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.
