“I love Jack's food, but sometimes the crew members don't help. The person who takes orders at night is somewhat surly. I feel sad, because even though the restaurant has good food, it isn't to blame for the way the staff treats the people I'm sorry Jack 😔😔“

“Chicken burrito was absolutely delicious. I had to force myself to slow down, I was eating so fast. So much flavor and a great portion for the price. I ordered a taco on the side because I was worried the burrito would be too small but I’m stuffed in the best way. The lady who took my order was very nice and they were pretty quick as it was just my husband and I who ordered. Maybe 15 minutes for two burritos and a taco (with a jarritos it was abt $36). I’m very happy overall with the value, portion, and quality, and definitely will be coming back. I mean, 4 tacos and a drink for $10? Wow!“

They also always add these little potato wedges in there as a little bonus which are so tasty!! Their carnitas are soooo moist and delicious!!! Very consistent and friendly service. Highly recommend.“

“This unassuming little place is a true gem. The food quality is unmatched, the portions are large and more than plentiful, and there price point it alittle less than you might expect in this economy, the service is friendly and helpful and the establishment is always clean. I would go out of my way to get there anytime but fortunately my apartment is directly behind the restaurant. That they are busy all the time means they have a high rate of turning over there food so it's all fresh and tasty, I love the place and once you try it you will always come back, sincerely Dru 😋“

“Tonight I had the pleasure to try the cuisine at the new Port Orchard location. Yareli took charge of my order at my request. I was served the best fish taco's with Verde Salsa and lime. The three taco's reminded me of eating a chefs delightful creation at a high end Bistro. I was instantly transported back in time to Mazatlán eating on the playa. I would not order fish taco's normally and Yareli picked this winner for me. Each bite was followed by a uhmmm. I expected something to tear me out of this euphoric moment but after downing three taco's I was still firmly planted in Heaven. I was wise to drip the juices and seasoning from the taco into the rice. What a nice way to accent my meal. I braced myself for the refried beans that had grown cool but found them very fresh and delicious. Yareli inquired if I would desire a dessert. I asked her to pick it since her performance on the meal was top notch. Yareli provided a strawberry filled fried churro with the most delicate aroma. I would have licked the plate if I thought I could do it without being seen. Every bite was warm, sweet and delicious. Please don't think ill of me but the only downside to this experience was cheap silverware and the food is placed on a metal tray with a paper liner. It's my own fault after being in the military so long to develop a phobia over dining utensils. So in a nutshell my experience is on par with being given a shiny new high performance car but with the wrong style valve caps for the tires. I have been truly blessed to have this experience on a rainy night in Port Orchard Washington.“

My husband and I circled around and the girl at the register greeted us. She was so sweet! She brought the food out and it was sooooooo good. I’m going to have dreams about it. 🤣 we will definitely be coming back! I had a chicken burrito and my husband had carne asada burrito. I can’t wait to try everything on the menu! $41 for 2 GIANT burritos and 2 drinks.“

The kiosk stopped working while I was placing my order, and the staff immediately stepped in to help me without any hesitation. They were extremely friendly, patient, and genuinely went out of their way to make sure I was taken care of. It’s not every day you come across staff who are this kind and welcoming. They made what could have been a frustrating situation into a really positive experience. I definitely appreciate how nice everyone was and will absolutely be coming back!“
