New favorite find! I’m new to the area and stumbled on this little Mexican spot and wow, it did not disappoint.
• The fish tacos were crispy + fresh (their tortillas are perfection).
• The salsa bar is 🔥 so many good choices.
• The fresca of the day was beyond refreshing.
• And they’ve got great outdoor seating for soaking it all in.

Best part? The owner, Joe, was super kind and friendly; you can tell he really...

It's been 15 years since I last ate at Joe Vera's so I was a little nervous recommending it to my wife. Shouldn't have worried. Same excellent food, great salsa, homemade chips, and reasonable prices. I won't wait another 15 years to go back.

Upon entering the restaurant right at opening, the place had an unpleasant smell for some reason. We stopped by for a quick food break. Got their tacos, it was delicious the meat was marinated really well. Just a bit too salty for my liking. Chips and salsa was also delicious. Staff were kind. :)
