A little slice of heaven. A casual family owned and operated Mexican restaurant, consistently filling customer with the best Mexican food around. The home made tortillas are to divine. This place has been a staple in my diet for the last six years. Some of my favorites include Deanna Mole, Chilaquillas, and the Chipotle chicken. One of my friends has been working through the menu and he has "never had a bad meal." I have turned a lot of people of to this restaurant and I frequently get feedback from them about how often they now visit and how they share it with their friends.

Tip: The family will not rush you. Chances are you will have to ask for the check.

oh the comfort.. I started going to los Jarritos after the old Chavaz burned down, and realized that one needn't feel like lying down and never getting back up after eating a filling up on meal of delicious handmade chips and tortillas, and something saucy-beany to boot. The breakfasts are my first love, at any time of day. The mole is spicy, but not ridiculously hot-ly so.

I went with the rest of my grimey city worker crew--lots of blue collar types. The police like it there at times, which I guess is another type of recommendation. And plenty of mission district hipsters of all stripe. The musicians who wandered in were actually pretty good, though in competition with the world cup on the tv. The service is always friendly, but since there are only a few people serving and waiting tables and working the register, they don't hurry you out.

The huge difference between my boyfriend and myself is that he doesn't eat meat or drink alcohol, and I really really like a hot bowl of birria when I'm hung over. The other soups have large chunks of vegetables and meats (or fish), and while not always carefully cut, hearty, and great for a cold foggy day.

Great Mission Spot. I live right near LJ and we can always count on them for great, fast, cheap food. Their tortillas are made fresh throughout the day and are fluffy and light. The salsas and guac are killer. Their $5.95 lunch special, which includes an entree, rice, beans, and REAL salad (no iceburg in sight!) is the best deal in the neighborhood. Eating there is not painful, but I prefer to order ahead and take-out. The family that owns and operates the place are really friendly, too!

yummie food. today i had pollo en mole and my brother had the carnitas and they were both really good. fast service. the chips and salsa was fresh and tasty too. i'm definately going back there for more food. they have a good selection of breakfast items as well as lunch specials, and dinner plates.

the only thing that sorta sucked was the street musicians walking around asking for some money after he was done playing - but i guess they're trying to make a living as well...
