I wouldn't feed this to my dog. To start walking in the restaurant does not feel clean at all. Then you seat yourself, not an issue. We ended up ordering a cheese quesadilla ($4) for an appetizer and was given the smallest quesadilla I think I have ever seen. Tasted good but it's hard to mess up. I ordered the cheese enchilada and my fiancé ordered the beef burrito. I wasn't aware that when it says it comes with lettuce that means wilted and soggy lettuce as the literal filling. Pretty sure there was more lettuce than cheese. Fiancé said his burrito wasn't bad but wasn&apos

Where do I start.... If I could give this zero stars I would! Walked in and was seated. Order drinks and food right off the bat. 15 mins later Came back and IDed one of the 4. While sitting for another 5 mins there was bug that fell from the ceiling into my beard. Food came out before drinks. Waitress said sorry I was in the kitchen making your food. I have not gotten to your drinks yet. Tacos came out cold and thrown together. Kraft cheese no condiments, worst taco I have ever seen. Upon biting into the unseasoned chicken one of the patrons pulled out a long course gray hair. One of the patrons

Just ate at OJ's. Food was marginal. Nothing authentic about this place. Waitress was good. Nothing wrong with service. The prices are ridiculous. Small plates and high prices. The single layer nacho was over $13 and a single taco over $4. No chips were served at the table. You do get salsa which was good but you stare at it until your food comes. We don't plan on going back.

After hearing this place was so good for many years..my husband and I were in the area and decided to try it. We walked in sat ourselves and looked at the menu..both of us thinking we should just get up and leave...however we tried it...he ordered 2 tacos...one beef one chicken...he took a bite and said immediately..I can't eat this ...this is nothing more than canned chicken...I ordered an enchilada..beef...it was smothered in cheese...no enchilada sauce or anything..inside slimy lettuce with beef...I just can't stomach slimy lettuce. I took one bite and one bite of the beans which were

We eat here probably close to once a month. And I ALWAYS order the Gut Buster with cottage cheese and jalapenos. My only complaint is that when you place this order to go, it doesn't automatically come with rice and beans. But it does when you order dine in. I'm not sure why that is? Other than that, we will continue to eat here as usual. Thanks!

Decided to go there with a large party to celebrate a few birthdays. I can say with the upmost certainty, that we will never be going back.
Seat yourself situation. Salsa is sitting out in jars when you get to your table, which in itself is an issue. We were greeted by a friendly waitress who brought us some waters. She asked us for additional drinks and then came back later for our orders. In the meantime, I glanced over the menu. I was surprised how small it was, and at the prices of some of their menu selections. Their guacamole appetizer cost ~$11, and they didn't have a smaller option

After hearing this is one of the best authentic Mexican restaurants, we finally tried OJ's. Not even close. I'm not into HUGE portions, however the Taco Salad I ordered was very very small for what I paid for. The Enchilada was a normal size, but with both there was zero seasoning and very plain. Their menu wasn't 10 pages long, which is very nice. The service was decent, but it was not overly busy.
If you need a quick place to eat and don't have any expectations, it will do. I would consider Romeo's more authentic.

When OJ's opened, it was apparently delicious. Years ago, Randy Travis autographed his photo there. Yesterday, for the first time in 15 years, I went back. Sadly, it was awful. The nacho chips were stale and barely edible (and I'm not that picky). The food is NOT Mexican, or even Tex-Mex for that matter. It's like amateur Mexican. Both my wife and I had stomach upset the following day--which, despite the "blah" experience, we were NOT expecting. On a positive note though, the salsa was delicious. Too bad it didn't save the restaurant.

Pro: place was clean, chips & salsa was very good but unlike most Mexican places you have to pay for it. Con: way overpriced and I do mean way. A single bean and rice burrito was $10 with no sides. Food was very bland. If they didn't charge so much I'd consider going back if I was nearby, but count me out from now on.

OJ's is small little Mexican restaurant located right before the Mormon bridge directly off I-680. It has that stuck in time type of vibe going on, inside and out. I think the other reviews tend to sum it up, either you really like it, or feel...meh. I do get a craving for OJ's from time to time, and my go to meal is the Chicken Enchilada. The menu says it's a 'gut buster' and it is. There is probably way too much cheese on it, but along with their salsa, it does the trick. The salsa I actually really like. Enough heat, and tasty!

For years I've driven by this place on my way to the airport and wondered how it was.. Finally I have tried this place and it's not bad. I had the tacos and the chips and salsa and they were okay nothing spectacular. I will probably never go here again because of the location but it's alright food for the price.. The inside is kinda outdated yet still charming.

This place had a lot of charm, and the staff was kind, but the food was pretty meh. It's a VERY Americanized Mexican restaurant. I sat at the "bar" near the kitchen, and everything I saw coming out was covered in thickly-shreded cheddar cheese.
I had two tacos (on sale for $2.00 each before 6:00 p.m.) and was amazed by the amount of cheese that covered the first one (fortunately I ordered them one at a time so I could adjust my order accordingly for the second). The basic taco here is ground beef, lettuce, tomato, and shredded cheese. The basic taco at most "real" Mexican

I'm torn..... I had the burrito. It's definitely not authentic Mexican food. More like an American making Mexican but keeping American qualities. For example, the burrito had chunks of beef... not ground beef.... some cheap steak I'm guessing. Beans were also included along with some kind of gravy. And by gravy, I mean the kind you'd put over mashed potatoes. This was all wrapped in a fresh flour tortilla and cheese melted on top. It was huge! But it was also $9.95. The taste was OK. To give it a kick I put some of the homemade salsa on top. Much better!

Took out of town family there tonight for early dinner. Honestly I am undecided still how I feel ...
I ordered the meat nachos which were tasty. I had to pay extra for the sour cream (?) but what made the dish was the sauce that they had table side! I assume they make it there and it made the nachos alone worth going back for!
Family that was with me ordered the taco salad as well as some kind of taco plate. There was a brief description, but one would assume for approximately $9 the taco would have come with beans or rice. It didn't and the salad was basically the size of the taco - in
