I so love yelp! I saw the pictures of what the restaurant looked like inside and not for those pictures, I would not have went just from looking at it outside. English is their second language and I am okay with that when it comes to food because that means the authenticity meter goes up. My friend had a ride before me and was sitting down with chips and salsa when I arrived. The restaurant was clean but also had a homily feel which I appreciated. After a few minutes the waitress had not returned so I jumped up to grab a menu and decide what I wanted. The menu was in Spanish but had pictures. That with my bad Spanish allowed me to order but I wanted. After some questions I decided upon two carne asada tacos, traditional. Easy, right? Yes! Those were the best tacos I have had in a long time at a restaurant. To meet with tender and there was not a lot of fat or hard in digestible pieces. The salsa verde was spectacular! I wanted to steal it but I kept my composure and remains classy and left it on the table. I actually really enjoyed my food. Must order the napoles and to it with both green sauces.

Once inside the venue, the sweet smell of flavors from across the southern border had all my senses awakened, what came after was just pure bliss in every bite I took of the lamb taco, the lengua taco, the roasted pork taco and the el pastor taco. I was immensely delighted at the idea that they had a great selection of soups to include the seafood soup ( very close to a cioppino). Why 4 out of 5 then?? Well they don't serve alcohol...yet? A good cerveza, a minty mojito and a grandma margarita would definitely make this place a slice of Mexico in our backyard.

On multiple occasions, we had to ask for basic things like utensils because they were forgotten, and servers didn't check on the table as often as they should have. The food also took longer than expected to come out, which felt unnecessary given the type of restaurant. My main issue, though, is the pricing. The food is very expensive for what you get, and the prices don't feel reasonable or justified. On the plus side, the drinks are actually really good. Overall, it's not a bad place, but between the slow service and high prices, it's hard to say it's worth it.

There is…read moreplenty of parking and plenty of seating inside of the restaurant with your typical hole in the wall/bar atmosphere. I initially placed my order on GrubHub, but found out once I arrived at the establishment that they do not partner or work with GrubHub, which is unfortunate because you're still able to order from them on GrubHub. It was easy to cancel my order so I could get a refund and I just ordered with the gentleman at the bar. The service was quick and friendly hence two stars. I ordered the flautas which are rolled chicken tacos that are fried and topped with lettuce, cheese, crema, pickled jalapeños, and pickled red onions as well as an order of guacamole that comes with chips. The flautas were just ok as most of their flavor came from the pickled vegetables as the chicken tasted unseasoned. The guacamole was old with a lot of brown on top with very soft onions and tomatoes, which tells me that it wasn't made today, even though their menu states that it's made fresh daily. I scraped the brown part off to try and salvage the parts that were fresh as I really wanted to try it and I was starving. The guacamole was very underseasoned as the only thing I could taste in it was the avocado. The chips were stale. My meal came to a total of $28.62 with tax. $14 for the guacamole and $13 for the flautas. Needless to say I won't be back.

While customer service was a bit gruff considering it wasn't busy, the food was delicious! Of course no white glove here, but when I asked for a receipt, it wasn't itemized and was charged 'one comida'. I've not been to their restaurant but had I known, perhaps price points are at least shared. The truck itself is clean, has a picture board and options posted, and marked clear of other locations. We chose two orders of quesabirria (half/4pcs), an order of chicken flautas (5pcs), and a gordita al pastor. Quesabirria is meaty hefty and cheesy loaded, consome on the side! The flautas was crispy and packed with shredded chicken, and the rice and beans were seasoned well. The lettuce were not limpy at all lol! I took a bite out of the al pastor and the ratio of protein and pineapple was money. Esooo, fuego! Not a cloud on this stone, Taqueria Los Jarochos food truck is a diamond on Ritchie Highway. Easy to bypass, they're staged in front of a red and black building, next to BoA, opposite side of HP Racing. Pull up and get some food truck grub and grab a spot at the picnic tables!

The problem I cited in my original review was that the door signage and the hours reported on Yelp and Google said they were open on Monday. But the owner sent me a note a short while ago (about a month later now but he doesn't have to answer to me at all) saying they have had to close on Mondays: "Sort for the inconvenience but due to the personal we have to closed on Mondays" The hours on Yelp have been revised today also. The hours on Google now seem accurate. They should also fix the sign on the door but that's a bit less important as you don't see that until you're already there. I don't question a restaurant's right and need to be closed on Mondays. I am used to that. I just need to know if they are or not without actually facing the locked front door.
