We lived in San Diego and ate at JV's for years. It is THE place to have a great experience with Mexican food in the area. But, let's explain - JV's is not a fancy upscale restaurant. It has a small-town diner feel. You pay at the counter and wait about 15 minutes while they make your food to-order. We... More

We were looking for some authentic Mexican food during our visit to San Diego, so we consulted Trip Advisor. There we read rave reviews for JV's, so we decided to try it. We were not disappointed! Someone had posted that the burritos were almost as big as a baby - no exaggeration there! The food is authentic, delicious, and ample,... More

We went the other day, based on the reviews on trip advisor. We were at a conference by the airport and did not really know where this place was, so we took a cab. About $20 later, we pulled up to a corner restaurant of a small strip mall. It's almost like a taco stand with a few tables inside.... More

My husband and I are visiting SD and we had a craving for Mexican so we stoped by VJ's (because the reviews were so good on Trip Advisor). Well, all I can say its the best Mexican food we have had so far! My husband got the California burrito & I got two chix tacos with guacamole. The portions are... More

Every time we are in town we make sure to stop here. This time I tried the mordiditas. In a word, amazing. Thank you for always being great!

My son brought me to this place, and when I first walked in I was nervous. It seemed everyone knew everyone except me. Then I found out why. Everyone was so friendly. The staff and the customers. Then I ordered a surf and turf burrito. What I received was massive, overstuffed, (I'm talking shrimp and beef with fixings...not a ton... More

And man... they are still so good. I went for the Surf and Turf Burrito and did not go wrong. For about $8 I got a burrito longer than my forearm that has served me for 3 meals stuffed with shrimp, steak and vegetables. My friends loved it too.

Been here twice and plan on going back so much more. The burritos are probably a little bit smaller than a baby, but it's not just the size that matters; the taste is delicous. I've enjoyed everything I've tried here. Customer service is friendly and the place is truly a little "hole in the wall" authentic type place that many... More

I ordered a few items from the menu, I found everything to be very bland. Parking is bad, there is plenty on the street.
