Master of disguise. That is how best to describe JJ's Taco shop. This is a genuinely great Mexican food stop that should be a brick and mortar location, disguised as mall food. I swear I can think of a few places that are sit down Mexican restaurants, or that charge you as such, that are not even in the same ballpark as JJ's. Nothing is less than fresh. The flavors are layered into all the ingredients. The picture you have in your mind of how you want the order come out to you comes nowhere close to the actual final product. They exceed your expectations. Super, super fast service, yet the flavor is as if it took forever to get them to that level. The meat is tender. Not tough beef, but simmer, delicate, tender, juicy Beef Asada. The onions are sauteed and add depth. We had Quesadillas and Loaded fries. Got it home, the food was still piping hot. The tortilla shell was buttery, crisp, just really packed full of meat, cheese, onions, goodness you'd expect at a much higher price point, at a sit down Mexican restaurant. I had one issue. I am 1 pound from 200, Covid-19 gains, and the portions are generous and are not going to help with my trying to cut back and lose the extra 5 I gained the last year or so. Oozing with cheese, stacked with meat. Thanks JJ's. You are not helping me lose weight. So whatever you think about mall food, toss it out, rethink it all. Imagine white linen on that mall table. Imagine a wait staff doting on you if you need too because this food is on par with that experience. Even valet park your taste buds here if you must. Tip generously because you did not pay what this food is worth at the register. You didn't, trust me. The amount of meals and portions I got would have cost no less than 25% more plus tips at a couple of other spots close by. This is why I felt okay tipping generously. I was still way ahead. Till next time. Stay safe, get your vaxx, and booster, if not for you, for someone you love. Don't be that story of someone that said they should have. We need you alive and Yelping. We need you enjoying good food, great experiences, and the love of your family. Take care. read more

My review is for the watermelon drink and queso/chips. Needed a quick snack and it hit the spot. I'd come back to try the tacos. But the Korean corndog next door always grabs my attention. Enjoy! read more

So let me start by saying, this shop is in North East Mall's food court. I know, I know, five stars for a food court joint?! C'mon now... This spot has THE best elote, and steak asada tacos. Reasonably priced, with INSANE flavor. Yunno what Guy Fieri says about flavor town??? Well, this place definitely takes you there!! Wishing this place was a stand alone spot, I'm sure they'd make a killing!!!!! A literal GEM. read more

Jj's Taco Shop - Steak Asada tacos on corn - Mexican Near Me - Hurst, Texas

I went to the mall to get my necklace fixed & decided to try this place. I ordered elotes & a taco plate (corn tortillas & i chose biste as my meat). They give you a choice of 1 hot sauce out 6-7 different kinds varying from mild to hot. That's what I took the one star off for. I love my tacos! I love my chili/salsas; I have never ever been to any restaurant, street taco, fast food, etc.. that limited the amount of hot sauce you could have. The portion of the taco plate was good for me. Most places give you 3 tacos but I was satisfied because the tacos were very full of meat. The beans were very flavorful & on point. The rice was just as flavorful, I'm just not doing carbs so I let someone else have those items. My cheat was the elote! It was huge! The picture doesn't do it justice. It was piping hot too. Very nice. Everything would have been excellent if I could have had 4 hot sauces to try different ones instead of 1. I don't want to pay extra for a teaspoon of hot sauce. Other than that! Good tacos! read more

Just moved to Texas from Colorado and saw this place in the food court at the mall. Decided to give it a try and couldn't be happier! I ordered the asada steak bowl and it was spectacular. The ingredients and toppings were fresh, the steak was juicy and cooked perfectly. It's great to find small businesses with amazing quality food, I highly recommend this if you're looking for a great place to eat. I was so impressed my step son wanted a bowl too and then we got a quesadilla for my other son. Thanks for the amazing food and we will be back! read more

Extremely underwhelming food. I'm so surprised by some reviews raving of exploding flavor and to die for food as this was not my experience by any means, but did note that a lot of those reviews were from quite some time ago. Maybe the quality of this place is descending along with the mall itself as Northeast Mall is expected to be just as dead as Ridgemar Mall in the next few years. I had the steak asada tacos after trusting a positive review, and deeply regret spending money here. They put an overwhelming amount of large grilled onions in the tacos, which I had to pick out, a generous amount of low grade beef (you will find yourself spitting out so many fatty pieces of meat that you cannot really enjoy the taco) and this is all stuffed in one thin corn tortilla where traditionally (at least in Texas) you see tacos have two tortillas. I sense a lot of corners being cut at this establishment and don't care to spend more money trying to see if they'll get it right. Steak tacos are your bottom line judge of a good taco shop, and this place is just not it. I was also very shocked by the claim of exceptional flavor since I had to add salt and pack on a large amount of hot sauce to enjoy my lunch even a little bit. You are safer sticking with your typical fried rice food court options. read more

Poor customer service and care put into food will not be back. Swinging by for work after coming multiple times for something fast I've ordered my vegetarian burrito without problem maybe 5 times. I pay normal pricing every time even when my burrito is meatless. My order is simple. I stop by wanting soup they're not serving, I ask for gorditas they ran out, I ask to build my burrito get told no. Good bye JJs taco shop I will never order or bring family and friends to try ever again. read more

Delicious fool great service!! I tried the can-carne Gorditas and they are like no other I've ever tasted! I highly recommend this place. read more

Wow......wow......wow!!!!!!! This place has some serious flavors going on. The guacamole was fresh and tasty. Red Chile pork tacos were amazing. My favorite was the Elote. Chipotle mayo, Parmesan and.......a healthy topping of Valentina. This place can't get any better. read more

Discovered a small taco shop today. They have an extensive menu including weekend specials, lunch specials and a drink menu. I opted for the blue crab enchiladas with a side of black beans. As you can see from the photo the presentation is similar to what you'd expect to see in a upscale restaurant. The portion was large in my opinion since it came with a large basket of chips and salsa. Speaking of salsa, I was presented with a sample of mild to wild salsa. Tempt your tastebuds and try this little corner restaurant. I was impressed with the quality, presentation and surroundings. read more

This is the best taco shop in DFW!! I love the food the people that run the place are also awesome people! They make sure there food is always amazing. Knowing the people behind this taco shop I knew the food would be good, but I have to say I was really blown away with how delicious the food is. One thing that is an absolute must is to try the loaded fries with the carne asada. Seriously y'all this place is a must. read more

Hands down the best tacos around, whenever I visit north East mall I have to stop and get me some. Just 1 warning, you might get addicted!

We decided to come to the food court to eat before our movie and I saw this place and decided to try it. The wait wasn't long and the food tasted great; I was very impressed. We go to our movie and about 15 minutes later, I start to feel very sick. Needlessly to say, I missed most of the movie because I was getting sick off and on throughout the movie. Never again. read more

Tacos are on point here sooooo flipping tasty, the brisket and pastor and carnitas are fire!!! Very good steet tacos.

Food came out cold so I couldn't enjoy the food.Didn't bother mentioning to our server bc the service was HORRIBLE throughout the entire meal!!!!Wasn't attentive, asked for the same things several times it was just so bad that I will never come back. read more

Inside North East Mall is this authentic Mexican spot. The food here is really good. The family that owns the place is very nice. The nachos are my favorite...They also have daily specials as well. read more

Every time I've ordered the food is always fresh and the flavor is on point! Highly recommend

When I first ate there, I could not believe the great food and service. I eat there every week when I am at the mall. I go there so much that the owners know me by name! read more

The best tacos I've had in a very long time. Really great service. Great menu. And Uber delivers if you don't want to come to this spot. But either way it's such good food. You'll love everything on the many. read more

Really good buffalo chicken tacos and their loaded fries with grilled chicken are amazing!!!!

Best Mexican food I've had in a minute, especially in a mall, food was awesome, will visit them again when in town

Best taco shop anywhere. The veggie tacos are my new favorite! Everything is always fresh and delicious! I highly recommend!

Tastes fucking great i got the 3tacos del pastor and a asada burrito, they were the best tacos ive had. The cashier was super nice and i definitely loved the food but the "aguas frescas" are pricey and no refills but overall it was great! read more

I took advantage of a zero delivery fee offer on UberEats because somebody in my area had also ordered from the same location. I can't even tell you how fantastic it was!!! Some of the best Carnitas and grilled chicken, fresh vegetables and sauces I have ever tasted!!! I promise I will be back!!! Good job guys!!! read more

I went to this taco shop just for the Elote. They advertise that the corn is roasted. The corn was not roasted,it's like so many other places. The corn is either canned or frozen but definitely not of the Cobb or Roasted. It was the worst Elote I've ever had before. I will NEVER go back to this place. It's bad enough that it's inside the mall and you have to fight to get parking. But to pay $4 for trash is very disappointing. read more

I have found my new taco Tuesday spot. You can taste the use of quality ingredients made freshly. There is also an extensive menu, so I have plenty to try. I tried two staples(carne asada and carnitas), they were excellent. A definite precursor of what's to come. I can't wait to come back! read more

I am not the wordsmith one of the other reviewers thinks he is but I will say I think he is impressed with your stand and is trying to help you succeed. With that said, I have been once and my tacos were quite tasty and the sauces I chose were on point. Eating in a mall cafeteria is nothing I would choose to do unless I was at the mall for other reasons. So I hope their quality and recipes stand up to the fickle nature of a mall food court location. Good luck! And thank you. read more

Still don't care for this place, will never go there to even pick up a napkin sense that's what they offer a lot of. 60ys experience? I didn't taste that experience nor felt it. A long response does not change my view of being bamboozled. Try not being greedy but instead fair for all customers in this struggling economy. I am a chef myself so I know bad quality even if you tried to cover it with a bunch of napkins and the smallest condiment containers restaurant supply stores have. read more

Jj's taco shop has to best authentic tacos I've had in a long while. The rest of the menu is so diverse which is good because you'll want to try everything! They have so many different salsas to choose from and they are all so good! Not to mention the service was outstanding. I love this place!!! read more

They should be ashamed of their prices for the slop they serve. They do not trim their meat. I had gristle. Their seasoning was weak, They should re-brand and take the word Mexican out of their name. here is a suggestion JJ'S Bland Tacos Slop. read more

Walked passed this in the mall thought we'd give it a try. Food was nasty well the meat was. I told my husband we should give it another try today and once again it was nasty . Even my kids thought it was nasty ! My 4 year old daughter told me this doesn't taste good! I ordered her a $9 quesadilla! And a burrito for myself. What a waste of money! read more

I just have to say WOW! I loved these tacos! Very good service and exceptional food! Thanks!!
