Jo Mexican

We decided we were in the mood for some Mexican food and found this place.
What a treat! I really loved the decor of the place, from the pictures on the windows, to the way to room was painted and furnished, and the cutlery and crockery that were used (these item particularly reminded me of old farmhouse crockery and cutlery). It all gave it such a fun, relaxed, familiar feel.
The staff were wonderful and super friendly.
The food was fantastic! I had Pulled Pork Nachos and my boyfriend had a Beef Enchilada. Both delicious! Super cheesy! Very satisfying and not bad on the pocket. We ended the night off with some churros with chocolate sauce, also wonderful!
They have craft beer and cocktails also available.
Will definitely be going back again sometime :)

Have been here on three occasions - have been disappointed with the service all three times.

Do not order the corn dogs - really not nice at all.

Nachos are great! Would recommend to anyone.

Worth visiting for a quick meal or casual drink - not if you're expecting high quality food or service. Overall it's ok, but not brilliant.

Its a lovely spot to meet up after work. They have a small selection of wines. Their food is rather rich but it is authentic which ia great.
Sitting outside you can smoke and it has a nice view of the intersection. Also good for a lazy Sunday afternoon.
If you are sensitive to sugar DO NOT have their frozen Margaritas. Its a jug of sugar. Awesome. But very very unhealthy.
I like the vibe. The chilled decor and minimalistic crockery. Its a cool and different spot.

Cute decor... Very festive and fun...even with sambreros to take a picture or two. The margaritas are on too, so a super quick service. They have specials most nights, and happy hour Monday to Friday. We were there on a Saturday night. It's sad that the outside tables gets the noise from the road so we moved halfway in. We had cocktails and also dome craft beer on tap. All very enjoyable. The food was yummy, chimmichanga, enchiladas and tacos (the tacos was the least popular at out table). Poppers were great too, cream cheese filled. Dessert, we tried both dishes that they have on the menu, the nachos didn't have enough sauce on the bottom layers, we had to ask for extra sauce, and churros isn't in the traditional shape (and no sugar coating?)..... But enjoyable either way. very attentive waiter... "mash potatoes".

Love the food. the new management is making this place great again. Staff is amazing by making you feel at home. My mom had a wonderful time with her friends and family on her birthday. Thank you Johan (new owner) for everything.

ARIBA! ARIBA! ANDALE! Probably one of the BEST texmex food places I have been to in quite a while! Wonderfully colourful interior with unique painted tables. The menu is varied u0026 reasonably priced. I can HIGHLY recommend the frozen margaritas. The jalapeno poppers are ZINGY!

The staff is well versed in dealing with large groups u0026 offered separate bills without being prompted. Everyone's accounts were in order at the end of the meal and there was none of the usual "Guys - who had the third chimichanga???" shenanigans that group dining usually results in.

Can't wait to visit again and will most certainly tell others about this cultural u0026 culinary fiesta!

Jo Mexican has been one of my favourite neigborhood restaurants since opening its doors a few years ago. The quality of food, beverages and personal attention to service jas remained consistent through time.

I highly recommend the Chimichanga, Burritos and Tacos. True to form, the Jalapeño Poppers are spicy but the remainder of dishes are mildly spiced. Additional Almost Death Sauce may be requested by diners with a scorching apetite.

The frozen and also the shaken Margaritas are sublime, but a fully stocked bar, craft and draft beers cater to other preferences.

Generous portions at a reasonable price served in upbeat, colourful surroundings.
