A super authentic, hole-in-the-wall spot for Mexican food in West Jefferson!…read more I wanted four tacos- 2 al pastor, 2 campechanos- but something must have gotten lost in translation bc I received all al pastor. Honestly, not a big deal bc it was delicious haha; I especially loved the contrast of the pineapple and fatty pork (also comes with cilantro, onions & lime). If you get a full order (4 tacos), the waiter informed me that you can only get 2 different kinds (not specified on the menu). Also got an horchata, which was perfectly sweet, cinnamon-y, and refreshing. The ambiance is good with booth seating. Service was friendly, but wait time (both for getting seated/orders taken and receiving the food) and attention (getting utensils, water refilled) could be improved, but this could have been due to the lunch rush. Lots of parking in the adjacent lot. 8.5/10 would recommend!

While not much to look at on the outside, the food was fresh and tasty, the service was efficient and prices were reasonable. And it wasn't only us, shortly after being seated a group of 8 (presumably) Mexicans (or at least native Spanish speakers) sat down, which is always a good (and validating) sign. Would recommend for a solid Mexican meal!

Their flagship Jooce isn't bad but really 3 of 5 not any higher. The rest? Solid 2s at best. Better news, brisket is solid, fried pickles and curds are very good but burger? 2.5 stars. Not freshly ground, very little flavor and definitely not worth more than $10.

It's only about half a block off the main street in West Jefferson, so it's an easy walk if you're out shopping downtown. The vibe inside is really cool -- it feels like it might've been an old automotive shop at some point, but now it's got a warm, modern, laid-back atmosphere that totally works. Service was fast and friendly. I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich, and it was honestly one of the best I've ever had: crispy edges, juicy inside, a great char, and real flame-grilled flavor. The onion rings were super crispy and delicious too. My daughter loved her mac and cheese. And the This Is Not The Muffler Shop IPA was a perfect, flavorful beer to round everything out. Highly recommend stopping here if you're in West Jefferson!

The Mexican waitress messed up my order, as I wanted 3 Tacos & 1 enchilada but I got a plate of enchiladas with green verde sauce. The refried beans were ice cold and the rice was col. Normally I would have sent them back, but all I wanted was one enchilada so I kept my mouth shut. The Tacos were totally without taste, where are the spices? I have to say it was my worst lunch in many years, no exaggeration! I was going to give two stars but I need to tell you to avoid this place like most patrons in the know, Sorry

The service was prompt and food was piping hot and fresh. Everything we tried was delicious. I had the trout (figured there was a lot of trout fishing around so it should be good) and we split the sweet potato bites. Didn't try any of the beers as it's not part of the current diet but we plan on coming back to do so.

My wife had the pot roast, which is excellent. I had the meatloaf, which hands-down is the best meatloaf I've ever had. It was not greasy, it was not slathered in ketchup. It had a great flavor, and there was even a little char around the edge of the meatloaf, which gave it added texture that is just phenomenal. Fun fact: there are two locations about a block away from each other. One is the restaurant where you can get all of their beers, and a full menu. That is where we went. The other one is the brau haus, which is basically mostly beer and some food, I.e. pizza.
