	+ ------ + ''2009-11-16 11:54:04'' [[nbsp]] $9 for a massive burrito and a Dogfish Head 60 minute IPA is an absolute steal. Yes, some of the fillings can be over-spiced, but John's strikes the best balance between quality, affordability, and atmosphere in the city. --["Users/MarkNewell"]

I tried the Mexican mush a long time ago and didn't care for it and usually just stick to the burritos. Usually a small burrito is plenty filling and I'm glad to see that they've recently started seasoning their rice and balancing ingredients more (before it was just too much beans and rice). Drink specials are always really cheap and the homemade hot sauces that are on every table are FANTASTIC so be sure to try them. And the staff have always been very courteous to us and service has always been quick. --["Users/MikeWu"]

	+ ------ + ''2009-07-09 18:02:21'' [[nbsp]] I get takeout from here frequently and think they have the best burritos in Rochester. The large burritos probably weigh two pounds and are cheap for what you get. The chicken is very spicy and they have a bunch of good fillers to put in the burritos. The mush and guac are also really good. I haven't ordered anything else because their burritos are too good. I can't comment on the service but they are fast for takeout if you call ahead. --["Users/KeithOlsen"]

A couple out of town co-workers and I went because other than one time out of many, we've had good experiences here. I recommend Jon's to everyone. + + First off, there were way too many flies. No just puny flies, huge noticeable ones. Secondly, they did not have any unbeef. I am assuming we were the first in the place for lunch because we were the only ones in there. How could you not know you are out of something when you take an order? Next, when one of us asked for ice for our water, they said they had no ice. How can you not have ice? And finally, the server just seemed uninterested and mumbled. I am not expecting over the top gracious behavior like mom on Thanksgiving, but a simple hi when we walk in and possibly a "thank you" when giving us the check would be more appropriate than ... nothing. --["Users/JasonWilder"]

	+ ------ + ''2009-04-07 19:03:49'' [[nbsp]] Since I've been here several times since my first take, I'd like to update my original review. First off, the Mexican Mush might be the best dip since guacamole. It's a thing of beauty. Second, the prices are unbelievably reasonable. I have yet to pay over $15 for an appetizer, a filling meal and a drink. Third, I don't walk out of there feeling overburdened by the grease in my veins. The food contains healthy ingredients and I feel good about eating there. I must say that I have yet to be blown away by the entrees I've had, though. There seems to be too many flavors going on at once in the things I've eaten. However, since they have the Mexican Mush market cornered, I'll keep returning. --["Users/BatGuano"]

- ''2008-11-07 11:38:53'' [[nbsp]] I went here two nights ago. I greeted by a friendly waitress at the door. The place has really fun Mexican decor which provides for a really cool, relaxed atmosphere. The prices looked pretty fair, and by looking around, the portions looked very generous. I got a chicken burrito. The burrito comes with rice, black or refried beans, and your choice of four fillers, including things like cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, etc. The burrito was gigantic. I found all of the ratios of the fillings were perfect, with a LOT of chicken. The chicken is very flavorful, with a spicy peppery kick. I found John's TexMex much better than Salina's in village gate. It's around the same price, but the burrito at John's was much more flavorful, and came with things other than just chicken, whereas at Salina's one would have to pay for all of those sides, not to mention the fact that the John's burritos were much bigger.

That said, this place is obviously run by communists - its incredibly inefficient with multiple people handling your table, resulting in pretty much dreadful service as nobody knows what's going on. HOWEVER - its more than worth it because the food really is special - its simple and honest, and delicious. My cousin always has a hard time with the front door. --["Users/MarcusKroll"]

	+ + A 2/7/07 review in ["City Newspaper"] by Adam Wilcox praises John's as serving "copious quantities at reasonable prices" and recommends the "screaming deal" of chips with guacamole for Mexican mush ($2). (Check out the menu below for the definition of mush!) Wilcox points out that other Mexican places have bigger menus, but John's has "distinctive features" such as the neighborhood feel, the focus on vegetarians, and several interesting types of soup. The review also mentions the friendly, efficient service and great character of the place.

(2) They gave me the wrong change. (3) The food gave me really bad diarrhea.

I’ll never go back again. --["ZedOmega"] - ------ - ''2006-08-10 07:29:17'' [[nbsp]] Had a chicken burrito and salsa & chips. The burrito was good & very large and I swear it was the best salsa I've ever had. --["TravisOwens"] - ------ - ''2006-08-31 12:19:34'' [[nbsp]] Best burrito in Rochester - but that isn't saying much. I would agree that the employees are a bit spacy, but what do you expect for a $4 burrito? --["EllenKelsey"] - ------ - ''2006-09-05 09:47:49'' [[nbsp]] I've been here twice with friends and family. Excellent Value and tasty food. I'd say it's on par with Coyote Moon though about 40% less expensive. It can get a bit busy resulting in a bit of a wait. My friends especially liked the shredded beef tacos. Overall Taco John's is one of the best values in town. --["DevinWiesner"] - ------ - ''2006-09-06 10:12:03'' [[nbsp]] Went again with coworkers, food was great. It is a very small space but they should add at least 1 more table, and a 3rd chair to the 2 chair tables. --["TravisOwens"] - ------ - ''2006-09-08 10:17:12'' [[nbsp]] The tofu burritos are deeeelish!

Burritos are huge. I ordered two but took the second home because I was stuffed. They really have a lot to offer. As of 9/9 seating is still a problem but I’m told they are working that out. :) --["RickUrwin"] - ------ - ''2006-09-24 20:09:14'' [[nbsp]] We are working with Seth @ Staach on 2 booths in the windows of the restaurant.

Friendly owner and employees too. --["DanielMiner"] - ------ - ''2006-10-23 15:33:57'' [[nbsp]] The food is delicious. No, it's not authentic Mexican, but I prefer this style over the bean and corn-heavy authentic South American food I used to get in Brooklyn. Very friendly...My only complaint I guess is very limited drink selection (not bad, just limited), and that it can sometimes be extremely busy, though the crowd usually clears in fifteen minutes or so. --["IsaacVanDuyn"] - ------ - ''2006-11-13 23:39:54'' [[nbsp]] Awesome burritos (I usually get the tofu or the beef), and the Mexican Mush is also quite tasty. --["CatherineConnolly"] - ------ - ''2006-11-14 19:36:00'' [[nbsp]] This is a halfway respectable burrito joint. It's good enough that it makes me pine for the burritos you can get on Mission St. in San Francisco. These burritos are not quite good enough to equal them. They're the best I've had in Rochester, though. --["CedrickStanton"] - ------ - ''2006-11-18 22:10:15'' [[nbsp]] Pretty good, especially for the prices. The burrito was huge.
