Our last order of carne ranchera brisket tacos were so spicy we were unable to eat. I have been eating from Los Jacales for 20 + years and never before had any issues with them. I am really disappointed with this. Looks like someone changed their recipe! read more

Los Jacales is a Laredo Favorite. This restaurants are where memories are made. Other restaurants serve you food, this fine establishment serves love. The absolute best taco you NEED to get is the carne ranchera taco. It's amazing and fills your mouth with the joy and love you've always wanted. Service is speedy and warm. Inside decor is stuffed venison and adds great touch of laredos history. This place is a MUST TRY, when in Laredo! read more

It use to be good back in the day when the original owners were still running it. This new generation knows nothing about customer service. They charge refills on coffee omg. This last time we arrived an 1 hr before closing . We were drinking coffee and when we wanted refills they said they ran out and weren't allowed to make more. WHAT happened to customer service. I tell you they love to jack up prices but don't like to give you good customer service read more

Wow is all that I can say. I witnessed a manager calling out a gentleman on his dog being inside the restaurant. The gentleman explained to him that it was a service animal for PTSD and pointed to his tag. Showing ignorance, he told his employees that no future service to him. This will be the first and last time I go to that place. "You can't ask for any documentation on a service animal." What a baboon. Clearly not a dog friendly restaurant. read more

The Robert's special is the best savory taco you can get. Perfect for brunch. The machacado Al la Mexicans tacos are to die for. Service always grate. It's a great place for family for everyday place to go. Servers and other guest are always great to be around. A big and lots of space inside. If driver around a bit a parking spot will always open. And worth the wait. read more

Spent an hour maybe more to serve us our food people who got there later than us got there food and left us before we could get our food.

Breakfast tacos are the best, I usually get a barbacoa taco, the flour tortilla it's always cooked to perfection. Coffee is really good.

I ordered from this place based on their Uber ratings but it did not live up to them. I ordered the barbacoa plate for my husband, the migas plate for myself and an order of pancakes to share. The barbacoa, I did not get to try but we didn't have any cilantro nor onions to go with the tacos which was a dealbreaker for my husband. The migas had no flavor, not even a little bit of salt and the beans were dry. The pancakes seemed fluffy and looked really pretty but were also dry and tasteless. I added a lot of syrup but that didn't help. Really disappointed as I'm working from the hotel and can't go anywhere nor send the food back. read more

I hadnt visited this restaurant in about 10 years. I had breakfast early this week and the brisket taco tasted as if they used liquid smoke. The potato and egg was good. Service was quik but deadpan as most places in Laredo. The funny thing is they require a mask just to walk in but you can take it off as soon as you sit down (their logic is of concern lol). read more

In Laredo you can get a decent taco on almost every other block. However there is only one place you can get a Robert's Special with cheese and that's Los Jacales. This is a delicious HUGE messy treat. It is a thin layer of refried beans, bacon, brisket cooked in their secret sauce, cheese wrapped in a toasted flour tortilla. The price is reasonable at $4.50 (including cheese). read more

If you are ever this far south (not sure why you would be), but if you ever are, I guess you can try this place for breakfast tacos and other stuff. My wife and some of her family say that this is the best taco place in all of Laredo, but I am going to have to say, eh, it was ok. The best part of the taco was the tortilla. They cooked it to where is has the color and char that we liked in our tortillas. These tacos were ok and that's it. I was disappointed that they didn't have salsa verde, I have to have salsa verde with my tacos, strike 2. I have had better tacos in San Antonio. read more

Los Jacales brings back lots of memories for me. Working at Mercy coming here for lunch or eating breakfast tacos so many, many years ago. They are know for their carne ranchera tacos. Basically smoked brisket thinly sliced with their ranchera sauce served in flour tortillas. The tortillas were what my grandmother would call "talludas" - not soft and pillowy but a little tough and dry. The brisket was a little too smokey for me. Way more smokey than I remembered. As others have mentioned the parking is - tight and narrow which is never good when so many people in Laredo drive very large vehicles. Difficult to get in and out of. Coffee was a bit on the weak side. read more

Was in Laredo to visit family, had breakfast with mother and brother on a pandemic Saturday. Ranchero meat(brisket with ranchero gravy) were excellent. Salsa and pico de gallo made the meal complete. The chorizo and egg taco my mother had(edentouless) was easy to chew for her with perfect combination of chorizo/egg proportion. Service was friendly, attentive, always ready to top off your coffee. Also impressive was detail to Covid precautions. Mask, disinfectant, disposable plates, utensils etc. Overall great experience. read more

Try the Picadillo Tacos for lunch or the Bacon & Egg. Always a good place to eat. The place to clean & waitress are very polite. It's family runner & owned. Different kinds of break with real tortillas. read more

These people forgot my food. I ordered nachos... An appetizer. My whole party of 6 got all of their meals, and I was just sitting there with no food. I figured they were just taking a while, when I asked the waitress replied "My bad. My English isn't that well" BUT IT WAS GOOD ENOUGH FOR THE 6 OTHER PEOPLE? THIS PLACE SUCKS. read more

Great food! Wonderful Brisket, and good tasting tortillas. Unfortunately, the service was not that great. Waitress forgot to tell me they were out of my order. Also brought me wrong order. I have heard some wait staff are better than others. Maybe next time I'll pick the right waitress. read more

Whenever were in Laredo this is the place we go to for breakfast. Food is great as well as the service.

What a let down tasteless and when I say tasteless I mean everything the salsa on the huevos rancheros the eggs. The pancake was you guess it tasteless the oatmeal can't believe this place was packed. There are way better places than this and have no customers what a pity. read more

LOVE this place soooo much! I'm from Dallas and I HAVE to stop here for the carne ranchera tacos! Can't find tacos like these up north!

My husband brought me here when I was visiting from out of town. He suggested the brisket tacos. I cannot express enough how delicious these tacos were. I MUST KNOW what kind of sauce they use! I've never had anything quite like it. It's almost like a bbq sauce, but not thick at all. It's like a combination bbq/guisado gravy, but instead of it being thick and vinegary, it is thinner and absolutely mouth watering. The meat is tender, and the flour tortilla it's wrapped in is hot, buttery and delicious the way a tortilla should be. Please, if you have never tried the brisket tacos from this place, you are missing out! I usually order only two, because they are big. A hungry man (or woman) could possibly eat three, though. I cannot wait to visit this place again! read more

Parking sucks. Overpriced food. You can better food somewhere else. Waitress didn't ask me if I wanted a refill the entire time I was there. Meh. Eh. Go somewhere else. read more
