You can not go wrong with $1 street tacos--that taste good too. By the time we rolled here on our taco crawl, they were out of chicken. Thus, we had asada and al pastor. I also had an horchata. While I loss money on that watered-down horchata, the tacos were good. The al pastor was good, but it was not the star. Their asada is the clear crawl winner! On the north side of the busy Tweedy Downtown South Gate, it's worth the street parking. read more

I placed a "To good to go" order for pick up at this spot near my home. I paid about $6 for a random goodie bag from Tacos Jalisco. We are new to the area so it was nice to check out the surrounding area. There is plenty of parking nearby and other shopping plazas on the same street. Tacos Jaliscos is small taco shop located on Tweedy Blvd. My son and I showed up to pick up our order and we were greeted by a friendly couple who I'm assuming are the owners. I informed them that I was there to pick up our "To good to go" order and the male owner didn't hesitate to start getting our order ready. My son and I took a seat and we were checking out the decor and ambiance. Tacos Jalisco feels like you're in someone's home. The artwork and decorations really capture the Mexican flavors incorporated in their food. The owner brought my son and I a Jamaica (Hibiscus) drink which was refreshing and not overly sour or sweet but just right. We checked out their menu and Tacos Jaliscos is serving more than just tacos. This small sit down restaurant offers a vast variety of menu items. They sell typical Mexican breakfast/lunch dishes but they also venture out a little and offer fusion items like Birria Ramen, Carne Asada fries and Tortas de Camaron. We received our order in a timely manner and we headed home to check out what Tacos Jalisco hooked us up with. If you're not familiar with the 'To good to go" app it's a service that allows you to purchase "Surprise Bags" of unsold food at a significant discount. When I opened up the surprise bag I was pleasantly surprised to find a 3 taco meal order. They gave me 2 shredded chicken tacos and one shredded beef taco fully loaded with toppings and sauces. The order also included rice and beans which were very flavorful. The tacos were very good as well the shredded beef taco was my personal favorite. My son on the other hand enjoyed the shredded chicken. The tacos were soaked in their juices and sauce which made them fall apart tender. I would definitely come back to this place to try out the other items on their menu. If you're on the "To good to go" app and see this place come across your feed definitely snag up a surprise bag. I also would recommend checking this place out on your own accord because the food is solid and the customer service is top notch. read more

I love the crunchy TACOS beef. It comes with lettuce, tomato, avocado, so good. Also the burritos of carne asada o lengua,are bomb too

Bad food and dirty place also portions of food are small for 20 plus dollars plate . Food not fresh or made daily the food was old and stale tasting read more

Worst "Mexican" food EVER!! No taste, cold and served with hate. The owner/cashier is a tacist and makes you feel like crap if he doesn't like the way you look or act. I ended up throwing all my food away because of the hostility. It wasn't even worthy for my dog (and yes I tasted it and spit it out). DO NOT EAT HERE! read more

Its sad to see the old owners not own this business anymore. Food flavor and food texture has changed a bit and pricing has increased. I would recommend just changing the business name so customers know its new cooks preparing the food. Good luck to all. read more

Tried the asada and al pastor quesadillas based on the ratings. The ratings are correct! Everything was delicious and cooked to order. It's a humble small restaurant but those are usually the best surprises!! Can't wait to come back and try the rest of the menu! read more

I've lived nearby to this hidden gem and never ventured inside until around 2 years ago. Food, service and ambiance is wonderful. We decided after our first time there that it would become our Taco Tuesday spot. Be warned though, it gets kinda packed especially before closing time on Tuesdays for their special when the rush kicks in. Oh man, they have a salsa bar with this habanero sauce that's sooo good and spicy that my mouth waters when I think about it. One lil container is all I need for like 4 tacos. A lil goes a long way. I dare ya to have some. ;) Anyway, give it a shot. It may become your new spot too. read more

I come here once a week and the tacos never fail me I love the hospitality and the sincerity I get from the family here read more

We came across this place on yelp and decided to try their tacos for dinner. I have not been able to find a good taco spot in SG so I was excited to find a place with good reviews. Tacos were okay, asada had good flavor. Service was very slow and this is the only reason I probably won't come here again, I had tried to call and place a phone order but no one answered. My search for good tacos in SG continues! read more

During this difficult time of quarantine, I found this place on yelp and honestly THANK GOODNESS!!! This little piece of heaven sells the best agua fresca de Jamaica homemade there! + delicious tortas de carne asada! For under $6!! What a steal, agua fresca was like $2.75 for a large one but I'll pay that any day for some homemade agua fresca and not the trash they sell at tacos gavillan. No offense to those who enjoy their food, but this place is authentic!! read more

Soooo good! So far we've had the Tacos Durados and the carne asada burrito. Glad to have such amazing food in South Gate :)

The asada and Al pastor meats taste so good with anything you get. I like how soft and juicy they are. If you like your meats well seasoned, you'll enjoy this place. Considering how expensive everything else is right now, their prices are reasonable. The location is small so we usually take it to go. There's also parking behind their location read more

My job is around the corner and I always have my workers go get the food for me from here..but today I walked here to grab some Mexican food...its a hole in the wall place with a few tables and one tv..simple. The food is really good compared to the restaurants that are bigger and more 'fancier'...honestly I've had the chicken taco to the carne asada to the tostadas to their torts planchada to their sopes and it pretty simple and jst delicious. Their meat is very flavorful... CASH ONLY read more

This is my second review for this restaurant...while I still enjoy their food I have to say that their service has gone down. It always takes so long to receive your order no matter how many or how few customers are there. It is family run which is nice but they do lack a sense of urgency when it comes to preparing your meals. Don't come here is your starving because it isn't going to be ready quick enough. The restaurant could also benefit from a deep cleaning and a fresh coat of paint. read more

This place has good food. Their food taste very close to a home-cooked meal. They have several items on the menu but a few of my favorites are the tostadas, sopes, and tacos dorados. read more

Okay so I'm from San Diego where we have thee best Mexican food. It's right by the border, what can you expect? After unsuccessful attempts to find goodness in SF and LA I stumbled upon TDJ because it is by the school I work at. The nachos are made with fresh chips and are delicious packed with goodies. The sopes have lettuce, tomato, and avocado unlike King Taco who sticks to the meat and cheese formula. It's cheap and the owners treat you like family. You can walk in the back door through the kitchen. Even the burrito, minus the rice and beans kinda, low key reminds me of home. Hole in the wall goodness. read more

The only reason why I give this place a 4 is because its a little hole in the wall restaurant but it gives you the feeling like you are eating in Mexico which to me it's awesome, who doesn't wanna get the feeling like they are eating in Mexico since it's so crazy now to go eat out there... I Miss You Puerto Nuevo... lol... Anyways... You gotta try there Torta Planchada de carne Asada, there sopes de Asada and there tacos de Asada... They are delicious... They are very tasty... There salsa is really good too my favorite is the red salsa and watch out for the habanero salsa that one is very hot... Well hope u guys find my review useful and give this place a chance... read more
