What we serve

Four things we do, and we do them every day.

Nothing fancy on this menu, just the tacos and plates the block has been eating for years, plus a few ways to take the kitchen home with you or into the office.

The tortilla

It starts with the tortilla.

Every morning before we open, we mix, ball and press our own flour tortillas. Not delivered, not from a bag. When a tortilla is this fresh it's soft, a little puffed at the edges, and it holds everything you put in it. That's why people tell us the tortillas are the reason they come back.

  • Pressed in-house, every single morning
  • Made for breakfast tacos and lunch plates alike

The salsas

The salsa is our grandmother's. We just make it every day.

The recipes haven't changed since she made them. We make the salsas fresh in the kitchen and put them on the counter for whatever you're eating. If you run out at home, we sell it by the pint so you don't have to.

  • Family recipes, made in our kitchen
  • Available by the pint to take home

Catering

Feed the whole office without the whole office leaving.

A lot of our regulars work nearby, and sooner or later someone asks if we cater. We do. Tell us your headcount and when you need it, and we'll put together breakfast tacos or lunch for the team, with salsa to match.

Word on the block

What people actually say about us.

Ask around South Congress and you'll hear the same two things: the tortillas are made fresh, and the line moves fast. We take both as a compliment and a responsibility.

Our story

Family-run on South Congress since 2017.

Jonnys Tacos has been a family operation from the first morning. We opened in 2017 to serve the people who live and work around us, and we still press the tortillas ourselves and cook the salsas from the recipes our grandmother passed down. It's a small shop with a simple idea: do the same thing well, every day.
