Exceeded my expectations by a long shot!! Honestly gate keep the spot if you can- order the burrito and shrimp tacos and guacamole is to absolutely die for. The lady at the register was very sweet and I came on a Saturday night. It was relatively empty but 1000 out of 10. read more

Paid 20 for chicken fajitas. The beans tasted rotten. The rice was inedible. The peppers and chicken were cooked poorly and sitting in a deep wet soup. It was inedible. I explained the beans tasted rotten, they just took the plate and never said a word to me. Never. Again. read more

OMG, Amazing birria taco! Quick service, love that they have plenty of seating and counter service. They turned me into a birria believer. No bathroom/place to wash your hands that I saw read more

Jauja Mexican Kitchen - Birria taco - Tacos Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

The tacos are just so good! Hot sauce is great too. Not the fastest service but I'm happy to wait because the food is so good.

I came into Jauja on a whim with my cousin who was visiting from out of town, we absolutely loved the food and would definitely come back. We ordered the chips and guacamole to start, which was delicious, crispy, and fresh. I ordered the Camarones Al Ajillo, which was amazing as well and served with fresh tortillas. I'm looking forward to coming back and trying more of the menu! read more

Who doesn't like tacos? This is a great little spot with consistently good food. The Birria tacos are ah-mazing but the birria consome was disappointing. It tasted like lightly seasoned water with extra raw onions. I was expecting a thicker sauce with a hearty flavor. The shrimp taco has a battered fried shrimp that reminds me of tempura. Although it was good, I prefer grilled shrimp. The tamarind agua fresca is very good. The staff is friendly and helpful. The cost is average about $5 or $6 per taco. The portion size is average. I plan to try other menu items next go round. read more

Very good food, good counter service, and casual ambiance. Tables were filled with customers. We dined there on a very cold Monday night and it was cold inside. Customers would appreciate a simple floor heater. BTW, they do have a restroom. read more

Tasty shrimp tacos theyre with jalapeños so amazinf, I love spicy. Their red salsa is also very smokey nd spicy I like it. But i didnt like the green salsa. It either had no tsste or got overpowered by the red one. Burrito rice was bland, needed more seasoning. read more

You can't go wrong with the Birria tacos here it is by far one of the best I've had! Looking forward to coming back and try more of the menu. I took my order to go, and was fortunate to not have any spillage, because they packed up the birria sauce tightly with plastic around the container. This is a small but mighty restaurant with staff that's working to provide quality, delicious food. read more

The dishes come out fresh and nicely presented. The staff are polite and attentive during the whole visit. The space is kept clean and welcoming. It is a good place to enjoy dining quietly. read more

welp. holy crap, that was good. had 4 tacos - birria - chorizo - carnitas - chicken make sure to squeeze the limes on 'em and dab a bit of the sauces read more

The comeback of the century, well maybe the week. I was super close to giving this little hole in the wall a two star review, as the birria burrito I ordered offers little to the imagination and little flavor to boot. It is incredibly bland. Then I tried one bite of the birria tacos and thought okay, maybe they have something here. I took another bite. And another. And another. And another. And another... Until I quickly came to realize that I had come to the end and was crying inside that there were no more bites left. All that was left was liquid consomé and remnants of a large horchata. The birria tacos are so good that I give them the ultimate praise. It is hard to find good Mexican, let alone tacos, in New York, but these tacos come through late in the game when you feel you have exhausted all your options. If you can, speak Spanish to the staff. You will be treated better because of it. Comeback complete. read more

Jauja Mexican Kitchen - Three Birria Tacos and a Birria Burrito with a Horchata - Tacos Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I had to get on here and applaud Jauja. I've tried Mexican food in the area (even pricier) and decided it was time to try this Mexican kitchen. I had to go with the birria tacos, consome, and breaded chicken torta. From the first bite into the juicy taco (after dipping it into consome of course) I was happy. It turned my okay day into a great day. Seriously the food here taste so authentic and made with skill and care that it changes your mood. The torta too! I'm hooked. I am definitely bringing others as this is my go to Mexican food spot now. Also, very friendly staff! 5 STARS! read more

I have been coming here since it opened and having food here was always a blast, especially when I met with the owner, greeting me with a big smile and ensuring my order was on point. I can't tell you what to get because everything on the menu is amazing and makes wanting more. Try the Tacos, try the Quesadilla, try everything. The place is family-friendly and there is enough seating for everyone to sit. read more

Birria is their main item, but honestly the beef is tough even though they nailed the consume and the tortillas weren't falling apart like other places. Very friendly staff and the food came out hot. There is plenty or seating inside. Kind of expensive. I give it 3 stars but then they turned the TV to a political "victory" rally for someone who spread hate and lies. Will not be back. read more

Juaja Mexican Kitchen is a new family owned restaurant in Flatbush/PLG. They just opened a few months ago. The place itself is big enough to dine in, and the food is fresh and tasty! They haven't started deliveries yet, but will soon based on my convo with the owner. They have a birria taco special on Wednesday's which I was able to take advantage of! Prices are also great! Can't wait to try more of their food options. read more

Still some of the best birria tacos I've ever had! They do the classics well here. So glad to have this place in the neighborhood!

Newly opened on Flatbush ave. Clean and colorful. Mainly a to-go spot as they only have about 4 tables inside. We were the only ones dining inside for lunch. The menu was online and posted on their board, no paper option yet. What we ordered: - Huevos con chorizo. Eggs scrambled with sausage. Large portion. I didn't expect it to arrive with a side of rice and beans. I took the rest home. -Birria tacos. Well done steak taco. Very filling. I'd suggest 2 would be enough if you just wanted tacos. -Chalupas Verde. You can chose the meat you want. My husband added steak and loved it. I noticed the taco shell was soft and not fried hard as a typical chalupa. Didn't take away from the dish though. Would return here when I want a mexican food fix. read more

I've walked down this block dozens of times but have mostly overlooked Jauja, which is easy to miss especially compared to flashier Los Tres Chiflados and Mallenche Mexican restaurants in the neighborhood. I only wish I had known about this place sooner because their menu of tacos, burritos, quesadillas, fajitas, and entrees is way more robust than a lot of the other Mexican restaurants that have full dining rooms. There are a couple of tables at Juaja but it is a really bare bones space and mostly a takeout operation. I ordered camarones a la diabla but they ended up giving me camarones al ajillo-- not the biggest deal because I enjoy both dishes anyway and will just have to return for the spicier dish. It came with rice & beans, tortillas, and maduros, had good flavor and was just the right portion. I'd gladly return for a fish burrito or shrimp tacos for something quick and easy. read more

yum food nice staff chicken enchiladas yum the taste was yum to my mouth when it was there in the mouth for to taste

Ordered rice and beans and a steak quesadilla. After taking a few bites of the quesadilla I realized there was a weird texture - looked closely and realized it was chunks of fat/lard. Disgusting! Barely any steak - all fat. Threw the rest out read more

My boyfriend and I stumbled on to this place one random night after buying dinner somewhere else. We decided to buy fish tacos. After that we both just keep coming back at least once a week for random items because we cannot get enough! My boyfriend is more of a taco person. Simple chicken, fish, and carne asada. (He also is kinda weird and doesn't put any salsa or lime on his food) He would get these all the time which was delicious itself already. Then After doing more research I ordered a Birra taco for him and Birria Consume. It was amazing! If you want just explosion of flavor you have to get the consume. Dip every taco it it! My other favorite that I think about almost all the time when I am not craving tacos. Pozole Rojo which includes and entire tostada on the side! I love this soup so much, especially on a cold winter day. Nom nom nom I am so happy this place is close to me. Overall great place to get mexican food. I have only gotten it to-go or delivered, but I don't see why you cant eat there. read more

Typically I like this place. I haven't ordered food here in awhile though as I've been trying to save for people visiting. Well I ordered today and specifically asked for no onions for my birria tacos and no onions for my nachos. For my nachos I asked for just cheese and beans. As you can see in the photo there's peppers and there's even onions in it with the cheese. I'm so disappointed because the restaurant closes in 4 minutes. The tacos has an overabundance of cilantro which I'm not sure if that's normal but I've never received this much in the past. I just wanted a good meal tonight so it's kinda disappointing read more

Jauja Mexican Kitchen - Birria Taco and Nachos - Tacos Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Whether it's fresh off the grill or cold after being en route to me for 75 minutes (repeated terrible doordash experiences. Awful!) these tacos are my favorite. It's why I'm willing to keep getting into arguments with the doordash support for my food instead of marking them off and just accepting a refund. I only eat birria tacos now, so I judge them everywhere I get them from.... Jauja is the only place I will repeatedly get them. The cheese between the discs is 1/1 and so so good!! The taco meat is also tender and marinated well. The consommé isn't as flavorful as other places I've had, but still a 3.5/5. Tacos 5/5 and service 5/5 read more

Ordered the birria quesadilla and esquites. Both left a lot to be desired. I kept searching for the flavor but never found it - even the consume was bland. The esquites had somewhat more flavor but there still wasn't much to enjoy. I'm confused by all the great reviews - maybe I just caught them on an off day? read more

Great authentic Mexican cuisine in the Prospect Park South neighborhood is really welcome. Some of our favorites are the nachos, which aren't on the menu, and the quesadillas with shrimp. The preparation takes a little time, but that's how you know you're getting your food made fresh. Be prepared for a little bit of a wait - it's definitely worth it. read more

I've had food from here twice, and each time was great. On my first visit, the man behind the counter asked if I had tried birria before (I hadn't). I placed an order for chilaquiles and he gave me a small sample of the consomé while I waited. It was so good that I almost changed my order on the spot. I held my composure and stuck with my chilaquiles, which were really tasty. That second visit, though? I got two birria tacos and a bistec quesadilla. Best decision I've made in recent memory. The tacos were flavorful and juicy, and I'll definitely be coming back for more...and making excuses for friends to come along. read more

I LOVE Juaja! This has been my local Mexican spot since moving into the neighborhood a little over a year ago. Everything I have here is wonderful - I am the hugest fan of their birria EVERYTHING. The meat is flavorful, tender, moist but not oily. I also really enjoy their chicken, steak and pork tacos. And their guac. Its really just all delicious! In addition, they just seem like super nice folks who have fortunately chosen to bless us with their authentic, home-cooked Mexican food. I love being able to support a genuinely good, local business. I really recommend you stopping in to Juaja and trying their food. read more

Great tacos, fish, vegy and beef Take out is fast and food is authentic Worth a try, specials also and guacamole read more

My work ordered us lunch from here and when my chicken quesadilla arrived, I had to go back & look at the menu. I thought perhaps I missed that it was a vegan restaurant which would explain the chicken. It was white (not grilled as it should have been) and rubbery and almost indistinguishable from the congealed cheese. I thought perhaps it was imitation chicken, but that was not the case. Really unpleasant. In addition, the whole delivery order was poorly packed and arrived in a messy state. We will not be ordering from them again. read more

Great tacos. Great service and in a very nice location. Gives off the Mexican vibe as well. Nice indoor seating as well.

Have ordered from Jauja a few times through DoorDash and it's wild I never see local folks bring this place up, the birria tacos with consomé are excellent! Highly recommend this spot for anyone walking down Flatbush Ave looking for a great takeout option. read more

Pretty good nachos and quesadillas. Al pastor tacos did not have the kind of meat you would get from a trompo (they were so so). Would order from here again. read more

Super cool Authentic Mexican spot in PLG. I feel like it's always a good sign when you see Mexican families eating at a Mexican spot. I decided to try the Birria tacos. A lot of meat for the price point and the consume was lovely. Perfect addition to the neighborhood! read more

This place was INCREDIBLE. The tacos were so authentic & were exactly what I was hoping for. I had 3 tacos and was full, which doesn't always happen so portion sizes were great. The service was fast & the people working were very nice. On top of all of this, the prices were SO REASONABLE!!! I understand all of the 5 star reviews - highly recommend Jauja! P.s. I was told that the torta (pictured - it wasn't my meal) was AMAZING as well!! read more

I've been going to Jauja now and again for lunch since they opened. It's clearly a family business, and their food shows that loving attention to detail. Their birria is simple and gentle and delicious, and their chicken tinga is beautifully smoky and complex in flavor. Excellent value too: three of their tacos is a full meal, even for a big eater. The folks behind the counter are friendly too. 10/10, definitely the best Mexican food in this stretch of Flatbush. read more

Tacos are amazing, their tortilla are fresh off the grill with the perfect little crunch on the edges when you bite. Birria to die for, so much flavor and perfectly cooked, tender. Corn esquites in a cup is so fresh and has a nice charred flavor, also fresh off the grill. Service is friendly, support this new business. Definitely a new neighborhood staple. read more
