JJ’s Cocina and Bar is a welcoming restaurant known for its flavorful food and friendly service. The rice and beans are well seasoned, almost up to abuela’s standards, and the crispy asada is highly praised for its flavor and texture, resembling a machaca crisp without needing salt. The menu features dishes like tacos with handmade tortillas, grilled chicken tacos, and taquitos, all enjoyed for their freshness and taste. The Camarones ala Diablo stands out as a delicious, generously portioned dish, widely regarded as one of the best in town. The shrimp Tostada is also appreciated for its authentic flavor, though some felt the shrimp could be more seasoned.
Desserts like chocoflan receive high praise, making them a must-try. The restaurant's atmosphere is described as inviting and beautiful, with some reviews highlighting the overall enjoyable experience. The service is consistently friendly and attentive, with a standout mention of a wonderful server. Customers appreciate the unique cocktails, such as Flor de Jamaica with fresh sage, and the housemade guacamole adds a fresh touch to meals. While drinks are considered a bit overpriced for the size, many suggest that offering rotating drink specials or serving drinks in fishbowls could improve value.
Overall, JJ’s Cocina and Bar is a favorite spot for flavorful Mexican-inspired dishes, excellent service, and a cozy ambiance worth visiting.
