Joel's

Tacos are awesome! Great place for a quick and reasonable lunch in Sandpoint. Made the mistake of only getting one order of chips to share with my 14 year old... They are delicious and we wanted more! Tacos are surprisingly big, much more filling than your average taco. I thought my son might need more than 2 but we were both satisfied.

Food was as good as I remember, but would have liked some salsa.

Both of our burritos were excellent. Tasted fresh. Meat was well cooked. Tortilla was just the right chewy and didn't come apart.

Service was pleasant. My only task complaint was that our burritos didn't come with a side of salsa to add a bit more spice. Maybe we could have gone back and asked for some?

Note: this is really a place to pick up some food and then take with you or eat outside. There is some indoor seating, but a total lack of comfort or decor. Maybe it makes the food taste better.

I love their food so much! It's worth every penny!
Joel is so kind, incredibly welcoming!

My husband and I are new to Sandpoint and Joels is a staple for us! We love the customer service AND the food is fabulous!!

Spent a weekend here and was amazed to see such a legit Mexican place in North Idaho! They offer some of the best breakfast burritos I've ever had (and at a decent price, too).

Simple good Mexican food. Huge burritos, so plan on sauce dripping into your hands. We had a carne asada burrito and the beef with rice burrito. Both were outstanding. We asked for their hottest sauce. It was a habanero HOT sauce that comes in a small container. It made both of our eyes and noses run. It is so good though. You can't stop coming back to it. We live about an hour away from Sandpoint but it is always worth the drive. We head up, do some shopping and stop in to Joel's for a quick inexpensive bite.

Joel's doesn't need a revue. All the locals know this is a great place to eat. Great owner and staff.

Excellent tacos! Portions are generous. My #1 go-to restaurant when I'm in Sandpoint.

I heard this place was incredible and it's great they have so many options on the menu and their service was very fast. But as a first timer to Joel's I'm really disappointed. I added beans as an additional option to my egg & potato breakfast burrito and I'm really disappointed because my entire burrito is just refried beans. My original order was an egg and potato burrito and the amount of eggs and potatoes is minuscule. The entire burrito is basically just a pound of refried beans. Honestly it's completely inedible. I'm very disappointed.

A Sandpoint classic! I remember when it was a food cart years ago, now a full fledged resturant. If there is one O.G. Sandpoint spot, it just might be Joel's. The food is well seasoned and prepared. They have a wide variety of options, including dishes and alterations for people with specific dietary needs. Vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, keto etc.. There is something for everyone!
I have never had a bad customer experience at Joel's, the proprietor, Joel, is pretty much always there. The cooks have not xhanged much that I can recall. All of the staff is friendly, the tend to even know locals by name and/or order.
Although it now has table seating they still have the casual vibe. In the summer they open up a garage style door for a lovely flow of out door seating and the do great takeout service.
