Jax Cafe

I live near the area and had heard of this place in passing. It wasn't until the new owner (as of may 2018) was walking around the neighborhood promoting his newly aquired restaurant, that I decided to try it out. I was floored by his commitment and passion. I figured anyone that cares enough to put forth that kind of effort must take their restaurant seriously.

The negative reviews that I have read seem to not be relevant anymore. Every interaction I've had has been in English (although they may be fluent in Spanish) and the restaurant seems to be newly renovated and clean.

So far I have had the Aji de gallina and the pesto spaghetti with chicken. Both plates were brilliant. Their prices are very good for what you're getting. I have had the Peruvian style pesto at several "high end" restaurants and none of them hit the mark.

What I liked more than the food was the personal touch that this place offered. When you walk into this restaurant, you are remembered and appreciated. I for one am sick of being treated like a number by the retail/restaurant industry. Seemingly, while the rest of the world is moving towards automation and separation, this place is reminiscent of a "main street " type of restaurant. Don't worry though, they do offer wifi.

Keep up the good work. See you soon.

extremely dissapointed with service..food is ok..main clientele are high school kids...maybe they think kids wont complain. they must de doing bad as they want to charge for water from the faucet.
