"Quirky, Hawaiian themed eatery in Tupelo, highlighted with 80’s and 90’s soundtracks. Great, family friendly service and food with California influences. Pork belly tacos were crispy with a slight char on the outside and tender with a touch of salt. Catfish tacos were crispy and moist with a sweet tangy sauce. Jobos introduced a happy hour, which was a nice addition! As always, Sam was her friendly and helpful self. Always appreciate her helping our team with recommendations and great service!"

"We visited Jobos on a Monday for date night, and it didn’t disappoint. The buildout is fun, colorful and packed with nods to tropical travel. The menu feels just as fun and exotic (a little pricier yet totally approachable). We ordered the guacamole/salsa appetizer, split the burger and got a side of Mac and cheese. The ingredients were fresh and flavorful. We particularly enjoyed the chips with guacamole. It came topped with smoky bacon, feta + fresh tomatoes and had a mild chipotle-like spice swirled throughout. Also, their fountain Diet Coke mix is the best we’ve had in Tupelo. Our waitress was a literal saint and kept them coming!"

"Sure, here is an updated version of the review with the addition of comments about the evening drinks: **A Culinary Delight with a Touch of Enchantment** From the moment I stepped through the doors of this charming restaurant, I was enveloped in an enchanting atmosphere that promised a culinary adventure. The warm glow of the lights, the gentle murmur of conversations, and the tantalizing aromas wafting from the kitchen created a symphony of senses that set the stage for an unforgettable dining experience. While I didn't have a furry companion in tow, I noticed a designated outdoor area for dogs. While the intention was commendable, I couldn't help but notice the presence of spiders, which slightly detracted from the charm of the space. However, once I stepped inside, any lingering concerns were quickly forgotten. The indoor ambiance was nothing short of captivating. The décor was tastefully curated, creating a blend of rustic elegance and modern comfort. The soft chatter of fellow diners mingled with the gentle clinking of silverware against plates, forming a harmonious soundtrack that complemented the delectable feast that lay ahead. My culinary journey began with the French toast, a true masterpiece that danced across my taste buds. The perfectly toasted bread was generously coated with a sweet, custardy batter that was infused with hints of cinnamon and nutmeg. Each bite was a symphony of flavors, leaving me craving more. The service was equally exceptional. Katelyn, the morning server, exuded an aura of patience and kindness that instantly put me at ease. Her attentiveness and genuine warmth made me feel like a valued guest, not just another customer. Destiny, the evening server, was equally impressive. Despite being relatively new, she handled every request with grace and professionalism, ensuring that my dining experience was nothing short of perfect. And let me not forget the drinks. The evening cocktails were an absolute delight. Just one sip of their signature margaritas was enough to transport me to a state of pure bliss. The expertly crafted concoction was a symphony of flavors, perfectly balanced and refreshingly invigorating. It was the perfect way to set the mood for the evening's culinary adventure. While some dishes on the menu might not appeal to every palate, the items that aligned with my preferences were sure to delight. The freshness of the ingredients, the skillful preparation, and the creative combinations of flavors were evident in every bite. Overall, this restaurant offered a delightful dining experience that exceeded my expectations. The enchanting atmosphere, the delectable cuisine, the exceptional service, and the amazing evening drinks created a memorable culinary adventure that I would wholeheartedly recommend to anyone seeking a taste of culinary excellence. Thank you for the warm hospitality and the opportunity to savor these culinary delights!"

"First time visiting & it was AMAZING! The food was really good. I enjoyed the Jobos burger. We had the opportunity to meet the owner and he was very welcoming, along with his amazing staff. Definitely recommend everyone to try this restaurant. Service/food was great."

"Tupelo, MS is a beautiful town to visit and explore. The Hotel Tupelo is a very nice boutique hotel. Jobo’s is the hotel bar restaurant. It is very nicely appointed Jobo’s disappointed just a bit. It’s billed as Puerto Rican Southern. La maitra d reluctantly sat me in the light near the window when I asked. She seamed to scowl. Not very welcoming. The food itself was very boutique. I had Sofrito Salsa & Benton’s Bacon Guac, Lazy Jungle Fresh Side Salad and Ginger Scallion Noodles. The guac wasn’t particularly fresh, was room temperature and had darkened. It was otherwise tasty. The salad was just average. The entree was very imaginative and colorful but more of a soup than a plate. Really, it was dressed-up ramen noodles. The shrimps were good. My waiter was oddly dressed in dungarees and a baseball cap. Other staff were more appealing. He was hard to find for service, like to bring the appetizer or a coffee refill or to bring the check. He wasn’t busy with other tables, just missing. The coffee itself was good though. And a beautiful atmosphere. Jobo’s is best as a bar."
