J & J Mex-taqueria

Don’t let the exterior or somewhat rundown atmosphere dissuade you — this is some of the best Mexican food I’ve had on the East coast so far, especially for the price! I really recommend the smothered burrito or the Burria tacos, they were amazing! Again, it looks kind of sketchy, but it was so good!

Overall it was a cute little place for a quick bite. The tacos were great, but the torta was a little underwhelming (I wish they toasted the bread). I do have one feedback and that is the tables need to be wiped down better — ours was a bit dirty. The service was good, everyone was friendly. Good, chill atmosphere and the restroom was clean. I definitely would want to go back and check out the other items on the menu.
