“ Awesome Mexican food service was excellent and very helpful and friendly they even sent us home with some chips and green salsa. Portions were big and even had some leftovers to take home!! ”

“ First time eating at IJ’s and we had a good experience. It was a table of 7 of us and they attended us quickly and food didn’t take long to come out either. What could improve is their green salsa dip they bring out when they serve the chips. The salsa tastes very thick (smoothie like texture) and has no flavor. Could easily improve everyone’s experience by having a better green salsa. Very easy. Anyways, I do wish they offered “agua frescas” that would also be something to add on the menu and for sure would bring people to come back and eat. I asked for horchata and so did 3 other people in our table and they don’t have that here. ”

“ Wife, son and I have been coming here for YEARS. Literal years. We have had the pleasure of being served and assisted by Cyrus since he was a server. He is now Manager and over the years his consistency and dedication to providing top tier service has not disappointed. Not ONCE. The level of professionalism and customer service he exhibits is outstanding. I recommend this location wholeheartedly and without doubt. I love coming here and it’s become a tradition in my little family. If he was to leave so would I. ”

“ It's a bit embarrassing, but we came about 30 minutes before they were about to close. We were treated kindly and respectfully, anyway. Fortunately, we figured out what we wanted quickly. It was made fresh and arrived right away. We really enjoyed every bite! Our server, Adrian, was courteous, checking on us from time to time to make sure we were satisfied and to see whether we needed anything. He even offered us paper napkins; something very few wait staff do (in my experience). There were musicians in the next room practicing a little here and there. They sounded pretty good, and I would rather have heard them than some of the music that was played on the speakers. Overall, the atmosphere was good. All the workers seemed content. The way it is decorated is very nice, I was pleasantly surprised at the state of the bathroom! Their prices are about what you'd expect at any sit-down restaurant. We split their big appetizer sampler. It has plenty of protein. Between that and the fresh tortillas chips (with their wonderful green salsa), neither of us left hungry. It was about $18. Not bad for two people. ”

“ From the minute we walked in til we walked out everyone in the restaurant spoke to us, we’re smiling and very helpful. That was my first time so I had many questions. The waitress was exceptional in answering them, being patient, always smiling and never making us feel like we were bothersome. The Manager heard it was our first time there, came to introduce himself and offered us a complimentary plate Sopapilla’s. Everything was exceptional. We will go back. ”

- Elaine Permenter -

“ This place actually surprised me! The food is amazingly good! Great flavor the only detail is from the plate I ordered I was a bit disappointed on the cheese tostada. But other than that wow! Their sampler is good size and their 3 leches is authentic! Definitely recommend . ”
