Staying in Mendocino. Decided to do a road trip, coast, then around through the redwoods...so a big circle. Drove by and swung back around to come here. Omg, food and prices... so good. I had the Quesabirria taco, tostada ceviche, and 2 street taco plate with rice&beans, negra modelo, and pineapple drink they make. Ugh wish they were near where I live. Everyone was super nice. In the same parking lot as a gas station so don't let that fool you. Such a nice experience. read more

Stopped by Taqueria Jalos by accident. I stopped to grab some gas and figured I'd stop and get a quick bite as the Taquaria was right next to it. Man am I glad I did. I ordered the bacon breakfast burrito and it was one of the best burritos I've had. Very flavorful and it was not a small burrito either. Service was super quick and staff are very friendly. I got my burrito in a matter of minutes. If you are looking to get authentic Mexican food this has to be your go to spot. 10/10 recommend read more

Taqueria Jalos - Bacon breakfast burrito - Mexican Near Me - Willits, California

Ordered the asada super burrito and a melon drink. I didn't know the chips and salsa came with it, so that's a bonus. Burrito is delicious and well wrapped. Service was great, I ordered to go at the counter but I didn't have to wait very long and they were pretty busy at the time. Definitely worth a stop. Looks like it's connected to the gas station but this isn't gas station food. The inside was clean and tidy as well. read more

I got 2 burritos and they were both cold and very watery. The beans were all watery and very gross tasting. Unless you like bean water I would not recommend. read more

Don't let the gas station location fool you, this place serves big portions and good flavors for a fair price. I mean, just look at these super nachos, weighing in at a couple pounds! Makes for a couple meals. read more

Putting this restaurant next to fast food chains is a shame. No amount of words can put their food to justice. Service is gold, food is gold, and portions are chefs kiss. They load you up and you for sure get ur bang for your buck. read more

Yum!!! Random stop on a road trip so good & so reasonable too! I got the 2 taco special with rice and beans special only $7 AMAZING!

Great food super quick!!! Good customer service as well! And they have agua fresca piña so delicious!

This spot was soooo delicious and affordable. We stopped here on our way to San Jose and it didn't disappoint. I had the special "quesa-birria for $5. My husband had the 2 taco special and our daughter had a bean and cheese burrito. We also had a large horchata. The entire bill was about $18. It's next door to the Arco, but it has its own outdoor patio. read more

This spot is next to Arco Gas Station. After coming back last night into Willits, I decided to give it a try, since I see people always going in and out. I decided to get a grilled chicken and Al Pastor Wet Burrito. It was for to-go. I can tell by the service, they wanted to get out of there. I asked for fork and knife, they said it was all in the bag. When I got back to the Motel (this small town only has Motels), only had the fork. It was hard trying to cut through the burrito. Polo asado, didn't have flavor, and matter of fact, I chewed into a few gristles. Al pastor, also didn't have much flavor. Over all, I would have enjoyed it had the meat been seasoned well! I guess it was a good thing to make it a wet burrito. read more

We love Taqueria Jalos!! One of, if not the best, Mexican places in town! Food is always hot, delicious, full of flavor, good portions, love love love!! read more

Good cheap Mexican food. Fast service and friendly. Great on the go place to stop. Convenient.

Waitress seem to always be in a mood and food doesn't meet expectations, I got menudo that was burnt

Great food , great price , great service. Went here for breakfast after other places in town full and we were not disappointed. We will be back. read more

The food is always great and the staff are very polite and friendly. One of my favorite places to eat in Willits.

A Mexican taco joint sharing space with an ARCO? Sounds suspicious but it's one of my favorite places to get a good Mexican meal. It certainly isn't a first date spot, it's more of "I just drove from Fort Bragg on 20 and I'm starving" sort of place. The locals come here and being that it shares space with the quickly mart, it seems always busy. The food is good. It's plentiful and quite tasty. I had the two chicken enchiladas plate. The chips were ok and the salsa ok but the main dish hit the spot. I had a pina water to wash it down. I don't know what time they are open until but it's well worth it. South west corner of the main Willits drag and 20.... read more

My wife and I both got wet burritos They were both tasty and the price was reasonable They were also quite large, although I would have preferred a bit more meat read more

Y'all..... come get this quesa birria!!!! It is, hands down, the best in town. They don't skimp out on any meat and cheese and crisp them to perfection. Also, the $7 two tacos with rice and beans deal is unmatched. The plate of food is massive. I love this place! Just a heads up though, the glass bottle cokes are $5.25 which shocked me but whatever , I'm still getting one. read more

This place is so delicious. I don't even live near it, but stop every single time I am near. You can't beat the taco plate, the ceviche is perfect, as is the birria. Best beans and rice. The only thing that I am never crazy about is the chips they serve with the salsa. Not my favorite, but everything else is so good I can overlook that one detail. read more

Yummy, reasonable prices, great customer service! Beans were creamy, great amount of cheese in the burrito!

We have been eating her for 5 years. Food is authentic Mexican. Most Mexican places in Mendocino are not very authentic, true Mexican. Jalos also has best prices. So, it's a win-win!! The only place here I easy Mexican since we moved from Southern California. read more

Taqueria Jalos - the inside of a burrito - Mexican Near Me - Willits, California

So twice in a row now food has been under par, last week the chile relleno sauce tasted like plain tomato sauce today the Chile verde came out with fried carnitas meat not Chile verde chunks. The taste is over whelming grease. After mentioning the carnitas instead of the chunks that should be in there we were ignored. Pretty sure this if the last time I'll be coming here after it being my favorite place for years. Not sure what happened but the good odd falling off. read more

My husband and I get the Molcajete bowl all the time and share it is a lot of food amazing. There's three ways you can get it garlic medium or spicy but tonight we had the tacos special we had grilled chicken and pork and they were both amazing. highly recommend this place. read more

Hard to find a place open on a Monday night that serves soup. But they have it here--beef soup, shrimp soup, and fish soup. The fish soup was a bit too spicy for my taste (if, I knew before, I would have ordered mild). The beef soup was good. We're from the Bay Area and don't get to Ukiah very often, but when we do, we hope to try some other things on their menu. read more

Delicious authentic Mexican food! I ordered a burrito (it was HUGE) my bf had the shrimp fajitas. Both dishes were fast and big portions. The customer service was very friendly. Handling with COVID-19 The restaurant was clean and they made sure people kept their distance. There was an employee cleaning everything the entire time we were there. read more

Taqueria Jalos - a bowl of food on a table - Mexican Near Me - Willits, California

This place is delicious! This is a must go to when in Willits. The plates come packed with food! Some of my photos were half way into eating. The tacos come with salsa, and is served with radish and grilled onion. The beans are really tasty and not greasy. The rice is fluffy and not overpowered with tomato flavor. The nachos are absolutely amazing and are packed! I opt out of the crema (sour cream) but they taste amazing to me. I love the guac sauce on it, even though I love guacamole. I feel like they got the guac sauce down and taste perfect for nachos. The meat here is good quality and not chewy or filled with fat at every bite. They have different salsas and orders are served with chips and salsa, too. read more

They put in a good amount of meat and very flavorful, the carne asada is really tasty, my wife really enjoyed her Al pastor tacos. Very generous with their servings. Definitely going back read more
