Reviews Summary

Diners praise Southside Jonesy's Taco House for its generous portions and affordable prices, especially during Taco Tuesdays. While many appreciate the casual atmosphere and attentive service, some reviews point to inconsistencies in food quality and preparation, particularly with dishes like nachos and tamales, suggesting a potential difference between weekday and weekend experiences. Service can be fast, but order accuracy has been noted as an area for improvement.

"One of the local places everyone wants to find when traveling. It has the right combination of everything to make anyone feel like a regular in your favorite place. You can't go home hungry - if so, it's only your fault. Taco Tuesdays - $2 tacos and $3 margarita - don't miss it!"

"Eating here was a great experience. Much care was taken to make sure food was safe for me to eat. Food was amazing!"

Bill Goodrich

"I am in love with the double nachos but my husband and I ordered them for the first time on an weekend (Saturday) and they were very disappointing. We are willing to try one more time on a weeknight but then that's it. I will be unhappy cuz good nachos are hard to find. Hope I can change this back to a 5/5 excellent review."
