Reviews
JesseJay’s is a great local hang out that you much check out. It’s welcoming and cozy – the wait staff is helpful and kind. The seating is close but it was never too loud. It was very easy to have a conversation.
Drinks from the bar were great testing. Their bartenders know how to pore.
If you’re in the area – stop by. If you’re looking to try a cool new spot – go visit JesseJay’s.
The owner is awesome, staff is stellar, the food is delicious. I have been there 3 times and the menu had something new the last two times. I have tried something different each time and I was not disappointed. I have a little one that is a picky eater and when he tried their chicken and rice his eyes lit up and he exclaimed “That’s good!” I recently tried a fall seasonal cocktail and it was scrumptious, I highly recommend trying one. All that to say, I’ll be back!
The street tacos are really good but we will be back to try out the entrees so stand by for a follow up review. But please come and enjoy the drinks, music, and great service.
Their yucca fries, tacos (of any kind), maduros, mufungo, churrasco, guacamole, and burritos do not disappoint. We are particularly enamored by their chicken taco salads.
We have been frequent diners since 2019, and Jessie Jays only keeps getting better! This place is a “must-visit”—or take-out—if you happen to find yourself anywhere near Annapolis, Shady Side, Maryland, the Mid-Atlantic, North America, or Planet Earth!
2025 UPDATE: This year, Jessie Jays celebrates its sixth anniversary, and it continues to get better and better and better. Nothing about the review above is hyperbole. Try it for yourselves!
Stepping into Jay’s Latin Kitchen—formerly known to fans as Jesse Jay’s Latin Inspired Kitchen—is a truly joyful experience. While the name may have evolved, the commitment to vibrant, high-quality, and deeply satisfying Latin-inspired cuisine remains absolutely unwavering. Voted Best Tacos in Maryland, this spot is quickly establishing itself as a must-visit destination, and the reasons are simple: flawless execution, welcoming atmosphere, and exceptional drinks.
In my opinion, the true stars of the menu are undoubtedly the tacos. Jay’s elevates the humble street taco into an art form. The Chicken Tacos are a standout, featuring perfectly seasoned, tender meat complemented by fresh/crisp ingredients. It’s a classic done right, highlighting the quality of the ingredients rather than masking them. Equally impressive are the Shrimp Tacos. The shrimp are plump, succulent, and perfectly seared, often paired with a creamy “home-made” original sauce that provides a delightful contrast. Every bite is an explosion of flavor, proving why these two varieties deserve all the praise they receive.
No Latin meal is complete without the right beverage, and Jay’s delivers expertly in this department. The margaritas here are simply excellent. They strike that elusive balance between tart, sweet, and strong—the mark of a truly great cocktail. Whether you prefer a classic lime on the rocks or one of their inventive seasonal flavors, they are the perfect pairing for the intensely flavorful tacos.
From the first sip of a perfectly crafted margarita to the last bite of an excellent shrimp taco, Jay’s Latin Kitchen provides a dining experience that is both authentic and elevated. It’s a genuine pleasure to see a local favorite continue to thrive under its new banner. If you’re looking for bold flavors, fresh ingredients, and a welcoming atmosphere, this is the place to be.
