One of the best quesabirria tacos I've had! The tacos were packed with flavor, the consommé was delicious, and everything tasted fresh. The customer service was excellent--the ladies were very sweet and welcoming. My only suggestion would be to add a few more tables and improve the lighting in the seating area, as it can be a little dark. Other than that, I highly recommend this spot and will definitely be back! read more

La Jalisciense - Quesabirria Tacos - Food Trucks Near Me - Santa Nella, California

I had the chance to stop by today for the first time ....this place is a true definition of authentic Mexican tacos ..the carne Asada is super juicy and well seasoned..I highly recommend this place. Coming from someone who's from Jalisco and has tried many tacos around LA these are definitely worth the stop The aguas frescas are super good as well I had the pepino/lime . The day was pretty warm so with it being a cold drink it was totally on point!! Super convenient when you get off the 5 . And they have a nice set up to eat outside in case you need to stretch out read more

It's fine, got the reg asada burrito ($12) and it was average tasting for the area. For a place so highly rated it should be solid across the bored. Wondering if it's rated high for the tacos. Will come back to find out. read more

The Best tacos we have ever had! Flavor was great, loads of meat. Fresh cucumber, marinated carrots and grilled onion & jalapeño all on the side. Nice service. First time trying and we will stop by on our way back down the 5 fwy. Worth a five star review. read more

Found this place on Maps and I'm glad I stopped. They have some legitimately Mexican tacos like Birria, Tripa, Asada, Pastor among other things. Highly recommend if you are in the mood for authentic Mexican Tacos (not Taco Bell crap) read more

You already know that the food is great and the people are very kind, but you need to be patient because there's just two people and there's frequently a crowd waiting for lunch. Don't go looking for some fancy ambience as this is a food truck in the 76 gas station. Pro tips include bringing cash as they don't charge any sales tax if you pay cash. Also, please be aware that they are closed on Tuesday so no taco Tuesday at this spot. read more

A must stop on road trips - amazing service, reasonably priced and extremely delicious!!!!!!

Saw people placing orders at this food truck while making a stop for gas, so decided to give the place a try too. I ordered the quesadilla with lengua. The quesadilla was delicious and flavorful, especially with the salsa on the side. I thought the quesadilla portion was worth the price. The filling ratio was slightly more on the cheesy side. I had some lengua with each bite, but wished there was a bit more. Unlike what some of the menu photos (either from here or Google Reviews) say, they didn't charge extra for lengua! There are a few parking spots on either side of 76 gas station where they are located. read more

If you're looking for incredible Mexican food on the go, this little food truck is an absolute gem. We happened to stumble upon it while driving through, and I'm so glad we did. The couple running it were genuinely some of the sweetest people--so welcoming and kind, which made the experience even better. The food itself was amazing. Everything came out hot, fresh, and packed with flavor. The tacos, burritos, and quesadillas were all delicious--honestly some of the best we've had. Was too hungry to take pictures of the food. There's a small seating area, but not much, so it's more of a grab-and-go spot. Still, it's 100% worth the stop. Only downside? We don't live nearby, because I'd be here all the time. Definitely a place we wish we could bring home with us! read more

I was doing some work in Patterson, Ca. Stopped by Santa Nella and found this taco truck. Looked them up and learned they are pretty popular on Yelp. Tried 3 tacos Carnitas Asada Al pastor With two green and red salsa The carnitas taco was the best. Moist, tasty carnitas. Asada was dry and flavorless. Al pastor was just "ok" My fruit drink was the best. Don't know what the big HYPE is about this place. It would be different if they would be making homemade corn tortillas with and cutting the al pastor in front of you. read more

Traveling home from Southern California, and made sure to stop for my favorite Queso Birria Tacos, plus Carne Asada Nachos. We weren't disappointed. Quick, friendly service.

We were very pleased with his delicious food! We ordered tacos Al Pastor, Carnitas, and Asada-- all excellent well seasoned with Chile, onions, pickled carrots, and cucumber. And we also ordered the nachos supreme, which was a generous serving of homemade tortilla chips, smothered with meat, grilled onions, and jalapeño, queso, and other scrumptious items! We paid with cash and felt we received a wonderful value! read more

Why, why, why would you ever grab generic fast food when, for about the same price, you get local home cookin with a great story to boot?! This amazing food truck is located every day at the edge of the Shell Gas Station (closed Tue), right off of the I-5. Son (Ivan) and his mom started the business barely three years ago, after Ivan survived a terrible car accident his senior year in high school. As he candidly shares his story, he slammed into a ditch after taking a turn too fast. He speaks honestly and with a heavy dose of reflective regret about being foolish in his youth, one where he lost an arm and tore both knees. His yearlong recovery derailed his original ambition but opened the door to starting a food truck with his mother and aunt. A new ambition of bringing real, home cooking to central Calif. My father always said (and I always resisted accepting) that one closed door will lead to two new doors. Ivan agreed that nowhere did that adage turn out more true than here. As a Tucsonan (the first UNESCO designated city of gastronomy in all the U.S.) I have had the honor of sampling many an outstanding taco. Ivan did not disappoint. I'm a fan of the unusual (think Lengua and Cabeza). At Ivan's urging, we tried three verities: 4 quesebirria (4$ each and typically my fav), 2 pastor (~$3), and 2 cabeza (~$3). All were terrific but the quesabirria and cabeza were exquisite. I would not hesitate to get all cabeza next time, just for its singularity, and also try the lengua and asada! We were on a road trip and had plenty of drinks in our cooler but they offer agua frescas for $4 each... next time! With only one order ahead of us, our taco plates were ready in less than 10 minutes. There is parking in the Shell lot for 3-4 cars. A small bar/counter attached to the food truck with stools and a picnic table off to the right side accommodate diners. Cash is king (there is a 4% service fee for credit cards). read more

The food was so delicious , the burritos did not just same but everything has its own flavor , the service was ver friendly and welcoming . I would definitely come back to this food truck when ever i travel through here read more

I've only got this truck once but oh my! Heading south to San Diego in the early afternoon, got hungry and needed gas. A Quick Look on Yelp and La Jalisciense got the bill. Stopped off tab the gas station the truck sits at, off I-5, grabbed a drink she's paid for gas, then walked over and put my order in. Your standard, simple Mexican menu; tacos, tortes, quesadillas, nachos but It was the burritos that caught my eye. Ordered a carne asada supreme burrito. A few minutes later I was on my way south. This burrito was huge and paid about $10-11 for it. The favor was excellent! Lots of meat to go with the rice and beans but it was the salsa that put this gem over the edge for me. All in all, excellent food and very friendly people serving at the truck. Recommend? Oh yeah, can't wait to head thru SN again I'll be looking to grab another bite for my trip south. read more

I never stopped at Santa Nella while driving to LA, but now that I know this gem is here, might have to be my go-to stop! Thanks to the other yelpers for directing me here. The truck is at the corner of the 76 gas station and they have some tables set up on the side of the truck. Service is hella friendly and the prices are affordable. Honestly, I would pay the money here for fresh food rather than spending $15 at a fast food joint. They offer all the things: quesadillas, tacos, taco plates, burritos, quesabirria, etc. I ordered the taco plate (two carne asada and al pastor) with everything which came with onions, cilantro, pickled carrots and cucumber, and a jalapeño. It was devoured! The seasoning/flavor was perfection! The quesadilla comes with all the things too, but you can ask for just meat and cheese and it is equally as good. Huge portion too! Don't pass this truck up! Once you have it, I'm sure you'll always make this your stop too! read more
