Delicious authentic Mexican food, my michelada was huge and refreshing, small but enough space to have lots of people, Mexican canciones playing in the background. Food came out fast. Good customer service. Definitely stop by on your way to Vegas! read more

I am not sure where all of these 5 star and 4 star reviews come from. The people that gave those ratings are either fake or just got used to eating caca. This place is by far the worst restaurant I have been to in my lifetime. Although almost all the restaurants in Taft are disgusting. This place takes the cake. I am including a photo of the this thing they called a plain carne asada taco. If you look at the meat it does not look like anything anyone would want to sink their teeth into. My mom took that meat home for her cats and even they looked at her and gave her the WTF look and did not eat this caca. They served my brother a plate of fish with no flavor. They gave me a campechana which normally comes in a nice red color but they gave me something that looked like it was made with Flint Michigan tap water. The bill was $105 and all of it was absolutely disgusting. Do yourself a favor and do not eat out anywhere in Taft and just drive to Bakersfield or the Casino if you are eating out. To the owners and workers here how dare you serve this crap? read more

Bacon not cooked at all in breakfast burrito, green salsa was rancid. Most food was inedible. We will be going to taco jade from now on.

The food here is amazing. The meat was perfectly cooked, the rice and beans were so tasty, and the salsa is delicious. The service was fast and friendly. read more

Love Jo's. Great people great atmosphere. Great food. Would definitely recommend. After Paiks closed, Jos got busier but not worse. Love it

We stopped by after our day visiting Carrizo plains. We didn't expect much, which is why we are pleasantly surprised! Food was delicious, decently priced and very generous in portion. The restaurant is like any Mexican diner, it is clean. Servers were friendly! There were free tortilla and salsa while waiting for our food, which came quickly. read more

Great place for Mexican food! I came with my dad and he says this is favorite spot to get food. The service here is friendly too. You can eat in or order to go. There are booths and tables available to dine in. They have a salsa bar with all your needs to add to your own plates which is super convenient when you love salsa on your food! Their salsa is so yummy! My dad had the chicken fajitas and that was so tasty and the chicken was juicy! I had two tacos, one lengua and one asada. They were great! I look forward to trying more stuff when I go back to visit. I definitely recommend this restaurant! read more

We love their food. It's always what we expect. I usually get tacos rice beans or taquitos. He always begets a burrito or fajita. And chips comes with it. Great salsa, yumm now I'm hungry. read more

Best California Rolls in town. The rest of their food is great as well. I love Thor fresh salsa and creamy chipotle sauce.

Poor customer service from cook Called in a Menudo order, lady told he it was be ready in 30 minutes. I drove there 45 minutes later and tried to order again, cook told he it was take another hour or so. I told him I just called and they told it would be ready in 30 minutes. Cook has an attitude when I told him to please give realistic time next time. Not very happy with cook some short guy I'm not sure what was his name read more

The last time I ordered a burrito they made it wrong 2 times and got it right on the third try. I just ordered a chicken, rice, tomato and cheese burrito NO BEANS and I got carne asada with rice and beans. My husband even double checked with them and they said it was just what he ordered. Wrong. It was totally wrong and it was so gross I couldn't eat it. When I called to complain they said I should have called yesterday. No apology and the girl was very rude. I'm done. Never going back! read more

I came here and got a wet burrito to go, it was good, my ultra favorite thing about this place is their salsa, it's super delish and I just wanna keep eating it lol. read more

One of the BEST Mexican restaurants in town....AND man there are a lot of them! I don't how this many similar restaurants can be supported by such a small town, but anyway, enough....On to the food! One of the best Chile Verde recipes I've had. The Chile Verde burrito is the size of a semi truck and NEVER disappoints! Make sure to get it wet, it's perfect. Next any thing with taco next it is wonderful. The different meats are similar, but just different enough that you don't get bored. There's a little salsa bar for throwing salsa on your tacos, but watch the orange one!!! Very hot!! I've also really enjoyed the appetizer type foods and the fajitas. Fajitas is a good large portion and seasoned perfectly. Enjoy that one. There's usually only one waitress, who is also the person taking the orders, oh and the person putting together the food once prepared, getting the chips and salsa ready and more and more and more! Her pay is NOT enough, but she always does it flawlessly!!! The only reason it only gets 4 stars instead of 5 is that the building needs a remodel. It's very old and dank looking. The tables and chairs need to be upgraded a bit and the AC could be a little better in the blistering hot summers, hahaha so go eat at night when it's cooler. Anyway, still worth the time it takes to get to Taft. Other Mexican style restaurants in town are pretty much the same food, different building. Hope you give it a try! Enjoy! read more

So glad to have found this place while visiting out here. The food tastes like it came from your grandmas kitchen. We ordered, taquitos plates, crispy tacos, rice and beans, menudo, nachos supreme, shrimp cocktails and micheladas. I love-love-love that the shredded beef is nice and juicy, seasoned with tomato, onion and bell peppers, yum!! So be sure to order shredded beef in your tacos, taquitos, etc. Menudo was yummy, only that it wasn't piping hot as my mom wanted. Micheladas were tasty but be prepared to add another beer into it because it is Clamato-ey/ spicy. The kids loved their nachos and shrimp cocktails. All in all very happy with this place! If you're in town be sure to stop by and support. read more

Came in on a Friday morning , smelled really good inside. The food experience was ok but not amazing. They portions are huge and they don't skimp on the meat. Considering this place is up in Taft it's actually not to bad. The service was excellent the guy was really attentive and friendly , he accommodated every special request the kids had , with no problem. I've been to this spot in the past while working in the area and the experience was about the same. The burritos are always big and the tacos are good. read more

Bomb Dizzle! Stayed in Taft for a few weeks due to work. I needed something fresh, clean and tasty. I mean the body was just asking for a reset from all the fast foods we eat while being out of time. I ordered ceviche tostadas de cámaron and pescado. I also ordered tacos from almost all of their meats. I also ordered a Tabares sushi roll and let me tell you. It was all delish! Now hold on! I didn't order all of this in one sitting. What kind of a savage do you think I am? These were multiple orders that took place over a span of 2 weeks. Not to make a king story longer but if you're ever in the mood for some bomb authentic Mexican food/mariscos you will not be disappointed with this place. They also have a self serve salsa bar inside. I hope they read this and sponsor me with yummy ceviche next time I'm in town! read more

I got a few meals here. Here in the town of Taft. And come across this little gym. You can't get fresher Mexican food in this. The owner is their to greet you. And help you with the menu if you need it. I've had a seafood plate that was awesome shrimp and garlic. The street tacos are amazing. Every time I'm in town I will be eating here. read more

I been looking for a decent taqueria in this town after living here for over a year. With the number of Mexicanos established here, I thought finding good Mexican food would be easy. The places I've tried in town weren't worth the review. I was happy to find this place which was the highest rated on Yelp, but the hours posted were incorrect, so I never went. According to the staff and their menu, they are open 7 days a week from 8am to 11pm. (Call first to be sure.) Parking can be funky and the inside is clean (although I always do take out). I love the tacos de cabeza and the nachos are made with real cheese, not the sauce (which I hate). The pollo asado and lengua used in the tacos could use more seasoning, and the carnitas were a little dry. But the number of items they offer will allow me to continue to explore more dishes. I'll update my review when I've tried more dishes. The prices are very reasonable as compared to other restaurants in town and the food is much better. The staff is friendly and the condiment bar is excellent. They are the only place I'll go to now. read more

I got the shrimp and octopus cocktail and it's AMAZING! It's huge and I started eating it before I took a picture but the flavor is great and it had a ton of sea food in it. The shrimp are huge! I also had a tripas taco and the meat was cooked perfectly. Very quick service also, especially for a call in order. read more

I've ordered a few times from this place and the food is always great. However, recently I noticed the restaurant is becoming increasingly more dirty, which is a little concerning. The floor was filthy, mind you it was not busy while I was there. And the work areas, which are viewable by the public were not as clean as I would prefer. I understand that this is a working restaurant, but if you choose to have an open layout as such, I would expect it to be clean. Also service is meh at best. This time the lady took my order while also on the phone. Weird. I would love to give them a better review because the food is worth it, but for the reasons above I cannot justify it. read more

On the way to Carrizo Plain we stopped here for lunch. I got the 3 chicken taco special with rice and beans, she got a veggie burrito , which was filled with grilled broccoli, cauliflower, avocado and the usual suspects. We also ordered a couple micheladas with Modelo Especial. All for $23 and change. Super solid. Salsa was delicious and the orange one was crazy Spicy. I really wish we had Mexican food like this is LA. Will definitely return. read more

Change the hours info! We had a great time and almost missed it 'cuz both Yelp and Google Maps say you close at 6 pm. (They actually close at midnight on Saturdays.) read more

Tried this place from a catering event, the food is amazingly good and their salsa is by far the best salsa I have tried!

They literally make the best tacos de cabeza in town and not only are their tacos delicious but their customer service is outstanding. Today i went to go get my favorite tacos for taco Tuesday and they mistakenly gave me the wrong tacos to go however once i told them they said there was no problem and replaced the tacos with no extra hassle and no extra charge. They have delicious salsa as well as a friendly staff. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants great tasting tacos! read more

The food is good, however the cook was sweating all over the food last time I was there and wiping his face with a rag but never stopped to clean his hands. The cooks are nice guys and I know it gets hot back there but it did gross me out. The women working there are extremely rude and have always been this way but I put up with them because food tasted so good. Maybe sweat is a secret ingredient? I ordered take out and needed several salsas. The woman working behind the cash register was like always being rude and non helpful. I treat people good and respect and common courtesy is important. I also heard way too many stories of people doing gross stuff to food so I'm exceptionally polite to who ever is handling my food and tip well. I politely asked for a bag because we had quite a bit of food and it was going to be difficult to juggle the food and salsa. She told me they don't just give bags away and charged us $1.50 for a single extremely thin bag, the type that tear really easy. I crave their food from time to time but that last distasteful experience there finally broke me and I just can't bring myself to go there again. Food is 5 stars but cleanliness and service bring it down to a 2. read more
