    Friday's Bill

    The coffee was made fresh to order. The staff was attentive to the order. The house salsa was excellent with roasted garlic highlighting the flavor. The beans were ok nothing spectacular. The rice was good, however a little heavy-handed with the cumin. Enchiladas were good: could use more sauce with flavor. I have frequented over the years. The one noticeable thing were the portions . They have replaced the oval plates with platters designed with a "bowl appearance." I would imagine to help the plate look more full. Best advice is to turn in a gas station and proceed to the parking area behind it. it parking tricky since it's up against the freeway in Valley Boulevard tends to be divided by a concrete island. I do recommend the salsa and chips and something to take home because they're that good..

    Very rustic exterior of the structure !!! Cozy and Homey feeling inside once you enter the restaurant! The chosen theme of their interior decor was variety of vibrant colors potteries displayed on wall shelve There is outdoor seating! Food were flavorful with the authentic Mexican fare! Hubby had the taco birria and I gobbled on the 2 chile rellenos with sides of rice and beans. Service was great !

    Sweetheart and I came in for late lunch . It's been years since we've been here and can't remember how food tastes like anymore. Super warm and friendly reception. Very good service. Staff (Gabby) helpful and accommodating. Comfortable and at home ambiance. We were served with crunchy tortilla chips and mild salsa to munch on as a starter (fast quick service). I ordered quesabirria and sweetheart had chile relleno. Both came with rice and beans on very hot plates (loved it). Food flavorful, delicious and enjoyable. Surely a place to come again. A worthwhile revisit.

    A Taco Treasure for over 50 Years! We have been coming to Taco Joe's Mexican Restaurant for well over 50 years, and it has always been a wonderful experience--but today was truly something special. We were celebrating my husband's birthday, and from start to finish, everything was above and beyond. The Queen Size Deluxe Burrito--a longtime favorite--never disappoints. It's always packed with flavor, generous in size, and cooked to perfection. But today I noticed something new on the menu: Quesabirrias Tacos. Wow! If you are a fan of birria, you must try them. These tacos are out-of-this-world delicious--crispy, cheesy, and filled with juicy, flavorful meat. They're a new favorite for sure! Cuca, the owner, is absolutely fabulous. She's always there with a warm smile and goes out of her way to make sure everyone leaves happy and full. Her pride in the restaurant shows in every dish and detail. Mary, our server today, was phenomenal. Attentive, kind, and truly went the extra mile to make our celebration special. Taco Joe's isn't just a restaurant--it's a family tradition, a place full of heart, and a shining example of what great food and genuine hospitality look like. I can't recommend it highly enough!

    My friends and I had our last outing of the year the day we had lunch here. I missed the entrance, initially (the place is next to, and, kind of behind, a Chevron). I should've made a U-turn down the road, and doubled back, but followed the directions on my navigation app, and went on I-15, which took me to an off-ramp that dropped me off...right next to the sign for...Taco Joes... The place was busy, which told me the place was a solidly popular place to eat. Inside, the walkways were kind of narrow, but, you can pass someone easily. Noise level was typical for a busy restaurant. The booths were, not cramped, but, cozy, from what I saw(my friends and I had our own private section). Our section had a long banquet table, with chips & salsa at the ready, and menus were available right then and there. The servers were nice, and were right there with refills for our beverages. I ordered the burrito bowl with carne asada, while one of my friends ordered the carnitas, and another of my friends ordered the chimichangas. The burrito bowl I ordered had the best carne asada I've ever tasted! Anytime a dish causes you to raise your eyebrows, you know it's that good. There were enough ingredients piled onto, and into, my entree that I could(and did) get a bit creative, and do the chip & dip with the chips & salsa. Did I mention that the chips were homemade? Because they were warm whenever we got more. The salsa was delicious, as well. I'm a chunky salsa kind of guy, but was pleased with both the chips and salsa. Overall, we were all pleased with our food, and, the next time we're in the area, Taco Joes is getting our business!

    Had dinner here today. It never disappoints. Danellia provided great and quickly service, and food is amazing as well. Don't think twice of coming down and trying their food. You won't regret it.

    I used to be a regular taco Joe's in Redlands or Colton. I don't know which city it was in next to the golf course. What happened to the restaurant? Does anybody know I ate there for years and it was the best?

    It's permanently closed but you can still go to the one in Rialto. It is owned by the same people and they still have great food. It is on Valley Boulevard and Riverside Avenue right on the corner.

    Random question but does any know what oil they use to cook?

    Vegetable oil and Manteca

    I go to taco Joe's in highland never been to the one in Rialto how is it?

    I typically love this place and their buffalo chicken salad, but they said the wait was "30-45…read moreminutes" when we signed in at first. Then after 30-45 minutes, I asked how long was left, we are told that we're next, a big party of about 10 walks in moments later. I ask again, she says it will be 20 minutes because they are barely eating, I'm so surprised and confused. My party of 6 left to go home and order take out for Mother's Day breakfast/ brunch at 10: 55 am. I hope they can add maybe an umbrella outside or a tree for the future it's 78 Fahrenheit outside, not too bad if you're in the shade.

We ordered to go, and also ate at th e restaurant. Pleased at all times. Their breakfasts were outstanding. We enjoyed the Mexican food very much. I have to say one of the very best meals was the pot roast! Excellent!! Vegetables were very good and choice of potatoes. Were yummy. We had a choice of bread. The corn bread was really good. They packed it very well, and the amount. Of food was enough for two meals! Very pleased with Sammy's and will continue to eat at Sammy's. We are anxious to try their buffet on the weekends. We go to the buffet in redlands often. Happy to have a buffet close by. In calimesa. See u soon.

The latte was decent, it would've been perfect if it wasn't watered down (the ice hadn't melted at all, so it wasn't due to the ice). The employee at the register was unwelcoming, appearing very bored throughout our entire interaction. She was somewhat helpful when I asked for a recommendation and what ingredients were in the sandwich, however, she seemed irritated that I even asked. The cafe was quiet, clean, and beautifully decorated showcasing local artists and events. It was chilly due to the AC, however, it was tolerable in a T-shirt; I would recommend bring a jacket inside. Unfortunately, I had to minus 1 star for the service (which was surprising due to the positive reviews... maybe today was an off-day?) but otherwise it was a good experience!
