You order, pay, and they bring you your food and drinks. You choose your seats, booth, tables or the bar by the window. We have been here many times, but my go to is always the don titos. I love the shrimp and the sauce. Very tasty. We all got different tacos, so of course, everyone is happy. Tacos are very filling so we left satisfied. You can also go up to the counter for a drink refill. The staff is pleasant and they make suggestions if you're not sure what you want. All good, was pretty busy for the dinner rush on a Tuesday night.

Ever since I moved nearby, Juan Loco has always been in a weird category for me. Their food is…read moregood, I love Mexican and Tex-Mex, but their menu doesn't really pull me in. I'm really not a fan of the 5 mini tacos they offer, not because they taste bad, but more because I don't want to deal with 5 little tacos And they only sell their larger tacos in packs of 3, which is fine, but I'd actually order from here all the time if I could just order single tacos and build a custom order the way I want it (similar to Osito's or Tacos 4 Life). And their cheese dip isn't "pure" cheese dip, it has something else mixed in like a chipotle ranch or something, I really don't know, but it's not really what I'm looking for. To me the biggest issue I have is just not being able to customize my order the way I want it because the way they've designed their menu makes me not want to order anything because I don't want to commit to it. I like the a la carte style. So anyway I decided today would be my once-a-year order from Juan Loco just to see if I'm making a mistake by not ordering here more often since it's literally right down the street from me. The food was good. The menu was still a point of frustration. So it's getting 3 stars from me mainly because I'm just not compelled to order from here. I want to. I keep trying. The food is good. But it never draws me back.

I'm from a state known for its Mexican food. During a work trip I was really missing a good spot to…read moreget good food. I struck out at 3 other restaurants. Either to bland or to Tex mex or not Mexican food at all. I ended up here just thinking I was gonna get another North Carolina experience and was met with great drinks, food, and service. If you've ever been to NC you know the service alone can be like pulling teeth to get your order placed before the place closes. This was the exact opposite. The salsa is great, the guacamole is great, the fajitas are fair, but the Baja fish tacos are the shining dish. I did not get them this time because I wasn't that hungry but I wanted to make sure that I left this establishment a little love because this location rocks. Come get a Paloma with Paola and enjoy your time in a quiet relaxing spot.

I've tried just about every place around here, and this is the one I keep coming back to. The food is consistently great, the portions are solid, and everything comes out hot and fresh every time.

It's just an easy, reliable spot that delivers every time. If you're in Cornelius and want good Mexican food, this is the move.

All of doors were open to outside and it was cold with a draft, I'm not sure why they left the doors open tonight but I had asked her to sit far away from the doors and then she ended opening up another one of the doors so they were all open. She didn't smile once and looked visibly annoyed from the moment I walked in. The food was also not great tonight. The restaurant was pretty dead and the tacos came out cold. The pork belly needed to be heated up more. The tuna taco was terrible tonight with a fishy taste (much different than my last experience) and had a shiny film on it. I took one bite and thought it tasted bad so didn't eat the rest, I'm surprised my server didn't ask me what was wrong with it.

With that being said, sometimes I don't want to make any decisions about anything at the end of the day. It's so nice to come in after a rough day have a seat at the bar and just say two tacos chef's choice please. I have done this several times and every single time the tacos are out of this world! The wait staff will generally ask. Is there anything that you don't like? I love everything but fresh cut jalapeños are just a little more than I can handle. I normally try to grab a seat at the bar. The employees typically know many customers by name and greet them before they can even grab a seat. It's really nice to be in a place where they remember your name and your drink of choice....not having to make decisions about what you're eating at the end of a crazy day is just a bonus!

Lunchtime landed me at #JacksCornerTap Ribs, fries, collard greens and drinks…read more I ordered the ribs. The barbecue sauce on the ribs was very good, But if you removed the barbecue sauce from the ribs, they weren't very appetizing. The meat itself just didn't taste that good. They passed the pull a part test ---- fall off the bone test, just work on flavoring the meat. The french fries were hot and crispy. I love a crispy fry. I did not like the collard greens at all. They taste like they were cooked in a pot full of unsalted butter and that's it. I added vinegar to the dish and tried to perk them up and that made them worse. Now if you are looking for a good libation to wash down this food, the lemon drop martini hit the spot. I had two of them. Jack's Corner Tap has a lot more menu options and I am willing to give them another try. I just won't be ordering ribs or collard greens. On the plus side, this will be a dope spot to watch the #Panthers for the coming up season. #GratuityAdded #PubEats #LocalEats #Cornelius #NorthMeck MecklenburgEats #OfflineClt #Ribs #Collards #CLTSouthernEats #KeepPounding #Olympics2024 #ParisOlympics #charlottefood #cltfood #cltfoodie #charlottenc #charlottefoodie #clteats #charlotteeats #charlottesgotalot #exploreclt #cltfoodies #eatdrinkclt #eatdrinkcornelius #cltfoodbloggers #charlottefoodies #supportlocal

The Mac and cheese was a nice complement and the hush puppies had a good balance of softness inside but a bit of crisp on the outside. My son had the pork sliders.
