“ Located along Georgia Avenue N.W. in Brightwood is a family-owned restaurant called J & J Mex-Taqueria. With tie-tied floors, the menu is full of tacos, burritos and other Mexican favorites. I went for lunch on a Wednesday in December 2021. Here's my experience: 1) Food: They serve breakfast (sandwiches and tacos), lunch and dinner. If you go for lunch or dinner, you can't go wrong on any of their tacos. A single taco ranges between 3.25 and 4 and comes in corn or flour tortillas. I ordered three chorizo tacos on flour tortillas Mexican style (onions and cilantro) and it filled me up. They were full of flavor so much that they didn't need salsa. (They have medium and hot salsa in case you want it.) 2) Service: It's quick and friendly. Once I downed my three tacos, one of the workers laughed that I must have enjoyed it because I ate them so fast. Yes, it's true. They were soooo good. 3) Space: It's a small space with colorful walls, floor and art on its walls. A public restroom is in the way back. It's kept clean and tables are frequently wiped down. 4) Location: It's on a strip with plenty of other food options, but J&J is one of he best! 5) Parking: It can be harder to find along busy George Avenue NW, but I found easy street parking a few blocks away at 9th and Sheridan Ave NW. Open daily, except for Sunday, it's a worthy contender for a go-to lunch or dinner spot. ”
“ The lady at the counter was so helpful and patience with my son. He didn't know what he wanted and she gave him some suggestions. He ended up getting th chicken nachos and a shrimp taco. ”
“ Food so good I went back the next day! We happened upon this place and heard their birria tacos were good, so we had to try their birria tacos. They weren't good; they were FANTASTIC! Supremely delectable. We had the chicken birria, pork birria and beef birria and went back next day for pork birria. They also have tres leches which is great! Haven't had anything else there but will definitely go back to try more of their food. The staff is super nice and welcoming as well! Overall, this place is awesome! Definitely a must visit. ”
“ First time trying & I will say everything was pretty good the steak street tacos were my favorite very tender & lovely portion. I also ordered the birra tacos & chips & guac. Will definitely be back. ”
“ As a new member of this neighborhood, this was tops on my list and my first culinary stop.....and I gotta say, I think I made the right choice! I thought I would never find better tacos than the ones I had in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico....but I found em, and they’re right here in DC! I had a Carnitas, Pastor and Barbacoa taco on corn tortilla, Mexican style with a side of beans and rice. The Pastor and Barbacoa were simply otherworldly, like for reals the best I’ve ever had. The carnitas was wayyyyy above average as well. Beans were delish....rice was honestly the only thing that could’ve been better (little clumpy and dry). Homemade hot sauces set it all off - my fave was the verde-medium but the blanco-mild was really good too. I tasted hot but felt there was enough flavor to justify the long term heat in my mouf! Get here - try them out - you will never go back to Taco Bell again!!!! ”

“ I've ordered from there twice and have not been disappointed. There food is absolutely delicious and so flavorful! I want to try different dishes, but I'm so tempted to go back to what I had the last two times they were so good. What's even more wonderful is that both dishes are packed with meat. ”
