Really? I don't understand why they don't have a higher rating. I feel like they don't deserve it. The Birria is some of the best I've ever had, and we are near a bunch of authentic Mexican places! I like Sausal more, but this place is still good. Punches far above the current rating. So, I have a new rating system......I will be write what I feel honestly about an establishment. The only ratings I will give are 5 stars, which is enjoyable, or 3 stars which is "needs work." read more

Came in for the filet mignon burrito , filet mignon was overcooked and scarce and the melted cheese on the outside was minimal and lacked flavor. The entire burrito missed the bar for me. Definitely over hyped We had other options that deserve mention the chips and salsa options 5 stars I think we got 4 salsas which all were flavorful and different, tasted homemade and delicious Honorable mention to The first drop coffee also 5stars Would return for drinks and chips and salsa for sure read more

Cute location. Parking nearby is a bit difficult, but worth it. We started off the meal with guac and chips that were delicious. We also tried the sweet corn tamale that was also tasty. For our main course we had potato & cheese tacos and a chicken flauta - both were very traditional and had great flavor. My only disappointment was with the watermelon margarita which wasn't that great. I regretted not getting wine instead. read more

I had been wanting to try Jaime Taqueria for a long time because so many people had told me about their delicious breakfast burritos and because I love its sister restaurant, Ospi. Downtown El Segundo is always fun to visit and we went on a gorgeous day, so everyone was eating on the patio. Service was excellent, the restaurant was cute, and the horchata latte was delicious! The bartender made my latte for me and was very attentive. We got the birria burrito and the filet mignon burrito. Apparently, they just raised the prices on their burritos, but I think it was overall a reasonable price for the size and quantity of meat. The side sauces were also super yummy. Overall, really enjoyed everything! I would definitely be interested in trying their other menu items. Jaime is a cute place for a weekend brunch for sure! read more

¡Jaime! Taqueria - All Service, No Seasoning! I had high expectations for ¡Jaime! Taqueria, partly because we share a name and partly due to the hype. While the ambience is "upscale taqueria" with a nice bar and a nice patio, the music was a bit too loud for comfort or to have a conversation. The staff saved the experience. They were attentive and kind--especially helpful since my dining guest was 55 minutes late. Unfortunately, the service is the only reason this place gets any stars, because the food was beyond mediocre. The food was a series of disappointments, starting with the $9 "Happy Hour" guacamole, which was a textbook case of shrinkflation--a tiny, sample-sized portion that completely lacked seasoning. The drinks didn't fare much better, as the $9 Pepino Aqua Fresca was aggressively sweet, though my guest did enjoy her $18 mojito. As for the main event, the $22 Carnitas Tacos were remarkably bland, served on tortillas that felt chewy and cardboard-like. Altogether, the meal felt like a pricey, fast-casual imitation of Mexican food that simply didn't justify the cost. At these prices, the value just isn't there. You can get a Michelin-level meal at Holbox or authentic, flavorful gems at Sonoratown, Leo's, or Taco Social for a fraction of the cost. Save your money. Skip the ¡Jaime! name and hit your local truck or street stand instead. read more

Indeed 4.5! The place is really nice, upper casual, the service is very friendly, nice and dog friendly! They are very friendly with them, bringing water. The food is is tasty, delicious. I loved the type of tortillas, really different of other restaurants. Just I like guacamole with comino, onion and tomato. They have parking lot. Nice to pick someone at the airport, or taking time to the next flight. We did that with our friend, after picked her up. read more

Well darn. Jame, their Italian spot is one of my favorite restaurants ever. So I was excited to try Jaime! First off, kind of bummed that it wasn't fast casual. I wish it was the kind of place you could just grab a coffee and a pastry in the morning and a taco for lunch without sitting down and ordering. I sat at the bar and ordered. It was lovely but also felt backward during the day. I ordered two tacos, the chicken and the shrimp... which came with refried beans. Honestly, if I had my eyes closed I would not have been able to tell which taco was which. They tasted extremely similar. Even the cool, burnt cheese disc on the shrimp taco was extremely bland. Not sure what they're doing wrong here but they are doing something wrong. Bland city. Unfortunately, I will never go back. They really should just stick to Italian. read more

I had the Birria Breakfast Burrito - Cheese crusted tortilla, tater tots, scrambled eggs, artisan cheese, avocado, queso fresco. It comes with consome and cilantro crema sauce. Birria was lumpy and lacking flavor. Consome was rich and the Cilantro Crema was light. I liked the burrito but it wasn't spectacular, maybe a mid average. For the price, I expect to be loaded. The service was also average. read more

So having tried their dinner menu-- the tacos are good-- so I tried their breakfast burrito. We enjoyed the dinner items, so I was hoping to be wowed. I got the carnitas burriot-- without potatoes, as a take out and waited a short 5-10 minutes. I could feel the heft in the bag as I left. The verdict: very good, smoky carnitas, not too greasy, plentiful eggs, nice chipotle sauce. I'll definitely come back and check out their other breakfast items. read more

We ordered the bacon, birria, and carnitas breakfast burritos. The bacon was good but needed more bacon, there definitely was not some in every bite. But we did love the amount of avocado in all of the burritos and the cheese on the outside of it. The carnitas one was a little dry, but the amount of meat was really good. The birria one was out favorite and we loved the consome it came with! Of the sauces they came with the cilantro crema and habanero salsa were our favorites, very flavorful. The chipotle one did not has as strong of a flavor we usually like. We ordered for pick up, but our food was really super quickly and we definitely want to go back for lunch/dinner. The restaurant itself was super cute, loved the color scheme. read more

I've tried at least 5-10 breakfast burritos in the South Bay and recently got to try two from ¡Jaime! Taqueria this past week. I can confidently say they were some of the best breakfast burritos I've had all year and they don't break the bank. I do enjoy the Baran's breakfast burrito from Tigres Fuego, but it's definitely not as economical and you can't customize the burritos. I feel like Jaime Taqueria's breakfast burritos standout for a couple reasons - avocado in every burrito, a generous portion of meat, and $12-15 price points. I've only been once, but I definitely will keep coming back even though it's a little farther from me. Ordering and pickup was a breeze too through the online Toast app. Breakfast burritos: - Birria breakfast burrito - both burritos were packed with a lot of meat, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The birria was flavorful and pretty soft as well, sometimes birria meat can be tough but I heard they use the beef cheek. The eggs in these burritos are heavenly - a soft-scramble with so much flavor. I also love how they grill the cheese on the outside too. - Carnitas breakfast burrito - Carnitas was similarly delicious. The meat was tender and flavorful. I can't decide which one I like better, but I am partial to carnitas in general. They do a great job of packing the burrito so you get a little bit of everything in each bite instead of having one ingredient stuck on one side. Salsas: - Cilantro Crema - I watched a video and heard this one was the best sauce. It definitely did not disappoint! A good kick but also very creamy. Went very well with the burritos. - Chipotle Aioli - this one was a little underwhelming. it didn't have much flavor overall, just creamy. Overall, the breakfast burritos here blew my mind! I only tried takeout, so I might need to sit down for breakfast in person to get the full experience. There are also two more types of breakfast burritos I want to try as well - the filet mignon and bacon! Looking forward to coming back here. read more

This is the sister restaurant to Jame Enoteca, so I had to try its take on Mexican food! I really love this spot and its menu is so good! Everything on the menu is really great, but I'm partial to the breakfast burritos and the sweet corn tamales, which I get every time I'm there. Hands down, this is my favorite thing on the menu and such a must-try. If you pick anything to get at Jaime, get this. If you have a group and they love spicy stuff, highly recommend the Chef's Salsa bar so you can try all the spicy sauces with chips. Street parking isn't a problem and the servers are always wonderful! Such a joy to come down and eat here. Worth a visit to El Segundo! read more

We came here for Sunday brunch. I had been wanting to try this place since it opened and we finally made it. We sat in the corner on the patio, shortly after noon and the sun was at the perfect angle. The glass windows help block the wind, while the plants protect from direct sun, creating this lovely atmosphere to sit and enjoy a great meal with great conversations. The hostess, and overall service, is exceptional. Very warm, inviting with great recommendations for food and beverages. We tried the Guacamole Maizena, sweet corn tamales, egg & cheese breakfast burrito, carnitas breakfast burrito and a Hangover bowl. Every item was plated in an appetizing manner and flavor that matched the presentation. This place is a wonderful addition to Main St and the restaurants in the area. read more

Spectacular Breakfast Burrito I'm in the LAX area 2-3 times/month for breakfast and have been loyal to Eat Fantastic Cafe for years. This place is now added to the list of reliable Breakfast options near the airport. From 8-11am its takeout only with a limited menu but the place looks like a perfect date option. Nice chairs, a bar area and everything appears remodeled. The breakfast burrito was filling. I was starving and couldn't finish in one sitting. Ingredients were fresh and taste. The melted on cheese outer layer and carne asada filet options for breakfast take this burrito to the next level. I will be back. read more

I had pretty high expectations for this taqueria since the prices on the menu are on the higher side and I'm happy to report that they did not disappoint! I came here on Taco Tuesday with a fellow Yelper as we both had this place on our list of places to try. We didn't have a reservation but were seated right away. There's outside as well as indoor seating. It's a very fun and lively atmosphere-colorful walks and artwork. Back to the food, we decided to try every taco on the Taco Tuesday menu (price varies depending on the taco) and the guacamole flight ($24) I was excited to see there were different types of guacamole and that we can taste them all. Three types of guacamole came in the flight and each had a distinct flavor profile. The three flavors that came in the guacamole trio were Jaime, Crunchy, and Maizena. Jaime was very cheese-forward and zesty, this was my favorite. Crunchy had a smoky flavor, and Maizena had some fun crunchy corn toppings. The amount of guacamole that came in the trio was a little on the smaller side. As mentioned earlier, we got each of the eight tacos on the Taco Tuesday menu to share. Each taco was presented very beautifully and they each tasted like a lot of thought was put into the presentation and the flavors. My favorite was beef cheek quesabirria but the Baja fish, shrimp, and surprisingly the chicken were all a close second. Chicken tacos normally don't sound appealing to me but our super sweet server mentioned it was really popular and you can tell why. The marinade was bright and flavorful. Although we were both quite full, we couldn't leave without trying some dessert. We ordered the dulce de leche cake and it was just the right amount of sweet and such a nice way to end the evening. I certainly ate way too much but it was so worth it! I look forward to going back for more tacos and trying their happy hour. read more

Summary: Nice vibe, friendly and attentive service, quality ingredients, and decent taco Tuesday value. Highly recommend the quesabirria, and the chips and salsa are endless after the initial $5 purchase (yay!). The shrimp gobernador taco was good, but the shredded cabbage was a strange addition, and the charred cheese slice on the tortilla was off-putting for some members of our party. The mushroom pastor was decent too, but the flavor profile wasn't quite doing it for me. We were given four salsa options with the chips, and all were good, but nothing particularly spicy. The normal prices for each taco are way high, so taco Tuesday makes it more palatable, for sure. read more

I got the carne asada breakfast burrito with a side of chipotle aioli. The chipotle sauce was a bit too mayo heavy. The steak was also way too tough and overdone. Would opt for a more shredded meat. Great cheese sizzle on the tortilla and the tater tots were crispy! Guac was good but small little bowl. Rice was also fine. Elote was good but spicy. Nice ambiance inside. You order at a kiosk. read more

I had a little rough start falling in love with this place, but I think it was because I was visiting them at odd hours! The staff is great, a lot of fun, and accommodating. The food is delicious, but if you're ever unhappy, please mention it to the server or manager because they will definitely take care of you. It's an upscale Mexican food stop and cute place! Parking is tough. (Although I feel HH is still a bit pricey, and who charges for chips and salsa?) read more

Taco Tuesday at Jaime Taqueria is a good vibe! Greats deals on delicious tacos. Parking is on the street, in the neighborhood as there's only 2 spots in the front. The entrance is also hard to see if cars are parked in the two spots in front. Enter alongside the wall with the mural. Cute decor. Loved the wallpaper! Staff is really nice. I forget the name of our server, but she was awesome! Back to the food. The guacamole trio was great! So many fun combos: Parmesan, black garlic chili (my fave), sweet and crunchy corn, all served with tortilla chips. We ordered one of each taco and split it so we could them all. Burria- fave taco of all, SO good Carnitas- another good flavorful taco Filet- Good flavor, needs to be more tender Shrimp- good but needs more shrimp Fish- nice big piece of fish and great flavor Chicken- very flavorful, pretty good Mushroom- not good flavor Potato- best option for vegetarians Tres leche cake was good, but too sweet for my taste. Definitely coming back to try more dishes. read more

I live nearby and I saw a video of how good the breakfast burritos are on social media. So I went to try it out....and boy was I disappointed. I looked online and saw they had a filet mignon breakfast burrito which sounded delicious in theory. I cut the burrito in half, and the burrito is VERY egg heavy, has some soggy tater tots, and 1 small bite of steak. I'm not kidding, there was actually 1 small piece of steak per half of the burrito. Very sad and bland burrito, making this the worst breakfast burrito I have ever had. I'd go to chick fil a for a breakfast burrito before I go here. Bad! read more

After reading the good reviews I thought I'd try the restaurant after having a nearby massage. It's late afternoon and place had one customer at the bar. Ordered 2 burritos...one egg and cheese and a carnitas plus a side of street corn. Burritos were very large and tasty but it took a little while to get the corn. Server didn't once check on us. Too busy talking to the guy at the bar. Had to get his attention to get a box and the check . It wasn't until I got in the car that I realized the bill said I got a birria burrito.So with that in mind and the poor service I doubt if I will return to this place. read more

Cinco de Mayo 2025... Not sure why all the lame reviews lately, but I loved my visit - and on Cinco De Mayo!!! Reservation for 3 at 6PM - BINGO! No wait, no drama, seated immediately. Special shout to Jaelynn our server, she was outstanding! FAST, friendly and efficient. Cool vibe to the restaurant, it's small but stylish. I found the food beautifully presented, delicious and filling. I tried a trio of tacos - filet mignon, chicken and shrimp - all scrumptious. The potato & cheese taquitos were a standout - we ordered a second plate. Chips and salsa/sauce collection (4) - excellent. Wash it all down with a margarita or a local Mayberry IPA and you're livin' grande! Again, I'm dumbfounded by the lousy Yelp reviews, I loved Jaime Taqueria. 5 stars read more

Came here for dinner before our Suns vs. Clippers game. We were immediately seated since we were able to make reservations. Our server immediately greeted us upon sitting and then followed up with taking our food order. He was friendly and checked on us regularly and even gave me an opportunity try/taste their habanero salsa. We started off with their guacamole topped with garlic chili oil, which i thought was a unique fusion of flavors. We also order their sweet corn esquites (street corn) for the table. I tried 2 of their tacos (filet minon & beef cheek). Everything came out fairly quickly upon ordering and all the food was prepared & seasoned properly. The meat was tender too. This is a fairly good size venue with outside seating. I would definitely come back to try other offerings. read more

Went out looking for a new neighborhood Mexican restaurant as our old standby, La Paz, had closed. Literally stumbled upon Jaime Taqueria as we were cruising around El Segundo. Glad we did. The restaurant was about 50% full and diners looked like they were enjoying themselves. We were seated quickly and our server Dino came up and greeted us. Service was very attentive; he checked in on us at least 4 times during our meal. Ambiance was nice, not your kitschy mom and pop Mexican, but more neighborhood backyard feeling. Food was good and there were abundant choices beyond just tacos. You have to have the freshly made chips and guacamole. We each chose 3 different tacos and all were delicious. I'm glad we didn't order the LA Restaurant week menu as that would have been too much food for us. Good beer and cocktail selection. New favorite for casual Mexican. read more

I have to say I was disappointed. We were excited to go because it's the latest from a great semi chain of restaurants (jame is down the street serving pasta), but we will not be back. My taco order came out wrong. When I asked for tapatío, they said they don't have any so they'll bring me habanero sauce.... And then promptly charged me $2 extra for it (if you're going to charge for condiments you have to say something ahead of time). I had a huge stomach ache after the tacos. Service was good. Ambiance was weird but great if you're a dude into busty ladies. Overall, not coming back. read more

I want to start by saying we are huge fans of Jame so we couldn't wait to try out the new concept by the same chef in town! Checked out the place this weekend and the food was good, but the prices left a bad taste. We ordered a pretty standard lunch with an appetizer, taco order per person, drinks and a kid's meal and somehow the bill crept up to over a $100, mostly thanks to $12 beers and the need to double the kids meal due to the size. The kids' portion was tiny so we had to double up on that which ended up to cost the same as an adult meal. Service was good and on point. The ambiance left me undecided regarding the self-identification of this place: they had children's menu, changing table at the restroom but some questionable art throughout so not sure if they are trying to be a dude's bar or a family-friendly place. Tacos were flavorful and well-made, no complaints there, but when a casual lunch for a family starts feeling like a fine dining tab, it's hard to justify coming back. There are so many Mexican places around in the area that hit the spot and don't cost that much (especially on drinks). Not sure this place will be in the regular rotation unless they adjust the pricing. read more

Portions were great, flavors were on point, everything tasted fresh. And the service? Amazing. My server, Jaelynn, was an absolute doll. If I could request her every single time, I would.

Given the prices, which are high, the general food quality at Jaime's is, well, not great. We had the shrimp tacos, birria tacos, guacamole and the caesar salad. The salad was flavorless. Something i don't expect with. caesar. The cornbread croutons were spongey. The tacos lacked flavor. The only thing we really liked were the refried beans. Though they were a bit on the tepid side. A little sad. But on the positive side, the space was nice. just not nice enough to lift up the mediocre food. read more

Food was delicious. We got the classic guacamole and chips - perfect! I would ask for extra lime since I like mine a little more citrus-y. Potato and Cheese taquitos satisfied my craving - so good! Tacos we got: beef cheek quesabirria (I make this at home and this was delicious!), carnitas were perfect and not too crispy. Plates we ordered: skirt steak, perfectly cooked and delicious; crispy braised pork shank "al pastor" - different but if you close ur eyes and put the sauces on the pork it taste just like al pastor! Overall, great experience. Parking will most likely be street parking. Hostess and waitresses were friendly and enthusiastic. We will definitely be coming back and may just make this our usual spot for good Mexican food! Oh and gotta come here for Taco Tuesday! read more

A true gem in downtown El Segundo! From the moment we sat down at brkfst by Jaime, we felt taken care of. Our server, Ben, was absolutely wonderful--attentive without being overbearing, full of great energy, and clearly passionate about the food here. He recommended the birria burrito, and let me just say... elite. It's the kind of dish that stops conversation at the table because everyone is too busy enjoying it. Perfectly seasoned, rich, and filling, it's the highlight of the menu. The whole spot feels like a hidden treasure--laid-back but still buzzing with that downtown El Segundo charm. You can tell a lot of thought goes into the food and the experience, from the creative menu to the friendly, genuine service. Places like this are the reason I love supporting local gems. Between the incredible food, Ben's top-tier service, and the easygoing atmosphere, brkfst by Jaime has cemented itself as one of my favorite breakfast/lunch spots in the South Bay. Highly recommend if you're anywhere near El Segundo--this place is worth the trip. Also for the Resy Amex people this is one of them ones!!! read more

The food here is outstanding! The restaurant is beautiful and I love that they are now open for breakfast and not just brunch. The tacos are absolutely delicious, as is their chips and salsa as well as the guacamole. You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu, you can tell it is chef driven with high-quality ingredients. Portions are just right, and you can taste the care and attention to detail that goes into each and every day. The food was made to order quickly and presented beautifully. Highly recommended if you are looking for elevated yet casual Mexican food in the area! read more
