“The lady at the counter was so helpful and patience with my son. He didn’t know what he wanted and she gave him some suggestions. He ended up getting th chicken nachos and a shrimp taco.”
“Right on Georgia Avenue in the Brightwood area of D.C. is this quaint, slept on taqueria. I stopped in, and let me tell y’all something…GET HERE!! Nice portions, affordable, & most of all STAMPED food!! Let’s GO!!”
“I’ve ordered from there twice and have not been disappointed. There food is absolutely delicious and so flavorful! I want to try different dishes, but I’m so tempted to go back to what I had the last two times they were so good. What’s even more wonderful is that both dishes are packed with meat.”

In 2015 Papa Tovar knew, after a lifelong career in the food industry, that he needed to share his passion for food — authentic dishes and their Mexican heritage — with his DC community. Backed by his hardworking family, all eager to support his dream, they set out to accomplish this vision founding J&J’s Mex-Taqueria!
Father and son, both José, are the J&J – building the recipes and the business through permits and more. Jhosselyn, José’s wife, has become a smiling face of the business, behind the counter welcoming guests and cooking up a storm. The Tovar sisters, Nancy and Saralee, are the customer service and team building stars, jumping in wherever needed!
It is that family support that motivates José and Papa Tovar – the support of their loved ones makes every day better. And this family has only grown! With each new customer the Tovar’s have built deep connections and cooked up lifelong friendships. With 5 years and counting, the whole Tovar family looks forward to deepening their roots and sharing their traditions across the District of Columbia.
