    Chips and spicy guac
    Brenda A.

    Super cute restaurant with outdoorish seating as well as a fully stocked bar. We went on taco Tuesday and enjoyed some happy hour items and very good margaritas. We ordered a spicy habanero margarita extra spicy and they delivered! It was just the right amount of heat. We also had the potato tacos, mushroom tacos and guacamole and chips along with a variety of salsas. The salsa ranged from charred and mild to spicy with a hit of Chile de arbol. Excellent service, I'll definitely be back!

    The pork shank before my sister and I remembered we were raised by wolves.
    Brooks W.

    First off, the food was delicious. Let's get that out of the way. My sister and I split the pork shank, which arrived in full Fred Flintstone fashion, an enormous, prehistoric-looking masterpiece perched on a cloud of creamy goodness. It was perfectly cooked, deeply flavorful, and somehow managed to stay juicy despite its cartoon-sized proportions. By the end of the meal, all that remained was a lonely bone and a plate that looked like it had been licked clean by wolves. The tamales were next-level smooth, cheesy corn perfection. The potato taquitos were ridiculously good, and adding the extra chunky guacamole took everything up another notch. The atmosphere deserves a shout-out too. The restaurant had a lively energy without feeling chaotic, great music playing throughout, and giant photos of women in Día de los Muertos makeup adorning the walls. My daughter was absolutely fascinated by them and spent half the meal studying each one like she was visiting an art gallery. But as great as the food was, the real stars were the staff. Our four- and six-year-old absolutely destroyed our table. They changed their food orders twice after the food had already arrived. They changed their drinks almost as often. They crawled under the table. They terrorized nearby tables. By the end of the meal, the table looked like a tiny food-based natural disaster had occurred. There were straws stuck into refried beans, kinetic sand mixed into drinks, salsa where salsa should never be, and enough general mayhem to qualify for federal disaster relief. The staff didn't blink once. When my son suddenly decided his burrito was unacceptable and he needed tacos immediately, complete with a full meltdown, the expeditor knelt down and calmly asked, "Would you like tacos? What would you like in them? No problem, I can do that for you."He let us keep the burrito (which became lunch the next day), and five minutes later fresh tacos appeared. Our waitress was equally incredible. When my daughter decided orange juice was no longer acceptable and demanded a Shirley Temple instead, she didn't bat an eyelash. She simply smiled, made it happen, and continued delivering impeccable service. Great food gets you in the door. Service like this makes you a customer for life. A++ all around.

    Beef cheek birria and mushroom
    Elaine T.

    First time trying this place with friends from the area and we all said we would go back! Our server Ana was delightful, fun and very professional. We started with margaritas, 2 Cadillacs for my friends, and I got the spicy skinny passionfruit with less of the juice to make it more to my taste. We loved the presentation of the Cadillac margaritas with a mini grand marnier bottle upside down in the drink! We all shared the regular guacamole and we tasted an assortment of the tacos (you may mix 2 types in one order). I got the beef cheek birria and the mushroom, and tasted the shrimp. They were all good on corn tortillas and the extra habenero sauce on the side we requested added a great kick. I didn't love the mushroom choice, but it wasn't bad, just a bit bland. The shrimp were tiny and heavily dressed in a crema, not my preference at all. One of my friends loved her pork carnitas, and another friend loved his steak taco, so depending on your taste, choose the selections that might work best for you. I found the black beans bland and under seasoned, but you can add hot sauce to perk them up.

    Birria Breakfast Burrito
    Meghan T.

    I had been wanting to try Jaime Taqueria for a long time because so many people had told me about their delicious breakfast burritos and because I love its sister restaurant, Ospi. Downtown El Segundo is always fun to visit and we went on a gorgeous day, so everyone was eating on the patio. Service was excellent, the restaurant was cute, and the horchata latte was delicious! The bartender made my latte for me and was very attentive. We got the birria burrito and the filet mignon burrito. Apparently, they just raised the prices on their burritos, but I think it was overall a reasonable price for the size and quantity of meat. The side sauces were also super yummy. Overall, really enjoyed everything! I would definitely be interested in trying their other menu items. Jaime is a cute place for a weekend brunch for sure!

    Guacamole and Chips
    Jaime R.

    ¡Jaime! Taqueria - All Service, No Seasoning! I had high expectations for ¡Jaime! Taqueria, partly because we share a name and partly due to the hype. While the ambience is "upscale taqueria" with a nice bar and a nice patio, the music was a bit too loud for comfort or to have a conversation. The staff saved the experience. They were attentive and kind--especially helpful since my dining guest was 55 minutes late. Unfortunately, the service is the only reason this place gets any stars, because the food was beyond mediocre. The food was a series of disappointments, starting with the $9 "Happy Hour" guacamole, which was a textbook case of shrinkflation--a tiny, sample-sized portion that completely lacked seasoning. The drinks didn't fare much better, as the $9 Pepino Aqua Fresca was aggressively sweet, though my guest did enjoy her $18 mojito. As for the main event, the $22 Carnitas Tacos were remarkably bland, served on tortillas that felt chewy and cardboard-like. Altogether, the meal felt like a pricey, fast-casual imitation of Mexican food that simply didn't justify the cost. At these prices, the value just isn't there. You can get a Michelin-level meal at Holbox or authentic, flavorful gems at Sonoratown, Leo's, or Taco Social for a fraction of the cost. Save your money. Skip the ¡Jaime! name and hit your local truck or street stand instead.

    Chips and salsa + chili crunch guacamole
    Carina V.

    I'm a big fan of Ospi and Jemma, so naturally, I was excited to try Jaime. The restaurant is tastefully decorated (though not sure what the need was for, what looked to me like, AI artwork near the bathroom), and service was on point, but the food missed the mark. Salsa flight felt a bit bland. Guac could've used a bit more lime for brightness, and the chili crunch topping wasn't chili-y or very crunchy. My shrimp gobernador tacos were the most disappointing dish of the night. Shrimp was minuscule and translucent. I thought the shrimp would be bigger and have some char from cooking or more flavor. Cheese skirt didn't really contribute much. Pico de gallo and other accoutrements were also under seasoned. I'm a bit let down but would consider coming back to try some of the other meat entrees or the breakfast burrito.

    A chicken and a shrimp taco. Bland.
    Ari R.

    Well darn. Jame, their Italian spot is one of my favorite restaurants ever. So I was excited to try Jaime! First off, kind of bummed that it wasn't fast casual. I wish it was the kind of place you could just grab a coffee and a pastry in the morning and a taco for lunch without sitting down and ordering. I sat at the bar and ordered. It was lovely but also felt backward during the day. I ordered two tacos, the chicken and the shrimp... which came with refried beans. Honestly, if I had my eyes closed I would not have been able to tell which taco was which. They tasted extremely similar. Even the cool, burnt cheese disc on the shrimp taco was extremely bland. Not sure what they're doing wrong here but they are doing something wrong. Bland city. Unfortunately, I will never go back. They really should just stick to Italian.

    Birria Breakfast Burrito
    Russ L.

    I had the Birria Breakfast Burrito - Cheese crusted tortilla, tater tots, scrambled eggs, artisan cheese, avocado, queso fresco. It comes with consome and cilantro crema sauce. Birria was lumpy and lacking flavor. Consome was rich and the Cilantro Crema was light. I liked the burrito but it wasn't spectacular, maybe a mid average. For the price, I expect to be loaded. The service was also average.

    Amazing food and service. I enjoyed dining on their patio. We went for brunch. I had the ricotta pancakes. Everyone else enjoyed their meals too. The favorite was the pozole

    Monica R.

    Indeed 4.5! The place is really nice, upper casual, the service is very friendly, nice and dog friendly! They are very friendly with them, bringing water. The food is is tasty, delicious. I loved the type of tortillas, really different of other restaurants. Just I like guacamole with comino, onion and tomato. They have parking lot. Nice to pick someone at the airport, or taking time to the next flight. We did that with our friend, after picked her up.

    Carnitas Breakfast Burrito
    Kristen K.

    I've tried at least 5-10 breakfast burritos in the South Bay and recently got to try two from ¡Jaime! Taqueria this past week. I can confidently say they were some of the best breakfast burritos I've had all year and they don't break the bank. I do enjoy the Baran's breakfast burrito from Tigres Fuego, but it's definitely not as economical and you can't customize the burritos. I feel like Jaime Taqueria's breakfast burritos standout for a couple reasons - avocado in every burrito, a generous portion of meat, and $12-15 price points. I've only been once, but I definitely will keep coming back even though it's a little farther from me. Ordering and pickup was a breeze too through the online Toast app. Breakfast burritos: - Birria breakfast burrito - both burritos were packed with a lot of meat, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The birria was flavorful and pretty soft as well, sometimes birria meat can be tough but I heard they use the beef cheek. The eggs in these burritos are heavenly - a soft-scramble with so much flavor. I also love how they grill the cheese on the outside too. - Carnitas breakfast burrito - Carnitas was similarly delicious. The meat was tender and flavorful. I can't decide which one I like better, but I am partial to carnitas in general. They do a great job of packing the burrito so you get a little bit of everything in each bite instead of having one ingredient stuck on one side. Salsas: - Cilantro Crema - I watched a video and heard this one was the best sauce. It definitely did not disappoint! A good kick but also very creamy. Went very well with the burritos. - Chipotle Aioli - this one was a little underwhelming. it didn't have much flavor overall, just creamy. Overall, the breakfast burritos here blew my mind! I only tried takeout, so I might need to sit down for breakfast in person to get the full experience. There are also two more types of breakfast burritos I want to try as well - the filet mignon and bacon! Looking forward to coming back here.

    This is the sister restaurant to Jame Enoteca, so I had to try its take on Mexican food! I really love this spot and its menu is so good! Everything on the menu is really great, but I'm partial to the breakfast burritos and the sweet corn tamales, which I get every time I'm there. Hands down, this is my favorite thing on the menu and such a must-try. If you pick anything to get at Jaime, get this. If you have a group and they love spicy stuff, highly recommend the Chef's Salsa bar so you can try all the spicy sauces with chips. Street parking isn't a problem and the servers are always wonderful! Such a joy to come down and eat here. Worth a visit to El Segundo!

    Sweet Corn Tamales
    Kat O.

    We came here for Sunday brunch. I had been wanting to try this place since it opened and we finally made it. We sat in the corner on the patio, shortly after noon and the sun was at the perfect angle. The glass windows help block the wind, while the plants protect from direct sun, creating this lovely atmosphere to sit and enjoy a great meal with great conversations. The hostess, and overall service, is exceptional. Very warm, inviting with great recommendations for food and beverages. We tried the Guacamole Maizena, sweet corn tamales, egg & cheese breakfast burrito, carnitas breakfast burrito and a Hangover bowl. Every item was plated in an appetizing manner and flavor that matched the presentation. This place is a wonderful addition to Main St and the restaurants in the area.

Of course, I kid, beer can be a wonderful thing, I just rather do cocktails and shots. So I went to Sugar Monkey Brewing because of a different pull: a power point slide show where friends pitch their single friends to strangers for a chance at love or romp. So I went in not knowing much of Sugar Monkey Brewing and I left with clear understanding that this place is an industrial beer oasis near the beach. The contrast of sand and blue on the horizon and the present aluminum lining made me feel like I was seeing a new uncommon mixture that proved that clashing environments can gel to delight. I found parking easily. It was a Saturday early evening, and about a 5 minute walk was where I discovered my spot. I honestly hated that I had to walk those 5 minutes but the walk uplifted my spirits for the weather was California crisp and the air and sky and atmosphere felt safe and proper. I wondered if i had the right place? The streets looked like too industrial. Like I had gone to one of those places that had a lot of factories in rows, but not much else. But I turned a corner and there was Sugar Monkey. Then I realized that a brewery would probably look like a beer factory so this place, with all its steel and pumps, had found its home amongst beach skies. As I walked back to my car, later that evening, I was in slight awe at the pale light blue and orange sky. It was serene, and vast and somehow beach appropriate. The water tower iin a picture I took was a nice touch as it reminded me of the Animaniacs, especially Wakko and Dot. I arrived after the first presentation was on its way. I started to listen intently to understand the dynamics because this all seemed so weird yet plausible. Like a dating auction turned fun not hokey or corny? The person was hyping up her friend J. Apparently, he spoke many languages, and hiked and did all these other stuff that were meant to induce attractions. Then she asked, What can he do? And she then explained how she was going to make a joke and that no one needed to fear going to hell if they laughed. And she then reveal that the thing he can't do is SEE because he was blind. The joke was in good taste. The joke, at least to me, carried disability pride. She had revealed that he was different because his sight was different to a crowd of would be judges and suitors. The strength of the duo was refreshing, dare I say, more than the beach breeze. Being witness to this moment made me feel like I had seen a beautiful moment and one I never imagine I would see. And for this reason alone, my trip to Sugar Monkey was more than fun, it was heart-opening. The place itself is cool. Their outside was a huge garden like setting. The place had pool, however, the patio is crowded so I am not sure how people can play if too many people are there. Another thing I saw- that is a credit to this place- is that it had a wheelchair elevator. So if someone was chilling in the patio and wanted to chill in their wooded floor area- where the bar was they could use the wheelchair lift, if they could not use their legs. The place had also had kind of like an off-beat personality. It had a British phone, an astronaut that seemed to have hit a space that painted him with grafitti flare, and beers with names like green means go. I think I would go to this place again, for the beer and the air and to Karaoke. I loved this place and the activity it hosted!
