Tallow in fryer

They use absolutely No Seed Oils !!!! They only use coconut, olive or avocado oil.

All of our house made pastries, desserts and soups are made using only real butter, olive oil or avocado oil, with the exception of one of our Asian soups which also uses sesame oil. We do some premade items that may contain other oils or shortening’s but the majority of our items are house made.

While they advertise “tallow fries” - and allowed us to believe the kitchen used tallow for over a year - I was told by new staff that only the caramelised onions put on top of the potatoes were cooked in tallow, while the fries and all else is in vegetable oil.

As per their website at https://johnjjeffries.com/about/ they do not use seed oils

This restaurant is 100% committed to being seed oil fee, using olive oil, avocado oil, butter and tallow.

Canola oil is used for cooking

Cook with vegetable oil.

They only use Olive Oil in all dishes, and the traditional style pizzas are made from imported Italian pizza flour, not American wheat. All other ingredients are fresh.

I have separately asked each cashier during each of my 4 visits. They only use lard to fry and cook, including their tortilla chips. They are proud to use lard and maintain this traditional way of doing Mexican food. They don't even keep any other oils on site.
