So happy we found this place on our way to LA. We needed a quick lunch spot with a drive-thru at the start of our road trip, so we checked Yelp. Jalisco Taqueria was close enough to the freeway, and the drive-thru made it an easy choice. I ordered the asada torta with everything on it. The flavor was 10/10, but the presentation was more like a 5/10. The only reason this isn't a perfect 5-star review is because the torta bread was a little soggy and falling apart. I think that's somewhat normal with this type of bread, but it might be worth looking into other options. I added the green salsa, which paired perfectly with all the flavors. My husband ordered five tacos de asada with only the red salsa, and he loved them. The flavors were spot on. We will definitely be back when we're in the area again. read more

Definitely have had better tacos and flavors. I wasn't wowed with their food. Salsa bar was lacking and only had two sauces to choose from. Had to also pay for chips and salsa, but they were not fresh, and were not good. Staff were nice though, and inside could use a cleaning. read more

Whenever I'm craving nachos, this is my go to place. We always use the drive thru for convenience. I haven't tried anything else off their menu except this. Fully loaded carne asada nachos and the melted cheese makes it so good. Prices are reasonable. Service is quick even with the long drive thru lines they have most of the time. read more

I literally never leave reviews but am extremely disappointed in the food ! Second and last time getting a burrito here . Asada burrito with NOTHING BUT RICE ! Full of rice , I maybe had three slivers of burnt meat ! I had the same situation last time , so this time I PAID EXTRA FOR EXTRA MEAT. !!!!! And this is the garbage I get ! Only order a burrito from here if you don't like meat ! read more

Jalisco Taqueria - Burrito full of rice only! - Mexican Near Me - San Jose, California

This was the late night go to spot in the East Side for burritos for me and my friends back in the day. Glad I was able to come back recently to revisit one of my favorite Mexican spots growing up. We arrived for an early Friday dinner. The restaurant is located in an older plaza off King and Story road close to Rancho Del Pueblo Golf Course. Parking is accessible in the small parking lot. Jalisco Taqueria looks like they got a nice exterior renovation. Unfortunately we didn't order inside but instead ordered from the convenient drive thru. We ordered a large supreme carnitas burrito with everything except no beans and a carnitas taco with everything. The staff was friendly and accommodating. My burrito tastes just like what I remembered what it last tasted like, so delicious, juicy, and fulfilling. The meat was flavorful and tender. The sour cream, avocado, cilantro, and rice all went very well together with the meat. Overall we enjoyed our experience at Jalisco Taqueria. This restaurant brought back nostalgia and great memories. Glad I was able to come back again. My son has golf classes next door at Rancho so we will definitely be back. read more

Yummmmm good classic burrito, got it w the pollo asado. Fri thru was easy, they started in Spanish but then easily switch to English for me. Horchata was great too!! read more

I haven't had Jalisco's in years and was a little nervous because of some of the reviews but I can't lie it's still fire. Had a carne asada burrito with everything. Nice seasoning on the carne asada in the burrito and the perfect balance of ingredients. I got the red salsa which was good but I didn't need much. Also had the al pastor tacos which were also very good and flavorful they know how to season lol. Lots of cilantro and pineapple but I'm not complaining. Long line in the drive thru but it moved fast. You can dine in as well but I've never been inside. I did see people dining in, it looked like a standard taqueria vibe nothing fancy. I think the best part of Jalisco is that it's one of only a few drive thru taquerias in San Jose. read more

I was in the mood for Mexican food after one of my favorite spots was closed, so we decided to give this place a try after years of not coming here. Let me just say, I definitely won't be coming back. The food was whatever, honestly nothing exciting, just bland and lacking flavor. I ordered the al pastor fries and was really disappointed the al pastor itself just wasn't good. I also got a carne asada sope, which ended up being the highlight of the meal. The meat was a bit dry, but overall it was pretty decent. We also tried the carnitas sope, which was pretty good, but the asada tacos were bland and way overcooked. On the positive side, the service was great shoutout to the guy taking our order, super friendly and chill. We dined in, but the place looks very old and kind of dirty. Overall, based on my preferences and taste, this isn't a spot I'll be returning to. read more

This place has been around for years. There must be a reason for that!?!? We stop by here whenever in town & we have a chance. The asada tacos, fresh salsa, and other food is great. It's very clean inside and the service is nice. We also had a burrito. This place hit the spot, and the prices aren't too bad. read more

Their large burrito supreme got shrunk? It's like the size as their old medium but w the large prize? When did this happen? & their carne just not marinated like it used to be and it's either grizzly fatty or it's burnt to charcoal nothing in between these days it seems. It's very Irish blue average for $15/16 read more

I love these tacos! I ordered the Al Pastor tacos and they came with mangoes, which is a nice & sweet addition! There are some benches inside the restaurant where you can sit & eat. You order with the cashier in the front in the service was around 10-15 minutes. read more

Jaliscos will always have my heart with them their staff and service always being on point. The food has in my opinion lacked in quality and increased in price massively over the years which disappoints many of its patrons. This spot is great for late nights as it has a drive through on weekends but if you do go inside the environment is always comfortable and welcoming. read more

Considered to be a staple to many, this particular taqueria has a a drive-thru which helps the flow of traffic. Our go to order for the most part is a carne asada supreme burrito & Carne asada tacos. There's times when we've gone && the food is absolutely delicious && then there's times where it's flat. Service is mediocre even when ordering through the drive-tru! All in all a great option for those late night cravings! read more

I love quesadillas con lengua and this place has them. They were great. I'll be back. I went inside and service was fast and friendly. There is a drive through but line was long. And I'd rather go inside. Plenty of seats and good lighting inside. Plenty of parking spots. read more

On several occasions I have had Jalisco Taqueria. Delicious savory flavors of taco meat of your choice. My dine is very satisfying as area is kept well maintained employees nicely spoken and attentive to my needs of ordering request. Horchata is as well very well made and tasteful to every sip. Definitely my favorite. I had travel here alone not being accompanied of any other person. read more

Went in the other day and this place smelled like straight fart or sewer... one of my favorite taquerias when I go down to sj before! But Im not going again until the fix the smell!!!! read more

I've been coming here for a few years now, sometimes I have nights that I just crave their tacos. Something about the carne asada that is so good. I've had other plates but not really of fan of them so I stick to the tacos. We ordered 20 tacos on a Friday night and didn't have to wait too long, we were given a good amount of salsa and sides. This is a spot I will continue to come to. read more

This used to be one of the best taquerias growing up, my parents would always take us through the drive through at night for burritos and I introduced my friends to this place in high school. However, over the years I feel the sizing has gotten smaller while prices gone up. But the food is still good! Friendly staff, can be long drive throughs but I think it goes by at a decent pace. read more

I haven't been here for a good while, was so exited to be in town and to come eat tacos. To my surprise the tacos tasted so different and the salsa too. They were so good back then that we would come and eat here for the tacos all the time but the tacos didn't taste the same and was so dry. The meat had no flavor either and the salsa tasted bland as well now. Idk what happen but we won't be coming here anymore. Heading back home being unsatisfied on what we ate read more

Trash!!!!! Chicken super burrito with no chicken! Just tons of beans and rice. Lol.............

The food used to be really tasty back in the day when it was a hole in the wall! The quality since then has gone way down. The service isn't great anymore either. The order always has something wrong and they never apologize for messing up. I would still go for the tacos de asada because the flavor is okay, but not the best, super low quality meat. I don't know what happened to their burritos because the meat to rice ratio is depressing. You're basically paying for just a rice burrito, and the flavor is no bueno. Their salsa doesn't taste good either , the recipe definitely didn't get passed down from 15 years ago. I remember when it was remodeled, I was so excited because the restaurant inside is clean and spacious. It seemed like a great spot to chill with the family but the food doesn't keep me coming back, such a shame! read more

I ordered 2 rice, bean, and cheese burritos, and the cheese was definitely spoiled -- slimy with a strange sweet then bitter taste. I've always enjoyed the food here and recommend it often, so this was really disappointing. I paid a lot for the meal, and by the time I got to the burritos, it ruined the experience. I don't want to come back just to show the cheese, but I've included a photo. I'd appreciate some kind of compensation. read more

Jalisco Taqueria - Super burrito (no salsa) - Mexican Near Me - San Jose, California

Came here to pick up a large group order. They got everything, but didn't label anything. Would've been hard to tell whose was whose if I hadn't asked them to label everything. The food was okay, nothing to write home about. I had a shrimp burrito. Shrimp was a touch overcooked and there wasn't a whole lot of shrimp in my burrito. The salsa was on the watery side and a bit bland for me. Portion sizes were small for what you paid. Service was good though. The woman who helped me label the food was really sweet and patient as she helped me figure out what was what and gave us a boatload of salsas and limes. I might go back if I was in a pinch, but I mean... it's Eastside. There's a lot of good food here, especially if you want a shrimp burrito. read more

I enjoy this taqueria when I don't feel like getting out the car. The cool part about this taqueria is that they have a drive thru. And even though it's a drive in/dine in location. It is still pretty authentic. I normally get the carne asada tacos with salsa on the side. Or a burrito de carne asada with salsa on the side. I like the taste of the meat because it has the grilled taste. I've also gotten the ceviche tostadas and it's pretty good as well! I haven't had a bad experience here! Parking can be a little tight especially when the drive through line gets a little busy. When it's busy on the drive through I recommend just going in. They're super quick instead of waiting in that line. read more

Do I recommend....what type of question is that? Of course I recommend Jalisco. It's been one of my favorite places since BACK IN THE DAY when it was a little itty bitty shack. Their burritos have always been solid and recently I had a quesadilla which was oozing with cheese, topped with crema and avocados! Delicious. read more

Never disappointed by the food here, good portions and good service. Also their horchata is actually good

La cantidad de carne para el precio es una burlap. This place is NOT what it used to be, I could go to another place and have my tacos with more meat for about the same or less money. read more
