This is by far my favorite Mexican food in Sarasota. Having moved from New Mexico, I've struggled for the last 14 years trying to find a decent Mexican food dish. Lo and behold, we stumbled across this place, which is located inside of a gas station. I usually find the most authentic Mexican food in gas stations lol. We took a chance and we were silent the entire meal because of how amazing everything tasted. Everyone working there was so kind, and I always appreciate a little hole in the wall. If you're searching for good Mexican food and you've been struggling, try this place out!! read more

Taco Jalisco - Chile Relleno - Mexican Near Me - Sarasota, Florida

No joke, this was one of the best burritos I have ever had!! I saw they had a California burrito on the menu (which I love), but sadly they didn't have fries in the burrito, so it already felt un-authentic. I went with the steak burrito instead and it was so delicious! Fresh ingredients, not too big, and the salsa verde was the perfect topping! Don't be fooled that it is located within a gas station, the food is great! read more

I'm was not even done with my food and had to write a review from how good this is. The guacamole sauce at the sauce caddy is not to be missed. Phenomenal authentic Mexican food. Delicious, hot and really fresh. I had the Chile relleno and I'm from Los Angeles originally, this is the real deal here. Choice food and very sweet staff. I have had horchata all over the state. This topples my last rated #1 horchata and give it to Taco Jalisco! Muchas gracias paisanos! read more

Taco Jalisco - Shrimp fajitas - Mexican Near Me - Sarasota, Florida

In my opinion, this small Mexican restaurant is The Best in SRQ, by a long shot. Not much for ambiance but you won't miss it. The food is that good. Growing up, I had the privilege of savoring delicious Mexican cuisine made by family or at our favorite restaurants on the west coast. I've made dozens of trips to Mexico over the years. This restaurant truly embodies the authentic experience. The beef burrito supreme and American-style chicken tacos are always my gotos. The corn tortilla quesadillas are simply fantastic. And let's not forget the breakfast burritos and tacos, which are equally delicious. We are big fans of this place! read more

I have to up the star rating for this place since it's my go to Mexican place. The carnitas tacos are killer. Comes with grilled onions and the pork is delicious. The shrimp fajitas are also great. 9-10 pieces of perfectly cooked shrimp with grilled veggies, refried beans and yellow rice. Birria plates is also delicious. Tender meat, with rice and beans. Sauce is tasty. If you want a simple but fantastic tasting Mexican meal for an unbelievable price, this is the place to go. read more

Don't let the fact that it's in a gas station deter you. My tacos were delicious and they have plenty of options on the menu.

Whew! I used to live in Houston and haven't had a Taqueria this good since there. Amazing food and huge portions!

Tacos was super fresh and hot loves it! Very tasty!! Would definitely eat here again. The staff in the kitchen was a little loud laughing but overall well worth it. Don't let a restaurant in a gas station freak you out so worth it:) read more

Taco Jalisco - Cochinita pivil - Mexican Near Me - Sarasota, Florida

This Mexi spot is easy to miss - your more likely to discover it via a "twenty five on number two please" comment than find yourself saying, "hey Hun, let's go get lunch today, my buddy recommended it - its in the Texaco station"! Note: the food doesn't taste like 10w40 or have the effivescenc of 89 octane - that's a joke people. "Hidden Gem" I hate that term, gosh, it's so overused and what gem is it? But there is an exciting vibrancy to the inside - the people who I see there are cheerful and chowing traditional dishes - nothing too unique like Hurache Aztec or Taco Azules - cactus dishes - oh my, listen to me - seven months in a heavily Mexican food induced area and now I've become a harsh variety critic - I shall do that no longer. My order got messed up - it was a lollypop order - two beef tacos on corn tortillas, rice and beans. I got two hard tacos which was realized as the order came over the counter, I graciously said "nooo problem - I'm sure I'll enjoy these" uugh, but always put on a happy face in disparities, especially incorrect tacos. read more

Their mixed stirfry was really good with the shrimp. I was surprised at the quality of the shrimp. The Jamaica wasn't really sweet enough, and it was kinda on the pricey side. The real winner of my samplings was the Beria stew and the rice and beans. I drive about a half an hour to and from and I gotta tell you that their beer with their rice and beans is worth it. read more

Do not let the location fool you! The Food is delicious and fresh. Taco Jalisco is One of the best Mexican restaurants here in Sarasota.

Hidden gem inside this gas station. Love the very flavorful beef tacos. Prices are very reasonable and service is prompt and friendly. I'll keep going back! read more

Prefer the tacos was not a fan of the chimichangas. Was more flour tortilla then ingredients. read more

We've been ordering food from this place for years and it has been excellent, up until our last three orders. The taco meat is now bland and dry, the chips are stale, we paid extra for jalapenos and did not get them. Such a shame. They were so good before. Now all new people there and food is no bueno. :( I hope they figure it out. read more

Was craving Mexican, and this place was nearby. Had to do about 6 U-turns to find the place, because I didn't realize it's inside of a gas station - but I'm glad I found it! Outstanding food and the lady taking my order was super friendly and helpful! I had a chorizo and egg taco for $3. When I opened it, it looked small, but it was packed with flavor. Also ordered the Huevos rancheros. I have never seen them the way they came, I think I had to assemble it myself? Regardless, this was absolutely delicious. The sauce it came with had an amazing kick. The lady working said they made their own sauces, and gave me 4 different ones to try out, and every single one was outstanding, particularly a chipotle one. This place is a must-try! read more

Stopped by for a breakfast burrito. I've been here before and never had a bad experience. It looks a little sketchy being in a gas station but don't let that fool you.

Best tacos I have ever had!! I crave them for a year till I can have them again. I would eat them every night if that was an option for me. We stay about a 20 minutes away from here and it's worth the 3 trips.. So so good!! 1000% recommend!! read more

Super delicious and fast, I love this place! Friendly nice people. And an awesome salsa bar!

Food is fresh, delicious and priced well. Never disappointed with our meals. Great takeout

Ordered tacos (carne asada & carnitas), tamales, and guacamole n chips...no bueno!!! Tacos had pickled onions and the meat was too fatty. The guacamole definitely didn't have enough avocados (if any)...it was more like salsa verde. Tamales were decent, meat was overcooked but still good. read more

Great lunch option with large portions, short wait time, and easy parking for pickup.

Excellent Authentic Mexican food with great prices! Lots of place to sit. Food comes out fast. We had a taco platter, tacos and Chilaquiles. All the food coming out looked great. Can't wait to try more options. Don't let the location fool you, great place to add to the list. read more

I've seen taco Jalisco on Yelp before when I've craved Mexican in Sarasota. At first, I had trouble with the fact that it was inside a gas station. But let's be honest, the best Indian food in Tampa is connected to a gas station in front of Westshore mall, so I shouldn't be so picky. Even with getting past that, I had trouble going because it was always slammed. This morning I was craving a breakfast burrito or breakfast tacos and while I'd usually swing into a wawa for that, I decided to give Jalisco a try. It was mercifully slow and I was able to order right away. They clearly make everything fresh because my order took 15 minutes, which seems excessive for a breakfast burrito but i was also hungry and am always impatient. Anyway, you're probably better off ordering online or by phone so it's ready when you show up. If you order in the store, you order at the counter but pay at the convenience store register. I went with the egg and ham burrito. Would have preferred chicken but it wasn't offered. Regardless, for a simple burrito with just those ingredients, salsa and potatoes, this was a delicious breakfast burrito. I'm sure it had something to do with the river of oil they use on the grill, but whatever, it was excellent. They have a huge menu and everything looks authentic- though this is a suburban white dude from Long Island saying that, so take it with a grain of salt. Regardless, this is worth a stop if you're craving some excellent Mexican food. read more

Food was great (burrito supreme and chicken enchilada) but best for takeout. It does share space with a nuvu gas station but don't let that keep you from picking up and taking home. Very yummy! read more
