Eat here all the time. Lunch is a buffet. Not expensive. Used to be around 10 bucks but it went up to 13 I believe. Still good food, great staff, clean and I will continue to be a customer.

Always love the food and service. Best burritos and breakfast that I have found in Lubbock. Huevos rancheros never tasted so good. We will be back very soon.

Sweetie and I were in Lubbock again and searched for a restaurant on Google. We decided on Joel's because we weren't looking for anything heavy to eat and Joel's looked like it had diner style food. We found our way to the restaurant (which is located in a somewhat residential neighborhood) and parked across the street because it's small parking lot was full (a good sign, right?). We went in and found out it was a Mexican style restaurant with a nice little buffet. Sweetie ordered a breakfast burrito with eggs and potatoes and ham. I opted for the buffet. The buffet had really good build your own tacos and carne asada burritos along with beans, rice, a nice salad bar and even a couple of soups. The taco and asado were delicious. I had a bowl of their soup and discovered it was menudo! It wasn't just menudo, it was really delicious menudo! We both ate well and filled up just right and it was a tad over $20 for both of us, including drinks. Well done, Joel!!

They have the best egg and chicharron burritos! Must try people

Me and my boyfriend literally just finished our food and it was so good that we had to leave a review ASAP. It's a little harder to find good authentic Mexican food in Lubbock (we're from Dallas), but this is it right here. All the meat is so tender
