beans have the delicious shredded cheese on them too. At the end of the meal, the server brings you your check and you pay up front. This is where there is one last thing you need to snag before you pay - the brownies at the front! They are homemade, scrumptious, airy little squares of chocolate heaven. I'd say this is a good Tex-Mex option in the midtown area, check you should definitely check it out if you are a fan of divey, classic, greasy spoon spots.

    Came here for taco Tuesday and got a few tacos to go. It's a great deal you get tacos for 2.50 a piece. I tried the beef and chicken both were good but i thought the beef was better. I'll be back again when I'm in the mood for some puffy tacos at a great price!

    I can't tell you how many times we pass Jonesy's while traveling 60th St, but we finally stopped in after galavanting around the Florence/Ft Calhoun area. Honestly... their food didn't blow air up my skirt. It was, so-so. Thankful they had the "puffy taco" shells, and a non-meat version for some folks who choose not to eat meat but perhaps they taste bomb when you're a few sheets to the wind. I snagged the bean taco, and T tried their beef taco and chicken taco - add a side of rice and beans to share. The refried beans, more than likely from a can (and that's fine), their rice was hard and chewy in some places and had an odd chemical taste (to me, at least. T didn't get the same taste I experienced) to them. More "salsa" (vs chemical) taste was his take away from the rice. Their mild salsa was runny and didn't fair much of a taste. The shredded chicken had a good spice to it, a lot of it. The ground beef was seasoned well, not too many spices, also a TON of it which makes the bottom of the taco soggy, and empties out. Now the FRIED ICE CREAM... 100/10. Finally corn flakes that aren't a hundred years old, stale, and chewy. It had a caramelized, candied coated ball of vanilla. Which sat in a cinnamon sugar dusted bowl of goodness, topped with whipped cream from can. Which in and of itself, is worth going back for!

    We have had takeaway tacos from Jonesy's a few times and decided to eat in. Bookguy loves the tacos because they are so stuffed with beef, lettuce, tomatoes, and cheese, that when he finishes his basket of three, the overflow filling is like another taco without the shell. This time he assumed I wanted a bean burrito, and ordered that. I changed it by saying, "This time I'll try an enchilada ". Neither of us specified beans or what size and the server didn't clarify. The enchilada placed in front of me was enormous and seemed to be only beef with a generous coating of cheese and a tasty sauce. My fault for not clarifying bean. I ate it anyway, and it was really good. I especially liked the sauce. Bookguy ate the other half the next day and thought it was salty. We also had a mixed chip basket with guacamole. I would get just flour chips next time because I liked how they paired with the guacamole, which was great. I think the pricing is very good too. I had a margarita, which was maybe just a little light on the tequila, but still refreshing. Next time I will try something vegetarian for sure.

    This is a place packed full of regulars during lunch. The server was working the whole dining room and knew many people by name. We asked her what to order as newbies and she gave lots of suggestions. The #7 is popular she said, one taco one enchilada. She also mentioned the special was a hot beef sandwich. Kind of funny because I thought it was strictly Mexican dishes. The tacos were awesome. The chili was more of a stew to me. Huge chunks of beef and enough spice to make you sweat a little. The enchiladas were really good. The cheese on top reminded me of something I ate when I was little. They also have a nice little kids menu, complete with chicken fingers and smiley fries. Glad we stopped.

    These are the most delicious puffy tacos around! I especially liked the beef, and the shell texture is perfectly balanced as light and fluffy with just a bit of crisp, melts in your mouth! Same goes for the chips, and delicious margarita while you wait! Don't skip the Funnel Fries, only downside is you can't eat just one! Very friendly staff!

    This is usually a great place but yesterday their brown enchilada sauce was too salty and not as flavorful as usual. I tried their tamale for the first time and it was ok. Their chips are awful. And so was the beef taco. Maybe it was just an off day.

    A peek inside.

    The food was very unseasoned; very bland. I'd rather eat at romeo's if i wanted white mexican food.

    Not very well put together, seems like it was reheated and served again. Chips were stale.

    very rude staff. I should have known based on their childish FB posts. Food is about the same as Taco Bell but with less flavor.

Normally I'd get the birria tacos which is just tacos. No sides come with that. All street tacos are sold individually. I am not saying the food isn't good, but I believe it is overpriced. Going now to Clase Codigo where their prices are reasonable for the amount of food you receive to actually fill you up and more. I feel this restaurant is successful because of the location. It is in Blackstone which is a high traffic area. If it wasn't in Blackstone I don't think it would be popular. Service is always fast and the servers seem nice! I feel like they are always so busy. Restaurant is clean! Love the water pitcher you are served! Food has always been yummy!
