So one random day it was all about taco goodness and to find a place that does it right is something that makes me smile! It was all about the pastor quesadilla as it had just the right amount of flavorful meaty goodness mixed with some pineapple and then it had lettuce and tomato inside it making for almost like a torta which is something I don't believe I've had before in a quesadilla either way it was still delicious and totally hit the spot in every way! As for their tacos they too were yummy and just the way they should be even more so when I added some of they yummy salsa to them as you can always add more to make it hotter just the way I like it! Overall this was a mellow yummy taqueria that is totally doing it right with that said who knows when or if I'll get back here again but if so I'd be stoked on it! read more

I was craving tacos and saw this place had a 4.5 stars and was cheap so we decided to get food here. Its our first time coming and it was near the pagoda. We ordered 2 of each type of tacos and totaled to around $33. I thought it would be wrapped in a foam containers but it was wrapped in foils. The foils was burning hot. I have had plenty of tacos before but this one I was surprised it was rated a 4.5 stars because the meat on tacos was dry. read more

Food was good , had the tacos with a hot sauce that worked well. Sometimes you just need some tacos and this is a good place to get them

I have to preface by saying I moved here from California and the tacos just don't compare to authentic ones to me, even though this is 100% authentic Mexicans running this place. I find the flavors to be a bit bland, toned down for Americans who can't handle spice and flavor and this bothers me. Especially for their chicken and pork tacos which are my favorites. They're a bit pricey at almost $3 a taco but they come properly filled and topped with fresh cilantro and onions. I like that they use white meat chicken for the tacos and despite white meat being typically dry the tacos are juicy and lean. The pork tacos are not something I'm used to and both version of the pork tacos were the exact same except the pastor had pineapple? I expected them to be different and sad one isn't a pulled/carnita style but rather chopped crispy bits of pork. While very delicious this means they're also a bit dry and just don't seem as meaty and filling as the chicken or steak tacos do. The rice and beans are good sides, nothing special, but not bad. Their guacamole and salsas are amazing and I use them to flavor up the beans. I alway get guacamole from here because it's THAT good. Probably the best I ever had. Their horchata is amazing and the perfect balance of sweet and refreshing with the perfect kiss of cinnamon. Most places make theirs too sweet or too cinnamony but this is also the best horchata I've ever had, and I love that they give you a nice huge cup of it! It's a bit pricey but worth every cent! I also love the variety of drinks they have. A Mexican restaurant without Jarritos is just blasphemy and they have ALL the flavors here! Whoever is running this place kept the menu simple but with every necessity that should be on the menu and the food is always ALWAYS consistent for me whether I pick it up or order through Doordash. That's a big bonus for me and let's you know this place is run with love and care. So while they may not be my favorite tacos ever, they do have other things that are and the food is definitely the best in town. The service is also wonderful and consistent. You really can't ask for more from a restaurant. You won't be disappointed unless you've had tacos from California or Texas but even then, they're pretty darn good. read more

First off we drove an hour for food so we are serious about this lol The food was amazing !!! This was my first firm having a pupusa and it was so darn good.

Also, we only speak English and the customers and staff were so kind and helpful read more

There really are so many good taco places in Reading; but I walked into this place and saw something amazing looking on the grill and ordered it and have not regretted my decision! It is called a Huarache or something; but it is basically a huge grilled taco. Recommended! read more

We were in the area to visit the Pagoda and wanted yummy Mexican food. I came to Yelp knowing we wanted the place the locals go to and this is it! The food is fresh and flavorful and made fresh. It takes a bit for the food to be ready but it's with it. Awesome portion sizes and just all around great. If we lived closer this would be our go to spot. There is a parking lot which is amazing. The Agua Frescas were fantastic too! read more

Taqueria Jimenez - Huarache- huge and yummy. Seems to be a popular item - Mexican Near Me - Reading, Pennsylvania

The papusas were delicious, so hot and made to order. The chicken and cheese was my favorite! Red sauce on top could use a bit more flavor , but salt did the trick . read more

Amazing and affordable food. Humble location, but must try in reading. We ordered tacos, huereches, and pupusas. Everything was great and flavorful. very authentic read more

The chips and (spicy!) salsa had me at "hello". Absolutely delicious fare with its roots in Salvadoran cuisine. Dining room isn't anything to write home about, but that's not why you come here. You come here to get a bangin' pupusa and huarache. Freakin' delicious. read more

Ordered food on door dash and it was amazing. We ordered the huraches and we will definitely order again.

The food is good. The prices are not that bad. I would recommend going to get food there. The only issue I had was parking.

OK so usually their food is good. But yesterday I ordered some tacos and a burrito of Carne Asada and the burrito was nice and big but the meat tasted old and hard. I had it delivered by Doordash . Usually I go in person but didn't have a car yesterday, so I was really kind of upset but like I said usually their food is good read more

Bangin' tacos. Not the white people kind either. I write this as I sit here and I gotta take one star away for how long they take for carryout orders at night. They said 25 minutes, but it's been 40 minutes already. And it's the second time this happened. I think the door says something about wanting to hire a chef, so that might be the reason for the slowdown. Definitely worth trying. Mariachi band is legit. Pina Coloda frozen fruit bars are A1. Air conditioning might be broken though, or not on. Update (November 2016): Most recent visit was great. Tacos are still cheap and awesome; I usually hate cilantro and raw onions, but the flavors go perfectly with the tacos. Red/green sauces are a tasty addition. My friend got a $10 platter and really enjoyed it. My side of refried beans was generously portioned but a little bit bland. Free chips & salsa were fresh and delicious. Restaurant ambience is casual and pleasant. Service is a tiny bit slow, but very friendly. It's certainly worth the wait. read more

First let me start by saying that it is so difficult to find good, genuine Mexican food in this area. Coming from Texas and SoCal, I have rather high expectations, so I get it. That being said, though, I LOVE Taqueria Jimenez. I love their food. The area is not as easy to get to now that I've moved out of the city, but it's still worth the trek here and there. The deduction in a star comes from the service. If you get your stuff to go, it's fine. A longer wait, but everything is made fresh, so it's forgivable. If you dine in, though, expect to wait quite a while for just about anything: drinks, napkins, refills, anything. Overall, still a great hole in the wall, though! read more

This place always gets everything done right. Amazing food at affordable prices. My go to Mexican spot for a quick bite. Pupusas are excellent. Pollo Tacos with cheese sooo good. Quesadilla is out of this world. They even give you free salsa from different varieties. 5/5 all day out the door. You guys should add Nachos to the menu I think you'll make a few extra dollars I would buy that right away! read more

This location has wonderful food with many options to choose from my personal favorite from here are their pupusas and there huaraches they have amazing flavor and taste their food is made from scratch daily and the wait time is sometimes long due to all of the orders they get but it's worth the wait. There staff is amazing and they homemade drinks are amazing too! 10/10 recommended going here read more

By far the best tacos around!!! I go there at least once a week for the tacos. I have never tried anything else but I don't see any reason when their tacos are five star!!! read more

Always delicious! I always get the papusa with Pork. Just the right amount of filling and the crispy cheese and cabbage makes this perfect.

Excellent food in an inviting atmosphere, and centrally located in the city. Parking available. The service and food were both excellent, very authentic and tasty. I will definitely go back here next time I'm visiting the area. Got takeout by ordering online. This is during the COVID-19 pandemic. read more

Ugh, one of the best taco spots in Reading. They load up the tacos and the pricing is very fair. Had ordered every type of taco and each one is delicious, filled with so much flavor. I will drive into the city to grab tacos from Taqueria Jimenez any day. Definitely worth a try! read more

We ordered several kinds of vegetarian and non-veg pupusas, that ended up being pretty dry, like they had come from the freezer--not much of the delicious juiciness that the non-veg tacos had! Lengua, pastor, and other meats were seasoned perfectly in soft, hot tortillas. That said, the cafeteria ambiance is not much to speak about. There's a wall between the cash register/open kitchen area and the dining room, so it's not easy to signal a server--you have to walk over if you need anything. The servers were friendly, though, and the food came somewhat quickly, as soon it was prepared (not all at once). read more

First time here with my family. We ordered Tostada de Adobada, Tacos de Adobada, Tacos Campechanos and Pupusa de Chicharron y queso. Everything was delicious, especially the Pupusa. The service was very good and the price was not bad, we paid $25 for all that food plus 3 sodas. I will definitely come again and also recommend this place. Thank you read more

Order and drinks taken. Never got the drinks, food arrived about twenty minutes later. Chips were empty about 5 minutes into the wait, never got any refills. Meals came, and had to ask for the water for a second time. 5 minutes into the meal she brings us bottles of water... Didn't even ask if we wanted bottled water. I'm here for work and the tap water is fine in reading. I got a steak fajita, nothing to write home about. The meat and veggies were hardly warm and didn't have much flavor. This area is also a bit sketchy. Poor service, mediocre food, and a bad location. I'd recommend going somewhere else. read more

While in on town on business wanted to find some true street tacos. This place did not disappoint. Fresh made corn tortillas. The tacos are very filling. You cannot go wrong with eating here. The guy that was taking the order very nice as well. read more

When in town I always stop here for taco's. The taco steak meat has a full flavor. Prices are good.

The food was amazing and such good quality. The prices were all really great too. Some places like to give you small portions of chicken or use dark and white parts of the meat to save costs but this place didn't. The enchilada was really filled with all white meat and seasoned well. The mole sauce had a nice kick to it. Service was fast maybe waited 15 min and it was made to order so no old food waiting around. read more

My Favorite Taco Spot In Reading....From Philly Not Too Authentic Mexican Joints Always Get Chicken, And Steak Tacos. But Sometimes A Hurrache Is A Great Compliment read more

Great tacos. Restaurant was clean. Isabel was courteous and friendly. My order was ready within 25 minutes. Ten tacos

This is my favorite taqueria in Reading. Everything I've tried has been delicious. We always take our friends here to showcase the deliciousness that Reading has to offer. Personal faves include the revuelta pupusa, ceviche tostada, enchiladas, and any taco. It's Real Mexican food. Not Americanized. So it's good. There is a well lit parking lot, nice staff, and clean restaurant. Going here is like going to a deli. Casual and tasty. read more

Love this place!! Best Mexican food in Reading. Service is great and the food even better!!

I happened to find this place by accident while touring the old outlet area with my good friend and his family in my vehicle. My friend spotted the place and asked if we wanted to get some food from here. We agreed but ordered out because it was late and so happy that we did. My family along with my good friend and his family ordered Tacos. I have to admit they were the best tasting Tacos I have had in a long time. Super fresh ingredients and just so tasty. I ate them at our hotel since we were visiting Reading from NYC and NJ. Now after such a good experience I had to visit one more time before I went back home. The next day we came back and sat in for dinner. The waitress was super friendly and very attentive. She took our orders. Nine in our party. This time around we ordered Tortas (Milanesa de Bistec) and Tacos (Al-Pastor - pork with grilled pineapple)(Pollo- Chicken)(Bistec - Steak). Same results as before. The Tortas were DELICIOUS!!! This place just makes good food. The steak in the Torta was very tender. They used a good cut of meet which is a plus. They don't cut corners here. They use the best ingredients in their food. And you can taste it! Everyone in our family was happy with the taste of the food and service. After getting stuffed with the best food in town we had desert. Had some frozen fruit pops that are imported. Wow! They were delicious and use real fruit. We had Coconut (taste so good) and Tamarind (Tamarindo). Both pops were so good. Had it for the first time and was truly impressed. Watch out Ben & Jerry's! So in all the place was very clean, nice ambiance and friendly staff not to mention the great cook in the kitchen and best of all the food is not pricey. So if you are in town please stop by and see or taste for yourself. Hope it leaves a lasting impression like it has with our families. read more

BEST Taco spot in the whole city of Reading service is great the only problem I've had is they usually give complementary chips and dip when you eat in but not every time Not sure if they are picking favorites or just think I'm too fat to be eating free chips on top of my meal but either way food is great ! read more

Best tacos in town. I need a discount when I come in for writing this review. Thanks.
