Great great food. The waitress was super helpful, and recommended items from the menu as soon as we told her that we had never been there. The portions were average but really good flavor. They don't have many booths and we did have to sit in a spot that had many windows so it was a little warm. The salt shakers were full, but you could tell that they didn't wash them on a regular basis. I will go back though, the flavor was amazing read more

Great food and staff very attentive. Cool ambiance as well. Food was good a generous portions.

Stopped here while passing through, great find. Easy access off I40 and on, plenty parking, indoor and outdoor seating. Friendly staff and service. Wife had the Heaven burrito, it was huge and the pulled pork was amazing; tender and juicy. I had Joe T dinner; one cheese enchilada with crispy taco, rice and charro beans. The red sauce on the enchilada was fantastic, mildly spicy don't have that in Oklahoma. Taco meat was flavorful and full of meat, charro beans is good as well. We were impressed and would recommend. read more

When pulled into our hotel in Amarillo, never having been here before, we checked in and, feeling hungry, decided to rustle up some grub. We found Joe's Taco and decided it sounded good. We also then realized they closed in 11 minutes, so we called, figured out they were just 2 blocks away and, with the young hostess helping us as we walked, placed our order for the stuffed avicado. Turns out they stop taking orders at 9, but leave the outdoor patio open. We arrived with 4 minutes to spare, added a couple Hopadillo beers to our order and proceeded to devour the TOTALLY FRIGGIN DELICIOSO stuffed avocados with really awesome beans and rice. The staff were the best part of the meal, and the meal was off the hook! They brought our food to us, checked in on us, and made us feel totally at home. If you live in Amariilo, drag your ass down here and enjoy an awesome meal and amazing service! read more

Joe Taco - Stuffed avocados - Tex-Mex Near Me - Amarillo, Texas

Joe Taco is a MUST if you're going through Amarillo & like great chips & queso. Their queso blanco is divine with tortilla chips that I can only describe as "crispy air". Very light chips that near melt in your mouth. Our personal favs are the stuffed avocado with fajita chicken smothered in queso & their crispy quesadillas. Rock solid Mexican food in the medical district of Amarillo with indoor & outdoor seating. Service this time was fast (even during the after church lunch rush on a Sunday) but at times it has taken a bit, but we'll worth the trip & a moderate wait! read more

We stopped in Amarillo on our way to Denver. Took a recommendation from Yelp for Joe Taco. They were right on delicious food and great service. Great patio outside which was so nice since we had been in the car driving most of the day. We had the stuffed Avacado dish, highly recommend was very delicious! We'll definitely stop here again on our way back through. read more

We were recommended to try this place by a local and I ordered the Barrio Burrito with marinated beef and red sauce. It was so delicious and huge! It had tons of flavor and I enjoyed every bite, plus a ton leftover, and that was even awesome the next day. The chips and salsa were very good and the waiter brought each person their own personal dish, which I thought was thoughtful. The others in my group really enjoyed their tacos and plates as well. We were able to sit on an airy patio and the waiter was very attentive. I can't wait to go back and try something else. read more

Joe Taco - Barrio Burrito with Red Chile Sauce - Tex-Mex Near Me - Amarillo, Texas

Decent place, the patio is nice. Good place to go for a beer and a quick bite. Not a fan of the rice, but just personal taste. It's still good just not my style. read more

My first indication things weren't going to be good. I walk with a cane and upon entering the restaurant the rubber tip of my cane started "slipping" across the floor with each step I took. After "gingerly" traversing to our table and being seated we ordered drinks and guacamole. Drinks arrived quickly, but the guac came after the two of us finished more than 1/2 basket of chips! No one was staring at us, so I assume we were eating them at a leisurely pace. We placed our lunch order and waited over 40 minutes to receive them. My wife ordered the Tortilla soup (her favorite thing to order at a Mexican restaurant), after 40 minutes it was delivered. It had become lukewarm, In addition to the temperature, it had little flavor and tasted rather similar to "water"! I ordered a beef taco and a chile rellano. The chile rellano was buried under, at least, 3 lbs. of cheese and was hard to find without "digging" through the layers of cheese. The taco was placed on top of the "steaming" rice and had softened to the point it was beginning to fall apart. The beef? was without much flavor and that made the item edible by only two bites. I said a prayer over it and ask for the check, reluctantly paid and left. read more

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING GOOD! Everything we had tasted fabulous, the service was flawless, and it was a great place for kids. I'll be dreaming of this place forever read more

Always order seafood enchiladas but today they were dried out and I was dissatisfied. How can they be great one time and next time not worth eating? read more

When I walked in it was just a little dive bar and I ordered a couple of hamburgers and when I got them and took a bite of them I was blown away they were so damn good. They tasted like real meat and they were seared on the outside had a crunchy shell. So I recommend Joe taco in Amarillo Texas if you want a pretty damn good hamburger. read more

The food was delicious! I had a stuffed avocado with the spinach and mushrooms and poblano topping. House margarita. Even though they were super busy, they were friendly and helpful. read more

I do not like to complain about service... but I also do not like driving 15 miles in traffic to pick up the food I was very excited about only to get home and find it was NOT what I ordered. We look forward to going out about once every two weeks and we haven't had Mexican food in over a month so we were very excited about it, this was a big let down! I realize it wasn't the entire establishments fault but some one is a slacker there. Just trying to support a local restaurant and feeling dissatisfied. read more

Stuffed Avocado is the best I've ever had! The salsa is good and maybe someday they will bring back the green tomatillo salsa

Has really good food and has good service. They bring the food out really quick. Authentic Mexican food with a twist. I would love to eat here again read more

Joe Taco - Barrio burrito is a great dish you get it with your choice of meat and you choice of sauce - Tex-Mex Near Me - Amarillo, Texas

We ordered the taco tour, and all the meats were tasty. The salsas were above average, but not very spicy. The chicken flautas were nice and crunchy and cheesy. Beans and rice tasted very homemade. The mango margarita was a tad sweet but made with fresh fruit. It was very good. read more

After reviewing Joe S. pic's and review, my hubby and I decided to have dinner at Joe Taco. Excellent choice!!! We were greeted by a very friendly hostess and seated mediately. Our server Darian was friendly and very informative. We were served complementary chips, which were lightly dusted with a their secret house spice blend. The red salsa was ok and the green cilantro lime salsa was different - not my favorite. My hubby ordered the Barrio brisket burrito with Hatch green chili sauce, served with refried beans and Mexican rice. The burrito was loaded with brisket and mixed cheese, smothered with hatch green chili sauce - very tasty. I ordered the combo plate - shredded beef chili Relleno, crispy tacos with shredded beef, refried beans and opted out for the rice, which I got anyway. For my sauce I ordered hatch green chili and their tomato ranchero sauce, both sauces were delicious, just the right amount of heat. My taco was loaded with tender, tasty shredded beef, topped with lettuce, tomato and cheese. The crispy taco shell very good, right next to being fried, (I love fried tacos) although it was not fried, I really enjoyed it. My chili Relleno was a large Anaheim green chili, stuff with shredded beef, lightly battered and fried golden brown. I poured the Hatch green chili sauce on half the Relleno and the tomato Ranchero on the other half. WOW, absolutely delicious!!! The rice was overwhelmed with Cumin, not to my liking. The refried beans would've been good if they left the cumin out. We didn't care for the beans and rice, however that Burrito, Chili Relleno and Taco were absolutely delicious. We definitely will be back. read more

These were unique tacos- I got the bbq chicken and brisket, but they accidentally added bbq sauce to the brisket taco. Bbq sauce is not something I've ever had on a taco, but it was good. It reminded me of a bbq chicken pizza. It was reasonably priced for the amount of food, the salsa was tasty, but I didn't care for the house made chips- mine were somewhat stale and I didn't care for the rice. I would return for the tacos. The service was also quick and polite- they had us seated and out of there in 30 minutes and that was convenient. read more

Amazing good, great service and good prices. Love the stuffed avocados. One of our favorite places to eat in Amarillo.

Love love love this place. The best thing on the menu is the stuffed avocado! Get it with skinny meat and queso on top! Soo good!!

Thank you !!! I live out of town and my daughter and future son in law had a engagement party in Amarillo.. I called Joe Taco to cater the event (drop off cater) and it was wonderful.. we had the taco bar and everyone enjoyed the meal so much .. plenty of food and utensils and the driver was right on time to deliver the food ..I would most definitely recommend this restaurant for any kind of catering... you made my life so easy read more

This is one restaurant which has very fast service. It is a little difficult to find parking, though we were told that street parking is allowed. Even before you order, you'll be greeted with chips, salsa and a guacamole sauce. The chips also had some spice sprinkled on it which made it a little different than others. We ordered the fish taco and stuffed avocado. Our server told us that stuffed avocado can be considered a small portion but that was definitely not the case. Both the dishes were good. The server kept checking on us and the over all experience can be summed up as quick. It's a good place to get a quick bite. read more

Really good tacos! We are traveling through Amarillo and staying at a hotel for the night. Found this place on Yelp, and were fairly pleased with choice. Our waitress, Hailey (I apologize if I am spelling her name incorrectly, I forgot to look at the receipt before we left) was friendly and not intrusive. It was a Saturday night and quite busy, but we still received our food within ten minutes of ordering. My boyfriend and I shared the Taco Tour (includes six tacos of varying meats and six different salsas), and our four year old ate the cheese quesadilla. Tue next time we travel through Amarillo at lunch or dinnertime, we'll likely be back! The four star rating is because of the noise. By the time we were finished eating, there were only three other tables of people around us, but the bar and the patio were really loud and we could hear it. Add music to the equation, and we scrambled out of there. read more

Stopped in while we were traveling to Tennessee and we weren't disappointed! The service was great and it allows dogs on the patio which was awesome for us since we're traveling with my dog! My boyfriend got the taco tour with flour tortillas which came with 5 different sauces, he enjoyed the fish and pulled pork taco the most! I got the stuffed avocado with spinach and mushrooms with the Poblano Sour Cream, OH MY GOSH it definitely hit the spot! Very nice seating area out on the patio and if we are ever in town again, we will be stopping by! read more

We are passing through Amarillo Texas and googled best Mexican food and "JOE Taco" came up. A bit off the main path, but oh so worth it. Great staff and waiter. Great service. Pet friendly and to top it all off exceptional food. So many great options I had to defer to waiter for a recommendation. He recommended the stuffed avacodos. They were phenomenal. Good margaritas too. Best Mexican food we've ever had. I highly recommend this place. read more

This place is literally some of the best Mexican food I have ever had. Even though they were busy, we were seated right away. The waitress recommended the street tacos with fajita steak, and let me just tell you, it was ahhhmazing. My husband said his heaven burrito was the best he had ever had! The queso was good and our drinks were off the chain! I had the margarita/sangria swirl and my husband had the signature margarita in the rocks. If we ever are back in town, this is where we will be read more

Joe's taco was pretty tasty my husband and I shared fajitas that came out in a hot skillet not very much onions and bell peppers but still very delicious. We also tried the cheesecake chimichangas that are worth the calories. This place is kid friendly and they offer out door seating. My only complaint and the reason for a three star review would be the margaritas. They'll give you diabetes before catching a buzz. read more

I really liked Joe Taco. It was recommended to me to get the stuffed Avocado. This turned out be the right choice. It's a whole fresh Avocado which you can top with your choice of meat and sauce. Besides that, the restaurant appears to be very popular with the locals. People hanging out at the bar drinking a bear and talking. I'm pretty sure that the outdoor patio is a popular place in the evenings. I'll have to come back to try other meals. read more
