JC’s Tacos and More is a Latin American restaurant located on Henderson Highway, in what was the old Elmwood Post Office. The post office was an Elmwood landmark, that ceased operation around 25 years ago. For a while the building was home to an art gallery, and then JC’s Tacos and More opened up about 10 years ago.
Great fresh food, and worth the wait. JC does a great job with all the dishes I have tried so far. Price might be a bit on the high side but you definitely get what you pay for. Decor is awesome and in your face traditional which I enjoyed. Seemed to be a lot of people coming in for take out. Enchilada was huge and stuff with more than we could finish. Food didn't have that overseasoned high sodium "effort" that some places seem to do to have things full of flavour. Simple flavour and ingredients and delicious. I will definitely be back.
The only complaint I have is that it seems like we were over charged. Bf got the enchiladas, son got the nachos, I got the sm padillas(might have misspelled that), 2 drinks and 1 beer, all for under $90! We were not expecting that! .. Although, I don't think I've ever been to a restaurant with such super friendly staff, and owner!!! The environment even gives you that Mexican feel! Everything is home made, made with fresh ingredients from the sauces, tortillas, nachos, salsa, and guacamole. The portions are huge so be prepared to walk out with a full belly. Will definitely be back.... but will check the receipt next time.
The atmosphere is vibrant and really has an authentic feel. The staff are pleasant and service is great. The cook even showed me how to make tortillas by hand.
I recommend the tostadas, they were amazing. I will definitely be a repeat customer. Next time you want a real taste of Mexico do not 'run for the border' ... Get to JC Tacos instead; you will not be disappointed
great experience here! friendly staff! huge portions for the food prices. lots of hot sauce selections. i love their mexican theme restaurant. fresh food made to order. i would come back here again!
Make sure you're hungry when you go. Large portions, and amazing food. The service is fast, and they have an excellent selection of beverages.
By far the best quesadillas I have ever tasted! The pico is so fresh and full of flavour! They care about giving their food the freshest ingredients possible and it is shown in the flavours of all the dishes. The drinks all make for a great addition to the meal and you cannot go wrong with any flavour! Owners are extremely friendly and truly care about giving their costumers the best Mexican food Winnipeg has to offer!
Good food! Good service! Pricy, but pretty tasty! Place has a welcoming vibe to it. Visited here for lunch with the fiance, I had the chicken taco salad its got that nice zing to it. Good portion size at least I was able to take some home and eat the rest of it later. Presentation of the food is well presented. Their fresh natural drinks that they make are delicious. I decided to go with the creamy looking one (forgot its name) but it tasted pretty good. Hibiscus is good too - got a sample of the taste. I would go here again when I have extra $$. I would like to try their other menu items, definitely coming back for Cinco De Mayo.

AWESOME! This definitely beats your typical dinner out! Amazing atmosphere of authentic Mexican decor (did you know that those tables and chairs were made and hand painted in Mexico?!). All products available, including beverages and items for purchase in their "pantry" are all from Mexico/Mexican brands.
The restaurant was quiet when we went, but we ordered burritos, and took our seats. The food came out within 7 minutes, was pipping hot, and was delicious!! The burrito portion looked like a small baby... enormous! I highly recommend the avocado-jalapeno aioli sauce available too. The burrito was filled with meat, which is awesome - they didn't skip and just stuff in "fillers" (rice, beans, etc). The plating included some sour cream, salsa, and shredded lettuce to use at your discretion. I could only finish half of my meal, and got the rest for take away... this is the first time that day-old leftovers were just as good as they were fresh!
I enjoyed a lime Jarrito's soda while there, which was amazing also.
Highly recommend, can't wait to go back!
Has some free range meats, and shud be change 3 $ signs not 2 imo. Ordered an enchilada for 14.99 + tax. Was a bit pricey. Was 3 gals working there. 1 canadian at the till, and was glad to see some authenticity with 2 mexican gals in the kitchen. Menu on the wall says the chicken and pork is free range. Beef apparently is natural, which i'm not sure meant. Asked the gal at the till if the meats were also antibiotic free and fed organic feed. She did not know. I ordered a pork pineapple enchilada for takeout. It looked like beef to me actually because of the darker color of the meat. Ate it pretty fast, not sure if there was pineapples in there actually. Got a coupon for an enchilada for 9.99. Think that should be their regular price on it. If the meat is certified organic then it should be 14.99 imo. Also didn't ask what they mean by the beef is natural vs. the chicken and pork being free range. Should be changed to a rating of $$$ from $$ imo.
Nothing but the best, great Mexican food.
With Brilliant service( I believe he was the owner) and even the our server was super nice. 😍 Even offered drinks, super humble people.
Tried the Chicken Tacos and veggie enchiladas. Hand down the best i have had in such a long time. Definitely, would go back for more. 🤘
The food was fresh and juicy. Both Tacos and enchiladas were brilliant.
Additional Salsa and a little more of sour cream would be great!
10/10 place for mexican food.
It’s Tuesday and I felt like a taco was necessary. Today I stopped at JC’s Tacos for lunch. It’s a cute and colourful restaurant.
To start I tried the pork tamale. I’ve never had a tamale, but now I understand why people love them. I’ll be back for more. They were so good.
For the main we had the chicken enchiladas and the barbacoa trio taco platter. Both were very satisfying and tasty. Both came with Mexican rice and a little side salad. The tacos also came with refried beans.
JC’s Tacos is a huge step up from your regular taco stand.
I highly recommend this restaurant!!

Normally I LOVE JC tacos. The chicken enchiladas are my favourite! I convinced my work to order our lunch from here today and I wouldn’t shut up about how excited I was for my chicken enchilada. (My three vegetarian co workers couldn’t find an option on the skip app so they ordered from somewhere else. So that was disappointing) I have a mushroom allergy and we’ve ordered from here or eaten in well over 30 times without issue. We tell them about it and the food is made accordingly. Unfortunately three bites in a see part of a mushroom. I tear apart the whole enchilada and there’s no more. It’s clearly an accident, but I’m shaking and scared I’m going to go into anaphylactic shock. All my co workers look at the piece of mushroom. Yes, we all agree. It’s a mushroom. You can see the gills in the darker part. One co worker took a tiny nibble. Yes it’s a mushroom.
I’m not removing the 5th star for that. Accidents happen. It’s how they responded when I called the restaurant that dropped my rating. They flat out argued with me three times that there was no chance there was a mushroom in my enchilada. Next time I suggest you be more sympathetic and apologetic in this situation. I was expecting, “oh my gosh! I’m so sorry! We thought we were careful with your order. Please report it on the skip app.” Instead of telling me the thing right in front of me is impossible. Especially when my life is on the line and I’m scared I might die or have to go to hospital.
I was so disappointed. I ended up eating dumb subway instead. I still love their enchiladas, but I’ll be very nervous to eat from here again.
Been here a few times and loved it each time. The photo is our order of 2 enchilada meals, and an order of chips/guac/pico. Delicious!
During peak rush hour and dinner hours, the busy Henderson Hwy and one-way street along side the restaurant can make parking a bit of a pain, but it's easily navigated and is definitely a local restaurant worth supporting.
Wowed at JC'S Tacos and More
Wow what a great eatery. We went here for Taco Week and we were not disappointed.
This was our first time trying JC'S Tacos. We parked on the street just before JC's. This street is one way, please note, the next street is also one way and you can't turn right onto it.
We entered from the front but there is a handicapped entrance at the rear. Once inside the staff was super friendly. The star of this trip was the food. These tacos were some of the best food I've ever tried.
I loved it all and the green sauce was amazing.
Go for Taco Week :)
We will be going back.
This is a great place to come and have a taste of Mexico!!
Food and service are excellent! Don’t forget to get your margarita with your meal!!
JC's Tacos never disappoints. The food is authentically Mexican. You've got to try their homemade fruit juice with in season fruit. Today it was Watermelon and Hibiscus. Delicious!
