Joe Penas - Stuttgart

Delicious food and great service. The beef was very tender. Some of the best Mexican food I’ve had anywhere

Never heard of the place, found it on Trip Advisor. First visit. After losing my way on the streets of Stuttgart thanks for nothing, google maps!, I found this place. I could have lived years in Stuttgart, and the chance of randomly bumping into...this restaurant would still be low. Anyways, I enter the place, and after being approached by a friendly bald waiter, I get myself a table. A small beer that is soon to be followed by a chicken beef fajita is ordered. While enjoying the beer, I get a good look of the place. Tables for Tables for Tables for Nice. It is hard the describe the feel of the place. It is not fancy, nor is it ordinary. Just looks really good! A curiosity. Every table that I laid eyes on had wax crayons on it. I guess there is a first time for everything : Refusing to draw with said crayons on the table, I just waited for my fajita. The place was packed, hunger was on Defcon but my food is still not there. What is taking them so long, I wondered. It is only a fajita, after all... And then it arrived. No wonder it took them so long, this was a man feast! Loved every bite of it. Will come again

We were looking for a nice Mexican restaurant and based on good rating on trip advisor, we picked this place. I have visited many Mexican restaurants around the world and this was one of the big let downs. We ordered a “chilli con carne” which...was like a soup. As a main dish, I got a burrito. This was not a burrito but a pancake that tastedlooked nothing like burrito. Again wrong meat, sauce etc, We waited wait too long for our meal to arrive even though the place was not that busy. If you are looking for authentic Mexican place, I wouldn’t recommend this place. Good side good cheap cocktails during happy hours

Living in Germany the past over time has lowered my expectations of certain cuisines like Italian, American and Mexican, but...WHOA, hold up...waaaaait...JPs was on point. The atmosphere was dim and classy, but had a lot of energy and frequented by the locals. I had...the beef, shrimp and chorizo fajitas, and the lady had the chicken and banana plantains drizzled in peanut sauce. They even have a full bar so I could enjoy a nice Makers Mark Manhattan. Highly recommend. As you can see, my food looked and tasted so good I forgot to take a pic

Very good restaurant serving good tasty food. Friendly personnel and good ambiance. Don't be misled by the street side windows, which are dark. Inside it has an open space, a terrace and a nice bar serving a lot of different cocktails. I definitely will return...here, when I visit Stuttgart again
