" My family decided to give J & J's a shot and we weren't disappointed! The varied menu had something for everyone. Their verde salsa is exceptional with a delightful tang to it. Portions were ample, which made it great for sharing. However, our server forgot one of our sides, which detracted from the experience a bit but overall, it was enjoyable. I’d recommend this to anyone looking for a good meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been a regular at J & J's for a couple of months now and every visit still surprises me. The carne asada is always tender and juicy, while the cilantro on top really lifts the dish. Despite it sometimes feeling a bit cramped during peak hours, the staff manages to keep the energy positive and welcoming. The prices are reasonable, especially the taco Tuesday specials, which are just unbeatable. If you love authentic Mexican food, this place is a must-try! " (*Curated Review*)

" Excellent place for authentic Mexican cuisine! I visited while on vacation and was blown away by their ceviche. Bright and fresh, unlike anything I had back home. Portion sizes were generous, keeping my stomach happy! Seating was adequate, though it was busy when we went, so be prepared for a lively atmosphere. The service was satisfactory, and they made us feel welcomed. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" I tried the breakfast burrito after hearing rave reviews, and let me tell you, it did not disappoint! It was HUGE and packed with flavor. The balance of eggs, cheese, and earthy salsa was perfect. Plus, the chill vibe in the restaurant makes it comfortable to enjoy your meal. The only downside was the slight delay in service, but seeing the food was fresh made it worth the wait. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" Very impressed by the quality of J & J's food! Tried their chilaquiles and they were-so-good! Perfectly cooked with just the right amount of spice and topped with cheese. The place is a bit on the small side, and it gets busy fast, but that just shows how great the food is! Friendly service, with staff who genuinely seem to enjoy their jobs. I will be coming back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" J & J's offers an authentic taste of Mexico, especially with their salsas being a highlight of my visit. The guacamole was fresh and I especially enjoyed the spiciness of the red salsa. However, the seating felt a bit cramped when it’s busy, which might affect the dining experience. Service was friendly but slightly slow when the restaurant was full. Overall, the food quality makes it worth the visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the chance to dine at J & J's during dinner and thoroughly enjoyed my experience. The carne asada burrito was massive, filled with perfectly cooked meat and flavor! I appreciated how they used high-quality ingredients, making the meal even more special. The staff was helpful but seemed overwhelmed during dinner peak, which affected service speed. Still, the food made up for that. Definitely a place to remember! " (*Curated Review*)
