    Huevos rancheros up front and a steak omelet in the back
    Paula L.

    Pulling up to this restaurant looks a little scary. It doesn't look like it's going to be good food or a good place. However, the staff is super friendly and efficient. The place is clean. And the food is super yummy. If you're in the neighborhood, it's definitely a place to go for a solid breakfast.

    Eggs florentine, eggs benedict with bacon, biscuit.

    This is a great local breakfast spot. Great combination of mexican and american diner. The eggs florentine was surprisingly excellent. If you like an easy, no fuss, no pretense try this. Can recommend the biscuit as well. Was happy to be able to get a half portion to try it. One quibble.... Had to ask for menu/service. Customers who came in after us were served first.

    Huevos rancheros with ham

    10/10 recommend this place! We found this place after going to the casino and so glad we did. Everything we got was amazing. The Huevos rancheros were delicious and so filling! Service was great, very fast and attentive. Will be coming back here.

    Mini Classic breakfast.

    Great locals diner! Parking is tight, but we were there early.(7:30am) Prices are super reasonable in this post pandemic world. They have linguica on the menu too.I ordered a mini classic breakfast, which I would normally make at home. Cleaned my plate!

    Huarache with chorizo. No rice and beans come with it, but it is SO GOOD and a very generous portion like everything else they have here!
    Laura M.

    One of my favorite restaurants ever. They have consistently delicious food and the staff are all so sweet. Top recommendations are the huevos rancheros, flautas, huarache, tostadas, patty melt, the list goes on and on! Everything here is fantastic. Great breakfast/lunch option near Mohegan and just a short drive from Foxwoods. I wish I lived closer or else I would be here a couple times a week.

    Fantastic hole in the wall. A combo of Mexican and diner food. Anyone in the area should eat there. I recommend the nachos. Delicious!

    Jojo’s Breakfast and Mexican Food - Chicken tamales with green sauce and pork tamales with red sauce

    Jojo’s Breakfast and Mexican Food

    4.5(55 reviews)
    1.3 mi

    I'd heard family and friends mention JoJo's Breakfast for a while, but since it's out of my usual…read moreroute, I never remembered to stop by. I finally met up with a few friends--one who lives in the area--and we decided to try it. I'm really glad we did. One of my friends is a native Mexican and an excellent cook, and even she agreed the food tasted authentic. We ordered the huevos rancheros with green sauce, plus both the pork and chicken tamales. Nothing disappointed. The tamales were moist--something I appreciate since many places serve them too dry. The only small suggestion I'd make is for the staff to ask if we'd like extra sauce for the tamales, which would make them perfect. Others in our group tried tacos and tostadas and felt the portions were generous; delicious and the prices very fair. The décor gives you the feeling of a neighborhood spot in Mexico. It's not fancy, but it's warm and welcoming. There were a lot of takeout orders while we were there--and it was only 10 a.m.--with people from all backgrounds coming in and out. Clearly, they have a loyal customer base. The staff was very friendly and answered all our questions.  She did a great job checking in often since we were there for hours.   I'm already looking forward to coming back.

    These photos are god awful because I could not help ripping into the food and then suddenly…read moreremembered I like making yelp reviews!! Anyways, the food was absolutely delicious! Some of the best Mexican food I've had in a while - and I've been to Mexico (Mexico City, Puebla, Oaxaca and more) so I feel like I can say that. Everything was made super fresh and the service was pretty good! It did take a while for us to get hot sauce when we asked for it but they seemed a little distracted that day and I don't wanna knock a point off for a slightly off day. It's really nice in there too. It's bright and very diner-ish which I like for local spots. The chairs were comfortable enough and altogether I 10/10 would recommend a visit here! Sorry again about the photos lol!
