    They have renovated the inside, looks great. Really good food. Also, extremely attentive service. They probably have the best "white sauce" of any Mexican place in the area. I think the thing keeping this from being a higher review is the prices. It was $142 (after tip) for a family of 6 (4 being kids). That's insane....also, they do not put ANY prices of drinks on their menu. So you don't know if a margarita is $10 or $20 unless you ask. I don't love that--feels like they are trying to be a bit misleading.

    The place look amazing

    So gooooooood! I've been a fan of Plaza Azteca for years now. And I still recommend it today. Find out for yourself! Time and time again this place has shown superior service and excellent food. It's simply the best. The atmosphere is phenomenal!!!

    I don't understand why this place isn't rated higher, we had a great time and the food was delicious. The Chicken and chorizo plate was so tender. And the Birria Tacos were so savory. We came during Happy Hour so the margaritas were cheap. The service was great, they made sure we were satisfied is every way. Inside has great art deco and plants from the ceiling, which gives a great Mexican vibe inside. Maybe the location isn't the best, but once you're inside everything is perfect.

    Y'all. When I tell you I had the time of my life at this restaurant. I came here after the day from hell, just wanting a margarita. We walk in and get our margaritas, our food, and sat down. We truly enjoyed the food and drinks. But y'all - we were just drinking our margaritas when this man came over and told us he's a MAGICIAN. This restaurant has a magician who comes every Thursday and man, we were blown away. I never thought this man in chains would coming to do magic at our table. It was wonderful. We had so much fun. I will be coming here again.

    Great food, great service, great drinks! Fast and friendly. We arrived 30mins before closing but was still able to be seated and served with a smile. The waiter explained that the kitchen would close soon, so if we were eating we should order promptly. I appreciate him letting us know instead of blindsiding us. Note: We had no idea they closed at 10pm when we decided to meet at 9:30pm. At the table: Mango Mojito Plantains (Plantanos) Shrimp fried rice w/ cheese (arroz frito con camarones y queso) - Mango Mojito: perfect balance of sweet flavor in this refreshing drink. I love the mojitos here, the mint is fresh and it is served in a tall glass. - Plantains: my plant based bestie throughly enjoyed these. She was pleasantly surprised at how delicious they were. - Shrimp fried rice w/queso: if you've never had Mexican shrimp fried rice, I guarantee you will prefer this over Chinese fried rice. It's so fresh and the shrimp are perfectly grilled and seasoned to perfection. The queso isn't overloaded it's the perfect amount. I enjoyed my late lite dinner, I will return.

    La comida y el ambiente es muy buena.pero la que siempre me atiende se llama se llama vía y ella siempre esta al pendiente de uno y siempre sonriente pero tienen que ir al bar para que la atienda

    The only good thing about this place is the decor.  The food is sub par. Lack of taste.

    And most importantly, the RUDE.... Service my server who was an older gentleman with glasses. He is by far the worst SERVER ever in this world. You're lucky I tipped u $2 coz I felt BAD for you. He looked like he did not want to be there. His horrible attitude was reaking through his body. I would NOT RETURN TO THIS ESTABLISHMENT!

    I have been coming here since 2010 whenever I head back to see family in Virginia Beach, VA. Authentic and delicious food done right - every time - in my experience. The beers are always ice cold and the margaritas are - OMG - loaded for bear good Living in SoCal you know good food like this and they get it! A must try if you are up for Awesome!!

Here's the deal: Jessy's is located in a small shopping strip. While the building is a little older I did not think l it run down or in a part of town that I would consider questionable at all. I saw at least one review that noted this- could not disagree more., nothing to fear here. Plenty of parking and it's free! Once inside the restaurant is medium sized with seating for at least 15 parties and tables that can accommodative larger parties, 10+ people. There are two order stations at either side of the restaurant - one for hot food the other for ice cream and desserts. Service was friendly and attentive. You can choose to self order for takeout or be waited on. While staff wait on and bring you food and drink, pay is self pay at the food order counter. The menu is larger and has something for everyone. Proteins are optional for nearly every dish. The food here is authentic with lots of protections including some of my favorites- Al pastor and chicken tinga. Chips and salsa are scratch made and fresh- very good. We had street tacos which were very flavorful and also scratch cooked including the corn tortillas. Served with traditional hot sauces to add that little extra heat- awesome. The Al pastor was not grilled to get that char that some Al pastor dishes have but was otherwise spot on. Chicken tinga was perfect. If you are looking for authentic Mexican at reasonable prices, this is your place and absolutely worth a few minutes drive over. Hope to see you there sometime- happy eating!

If you're looking for tasty food and a place that offers a little bit of everything, Taqueria Jessy is definitely worth the visit. I'll be back!

We came here to celebrate a birthday, and it ended up being one of those meals where everything just hit. First off, those margaritas are no joke. Massive, flavorful, and strong in the best way. Bonus: they do $2 off specialty margs on Mondays, which is dangerous knowledge now that I have it. I went with the Coco Loco Margarita (1800 coconut tequila, coconut milk, triple sec, and sweetened flaked coconut), and WOW. It was creamy, refreshing, and honestly tasted like a tropical vacation. My friends ordered the House Marg, Peach Sangria Marg and the Spicy Pineapple & Cilantro Marg, all were just as impressive. The spicy one had a great kick without being overwhelming, and the peach option was super smooth and fruity. Before we even ordered, the complimentary chips, salsa, and that famous white sauce came out ... and let me tell you, that white sauce is to die for. I could've eaten that all night. For my dinner, I had the asada enchiladas, and I'm still thinking about them. Perfectly cooked grilled steak laid over cheesy enchiladas with verde sauce, plus rice and black beans. I loved that the steak was on top because once I got full, I could still pick at the protein (elite move). My friends got arroz con pollo, carne asada tacos, and the wildest dish on the table ... the El Molcajete. It came out sizzling in a stone bowl loaded with shrimp, beef, chicken, chorizo, cactus, and all the fixings. We all shared bites and it was unreal. We ended the night with the staff singing happy birthday and completely embarrassing my friend with a sombrero and a candle in his shot. Incredible. Definitely will be coming back, especially for that margarita deal and birthdays!

Happy hour was 3-6pm I think, and there were 2 taco specials on the board. I'm not sure if it was valid or not.. There was one person at the bar taking orders, serving drinks, and pretty much running the place. She was very busy. The anxiety of watching her try to handle everything made me a little uncomfortable. She was doing her best, and kuddos to her for not flipping a table and walking out. She was nice, but she asked us every 3-4 minutes if we knew what we were ordering. It was very aggravating. I don't think she realized after several times we were over it. The inside is pretty much a bar setting with a few booths. It's very dated and low-key kind of gloomy inside. I'd say this is a bar for locals, not really a restaurant. It's definitely the kind of food you could eat if you had a few drinks, maybe. But sober, heck no!! Lol. Ugh. I was excited to try them because they have some 5 star reviews, but it wasn't what I expected. When it was time to eat she went and got the cook from outside. We ordered 2 burgers and fries, and chicken nachos. We left and came back to pick up our order and the seats at the bar was packed at this point. The waitress met us as we walked in, with our food. I was hungry, so I tried the food in the car. The burger was definitely a frozen patty and thick as heck. It looked decent kinda sorta, in a way, maybe, just a little bit. Idk what to say. The fries were crispy but awkwardly greasy!! There was one tiny tomato on my burger and a huge onion that was a little moldy. I've never seen someone use a slice of onion this big on a burger. The burger definitely needed seasoning. I think if it had flavor it would have been decent. I'll give the burger a 4/10. My sister got the chicken nachos and she was not happy. Whatever mystery beans they had made were disgusting. They tasted old or something was off about them. The guacamole was a little sour tasting also, and the chicken was flavorless. She tried so hard to make it work, she even re-cooked the beans and it just didn't help. 2/10!!! She spent $25 and felt it was the worse decision she made all day. I wish I was exaggerating or something, but this is actual factual. The prices are reasonable, I'll say that. But it's definitely certain things to stay away from on the menu. I don't think we'd ever return. Maybe the tacos are better than what we had ordered. If you're looking for a drink maybe things would be better. I think they specialize in drinks over food!?

It's a bar a little dive kinda spot I had ordered the bacon cheeseburger for my boy, the grilled chicken nachos for myself. I can appreciate that they didn't put the toppings on the nachos or burger. My sister has gotten some kind of burger also lol. I get dropped off gave my son his food looks like it's about to be good lol until he heats it up for a second, I put all the fixings on my nachos right. Believing things was about to hit smh nope.. my kid said mom I appreciate you bringing me something to eat home but.... The burger tastes like nothing was like chewing sawdust bacon was the only thing to taste alright, fries were ok though. now lol for my nachos looks can be deceiving. My lettuce was brown and wilted, was supposed to be like a refried beans I guess ‍ they were kidney beans looked those. When i say they smelled like I was taken back by the look of things but when my crazy self tasted that mess my lawdt smh had my stomach doing flips. Also the guacamole tasted like that was old and sour. I have had guac with too much lemon or lime juice in it, this was like past its time only looked ok due to the lemon juice or whatever. Will not be doing that again. The ambiance was chill a few of those slot games bar area in the middle of the place a few tables around it nothing to really hype up. I will say even though we didn't care for what we had, maybe it was a bad day. ‍ Who knows other things may be good if we stop past that beauty store again, I'd go and try the lumpia or fried fish taco. Was told that they taste really good. lol honestly y'all go be the judge for yourselves could have been an off day.
