The trays were generously packed, and every bite was absolutely delicious. I cannot thank this restaurant enough for helping make our event such a success. The food was fresh, flavorful, and enjoyed by everyone who attended. I highly recommend Joe's Downtown Tacos for anything from a casual dining experience to a large-scale catered event. Their quality, service, and attention to detail were outstanding, and they handled everything beautifully. Thank you, Joe's Downtown Tacos, for providing such a wonderful experience for our guests!

Walked into the sounds of tejano music, so cool! Two seating areas, we chose the bar side, with the festively decorated bar. Mini piñatas and greenery put us into a great mood, lifted our road weary spirits. Ordered two Coronas with lime, we just wanted something light and familiar. Chips and salsa on the house came out with our brews. Simple salsa, but hit the spot. Thick chips, my fav kind. Menus extensive but not Cheesecake Factory crazy. Ordered tacos, since that appears to be a specialty. Steak milanesa, chile relleno, and mashed potato tacos were too interesting not to try. Also ordered the queso, a warm creamy white dip that went nicely with the salsa. Faint bite, so if you like things hot, add one of the hot sauces, which are placed on every table. Super friendly staff all around, always a bonus. Also, place was very clean, all tables neat and wiped down, very nice. Looked around while waiting for our tacos and noticed some great murals on the walls. Also noticed the huge tequila collection behind the bar. Ordered our food in to go containers since we planned to take most back to our hotel. But we had to sample hot first! So all the tacos were good. Beans and rice were simple and authentic, excellent! The mashed potato came in a crispy fried shell, light and delicious. The milanesa was also yummy. But the star was the chile relleno taco! Nice bite and so good! Fun experience at Joe's. Hope we can make it back sometime. Muy delicioso!

We came in because of a suggestion of a volunteer at The Visitors Center at Indiana Dunes National…read morePark. It did not disappoint. From the moment we parked, we were greeted by some friendly people outside. We walked in on the bar side and were directed to the dining side. Even with being on the restaurant sode, you coupd not hear the bar sode activity, so it was perfect if you have kids and want to have conversations. The bar side, even though we didn't hang out over there, had pool tables, a big bar area and Golden Tee. Theresa, our server, came right over and offered drinks. Fireball special on Tuesdays? Yes, please! I then told her we were from St. Louis, and shockingly (not really), there was a connection. She has family members that live in St. Louis! She recommended the tacos and burger so we naturally got 1 of each, along with a side of tots! Everything was wonderful! You do get free chips and salsa with any entrée, but the salsa really didn't have any flavor. Theresa also told us about their breakfast, but our hotel had complimentary breakfast. We should have listened to Theresa and went there. Oh well, there is always next time!

What a great gem! Our waitress was Nina (not sure if I am spelling that right as her name is…read morepronounced, Nine-ah). She was freaking awesome! I couldn't decide what soup I wanted...choices were a mushroom soup or New England clam chowder. She brought me out samples of both! Who does that?!? The clam chowders loaded with clams but just not like I have had at the shore. I chose the mushroom soup and I'm telling you, this soup would rival the soup from Kennett Square, PA...the mushroom Capital of the World! Met the owner, Leroy. Super nice guy! Biker friendly bar. Will stop back on our way to Sturgis!

I got a side of sweet potato tots and it came with homemade honey mustard that was excellent! My husband got the fries which were really tasty - they were homemade and super crispy and delicious. I liked both but the fries were way good! My son loved his kids burger and my daughter got the grilled cheese which she said was good as well. It's a small restaurant but very unique and cool on the inside.

After exploring the Indiana Dunes State Park we stopped in for a bite to eat. The place was really…read moreclean and it had a quaint atmosphere. There a little bar area and an outside patio. It wasn't that busy on a Friday afternoon. I got the BLT and fries, it was good but I had to take out the piece of toast in the middle, they could probably do away with that. My husband's chicken bacon avocado sandwich was enough for two. You could probably split it if you ordered an extra side. My mother in law ordered the same sandwich and they both agreed that it could use some sauce or maybe even some of their aioli, you could probably order some on the side. My father in law got the pulled pork. He is a picky eater and he said it was good. He didn't like the cole slaw, it wasn't tart enough for him. I don't like cole slaw anyways so I couldn't give you my opinion. The server was attentive and professional. We enjoyed our meal.
