The last two times we have got tacos the quality is not there. My cheese was not even melted on my taco. It seems like the tacos were premade and re heated in microwave. Unfortunately we won’t be going back.

With all the Mexican restaurants popping up on the south side, Henry J's is still the best around. Everything is delicious.

Great stop for a quick bite! Better tacos than Tasty Tacos - I said it. The meat and beans are mixed but it’s very good with great flavor and good heat. Less than $10 for three flour tacos. The cashier was terrific too! Wholeheartedly recommend!

I was very disappointed, I had a combo, flour taco and cheese enchilada with sides of rice and beans. The beans were ok, not smashed and creamy but left whole, the rice had a funny smell, I've never had Mexican rice smell like this rice did, made me loose my appetite. The flour taco was fried dark brown and almost burnt and the flour shell reminded me more of a wonton wrap. I left most of my food on my plate, it was just not good!! The place could stand a good cleaning too!!I really wanted to enjoy some Henry J's like I remember from back in the day but, no. I guess I will stick with Tasty Tacos.

It seems the meat and bean filling in the tacos has gotten smaller. I have been going to HJ since 1976.

When I ran molasses in trucks owned by the Italians I often found myself slowing down to gather a Pair of flour tacos from Henry J's. Drive slow and pick up a pair. You can thank me on Monday.
