" JJ's Mexican Food has quickly become my go-to for authentic Mexican flavors. I can highly recommend their pozole – it’s delicious and authentic, possibly the best I've had outside of my mom's kitchen. The staff is always friendly, and I appreciate how the restaurant is consistently clean. I do wish the prices weren't so high at times, though, as my last bill was a bit steep for just two meals. Otherwise, a fantastic experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Unfortunately, my experience at JJ's was not what I had hoped for. The food was decent but didn't have the authenticity I expect from a Mexican restaurant. The enchiladas were overloaded with cheese, which overshadowed any other flavor. However, the service was friendly, and the place was clean. I might give it another shot, but I hope for a more authentic flavor experience next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the pleasure of dining at JJ's recently, and it exceeded all my expectations. The molejetes was mouthwatering, and my partner loved their seafood soup. The environment was family-oriented and welcoming, very indicative of authentic Mexican dining. We even struck up a nice conversation with the owner, who was enthusiastic about their food. This will definitely be my go-to spot whenever I am in Salem. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited JJ's Mexican Food during a busy Friday night, and while I had to wait for a table, it was well worth it. The food was outstanding, especially the shrimp enchiladas, which were packed with fresh shrimp and came in a delicious sauce. The service was a bit on the slower side, but the staff were incredibly polite. The ambiance can get a little loud but that just adds to the lively atmosphere. This place truly feels like a family-run gem. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place has become a staple for our family gatherings. The last time we visited, we tried various dishes and were blown away by the flavors. Particularly, the camarones a la diabla was spicy but delightful. The kids loved the quesadillas, and they even provide generous portions for a fair price. The staff is always welcoming, making it a pleasant place to dine. Highly recommend for anyone in Salem! " (*Curated Review*)

" While JJ's is decent and has some good offerings, I was a bit disappointed with my last visit. The tacos I ordered were small and overpriced compared to other places in town, and I expected a bit more authenticity, especially since this is highly-rated. The service was friendly but my dish took quite long to arrive. I might consider other places before I come back. " (*Curated Review*)
