Since the place is so small (cozy) it's usually pretty easy to get their attention when you need it, too. + + The burritos are huge, and even the "small" burritos are enough to fill you up. Great prices, huge beer selection (though not much of it mainstream), and-- my favorite-- mimosas. :) Any time someone comes to visit us here in Rochester, John's is ALWAYS one of the first stops we make.

	+ ------ + ''2010-10-17 17:08:08'' [[nbsp]] I like the dive atmosphere of John's, and the wait staff is friendly and weird, but how are you actually supposed to eat a burrito bigger than your head? I had to use a fork on the first two thirds. Tell you what, out west they do NOT put the rice and beans INSIDE the burrito. That's what a plate is for. (The first time I went there, I asked why they put the rice and beans inside, and a kid at the bar said, "Haven't you ever been to a Mexican restaraunt before?" Yeah, dork, in Mexico, Texas, and Colorado, and, well, it's DIFFERENT. And, come on John, go easy on the smoke flavoring. No need to pretend you barbecued it. + + What's with all the tinfoil in Rochester? Heat the plate, serve it hot, put the fillings in 2 tortillas instead of one, put the beans and rice on the plate, and everyone will still have hot food. + + That being said, I like the place better than any "Mexican" restaurant I've been to in Rochester. Salenas? What's the point of having to dose up your food with the bottled stuff on the table? Mex served monstrous burritos too, and I wonder if that's where John took his cue. Anyway, for the money, it's a good deal, and I guess I'll get used to eating my burrito with a fork. So, all told, John's is not so bad, for a place north of Binghamton. More chili pepper and cumin, and less Hickory Smoke flavoring, and I'll give it 2 thumbs up. + + Oh yeah, as others have noted, I VERY MUCH appreciate the good beer selection. --["Users/DavidRuekberg"]

	+ ------ + ''2010-10-09 12:12:59'' [[nbsp]] Unlike the other Americanized-Mexican/Tex-Mex restaurants around here that masquerade as "authentic Mexican," John's is honest that they're, well, Tex-Mex. And for the style, they hit the nail on the head. For $8 I enjoyed a combo consisting of a sizeable burrito, taco, salad and guacamole. The "Mexican Mush" filling is addicting - I don't know what spices they use but I couldn't get enough. And everything seemed pretty healthy, not greasy at all, and not overly cheese or sour cream-laden. Service was friendly and extremely fast without feeling rushed. Great bottled beer selection, too - my Moo Thunder Milk Stout actually paired quite nicely with the Mexican Mush. Overall: excellent food, drink and atmosphere for a really low price! --["Users/AJH"]

The prices are extremely reasonable and more often than not, the staff is friendly and helpful. But I felt compelled to write this review after a meal tonight that literally was not fit for our dog (we like him more than that). For a place that used to have "taco" in its name, said item (tried three ways, three chances) were uniformly awful. Soggy pieces of GLOP wrapped in foil. + + Granted, it was busy but that is no excuse for serving high school cafeteria quality food (my high school cafeteria actually served better tacos, from what I remember). I hate to be negative because I have talked to the owner and love his craft beer store next to John's, and I really think he is a great guy doing a great thing in Rochester. But for the record we will not be going back to pay money for truly awful food. It was that bad. I know we could go back next week and it would probably be edible again but this customer is going going gone. If only my stomach ache would do likewise. Ouch. --["Users/JimBarillo"]

Ordered a beef and bean burrito with cheese, olives, tomato, lettuce, sour cream and sauce. Also ordered the chips and salsa. Placing my take out order and picking it up was a breeze (minus a little maneuvering for a parking spot). I managed to make it out the door for around $10 including tip. The portions were huge - I ended up taking 1/3 of the burrito to work with me the next day. The salsa also was rationed until it was gone. SO good. --["Users/AnneRimbach"]

I arrived at 8:30 tonight disappointed to see that they had closed the doors for the night, the stools were up on the tables and the floor was being mopped. I tapped on the window hoping to find out why they were closed and gave the international 'tap on wrist regarding time' symbol, which was greeted by the girl mopping yelling at me that they were closed through the window. + + In my opinion, while I find John's to be decent, I don't think that their food goes above and beyond enough to overlook not only misleading hours posted on several websites and store itself, and the terrible attitude of the girl mopping the floor after being asked why they were closed. I certainly will not be giving John's my business nor will I be giving recommendations any longer. --["Users/illegalEAGLE"]

The burritos have a homemade, authentic feel to them which seems to be missing from commercial ventures like Moe's. They have a respectable collection of craft beers and amazing homemade hot sauces. The place is small so come early or late on the weekends. If you like guacamole, just order a side of it. The guacamole salad is a scoop of guac. on shredded lettuce. The service is friendly and fist the style of the neighborhood. --["Users/Quinoa"]

I have recommended it to my students and used their website as an example in my web design class. Well, tonight we ate there and I was sitting under a speaker and found the music jarring, so I asked to have it turned down a bit. A few minutes later it was turned back up, louder than ever, and I asked again. They turned it off but one of the waitstaff began singing loudly. When we left, he sarcastically told us to have a nice QUIET ride home. How rude is that?! What kind of a place ridicules its customers for being uncomfortable with the noise level? --["Users/CherylDugas"]

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"]

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"]

	+ ------ + ''2008-11-18 23:33:25'' [[nbsp]] Went back again and was happily surprised by the meal. + + Food came out very fast! + + The Mexican Mush chips and dip had a LOT of dip this time. The chips portion was very good. Extra chips is only 75 cents. + + This time i got a Large Burrito which comes with 4 fillings. I was much more impressed than by the small burrito with only 2 fillings. There was lots of each filling and not so much rice filler as the small burrito. The large burrito was quite large too. + + I liked how the waitress brought some sauces to the table which I didn't receive last time. They added lots of variety and spiciness to the food. I'm a sauce-lover so this was a real treat. + + Final bill was about 9.xx before tip and it was pretty filling. + + Very happy with my experience, will go again! --["Users/Drogean"]

- ''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. I will definitely be returning here very soon. --["Users/SeanToTheFuture"]	+ ''2008-11-07 11:38:53'' [[nbsp]] I went here two nights ago. I was greeted by a friendly waitress at the door.

	+ ------ + ''2008-09-19 14:58:07'' [[nbsp]] The prices are CHEAP and the portions fill you up more than you think they would. Probably some of the best salsa I've ever had in my life. 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. The guy behind the counter should spend more time doing his job and less time socializing with his friends that hang out there. 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! Only complaint is that they need more tables/chairs. They have a big open space in the middle being wasted. --["EmilyYang"] - ------ - ''2006-09-11 16:57:19'' [[nbsp]] The homemade salsa is really good. The appetizers are cheap and delish. 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. This will double our seating. We will be changing our name soon, as there is a large chain with the same name, and there is a beer and wine license on the way. --["JohnRoth"] - ------ - ''2006-09-24 21:13:53'' [[nbsp]] Not authentic Mexican, but very tasty and cheap. 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. This evening they had catfish, so we had fish tacos too, and they were very good. We'll be back. --["VickiRobinson"] - ------ - ''2006-12-29 20:02:43'' [[nbsp]] They don't answer their phone so forget about ordering ahead --["LamiLia"] - ------ - ''2006-12-30 00:38:42'' [[nbsp]] Actually, they do answer their phone, they're just closed between Christmas and new years. --["DanielMiner"] - ------ - ''2007-02-12 19:53:52'' [[nbsp]] The food was fantastic--I had the tofu burrito and taco, and my wife had the chicken taco and mush. It was all delicious (I tried a bit of her mush). Highly recommended for the person looking for a great casual meal or for those craving a substantial taco/burrito not the substandard Taco Bell fare. --["CarlGo"] - ------ - ''2007-02-13 18:45:18'' [[nbsp]] The prices are awesome and the food fantastic!!!

(2) They gave me the wrong change. (3) The food gave me really bad diarrhea. The guy behind the counter should spend more time doing his job and less time socializing with his friends that hang out there. 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! Only complaint is that they need more tables/chairs. They have a big open space in the middle being wasted. --["EmilyYang"] + ------ + ''2006-09-11 16:57:19'' [[nbsp]] The homemade salsa is really good. The appetizers are cheap and delish. 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. This will double our seating. We will be changing our name soon, as there is a large chain with the same name, and there is a beer and wine license on the way. --["JohnRoth"] + ------ + ''2006-09-24 21:13:53'' [[nbsp]] Not authentic Mexican, but very tasty and cheap. 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. This evening they had catfish, so we had fish tacos too, and they were very good. We'll be back. --["VickiRobinson"] + ------ + ''2006-12-29 20:02:43'' [[nbsp]] They don't answer their phone so forget about ordering ahead --["LamiLia"] + ------ + ''2006-12-30 00:38:42'' [[nbsp]] Actually, they do answer their phone, they're just closed between Christmas and new years. --["DanielMiner"] + ------ + ''2007-02-12 19:53:52'' [[nbsp]] The food was fantastic--I had the tofu burrito and taco, and my wife had the chicken taco and mush. It was all delicious (I tried a bit of her mush). Highly recommended for the person looking for a great casual meal or for those craving a substantial taco/burrito not the substandard Taco Bell fare. --["CarlGo"] + ------ + ''2007-02-13 18:45:18'' [[nbsp]] The prices are awesome and the food fantastic!!! Absolutely loved the mush and salsa --["MaggieSmith"] + ------ + ''2007-03-19 16:00:17'' [[nbsp]] Just got back from there, my plate was clean and I am stuffed. Good food! --["DanDangler"]
