I called in an order for pickup and was quoted 15 minutes. I left my house 15 minutes after calling in my order. When I paid for my food I said it was a phoned in order for pickup, but was not told my food was ready. I stood around waiting for about 30 more minutes while other people who walked up and ordered after me got their orders before me. When I walked up to the window to check on my order, the woman at the window said my order had been ready. I said you didn't tell me it was ready or call my name. She stated she was calling me for 5 minutes which I will say is not true at all, because everyone she called was a number and all orders were picked up. I said my food has been sitting and I wasn't told it was ready when I paid. The woman had no cares and only repeated that she did call me. When I got home, my food was cold and was made incorrectly. Service was rude, not consistent and food was not prepared how ordered. I will not return. read more

Server Dalia was very friendly. Many items to choose from. Parking is decent. Had the burrito with beans, egg, and potatoes and had the red sauce was very tasty. Thanks again for a great visit. read more

*** Cash only with ATM available *** J & S is one of the oldest Mexican grab-and-go food spots in this part of the neighborhood and was established in 1967. The ordering & pick-up windows open 24 hours & 7 days per week. I usually just stop by the next-door shop Ground Up Coffee and never pay extra attention to this spot, but hey it's 2023 so I decided to give this place a shot. J & S has a designated parking lot and this spot is supposedly known for breakfast burritos (ham, bacon, or sausage.) Please note adding guacamole, source cream, cheese, or bacon = extra charge. I got my order fairly quickly (less than 5 minutes.) *** Bacon breakfast burrito ($6.95): Generous portion and enough to fill me up, but it was just mostly potato and egg. Given how expensive eggs are in January 2023 I am not complaining, but In terms of taste it was mediocre at best. *** Other than convenience and good value, I just can't see other good reasons to come here again. read more

CASH ONLY!!! I've been going to J&S since high school. So this place is very nostalgic for me. I remember coming here after activities and in the morning for breakfast burritos. So it's been a go to for long time. And now I come here for late night eats and still for their breakfast burritos. Their breakfast burritos are very filling and hearty. I have always preferred sausage as my protein. But I have tried the bacon and ham. All are good. For late night eats, I usually get the taquitos or enchiladas. It can get crowded at night but they are usually pretty quick at getting orders out. It's a small place with a few tables in the front. Parking is available behind. Most people just order and take it to go. read more

Tried the guacamole fries with cheese last time and really enjoyed it. Will try the nachos next time. Great service even at 3am. Nice place to grab a quick bite. read more

This place is a long-time staple of the Monterey Park/Montebello area. A small building located on a busy street, the restaurant has parking in the back for around 10-15 cars (including some handicap spots). This usually doesn't get filled up since most people come here just to grab and go, although there are seats for small parties who choose to eat there. There is no indoor section, and to my knowledge, no public restroom either. You order at the window and wait for your order to be called, which usually takes around 5-15 minutes depending on your order size and how busy it is at the time. The restaurant serves a mix of Mexican and American plates, mostly handheld, on the go type of items. Prices are very reasonable, portion sizes are respectable, and the taste is above average. While nothing stands out as over-the-top amazing, there aren't any bad things about this place either. This is a place for any occasion, and a place I hope stays in business long enough for me to visit for every occasion. read more

Been coming here for many years. But wanted something a little different. I asked them if I could get a special quesadilla, but instead of pastrami or beef, I had them substitute bacon! It was a little more but after years of the regular special quesadilla, it was a game changer! read more

Burritos are great but idk how they constantly mix up orders. I'm a vegetarian and I've been served a meat burrito twice now. I'm done trying to go here at this point. read more

I would always come here in high school to get breakfast burritos before school back in early 2010s. It's 2025 and I'm in the area drunk af looking for a food spot, I find J&S! Again. They now accept card which is a huge plus now! I got the chorizo burrito with guac late at night around 2am and was so good! I also got the chili cheese fries and loved that they came with Monterey Jack instead of cheddar! I wanted to make sure the food was actually delicious so I got drunk again late at night and ate my food in the morning hungover the 2nd time! And wow the burrito was still soft and not too greasy, usually a cold burrito will have a really hard tortilla not sure how they do it but the burrito was still soft after the night. The guac is not too chunky so it fits right in with the chorizo burritos. Amazing can't wait to try again! read more

Awesome bean and cheese burritos they are always open and they never disappoint. Been a must for years

Chili relleno burritos are so good! So glad I finally tried this spot. You can also call ahead for large orders

Really good food. We had the chili relleno burrito and the machaca. It was so good. Boyfriend loved it. Easy to order and the wait isn't bad. read more

You should add an "L" to your business name based on the crappy service I received today. I ordered a bean and cheese burrito, and my order gets given away to someone else because the cashier isn't checking numbers or orders, she's just giving the food out smh. Then it legit takes another 15 minutes to re-make the order you gave away because they had other orders come in that they prioritized over mine lol. What a joke. Never coming here again. read more

OHMYGOD!!!! I've always passed by this on my way to the 5 freeway but I've never had the chance to stop by. First of all, their prices are so worth it for the size. It's as if they haven't raised it in a while. $7.20 for a breakfast burrito?? My dad and I both got the breakfast burrito with 3 meats, came with eggs, beans (i opted out), and potatoes. Honestly this is the best breakfast burrito I've had and they're open 24/7 so what are you waiting for?? I'll definitely be back to try some more of their menu. The burrito was super filling and I got 2 meals out of it but my dad finished it in 1. They have a parking lot in the back with plenty of spaces & they're cash only but there's an atm on site. read more

I don't know why this place isn't rated higher, but I've only been once on a Tuesday morning at 8:30am, so I can't say how it is during other times, like late night, since this place is open 24 hours. Got a shredded beef taco and a breakfast burrito with guacamole on the side. First off I want to talk about their salsa, the red one. Looked like a chipotle sauce, but holy ishhh was it tasty! It had a nice roasted pepper taste, but also some sweet notes and a fragrant flavor like tamarind. The taco shell is fried and lard and it makes a difference for taste. The taco tastes like an authentic version Taco Bell hard shell taco was trying to mimic. Don't kill me - I'm just saying it like I tasted it. The burrito was sausage with bacon added and filled with beans, cheese, and potatoes. Such a good vessel for the guac sauce and hot sauce. Would recommend you try the taco if you haven't had one fried in lard before, it's an experience. Note: the wrapper will be swimming in oil. read more

Very disappointed in this place's customer service, I came here three time and each time they missed up my order and denied it, refused to do anything to make the wrong right, which was very disappointing. However I'm places favor the food is good and priced at a good price. But go at your own risk and just make sure they place your order correctly. Also it's super cold so take. Jacket.

Aim writing g thus review a coupla days following my first visit, I found myself thinking about their Chile relleno burrito...so I picked up the phone at 1p.m.. Easily ordered 2 Chile relleno burritos and 2 orders of taquitos...10 minutes later, I arrived...my takeout order was ready...took my prize home...my mom loved it...I still loved it....yayyyy!! The outdoor seating still closed off, Covid protocols still observed...but don't let that stop u....plenty of parking behind. Also green curb in front. I'd probably never sit down to eat here...but take away is fast convenient and the food travels 10 minutes and is still hot. Cash only. read more

Still LOVE this place. The staff is friendly, the prices are reasonable, and the burritos are still delicious! They take active measures with the current pandemic. read more

J&S used to be THE spot to go to late night, random midday, morning.. anytime. One item, the order of taquitos, has been my absolute go-to and the one item that I'd enthusiastically recommend to anyone else. The second to last time that my boyfriend and I went, the taquitos were a little colder than usual (they're never cold) & the meat tasted a a bit undercooked. I was so sad and our stomachs were in pain. We figured it was a one-off and gave it another shot. This time he ordered additional items and we both paid the price for it again the next morning. J&S.. I can't see you like that anymore read more

Im sorry but i have to write this review. The wait was super long. The bag was leaking oil from the enchilada container and made a mess in my car. The enchiladas had way too much sauce. I was very hungry and i can't even finish the enchiladas. The beef taco was okay. read more

Background On Visit: After getting a cup of java at ground up coffee, I saw a line forming at J&S and thought to myself that it was breakfast time! Credit Card Or Cash: Cash talks, but if you need cash there is a ATM machine available if you need to get some cash. Location/Parking: Located next to Ground Up Coffee. Parking can be found either in the front 20 min. zone or in their private parking lot that is good for 1 hr. Hours Of Operation: Covid is not slowing them down! They're still going strong and are open 24/7. Not sure how the hours are like when there is a holiday though. Masks Required?: Make sure you wear a mask. They have a sign up front that says masks are required. If you don't have a mask, you can purchase from them for $1 (blue masks), $2 (black masks), $4 (Kn95 masks 2pk), or $6 (face shield). Ambiance/Decor: Not much ambiance with a couple of tables that are not accessible for now due to no outdoor dining. Service: Staffers were wearing masks when I was there. Service was good. Staffers were friendly and it didn't take long (10-15 minutes) to get my order. They also offer a service where you can call ahead to order whatever you desire. Food Of Choice: I got the 3 meat (ham, bacon, and sausage) breakfast burrito. I thought the burrito was okay. A bit bland. The refried beans and potatoes overpowered the other ingredients (ham, bacon, and sausage). It was nice that they added eggs to the burrito. Food For Thought: I'll be open to try their taquitos/flautas next time. read more

A MUST when in MPK! My first stop anytime I'm back home!! We love the bacon tomato sandwich. We add a fried egg. Winner! Chorizo burrito is a must too. And gotta love the taquitos with the green guacamole read more

Love their meatless breakfast burrito. The service is friendly and fast. The prices are good.

Back in the mid 80's they where famous for there bean & cheese.if you grew up around there you new. Used to go all the time for lunch in high school & after quiet cannon. I moved to pomona. only once a yr I stop by, but never a again. Beans where so hard, in pic I'm actually squeezing the bean up & it's not even running ( oozing) on my hand. Hard solid & tasteless. read more

J & S - Worst bean & cheese. Straight out of can. No taste. What happened? Used to be famous for this - Mexican Near Me - Montebello, California

Rating: 3.3/5 This place is opened 24 hours and only accepts cash. I believe I paid under 20 for the all meat burrito and taquitos. My friend paid around 11-12 dollars for the fries. If I were to explain why we should eat here, it's probably because we're desperate for mexican food at 2am. I wish they were more specific to "additional meat" because it seems like its just shredded beef that they give you. I made the mistake of getting the all meat burrito with shredded beef (no carne asada no al pastor no chicken) and god that really needed something else like rice and beans because that burrito was just TOO soft. The taqutios that were consumed by my friend was given a rating of 4/5. The guac is good but it just tastes like blended avocado but its not a bad thing. If they added their green salsa (spicy) to the fries. It's seriously a great idea. Also their red salsa (chipotle salsa) is super good. Good smokey flavor. The fries were at most a 3.8/5. It was okay but I was desperate for tex mex food. Would I go here during the day? No, hell no. There's better spots than this. Although, for late night food? Hell yeah, sometimes those taco trucks are closed so I would 100% resort to this if I had the munchies. Although on a closing note, I definitely think this place does well with crunchy foods. So if you see something on the menu that sounds crunchy, get it because chances are it will be AMAZING. (Taquitos is an example) read more

So I've been going to J&S for years. Today I went ordered a few items, but really went to get a bean and cheese burrito because I like the way they make the beans with chorizo plus grill the tortilla. Well! come to find out after I ordered and take a bite that they don't make them like that anymore. So disappointing! The beans remind me of can beans I actually called them and asked because it was bothering me and the lady did confirm that yes they don't make them like before. I told her that they were better before and the way they make them not taste good. She said that she would let the boss know so hopefully they go back to the original way.... Other than that my taquitos were delicious and the guacamole so good! we also ordered guacamole and cheese fries. Super yummy. Definitely will be going back for the taquitos and the guacamole fries. read more

Best inexpensive Mexican food in Los Angeles. Ordered a green burrito and a soft tostada and it was very salty and had a weird after taste this time. Been here many times in the past and it seems whenever the cook is a woman the burritos taste better and less salty. It's located in montebello, which is right next to ELA. Open 24 hoursI but I wouldn't come here in late hours that's for sure. read more

Looking for innovation in the world of quesadillas? Ever wonder what putting pastrami inside a cheesy quesadilla would taste like? Look no further. The Elon Musk of quesadillas has delivered the future of fast Mexican food... And you can find it here in Montebello. The last time I stopped here I was between the front and back 9 of the Montebello Golf Course. I pulled up in my cart and ordered a pastrami sandwich. The pastrami here is bomb. Then, recently, a good friend told me they had a special quesadilla here that combined two of my loves... "Could it be true," I wondered? So I ventured back, this time without the pressure of a handicap or skins game. Just me, some queso and a handful of pastrami, and let me tell you it was like hearing Led Zeppelin, Nivana or Tupac for the first time... Blew my mind. So damn good! read more

J & S - Special Quesadilla with Pastrami... Must Try - Mexican Near Me - Montebello, California

Great breakfast burrito. It's been cash only for years; not sure if it has changed. The burrito is $8.00, so it's cheaper than most new pop-ups or places with no reputation other than social media. This place has been here for a long time, and yet people still come. Conclusion: It's good. read more

Great burritos and for the price! Great at any time when you're hungry late at night or at anytime!

Not sure what happened to this place new owners new cooks? The breakfast burritos used to be $6 now they're $10 and they're filled with beans. Was more like a bean burrito one burrito was supposed to have bacon and sausage and there was no bacon in it and very little sausage just pure beans. It was not good at all. read more
