COJONES TACOS & TEQUILA REVIEWS

First impression was good, the decor and atmosphere was great. Alex was our server tonight, he was amazing. Very knowledgeable and incredibly friendly. The food was fantastic and margarita pitchers were very delicious. Only thing I would have changed is to improve the street corn a little, they were good but could easily be improved. Overall we really enjoyed our dinner here tonight and commented how we could have stayed and drank Margarita's all night. Can't wait to come back next time we're in town.

I'm still drooling thinking about this place. Their tacos are amazing, and I recommend the queso! I had the beef dorado de bierra and my partner had a vegetarian dish (can't recall the name). We had some drinks and followed things up with churros. Everything was excellent! Attendants were very friendly and we'll definitely come back next time we're in St. John's.

Great place with great food! Our server was great in helping pick good beers to try and everything came in a timely manner. Would definitely recommend and visit again!.

BURRITOS MEXICAN GRILL REVIEWS

I love my bean-filled burritos. I have one about once a week. I get my guacamole separately in a ittle plastic container. Servers are friendly but also fast and efficient. Some people eat in, but I think take out is still the most popular.

Food was amazing, very delicious and fresh as always. Our server was aman with catty eyes. He is very nice, calm and pretty helpful. I definitely recommend this place and i am giving him 10/10.

Prep station always very clean. Ingredients always topped up and fresh. Even when it’s busy staff get you in and out quick and get your order right.

QUINTANAS AND ARRIBAS REVIEWS

When we visit St. John’s, this is one of our go-to spots for a bite. First, it’s getting tougher and tougher to find hot food at a restaurant. This place serves it up piping hot in a cozy atmosphere. Mexican Flag, Fajitas, or Stir fry are a favorite. Always welcoming and food is delicious and consistent. One of the best selection of beers and beverages on the island. Thanks to Tom, Jess, Laheiny and Adam plus the kitchen for making our meals special. Great service and nice chats. Can’t wait to visit again on our next trip up. One last thing, try the buenelos for desert, you won’t regret it.

Excellent service. Among the best I ever had. The food was very very tasty. Gotta love the complimentary nachos and salsa that they make in house. The food was hot, the dessert was very tasty. You couldn't ask for a nicer experience. We will be back and I recommend the speciality coffees.

My children and I went for lunch, for my sons birthday. The service was excellent. Food was awesome. I'll definitely visit again.
