Read other reviews and thought we would give this place a go. Good menu selection and reasonable prices but the food was rubbish. Fajitas were slop and chips were burnt crinkle cuts.

We visited on the 30 April 2013, 4 adults, 2 children and one baby. First impression when looking inside is that it seems quite nice. Then asking the staff if they had a child menu they were not friendly at all so unlike Bali, and said no. Despite this good reviews on TA we thought that we would give it... More

Went to TJ's on the recommendation of friends and we weren't disappointed. The food was delicious, well cooked and the meat very tender, and the cocktails were the best I have had in Bali. The atmosphere is like a Mexican cantina with a pond in the middle! Staff aren't as attentive as other restaurants in Bali, but are quick to... More

Ordinarily we don't write reviews on restaurants and rarely would we consider writing negative ones. But this has bugged me. First visited TJ's about six years ago and it was phenomenal. The year after, still great. But a couple of years ago the standard seemed to drop. Kept thinking that it was a 'one off' and still made an effort... More

Have visited this restaurant quite a few times. I love Mexican food and this is one of the best I have found. Service is ok, staff not that friendly but they are helpful. The atmosphere is relaxed, can get quite busy as the night progresses. A really good choice of food, though a bit extra meat in the fillings would... More

We had visited TJ’s on previous trips to Bali and were, again, very pleased with the visits (we went twice this time around). It’s a beautiful restaurant and their Mexican food is as good as you’ll get just about anywhere. The Chilli Con Queso dip is always a great start and the family were very happy with their orders of... More

Wen't to this place after reading some of the reviews. The food was not bad, though nothing to rave about, and the margaritas were unexceptional. The staff was friendly enough. Guess if you're hankering for mexican food this is the place to go, as there aren't many choices in Kuta
