It is absolutely hands down my husband's and my favourite restaurant. Not only is it the best Mexican food we have had but the owners are there every time we go. They are serving and working the restaurant. Super nice people that make you feel at home every time you enter the establishment. Every time we are back to St Thomas we try to stop in. Always recommending to everyone we know. What a gem St Thomas has.

The host was very efficient getting us seated right away, server looked after us amazingly. Had our drinks on the table and our food orders promptly appeared. The food was delicious. The atmosphere was terrific and we had a delightful dinner. We have eaten here many times and are always taken aback by the attention from all the staff.

Heard really good things about Bella Jacks and was excited to try it but it was a let down for me. Found a hair in a bite of my burrito and lost my appetite. The portions were also disappointing for the burrito dish and the Mexican bruschetta considering the price. Barely any toppings on the bruschetta and the burrito was basically a soft taco the size of a fast food one. The atmosphere is awesome though and service was good.

Absolutely amazing experience. Food, drinks, staff, all exactly what you would expect from a quality establishment. We were a party of six in a very full restaurant. Staff were wonderfully attentive and it felt like a catered event. This is my fourth time here and I can say without a doubt that it will not be my last. Thanks once again for a wonderful evening!

Ambiance, ambiance, ambiance! The service is amazing too. Very attentive. Tempted to add on an extra taco? You won't need it, but do it anyway. The food is so good and the servings are generous so you'll be excited to be able to take some home for later. The setting is adorable and the music is quaint. It was also the best Margarita I've had all year!

We have never been here before and when we arrived to Bella Jack's they were lined out the door. But don't you worry as they were fast, staff are attentive, friendly and ask if we need things before I even think of it. As for the food there are so many options, everything we ordered was flavourful, hot and delicious. We will definitely be back!

We had a fantastic lunch today. The food was absolutely delicious; I can’t say enough about the depth of flavour of the mole on the chicken enchiladas. We started with the chips and salsa and the rollitos and ended our meals with the apple crumble with caramel on a skillet and the deep fried banana with ice cream. This was one of the best meals we’ve had in a while. The service was warm and super friendly. What a gem St. Thomas has!!

Called the day before we went, to ask about Gluten Free options. The man was very pleasant and advised they had several options including an appetizer that was gluten free and could substitute GF options into other menu items.(obviously he wants the business) However, the older blonde waitress was not friendly and it seemed to annoy her that I was asking about gluten free options. I ended up telling her that I had called and was told you had several options. She was not helpful and the food was nothing like it used to be years ago. She told me the chef could do it at lunch, but if this was a Friday dinner theyd be to busy to accommodate me. I assume this was the husband and wife that were working. Maybe they should get their story straight about their Gluten Free options. We will never go back.

Food and atmosphere great. Restrooms are nasty. But worst was watching a server mix a Caesar, fish around barehanded (2x!) in a jar for a pickle, then when a garnish fell off the drink on to a barstool seat (you know, the spot people rest their butt), glance around, pick it up, put it back on the drink and serve it. Unbelievable. Hope this isn t the practice in the kitchen.

It s been awhile since I we ate at Bella Jacks. It s unlikely we will return until the place gets a good refresh. Front bar is filthy and all the filth is visible to customers. Restrooms were also very tired and not maintained. Albeit they seemed clean. Food seemed like it was cooked from frozen. Not terrible, but certainly not great. I truly hope ownership sees this and cleans the place up. It was a great place when it first opened.

To my dismay we were left completely hanging upon arrival. We had reservations but told to wait whilst man in blue shirt was on his phone. We didnt know if we were to wait outside,or in our our vehicle. Every barstool was unoccupied and were ignored. Not offered a drink or a seat. If it wasnt for reservations for a birthday party we wouldve left. After this cold greeting however the waitress was able to turn our experience around and food was delicious. Man in blue shirt obviously needs etiquette lessons. I didnt know why were brushed off while he was on his cellphone.

January 23, 2024

One of my favorite restaurants in St Thomas when I first came here but has gotten progressively worse over the last few months. Today was the final straw. Walked in, waited for 10 minutes and no engagement to be seated or to wait. Bartender looked at me several times and nothing. Suddenly a family of four walks in, theyre standing there for less than a minute and the bartender engages with them, begins working on a table for them, and completely ignores me despite making eye contact. So my dinner guest and I left, she feeling like we were not wanted there and obviously upset. I get it, youll make more money on a tip from a family of four, but way to make a loyal customer feel like absolute trash. Will return if they ever learn that its not about tips and how much you make. If you go there, be ready to be treated as a transaction if they even acknowledge you at all.

This is an intimate, small restaurant. The waitress was great and didnt even have to write down orders. The food was good and came out very quickly. Even my picky 10 year old found something on the menu that he loved! Kid-friendliness: My boys are very diet restrictive. They both found food that they enjoyed. One of them even found new foods to try off our plates. The waitress gave them attention and was patient while they ordered for themselves.

Tasty food, friendly staff. Portions still small, but tasty. On my last visit with friends I had a snack before going, definitely grabbing a bite elsewhere after too, portions are quite small for chimichanga and enchilada. Their hot salsa appears to be homemade. If so, they should really jar that and have it as an option to buy for home and gifts. Its excellent.

Ordered takeout and went to pick it up. The atmosphere was great however, when it came to eating my food back, it looked worse that roadkill from a tractor trailer. My burrito was completely smashed, guac and salsa was everywhere (food was stationary in my car). When I thought it could not get worse, I ate what I could until I found a piece of hair. That was my last call to which I through the food out. Maybe it was best to dine but, it was too packed. I would think twice with this place, especially with takeout meals.

Stopped in here on a whim, my sister raved about this place. So we decided to check it out. The construction out front on Talbot street is overwhelmingly but was well worth the tricky parking due to construction. The food was amazing, we all tried different menu items and shared them, all were very authentic in flavor. We shared the nachos as an appetizer they were fantastic. We also all had coconut lime margaritas, they were unbelievably great such a great coconut flavor cant stop at 1 they are too good to do that. One of the best Mexican meals Ive ever had. Staff are super friendly and prices are reasonable. We will definitely be returning. Side note park on Curtis street to avoid all the construction and walk, its only a few minutes away, saves you the headache of torn up roads. Parking: Current construction is definitely an issue on Talbot st. Suggest using the Curtis street parking lot behind the restaurant.

Food was great! Service was fast and super attentive. Everyone from our server to the bartender did an amazing job, and made us feel welcomed. Our chips and dip came out in like 3 mins after ordering, and the main dish was big enough for my mother and I to split. They had a wonderful homemade taco sauce too, that my mother enjoyed so much she ended up buying some to take home. ( which they do sell and at a great price!) We got there early, probably around 4:50-5, and it was already quite busy, and by the time we were leaving they were packed with loads of people waiting to be seated .. clearly a sign this place is very well liked! We were in town for my nephews hockey tournament and so happy we found this place! Highly recommend, and next time we re in St.Thomas we will definitely be back!

I went out with my family and had dinner I wasnt too impressed with the service and the food was not that great. I ordered the chicken burrito and was given beef burrito I told the waitress twice that I wanted chicken. I definitely wont be returning

So disappointed. My husband called in advance to make a reservation ( we are coming from London) our intention was to celebrate a personal achievement. They told him over the phone that they dont do reservations. Anyways we arrived to the place so excited and they told us that the place was reserved for an event!!! We were 2 families with kids! Time: 7 pm So sad to see this horrible costumer service!

Really disappointed in the owners treatment of her staff. 2:30 pm the server in place was closing a large table, we were the only other table in facility. Despite our ask, the owner would not help get water for our table, she insisted it was the servers job and moved to sit at the bar to text on her phone. Had a superiority complex - helping our table was beneath her - overall she was cold and rude. Food was ok, won t be back due to the lack of respect for the workers.

Delicious Mexican food! Well worth the trip from London. Dont let the single layer nachos fool you, they are some of the best I have ever had.

I have lots of food allergies. The folks at Bella Jacks accommodate me patiently and empathetically. The meals are tasty and the service is excellent! If you want good Mexican food, try them!

We ended up here while visiting St. Thomas by a recommendation from another local business. The food was great and the value exceptional. For a couple of dollars less you could go to Mc. D I guess. The owners are super nice and the service was outstanding

The worst shrimp tacos Ive ever had. They were literally popcorn shrimp out of the frozen food section. The con queso was processed cheese out of jar and wasnt even warm. It was a total joke. Are you not even trying? Huge disappointment.

Good beer from London. Asked for 3- tacos. Told to pick off the menu. Just load them up, whatever you make is good with me. Told to read the menu,,, I don t want to, just 2-3 tacos, whatever you do that is good, any favourite will be good, thank you. Told read the menu,,,, got no service, got no tacos. Zero personality, empty conscience. Enjoyed the beer, tipped him $3.50 for his wife s kindness and the friendly visit with the one beside me also. Merry Christmas, all the best in the new year
