I ordered delivery and it was amazing. But then I came in person and the back room smelled so bad I can't come back.

Cute little restaurant with a friendly staff.I ordered steak nachos. They were terrible. The bits of steak were dry, hard, and tasteless. The platter tasted like burnt chips with beans and congealed cheese. Watery salsas were served on the side. Not sure I'd risk spending my money here again.

Ordered delivery. Food is okay. Nothing special. Steak tacos were somewhat flavorful but a bit dry. Chicken tacos were not flavorful and dry. The chicken quesadilla was not great. The plantains were fine.

Service was lovely, the place was meh on cleanliness but the food was honestly subpar and not exactly inexpensive as other reviewers suggested. I had the carne asada and the meat was clearly not marinated for very long (if at all). There was very little flavor to it and it was a small quantity. It was 1/4 meat and 3/4 onions (not even a single bell pepper). The side of rice and beans was also lacking in flavor but the fried plantains were tasty... though they only gave me 5 slices. I was also disappointed by the portion to price ratio for the chips and salsa. I had high hopes for this venue and was sincerely disappointed. Though I will say the woman at the register was lovely.

This place is definitely underrated! When I tell you the authenticity of this food and the flavors!!! you would have been blown away! They had a nice seating area and they had so many different sauces, all the meat was juicy and tender. The tacos were full of meat and I loved all of the accompaniments.Birria Taco was my favorite! It was so cheesy and full of meat! The consommé was super juicy as well and I loved the flavors. I think it was some of the best I had!I really like the tortillas to they were soft and fluffy you could tell they were freshly made. I'm definitely planning to go back. The staff was so nice! After we left, they even gave us a coupon, because we were just talking with them about our experience.

Located along Georgia Avenue N.W. in Brightwood is a family-owned restaurant called J & J Mex-Taqueria. With tie-tied floors, the menu is full of tacos, burritos and other Mexican favorites. I went for lunch on a Wednesday in December 2021. Here's my experience:1) Food: They serve breakfast (sandwiches and tacos), lunch and dinner. If you go for lunch or dinner, you can't go wrong on any of their tacos. A single taco ranges between $3.25 and $4 and comes in corn or flour tortillas. I ordered three chorizo tacos on flour tortillas Mexican style (onions and cilantro) and it filled me up. They were full of flavor so much that they didn't need salsa. (They have medium and hot salsa in case you want it.)2) Service: It's quick and friendly. Once I downed my three tacos, one of the workers laughed that I must have enjoyed it because I ate them so fast. Yes, it's true. They were soooo good.3) Space: It's a small space with colorful walls, floor and art on its walls. A public restroom is in the way back. It's kept clean and tables are frequently wiped down.4) Location: It's on a strip with plenty of other food options, but J&J is one of he best! 5) Parking: It can be harder to find along busy George Avenue NW, but I found easy street parking a few blocks away at 9th and Sheridan Ave NW.Open daily, except for Sunday, it's a worthy contender for a go-to lunch or dinner spot.

I am home sick and just needed something tasty as comfort food. I had been craving nachos and looked up options for delivery. Lo and behold, J & J has nachos that don't break the bank and are tasty. I'm a fan of keeping simple food simple but they managed to do that while making very tasty nachos. It also included three sauces which kicked up the flavor. The delivery arrived super quick and was accurate so 10/10 for service.

Previously had excellent experiences and the food was great! This time, the shrimp tasted like it had been cooked in old oil. Also, the fish taco looked like this....I will not eat this taco.
