The carne asada had great flavor, and having both sauces on top made every bite better. The red sauce brought a nice richness and the green sauce added a little tang and freshness that balanced everything out. Definitely messy in the best way. The Jamaica drink was cold and refreshing and paired perfectly with the food. The spot has that classic casual Mexican food feel where you know you're about to get a solid meal. Staff was friendly, service was quick, and everything came out hot and fresh. Definitely a place I'd come back to when I'm craving a good burrito.

This cozy mom-and-pop spot truly feels like a labor of love, with everything made fresh and full of flavor. The mole is incredible--rich, comforting, and honestly reminds me of the kind my mom used to make. It's one of those dishes that instantly feels nostalgic. And the chile verde? Finger-licking good. Every bite is packed with fresh, vibrant flavor. Beyond the food, what really makes this place special is the people. The owners are some of the sweetest, most genuine folks you'll meet--truly salt-of-the-earth. You can feel the warmth the moment you walk in. This place has quickly become one of our regular spots, and for good reason. If you appreciate real, homemade cooking and kind-hearted service, you'll love it here.

The menu was also difficult to read because many of the prices had faded badly -- they really need to go over the board with a Sharpie so first-time customers can actually see the prices clearly. I ordered the birria plate. The portion of meat was very generous -- probably at least half a pound -- and it came with a few standard tortillas, a small bag of chopped onion, cilantro, plus three lemon wedges. It also included a small side of refried beans with cheese on top, which was unremarkable, and some mushy Mexican rice that could have been much better. The meat itself was definitely the best part of the meal. It also came with a small container of consommé, but it was only lukewarm even though I had driven just 10 minutes away, so the food overall could have been hotter. There was only one hot sauce included, and I didn't care for it at all. I also missed the usual fresh radish slices and the standard red or green salsa options that many birria places provide. The food was packaged nicely, but overall I was expecting better for the price. It came to above $18, which felt overpriced for the quality, especially considering there's no dine-in option. While there was enough meat for two people, I personally would have preferred slightly smaller portions with better overall quality and sides. I've definitely had better birria elsewhere, which is why I'm giving this rating.

Located on the corner of 8th Street and Pacific Ave. Parking lot available in the back of the building but you can also park on the street. Went there for the quesabirria tacos cuz I thought they were goat. Oh I was so disappointed lol. I was told they don't do the goat quesabirria tacos cuz the goat has bone in it. So instead, I got the beef ones. A bit pricey but the food was really good. The service was also good. Took about 10-15 mins for my order. Everything was nice and hot. I didn't care for the consome. It had no flavor to it. It tasted more oily than anything. However, I do like the portion size. The tacos were also bigger than what I'm used to.

It took me a while to get used to the hole-in-the-wall Mexican food scene that is so common here. I popped into tacos Jalisco and ordered up Carne Asada and Carnitas tacos. The place was clean, the staff were friendly, and the tacos were made quickly and were delicious. I am in this area from time to time and will be visiting this place again.
