Excellent staff, clean restaurant, grateful cooks that yell thanks from the cook line. The burritos are huge and very filling. This is a must stop for our Sagle / Sandpoint vacations. We fed a family of 8 for under $80 with tip and have tons of left overs.

We've been craving Joel's for days. Arrived just before closing today & the owner & staff were very friendly, fast & accommodating. The chicken asada burritos were bomb as always. Thanks again

If you're in Sandpoint, this is a must try. Joel's has been around for a long time, I have enjoyed this place for years! It's practically in the center of town. I oftentimes will venture up after a hike with my dogs, get my food to-go and head to the city beach right down the street and enjoy the view while eating. The food is great and the price is very good for the amount of food you get. The people are friendly and the atmosphere is family oriented. My favorite thing to order is the two chicken taco combo with rice and beans. It's messy and delicious so grab some napkins, forks and spoons!! Enjoy Edit: 6/10/25 If you're visiting from out of town it might be good to call to verify they are open.

Great burritos! Tons of options. Gets busy early so suggest ordering ahead if you are in a hurry. The place has plenty of places to sit and stand. Parking is available everywhere. We ordered from the outside window. Got lunch and breakfast burritos. Large burritos. Medium salsa is delicious. Will definitely go back when we visit next time.
