★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Death Trap · Jan 2026

Ordered this fish taco with no tomatos, so, they LOADED it with tomatos. Had I not looked and eaten one, you'd have a lawsuit. Its called FOOD ALLERGIES and they can kill a person.

★★★★★ 5.0 Eric Beavers · Jan 2026

I've only been into the restaurant once. But I'm still giving 5 stars for atmosphere. Really its the food. There's other taco/burrito joints but this plays kills. Rolled Tacos and the Carnitas Burrito! I've probably had a hundred of them form here - maybe not 100 but at least 35. I'm surprised they only rate 3.6 stars... I've never been anything but impressed. Carne Asada Burrito and the breakfast carna asadas are a good choice too but they're better in the evenings for some reason. On the weekends the menudo rips if you're into that sort of thing. A+

★★★☆☆ 3.0 M G · Dec 2025

I always critique by the salsa and their regular red salsa was so good 😊 however when I asked what salsas they had (1st timer) I was just handed a red. So. My son said his sausage breakfast burrito was the best he'd ever had - 5 stars 🤩 I'm not sold. This is not a place that wants you to sit down and eat despite all the booths. Needs some love

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Preston Houtary · Apr 2024

Seemed like a great place to eat but when the food arrived my ground beef was definitely not cooked. I called them and they were able to remake it but since I used door dash they could not remake the order and offered to refund my order. I will say the customer service seemed pretty good as they wanted to make the order right! Sharing to spread awareness as you or possibly your kids could eat this.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Comic Punk · Nov 2025

Speaking as a former Clifton resident, I adore this business. There’s a saying in Houston that the more working class the neighborhood, the better the tacos. No restaurant exemplifies that creed better in Grand Junction than El J’s I live walking distance from Los Jilbertos and will make the trip to Clifton for their 9-1-1 Burrito. Their taco portions, albeit small, usually are a commendable quality. Three usually tide me over. El J’s was also one of the first places locally to offer birria, as well. They have a great selection of original burrito, nacho & super friy options that you can only get here. I could do a whole Tik Tok series exploring the entire menu. It’s unparalleled. This place isn’t for everyone. If you are remotely adverse to traditional Mexican fare, there’s a Taco Bell
