I was excited to see caramelos on the menu since they can be hard to find. After you order they give you a number and bring the food out to your table. They also have a little salsa bar where you can grab extra salsas and toppings for your food. I tried the quesabirria taco and it was okay. I only had a bite or two of the caramelo before I looked over at the window and noticed a huge dead cockroach stuck between the glass along with a ton of dust and other little bugs. As soon as I saw that I completely lost my appetite and couldn't bring myself to keep eating.

I get full with even half of the torta and save the other for later. Their salsa verde and salsa roja is so delicious and not overly spicy. I usually get it as a meal which includes their mexican rice and beans. Their horchata also comes in a huge cup. I love supporting this authentic mexican small business. They also do take card.

Visited Taquitos Jalisco while in Mesa. The atmosphere felt very authentic, with the kind of…read moreno-frills setting where the focus is clearly on the food. The tacos were good, and one of my favourite touches was the blistered chiles, which added a nice smoky heat alongside the meal. This was my first visit, and I came away feeling like there's more to explore on the menu. Sometimes one visit isn't enough to get the full picture, and this is one of those places I'd like to revisit before making a final judgment. Overall, an authentic taco spot that's worth another visit to dive deeper into the menu. Saluti.

I liked that there was options here rather than your typical tacos or burritos. I tried the Guajolote and it was a burst of flavor and texture. It is basically a Mexican breakfast sandwich, absolutely phenomenal. The Tlacayo was another great one I tried and it was only $5.50, definitely a nice addition. Service was incredible and personable, the owner told me about how the food comes from his town near Mexico City. 10/10 recommend

Enjoyed the last drive through meal I got here, so brought a friend here for lunch…read more Woman at front counter obviously did not want to be there today. Barely looked up, barely took order. Not even attempting to be civil. Ordered rolled taco combo, and lime Jarrritos soda which turned out to be the best part of my meal. Rolled tacos were not so good. Dry stringy meat and rather greasy shell. Beans and rice mediocre at best. On the plate were precut radishes which were starting to turn brown. Did not enjoy this meal! Can not recommend. They were not busy at lunchtime and I see why.

Tacos Tijuana is my absolute favorite local taco shop! It's easily one of the best taco spots in…read morethe area and genuinely holds up when compared to authentic tacos I've had in Tijuana. The quality really stands out--especially the homemade tortillas, which take everything to the next level. The al pastor and carne asada are both incredible, packed with flavor and cooked perfectly. I also love that the al pastor is cooked authentically on a spit, which really adds to the flavor and experience. There's also a great variety of options on the menu, so there's something for everyone. Service is consistently quick, even when it's busy, which makes it a great spot whether you're grabbing a quick meal or sitting down to enjoy your food. Their Taco Tuesday deal is also a huge win--great value without sacrificing quality, and it keeps us coming back regularly. And the salsa deserves its own shoutout--absolutely incredible! It's packed with flavor and honestly good enough that you could enjoy it on its own. It really takes everything to the next level. If you're looking for authentic-style tacos with great flavor, fresh ingredients, fast service, and awesome specials, Tacos Tijuana is a must-visit. Easily one of my top spots in the area!

My family is from the state of Jalisco, Mexico, in San Juan Del Quarenta, JAL. This taqueria has the same flavor that my family's cooking has. Not to mention, the tortillas are handmade and fresh! The salsas are delicious with powerful flavors but not overwhelming. The owner, Alfredo, is very welcoming with great customer service. He is a master of his craft.
