Tacos Will Never Be The Same!
At CJ's Tacos, we're passionate about serving up delicious, authentic Mexican cuisine that's made with love and care. Our story began with our founder, Chris Jones, who moved to Knoxville, TN in 2013 and was determined to share his unique taco recipe with the community. With a special and secret way of pan-frying taco shells, Chris created a crispy, golden crust that's both crunchy and soft at the same time.
