Joel's Lubbock Reviews
It was kind of a surprise to see Joel's in the middle of a residential area. We enjoyed our breakfast there, really great traditional breakfast, with Kool-Aid!!! The kool-aid was so good! I loved it with my breakfast, very nostalgic 😃 Tortillas are homemade & very delish, we got some Sopa just so that we could try it, & it was so awesome!! Just like how my Grandma used to make 😊 and it can definitely be an entree by itself with some warm homemade Tortillas! Yum! The service was just really welcoming and attentive. The service if I could give 10 stars I would. I definitely will be back for breakfast at anytime but I do want to try some lunch entrees as well. I do highly recommend Joel's for breakfast! And I'll update when I am able to enjoy lunch at Joel's. You won't regret your trip there!
The food is always delivered on time and is amazing, tasty, and hot to order. The owners are two of the kindest people you will ever meet, and their wait staff
It made me feel like home, the ambient, the food everything and it’s right around the corner
We found on google came out and enjoyed the menudo thx you so much
Great food! Great people. Great place. Highly recommend!
Best bowl of menudo I’ve had in a long time. Maybe ever
Joel's food has always been fantastic, the service was a little slow but I understand, you only had one waitress and you had a full house she really needed some help.
1st time to eat here. Can't wait to come back for lunch. My breakfast was sooo good!!
Love Joel's. The carne guisada and enchiladas are delicious. I love the ice with big Red and the picadillo is great as well. Always satisfied.
