We just had the best happy hour at Jaime! Johnny took care of us and everyone else there was just as friendly and attentive as him. The Fiery Margherita was delicious. We are vegetarians and we're very pleased with the options at happy hour. We will return for dinner soon because it was that good. The space itself is very stylish and comfortable. Thank you! read more

The breakfast burrito is amazing! The service and staff is quick and very friendly! Super easy stop in the morning with self ordering and a beautiful front cozy seating area. read more

We made a reservation in advance to enjoy a few margaritas and catch up with some friends. We were greeted at the door and seated fairly promptly. Service was appropriately timed, as we were busy chatting and were slow to look over the menu. Margaritas were nicely mixed over ice and definitely had that upscale cocktail bar feel. The watermelon marg had a super thin slice of watermelon and was just beautiful. The bar and dining areas were all full with a lively atmosphere. We ordered the guac trio for the table, which is nice to share along with our chips and salsa. I also wanted to try the rockfish ceviche, which was flavorful and nicely seasoned as well. Tacos are a little bigger than traditional street taco size, with elevated components. Everyone in our party was happy with their choices. Definitely a fun place and a great addition to the El Segundo Main Street dining scene. read more

Almost perfect little neighborhood gem. visited here for the first time during their soft opening about a week or 2 in. Highlights. Interior is cozy, warm and inviting. Service: prompt and welcoming. Food: 4/5 .. But I think it's because they're dialing in their process w staff and ingredients. One of my sides (kale salad was delicious but a little too heavy on what seemed like a mayo type dressing.. I know that's not good if you're sensitive to seed oils. But the tacos were delicious and hearty. Esquire was delicious and their Kampachi was nice and cool like I like it. Full of flavor too. The decor is kinda funny .. My gf and I chuckled after pointing out that the owner must be into boobs cause they're everywhere lol. Colorful and eye catching nonetheless I live in the area, so we hope to be back to see how our experience is next time. read more

¡Jaime! Taqueria - First try .. hopefully not our last - Mexican Near Me - El Segundo, California

We came here for lunch I got the filet mignon, birria and fish taco. My wife got the shrimp and carnitas tacos. We also split some guacamole. The food was okay. Overall it was very bland for Mexican food like not even not spicy more like did they forget salt? Huge bummer being in SoCal where you can get such amazing Mexican food and having such a bland experience from a well known chefs restaurant. Even the salsa was bland lol. Also my filet mignon taco had a burnt taste to it. The fig taco was great. The service was good and the ambiance was alright. Maybe the drinks make up for the food but for $80 we will be going somewhere else in the future. I hope these folks can spice things up and keep the doors open. read more

I have been wanting to try this place since going to Jame down the road a few months ago and having such a good experience. We came on a Friday evening and got a table right away even though it was busy, which was nice. The waitress was super friendly and helpful! We got a couple drinks, margaritas were all so good, and the michelada was good but had way too much juice compared to beer. You have to pay for chips and salsa which is odd, but we wanted it so we got that and guacamole. Thankfully they did give refills of the chips and salsa. We got ceviche which was $25 and came with only 5 shrimp!!! INSANE! Would not get again. It was good, but not good enough for the price to food ratio. We got a couple tacos and they were okay, not bad, but not the best. The star of the show was definitely the ribeye!!! The melty cheese and pico de gallo on top was amazing, and it came with tortillas to make steak tacos. The only thing I would say was the cheese was quite difficult to get off of the cast iron, we had to scrape it off with a knife. Overall we had a pleasant experience and would maybe come back for happy hour drinks or the steak. Our meal ended up being the same price as Jame, but Jame was definitely the better restaurant. read more

¡Jaime! Taqueria - Carnitas breakfast burritos with habanero salsa - Mexican Near Me - El Segundo, California

I really wanted to love this place since I'm such a fan of Ospi and Jame Enoteca, but it just didn't quite hit the mark for me. To be fair, I visited on their second night of opening, so some hiccups are expected. The space itself is stunning--beautiful building and aesthetic, and I love the concept of the menu. That said, the flavors were underwhelming. Most dishes needed more seasoning, and overall, things felt a bit bland. The Paloma was watery, though I will say the Oaxacan Old Fashioned was one of the best I've had in LA. The tacos were good, but for the price, I expected more--some complimentary house chips or a variety of salsas would've gone a long way. I enjoyed the Kanpachi ceviche, but oddly, it didn't come with chips (only the guac did). Parking can be tricky since there's no dedicated lot, but there's usually street or neighborhood parking nearby in El Segundo. The staff was friendly and welcoming, though there are still some service and timing kinks to work out. Overall, I see the potential and hope things tighten up with time. Remember to make a reservation! We had patio seating which had a nice ambiance and there are space heaters so you don't be afraid of the weather :) read more

Just finished celebrating my middle daughter and my bday (same date!), and wow- staff was awesome! Had a party of 7 including kids, and they were super accomodating, and made us feel special! And of course the food is ALWAYS good! (Also best chips in my opinion) Very grateful for the Happy Hour prices as well! read more

My girlfriend took me here for dinner. It was really great. We got the chips and salsa, regular guacamole, I had a beef cheek taco and a fish taco. Both were delicious and I look forward to having them again! I love the blue homemade tortillas. Such a nice touch. We also have the regular margarita with a little bit of passionfruit juice and I had a sugar post to assault rib. Ugly recommend! It really was a nice tasty treat. Service was great. The ambience was great. Definitely looking forward to going back. read more

I wish I could say Jaime Taqueria was better because I love Jame Enoteca but it's just not. The space is pretty but the food is pretty meh and we even went on Taco Tuesday when the tacos were cheap but I feel like I can make better tacos myself. read more

I was excited to try this place, unfortunately probably won't be back. Even though staff was nice and informed, handled things well. Food didn't stack up. First asked for chips and salsa, chips not warm and just kinda bland. But just chips. Salsa so flavorless I could have poured it in my water and the water would have probably been an improvement, asked for a different salsa got a red smoky one. Unfortunately it was bland yes can taste some smoke but not much else. On to main course I ordered Carnitas and Pastor tacos. The carnitas taco was great, flavor was great, wasn't dry hand was dripping with juice! The pastor taco I guess is a vegetarian taco, cause all it had was mushrooms and pastor flavorings, couldn't see, find, or taste and meat at all. No the sides. The beans were a purée, no texture, not much flavor, and room temp. The rice was really good, I liked the little crunch they had. Now the absolute best thing I had was the corn!! Omg it's fantastic. Flavorful, sweet, just everything you could want and more from corn. My margarita was pretty good too, however for 20.00 it's should be more than a glass full of ice, Also they don't do taco al a cart so wasn't going to spend over 22.00 to try another 2 tacos. So unfortunately do to the lack of flavor and the prices, I gave it a shot but I just feel hungry and my pocket was emptied. read more

My new favorite place, can't wait to go back! Didn't take any pictures but I assure you the food was great and the service was perfection. Thank you Dino! read more

My husband and I tried for the first time is not really a taqueria! You will enjoy really good gourmet california mexican food! We are mexican we live two blocks from the restaurant my husband has worked for Nicolas Cage and he knows of a good meal he's grade to Jamie taqueria is a 9 I love the drinks and also the good service from Dino! read more

I am giving this place 2 stars. Although, the service was good and the decor was nice, this was probably the worst Mexican food and drinks I have ever had. There is absolutely nothing authentic about this place and none of the dishes I had were memorable. For the record, I tried the guac trio and the birria tacos. read more

Wow! Just so delicious all around, I'm so impressed! The margs (watermelon was my fave), local craft beer for my husband, apps, and tacos were all amazing! Not to mention the hospitality from the manager Hillary and our server who was wonderful as well! The decor is so cute - the pink chairs especially and I love having the option for indoors or patio dining! What a gem! But let's go back to the food, tacos are so flavorful and big! The guacamole's are all incredible, order the trio to get the full experience! On top of that fresh perfectly salted chips are a no brainer when it comes to Mexican food and they nailed it! Can't wait to go back and try the bloody Maria cart on the brunch menu! Definitely recommend this place! read more

I never write reviews, but this is literally the best Mexican food I've ever had! I devoured the chicken achiote taco before I could take a photo. The atmosphere reminds me of a laid back beautiful Puerto Vallarta beach bar, while the cuisine easily rivals the finest Mexican restaurants in presentation, flavor, and originality. Randy is a top class bartender and made me feel like a regular on my first visit. This place should have a line out the door but it seems to be a local secret for now. Do yourself a favor and check this place out! read more

Ordered the Birria and Carnitas breakfast burritos for takeout as I heard rave reviews. Honestly they were just ok - they were cold (cheese wasn't melted at all), were a bit bland, lacking in actual protein and other fillings besides egg, and kind of small. Additionally, there were no tater tots inside (see previous note about lacking in fillings) which was odd because we didn't have any modifications to the order (ordered as-is). I literally watched an IG post with the head chef touting how every bite should have a tater tot in it. Had high hopes and was underwhelmed by these overpriced, bland, underfilled burritos. read more

We held my 40th birthday brunch here with about 30 people. The staff was incredible, taking extra time to go over food allergies delivered the food in a timely manner and even though it was for so many people. Everyone was so impressed with the food and atmosphere! I have a lot of favorites on the menu but their standouts for me are definitely the taquitos and flautas. My husband's favorite is the filet mignon tacos read more

The guacamole was fantastic! Great service and venue. We also got the filet tacos and they we're the best I've ever had

I love the appetizers more than the tacos. Everything on the menu is good. Service is great. The restaurant is spacious. I like both the indoor and outdoor seatings. The only thing that can be improved is the dessert menu. read more

Lunch had a special for 2 tacos and a margarita. Beef taco was very good. Would like to come back for Happy Hour

This restaurant recently opened up in my neighborhood and my husband and I stopped by there one Saturday afternoon for a late lunch. The ambience is lovely and we were seated in the very back. We ordered the chips and all the salsas, esquite, beans to share. I ordered the chicken tacos as my entree and Chris got the carnitas tacos. Everything was delicious. The beans were creamy and smooth and exactly what you're looking for. I think we tried all the different salsas; each tasted unique in its own special way. The hostess was very friendly and kind and so was our waitress, although I hate to say she kind of disappeared after she took our food order. In any regards, the other staff in attendance were attentive. I will be back to try the other menu items! read more

Great ambiance and excellent service; a must-try experience. Definitely recommend the chilaquiles and tacos!

Hola! Jaime Taqueria is an awesome addition to the main drag of El Segundo. First of all, they rescued a tired old restaurant and transformed it into a beautiful, comfortable dining environment that is welcoming and quiet. The service was excellent. Attentive to our comfort at all times. The food is outstanding. The guacamole was freshly prepared and was mostly avocado. The chips were fresh, crispy and perfectly salted. The queso was next level with crispy edges and lots of chorizo. The kale salad was perfectly prepared - appropriate dressing ratio and well seasoned. The chilaquiles were best in class - crispy until the last bite! Much appreciate the over easy egg substitute for scrambled. The focus here is on cocktails. There is not much of a wine list, but the anonymous glass of rose wine that I had was tasty. I will definitely be returning to try more of the menu. Great service, great meal and great room. read more

Got a birria breakfast burrito to go and the whole meat portion of it was all fat. Clearly knew that when they made it but didn't care. Can't feel good about spending $15 for no meat and overcooked eggs. Not worth the hype and would not go back. read more

I really wanted to like this place because it's so close to my brothers house and we loved Tapizon but it really just missed the mark. Our waitress was really sweet and talked all of our concerns about spicy food out to make sure we ordered things we would like. Off the happy hour menu, we got the Maize guacamole, sweet potato taco, and beef cheek quesabirria. We also ordered the mushroom pastor tacos. I'm really not sure what they put on the mushroom tacos but they had an odd flavor that made them hard to eat. The quesabirria wasn't like any I've ever had before, it just had a flat piece of cooked cheese on it and was missing the abundance of cheese you normally see with a quesabirria. The meat itself had an odd texture and very little flavor. The sweet potato taco was the star of the show, but the lack of attention to detail by the kitchen was obvious as the tortilla came out ripped almost fully in half so we ate it with a fork and knife. The tortillas are all delicious and homemade. The guacamole was solid, but I wouldn't pay regular price for the small portion as it wasn't anything special to write home about. The restaurant itself is mostly decorated beautifully but has some random posters that confuse the vibe. Are we doing upscale Cáli-mex or tequila bar? Choosing one and sticking to it would be helpful. Super bummed because the staff were very nice and the location is awesome but the food needs a lot of work at those prices. Definitely glad we checked it out at happy hour and not full price and didn't order beverages. read more

We will not go back to Jamie Taqueria. Why? We had been there twice before and even though it's a bit pricey, we enjoyed the food we ordered each time. However tonight, we went for an early dinner to take advantage of the happy hour food prices. We arrived at 425 pm, were directed to our seats by the bartender, who by the way, appeared to be the only person doing any work in the entire establishment. Then we were given menus by the hostess. She said she'd be back with water and a waiter zoomed past us. No other customers were there. We waited 10+ minutes and no one came back to us; no water, no one took our order, nothing. Again, no other customers were there. There were at least two additional staffers in the kitchen and at least one other waiter. At 4:35 or so, we left. When we left, we told the bartender, "No one came to take our order." He looked perplexed. As we continued to exit the premises, I saw one staffer texting on his cell in the doorway of the kitchen. And the real kicker; the hostess was sitting down and with at least two waiters who were standing, all having fun and in a conversation in another room near the entry door. When we left, I looked at them and said, "None of you came back to take our order." The male waiter said, "Oh, let's take care of you now." And I responded, "Its too late." For several weeks, I've been wondering why this place is empty every time I pass it. When they first opened, it was often crowded. I think I got my answer tonight; poor service. There is no excuse for this behavior. read more

Recently opened for breakfast- and have to say it's my new fave in town for breakfast and brunch. I like that they open at 8am, which is super convenient and offers another option on Main St, right across from Kreation juicery. Ordered the filet mignon breakfast burrito which was absolutely divine. Steak was perfectly seasoned and prepared medium (with a few slightly med rare pieces which I absolutely LOVED!). Tortilla prepared with burnt cheese on outside giving it a satisfying texture and richness. Frites inside were a nice touch, fluffy eggs. Just perfect all the way around. Service was excellent and enjoyed a lovely table on the patio with just the right amount of sun to create a relaxing and enjoyable experience. Mimosa was also wonderful with splash of fresh orange juice. I like their breakfast/ brunch better than dinner because I found the value to be better and the ambience was more relaxing. read more

¡Jaime! Taqueria - Filet Mignon Breakfast Burrito or Tacos - Mexican Near Me - El Segundo, California

No reservation needed for a party of 3 for lunch on a Monday. Cute, modern indoor/outdoor space. Highlights include: bright tomatillo salsa on the taquitos that didn't wreck the roof of my mouth, tasty maitake al pastor tacos with toasted quinoa for that textural hit, and refreshing (and stiff) margaritas. Their tres leches cake compares favorably to many options from Hawthorne and Gardena. Like many others, I love a good food truck or street stall taco. ¡Jaime! isn't that, but it's great. Blue corn tortillas and crispy griddled slices of cheese? C'mon. We'll be back! read more

We went to Jaime last night to give it a try since we love Jame. Jaime did NOT disappoint and the prices were affordable. They have daily happy hour so the drinks were reasonable priced. There is a short menu for kids which was great for our son. He is a super picky eater and he ate the entire chicken taco. We got the salsa sampler and I'm usually not a fan of mild salsa, but I would run through traffic for theirs. Hubs and I split the skirt steak and it was delicious. Our server was fantastic! We will definitely be back! read more

Nice to have great service AND great food at the same time, herd about this from a friend and it did not disappoint, we stopped here on a Sunday afternoon on the way to LAX, glad we did, drinks were on point as well, will make the venture back soon read more

Ambience was great, drinks are great, service was excellent. The food could use some work. There was a lack of flavor in a few of the dishes we ordered. The Pozole in particular could be served with more broth, it came with very little broth so we asked for more. It was also missing something to really give it that flavorful factor. Transparently the filet mignon taco was not good. It had zero flavor and not a great after taste. All in all we will be back, but hoping there will be more attention to detail when it comes to the flavoring and portions of the food. read more

I went for happy hour/dinner tonight with three of my friends. The service was fantastic. The cocktails were so good and strong. The crunchy guacamole is next level. I loved the corn and the chips with the different types of salsa! But the sweet potato taco was my favorite. Don't forget the end with the vanilla sundae. I am so full and so happy. I will definitely return. It's also such a cute date night spot. Loved the decor read more

Really good artisan tacos and scratch margs. Comfortable seating. Walked in here randomly and lucked out. Camilo was excellent.

Brand New Mexican place in El Segundo and I had to come check it out. It's new and they are still figuring out some things. We started with the shrimp ceviche which was full of flavor, probably one of my favorites things we ordered. The queso fundido wasn't great, had lots of grease just sitting on top and very salty. The steak tacos was good and it was very filling. Their spicy margarita was a bit too sweet for my liking but good overall. My friend had the ribeye and she was very disappointed with it. And of course we ended dinner with the tres leches which was delicious. Overall it was okay and hopefully they can figure out a few more things. read more

One of those places that you think is pretty good, but not sure if you would go back. Got the filet tacos which were pretty good. But not a fan of the crispy cheese. The beans were so so. Didn't care for the rice that much, they have these crunchy corn bits in the rice, which seems like you're eating rice that is dried out from sitting around all day. The corn was pretty good. So I leave with an undecided review. read more
