I have been to JL dozens of times. It's our friendly neighborhood Mexican restaurant. The tortilla chips they serve are always fresh, the salsa is unique and the majority of the staff is either the owner, his wife and their kids. All good friendly people.
The food is good and I always enjoy it but it really depends on what day you show up. For me, the problem is consistency. On the good days the food is fresh and well seasoned and on the bad days it's as bland as hospital food and that makes me sad.
They have a card program that is useful, seven visits and you get a $6 off your next meal. Not bad. And they have my favorite drink pineapple Fanta! Good place.
