Stopped here for the first time in a long time and was very glad that I did. Ordered two tacos and a side of Mexican rice and I left very happy. I will definitely be back sooner than last time. The tacos were stuffed to the top with lots of meat and toppings and the Mexican rice had a really nice flavor as well. I enjoy the simplicity of this Mexican restaurant and look forward to coming back soon. Wait staff was exceptional on my visit as well. read more

I think this is a perfectly fine, quick service Mexican spot. Inside has some regular tables, booths and bar seats. The decor is very simple and feels a little dated, which is expected for this type of eatery. I thoroughly enjoyed the meat and cheese dip appetizer. It was plentiful and had a great ratio of meat to cheese. I ordered just a single, fried flour taco and it had generous filling. My husband had a combo which came with rice and beans. I thought those were pretty salty but good flavor. The mild sauce they bring out was really good. Service was fast and the food must have come out within five minutes of us ordering. There's nothing that pushes this over the edge for me but certainly a spot I'd return to when looking for a quick Mexican meal. read more

Came for the Friday night margarita deal and wasn't disappointed. A sweet and strong margarita that was well worth it. The lime was good, but I'd say the strawberry was better. The service was prompt and my glass was kept full. They are a very casual dining spot with Mexican and American food. Good spot with good parking read more

Have been wanting to try this place for years. Had the flour chips and queso. It was yummy. Ordered 2 beef tacos with fried flour shells. They looked amazing and were delicious. My husband had a chicken quesadilla with chipotle sauce and he really enjoyed it. Jonesy's is in a great location. Can't wait to go back. read more

Absolutely terrible food (seriously, if you want Smiley Potatoes, just hit up your local grocery store and buy them for a fraction of the price. And velveeta cheese on tacos is legit sacrilege), and they constantly brag about how they immediately tow anyone who intentionally or unintentionally parks in one of "their" spaces in a shared parking lot. Crappy attitudes, crappy behavior, and crappy food. Pass. *edit* I just saw a review on here where a man said his car actually got towed WHILE HE WAS EATING INSIDE JONESY'S RESTAURANT. You can't even eat there without worrying about your car getting towed! Skip their microwaved "food", or be prepared to lose your car and pay their tow guy 200+ to get it back. read more

This is by far the worse Mexican Restaurant I have ever been to. I have never left a review anywhere but had to for this disgusting trash. I had the number 7 combo, One Taco with 2 Enchiladas and Rice and Beans. The taco was just OK, the Enchiladas were completely awful. After I finished eating, I actually feel sick to my stomach and feel like throwing up. I have no idea how this place even stays in business with serving such shitty food. read more

Jonesy's has been around forever (or at least since I was a kid, which was forever ago), and while they're a little unassuming and divey, they do have some tasty options (those puffy tacos!) My husband and I visited Jonesy's recently after not having been there for quite a while. The decor is the exact same as what I remember from long ago, with sombreros and maracas on the walls. There are a few booths along the front window and along the side wall, as well as a few free-standing tables in the middle of restaurant. The booths (at least the ones along the windows) are all connected between the backs, so you definitely feel every move of the people in the booth behind you. If that's something that bothers you, I would sit at a normal table. The bar has wooden cupboards like a classic old kitchen, and is full of cool mugs, which I hope are there for regular customers and they get to keep their mugs there :-) When you pop in to eat, you seat yourself, and one of the wait staff comes to take your order. The waitress we had on our last visit was super nice and patient with us as we ordered way too much food. We started with the Beef Nachos, which came with LOTS of cheese on top of the beef and chips, which was great. The only one way to improve the base item is to ask for salsa, to cut that cheesy beefiness a little bit. Simple to ask for and makes it perfect! I ordered the Combo #4, which included two beef enchiladas, and one beef fried taco. The way Jonesy's does the fried tacos makes them into the puffy taco style, that is so so good. The beef is cooked like the old style loose meat sandwiches, and the cheese on top is bomb, almost tasting like finely shredded Velveeta. I got a side of the Smiley Fries, because I'm an adult with a very refined palate, and hadn't had these since Valentino's stopped doing their buffet. Jonesy's version is SO good and fried up excellent. The smiley shape makes it honestly taste better than normal fries, with so many places (the eye holes, the smile) for crispiness to hide. My husband definitely stole a few of these and almost ordered his own basket. For his entree, he had the Chicken Enchilada, at the suggestion of our waitress. The beef enchiladas I had were good but the chicken gives it a different texture where beef kind of melds together with the tortilla and sauce. We both got beans and rice on the side of our dishes. The rice is like Spanish Rice, so it does have a good flavor, and the beans have the delicious shredded cheese on them too. At the end of the meal, the server brings you your check and you pay up front. This is where there is one last thing you need to snag before you pay - the brownies at the front! They are homemade, scrumptious, airy little squares of chocolate heaven. I'd say this is a good Tex-Mex option in the midtown area, check you should definitely check it out if you are a fan of divey, classic, greasy spoon spots. read more

Came here for taco Tuesday and got a few tacos to go. It's a great deal you get tacos for 2.50 a piece. I tried the beef and chicken both were good but i thought the beef was better. I'll be back again when I'm in the mood for some puffy tacos at a great price! read more

Jonesy's Taco House - Tacos - Tex-Mex Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

I can't tell you how many times we pass Jonesy's while traveling 60th St, but we finally stopped in after galavanting around the Florence/Ft Calhoun area. Honestly... their food didn't blow air up my skirt. It was, so-so. Thankful they had the "puffy taco" shells, and a non-meat version for some folks who choose not to eat meat but perhaps they taste bomb when you're a few sheets to the wind. I snagged the bean taco, and T tried their beef taco and chicken taco - add a side of rice and beans to share. The refried beans, more than likely from a can (and that's fine), their rice was hard and chewy in some places and had an odd chemical taste (to me, at least. T didn't get the same taste I experienced) to them. More "salsa" (vs chemical) taste was his take away from the rice. Their mild salsa was runny and didn't fair much of a taste. The shredded chicken had a good spice to it, a lot of it. The ground beef was seasoned well, not too many spices, also a TON of it which makes the bottom of the taco soggy, and empties out. Now the FRIED ICE CREAM... 100/10. Finally corn flakes that aren't a hundred years old, stale, and chewy. It had a caramelized, candied coated ball of vanilla. Which sat in a cinnamon sugar dusted bowl of goodness, topped with whipped cream from can. Which in and of itself, is worth going back for! read more

i tried Jonesy's for the first time and i wasn't very impressed. i'd heard a lot about their puffy tacos and divey atmosphere, but the vibe inside was really strange. lots of older men sitting around who clearly eat there VERY often, and seemed to be permanent fixtures in the booths scattered around the restaurants. our server was friendly and took our orders quickly, but we had to laugh at the vibe inside. i got a puffy taco and it felt like something out of a box, i'm not really sure how people crave these compared to authentic mexican food available in omaha. the parking situation definitely leaves something to be desired too. read more

The food was very unseasoned; very bland. I'd rather eat at romeo's if i wanted white mexican food.

Fast service, great good food and the right price! Easy to get to and to leave. Mondays they have the Hot Beef sandwiches you can cut with a fork., no knife needed. read more

We have had takeaway tacos from Jonesy's a few times and decided to eat in. Bookguy loves the tacos because they are so stuffed with beef, lettuce, tomatoes, and cheese, that when he finishes his basket of three, the overflow filling is like another taco without the shell. This time he assumed I wanted a bean burrito, and ordered that. I changed it by saying, "This time I'll try an enchilada ". Neither of us specified beans or what size and the server didn't clarify. The enchilada placed in front of me was enormous and seemed to be only beef with a generous coating of cheese and a tasty sauce. My fault for not clarifying bean. I ate it anyway, and it was really good. I especially liked the sauce. Bookguy ate the other half the next day and thought it was salty. We also had a mixed chip basket with guacamole. I would get just flour chips next time because I liked how they paired with the guacamole, which was great. I think the pricing is very good too. I had a margarita, which was maybe just a little light on the tequila, but still refreshing. Next time I will try something vegetarian for sure. read more

Not very well put together, seems like it was reheated and served again. Chips were stale.

This is a place packed full of regulars during lunch. The server was working the whole dining room and knew many people by name. We asked her what to order as newbies and she gave lots of suggestions. The #7 is popular she said, one taco one enchilada. She also mentioned the special was a hot beef sandwich. Kind of funny because I thought it was strictly Mexican dishes. The tacos were awesome. The chili was more of a stew to me. Huge chunks of beef and enough spice to make you sweat a little. The enchiladas were really good. The cheese on top reminded me of something I ate when I was little. They also have a nice little kids menu, complete with chicken fingers and smiley fries. Glad we stopped. read more

Sure it's not "authentic ", but it is absolutely delicious. Those puffy taco shells are insanely good. The smothered enchiladas...so so so tasty. Very Friendly staff. Jonseys reminds me of what Omaha used to be like somehow? The good ol' days lol. Love it there, and hope to always enjoy the puffy tacos and enchiladas...smothered in their delicious sauce. read more

These are the most delicious puffy tacos around! I especially liked the beef, and the shell texture is perfectly balanced as light and fluffy with just a bit of crisp, melts in your mouth! Same goes for the chips, and delicious margarita while you wait! Don't skip the Funnel Fries, only downside is you can't eat just one! Very friendly staff! read more

This is usually a great place but yesterday their brown enchilada sauce was too salty and not as flavorful as usual. I tried their tamale for the first time and it was ok. Their chips are awful. And so was the beef taco. Maybe it was just an off day. read more

We recently visited Jonesy's Taco house for "Taco Tuesday". They had chicken and ground beef tacos for $2.50 each. We got three of each for the two of us. Two tacos were plenty for me. The size of the tacos was much bigger than street tacos. They were served in a fried flour tortilla which I liked but my husband wasn't a fan. We enjoyed the beef the best. We chose "hot" heat level for the sauce. They bring the sauce in a squirt bottle so you can apply the amount you want. We didn't think the sauce seemed very hot at all. The ingredients were fresh and good quality. We just felt like overall the flavor wasnt very authentic Mexican. More like tacos you would make at home. They had lots of customers and they had our food out to us very fast (5 minutes). The decor is eclectic and very casual. We left full and out tab was inexpensive but we will probably keep searching around for more taco experiences. Would definitely recommend for a large family who likes mild flavors. read more

Won't ever go here again. Cheap food, bad service and tow happy people who will tow their own customers

very rude staff. I should have known based on their childish FB posts. Food is about the same as Taco Bell but with less flavor.

Always a good quick stop. Like that they actually season their taco meat. Service is always prompt and friendly!

Visited for our first time for Taco Tuesday. Tacos are $2.50 each and are pretty big, I love the fried flour shell, it's hard to find these kind of Tacos other than Romeos. My husband is a big fan of Romeos but we frequent there too often, but I was in the mood for a good taco so we gave it a try. The Tacos were just what we like, and we ordered a small deluxe Nacho which was very good and tasty. I realize this is an older building but I thought it was not very clean, surely didn't look like the pictures. The wait staff was friendly and attentive. I hope they deep clean a little better in the future. With that we will be back even though it's clear across town for us. The Tacos are worth coming back for. read more

Taco Tuesday. Do I need to say more? These are classic American tacos with meat , lettuce and cheese nothing else. Fried shells are nice and crispy. Served with American style salsa nothing spicy but tomato based condiment. Pretty delicious with a very attentive staff. Not bat for 2.99 a taco. read more

I can't say enough about Jonesy's! Great service, great food and locally owned. So it's might not be true Mexican food...so what! It fresh made and it absolutely rocks! The salsa has some zip to it...give it a minute and it'll sneak up on you! Huge tacos! The place is clean and friendly service! And the Margaritas are pretty good too! If you have to say something mean about them, you are just a mean person at heart! It blows away a few of the Tex-Mex joints in town too at a fraction of the price! read more

Definitely not authentic Mexican food. Enchiladas are undercooked. They use processed cheese. Horrible customer service. Tow-happy people that tow their own customers. read more

Food was pretty good as with service. I left a one star review because I was literally eating in there and one of the workers had my car towed from the parking lot. I just can't imagine working hourly and then going out and towing other people's cars. I hope that dude gets some help! read more

The food here is absolutely to die for. Service is great, the servers are very friendly. Ambiance is a bit bland, but overall I will keep going back! read more

Apparently here is 2 full orders of meat and cheese dip with corn chips. This was just shy of 18.00 dollars. The very nice server explained that "you get more" by us putting it in 1 container. read more

Did I get food here? Kinda I got some French toast sticks. 10/10 I LOVE THEM. great worker I'm not sure of her name but she did her job great. I walked in here from curiosity. Love it and I will come back. read more

We noted not a single Latino eating inside. That should have tipped us off to how our meal would go. Even the help advised our table that better Tex-Mex food can be found elsewhere. Service was the best part of our dinner experience. The parking is free in their parking lot, and you can bet there will be empty spaces. read more

Ok I love authentic Mexican but there is something to be said about great gringo Mexican food as well. I love Jonesy's taco house. The fried flour tacos are delicious! One of my favorite enchiladas in town to be honest. The portions are amazing and the staff is always very friendly! Can't go wrong here ! Delicious! read more

Went for tacos on taco Tuesday. They were busy but had excellent service and the food was great! this is the perfect place for a decent priced Tex-mex meal. read more

I have used Jonesy's twice to cater at my daughter's school (high school) during her play practice. Both times were phenomenal. We had no issues placing the order. When I went to pick it up, the service was prompt and everyone was friendly. They helped me carry out the food to my car and the kids loved the food. There was hardly anything left. My daughter told me one of the kids said they were the best tacos he ever had and in her words "he ate enough for three people." read more

Good food great prices. The staff is attentive. Food comes out timely and hot. Central Omaha easy access . After a couple of tacos go visit Tracks . read more

These tacos are pretty unique - the tortilla is fried, which is different than any other tacos I've had! I ordered one beef and one fish taco. Both were delicious and filling. Of the two, I enjoyed the beef taco more because it wasn't as heavy as the fish taco (since the fish is fried). Overall, I think there is pretty good value in their tacos, since they hover around the $3 mark (even less on Tuesdays). Please note that Taco Tuesday has been put on pause during the COVID-19 epidemic, due to rising meat prices! read more

Weird place, walked in and didn't expect to see the layout, old tables, chairs, ect. Ordered our food and it was ready in 4 minutes. Not exactly the amount of time necessary to cook up some fresh tacos and a tostada. The tostada was ridiculously spicy. The beef needed some more seasoning...needed a little more spunk to it, you know what I mean. Price is good and the tacos were good. One worker complaint about being at work. Also I don't think the tostada tortilla even existed and if it did it was swallowed whole by the amount of lettuce that was on it. read more

I made it back to Jonsey's for the first time in years. It's pretty much on par with my expectations after reading recent reviews. The tacos whil tasty weren't mind blowing. I did enjoy the fried flour shell but I can say that of most places that offer something similar. The funnel fries were tasty as well but the tortilla chips were downright awful. They were way too salty and likely purchased by the bag. They were similar to what you'd find at a truck stop. I will likely return for Taco Tuesday but won't make the mistake of getting chips again. read more

Started with Jonesy's 22 years ago. Moved in 2004 and make sure I visit at least twice a year when visiting family. Still the exact same taste and atmosphere. It is comforting to visit a place that always makes you feel like you've come back home. Food as always is fantastic. And the family staff has always been nothing but pleasant. And for what it matters......i am 50 years old and this is the first time I have reviewed anything online. That is what this place means to me, and I am sure a ton of others. read more
