A popular Mexican taqueria in Mount Rainier has opened a stall at Le Fantome food hall in Riverdale Park.

With two locations at 3237 Rhode Island Ave. in Mount Rainier and the Brightwood neighborhood in D.C., J&J Mex-Taqueria added a third at the Riverdale Park food hall across from MOD Pizza at Riverdale Park Station earlier this month.

The restaurant was started in 2015 by Jose “Papa” Tovar and Jose Tovar Ibarra, a father and son originally from San Luis Potosí in central Mexico.

The extensive menu includes 12 types of tacos, including trendy birria tacos made with slow-cooked beef stew, burritos, enchiladas, tortas, carne asada, and fajitas. There are also a number of breakfast items, including huevos rancheros, a breakfast quesadilla, and machaca, a dish made with shredded beef and eggs.

J&J is also moving into the Commas food hall, which is planned for downtown Silver Spring.

You can order online from J&J at Le Fantome here.
