The place is sort of divey but clean. The lady who took our order at the counter wasn't too friendly . The tacos dinners came out fast but were sorta small for what we paid. . I will say the Birria tacos were very good . Beans and rice were small portions but were ok . read more

I am back years later just to confirm how essential this spot is. We went on some last minute plans shopping for gifts when I remembered my green chile tamales (I'm from southern CA btw). The husband called me to say he saw a pop up tent in the area and lo and behold it was Josefina's. They had ONE green chile tamale left and Christmas magic happened for me yet another year. Thank you!!! The chicken tamales were our other purchase and the masa was flavorful yet again. read more

Josefina's Taqueria - Quesabirria taco plate - Mexican Near Me - Yreka, California

We were driving down Highway five from Oregon to California and stopped in Yreka for a bite to eat because Josefina's Taqueria got good reviews on Yelp. Well, we drove right past it because it is a tiny little restaurant (look for the bright yellow paint!). It was worth going around the block and doubling back. I had a taco salad and my husband had chicken tacos, along with the Horchata and mandarin Mexican soda. Nice and clean. We would come back read more

Food was great! I had a quesabirria taco and a vampiro taco. Good size portions and flavorful. Service was good. Cute little restaurant, clean and inviting. read more

Holy Moly were those Tacos good. The Pastor! WOW!!!!! The regular tacos are great as well as the specialty ones. Cannot wait to go back.

My bf and I were in Yreka for a work trip and being Hispanic, we definitely knew we'd want Mexican food at some point. After searching up Mexican restaurants in the area, Josefina's Taqueria without a doubt seemed like the best option as their food looked the most authentic. Upon entering the restaurant, we were greeted by a nice gentleman who was also Hispanic so that definitely made us feel mode relieved lol. You will also immediately notice how clean, colorful, calm and homey it feels inside. Bathrooms were nice as well! The menu was fairly small but it had the usual Mexican staple dishes you'd want! We ate here twice, the first time we ordered burritos and on our second visit we had the asada fries, vampiros and a crunchy taco. All the dishes we had were so delicious. I LOVED the asada fries the most though, the fries were skinny and the right amount of crispy and all the toppings just came together so well. I'm from the Bay Area so carne asada fries and burritos are hard to beat out here but these fries definitely beat all the ones I've ever had! I look forward to coming to Yreka again just to visit Josefina's taqueria! read more

This taqueria is incredible! Hands down the best Mexican food I've had outside of mx, and quite possibly the best I've ever had. We got the vampiro (chicken), taco (carnitas), quesabirria, and burrito (carne asada). All were piled high with schmeat and had huge flavor. Highly recommend, do not miss out on this place. read more

Josefina's Taqueria - Bomb ass food! Lengua was specially delicious. - Mexican Near Me - Yreka, California

Tried this while passing through town. Definitely an upgrade to Taco Bell, but you pay for it. The one less star is because, given the price, they should include chips and salsa and water but they charge for it. Food was very yummy. My wife and I split the califries with carnitas. My son had the alpastor burrito and my daughter had a been and rice burrito. Everyone was happy with the food and the quantity. Service was friendly and fast. Location was convenient off the freeway. Clean and cute place. read more

This place is truly MMMMMM-AZING!! I saw the food and just wanted to eat it, I forgot to take a picture.... But I'm probably going back tomorrow ‍ read more

So I can never get into the restaurant since it doesn't work with my work hours. But I bought some tamales off their food truck. They were great! Highly recommend. Went back for carne asada tacos today! Good food! read more

Amazing food and excellent service! Most definitely will be going back! Go there everytime im in town

Took my mom there who is a vegetarian and they didn't even offer enchiladas or chili rellenos. The restaurant itself leaves a lot to be desired. Needs a good face lift. Service was succinct and to the point. read more

The food, service, and Ambiance is some of the best I have seen in this town. They have amazing chips and salsa for $5. Would definitely go again read more

One of the best burritos I have ever had! Lots of meat and veggies added! My only knock is that they charge for ships and salsa, other than that perfection! read more

Thoroughly enjoyed the quesabirria tacos. A nice little find while passing through Yreka. Will definitely stop in again next time I'm driving up to Oregon! read more

Not much to look at from outside, but colorful once you enter. Authentic food that tasted great, and really nice people. I definitely recommend! I would have had a beer with my food if I hadn't been on duty. read more

Stopped by on my way home to Oregon from SoCal, and picked up some tacos (fish, lengue, al pastor). All were excellent, with generous tasty meats and a big helping of fresh greens and guac on top. Adorable little restaurant, too. Someone clearly loves this place. read more

Stopped on a very long drive--excellent burrito and quesadilla. Very friendly service. Thank you!!

Quesabirria or Birria tacos are really good! Need to go back and try more but from what I saw on other tables everything looked pretty amazing! There must be new owners in the last 2-3 years since my last visit because not the same at all! read more

The BOMB! I ordered 2 soles (al pastor & carne asada) and it was so yummy. $3 a piece and hit the spot! read more

This is a great little taqueria. I love the carnitas burrito. My wife and I had the fresh churros recently too. Very delicious.

Hit the spot after a long day of driving. Hubby had the beef burrito and gives it rave reviews. Large portion- but he managed to finish it ;-) I had the veggie bowl- nicely prepared. Seems like a well run family business. (Prices were very reasonable for a brick and motor restaurant, freshly made food). read more

Absolutely phenomenal food. Ordered the Vampiros con Pollo, one with pastor. So so so so so good. Very authentic. After chowing down 3 Vampiros, wife and I ordered the Quesabirria and a couple of churros. Absolutely worth every single penny and bite. So so so good would recommend to anyone and everyone. read more

Right about now you're really regretting the Seattle to Los Angeles road trip your best friend dragged you on. Sure it sounded like a great idea at the beginning, I mean who wouldn't want to get out of town and hit the open road? Turns out, you don't like road trips. They're long and boring. And worst of all the food is terrible. All you seem to eat is crappy gas station hot dogs. But then you roll into Yreka and on the side of the road you see the sign for a small Taqueria. You think to yourself "how bad could it be?" Well prepare to be blown away! The tacos are insanely good and packed to the gills! There are some reviews here that make it sound like you get nothing, those people are insane! My tacos we're pretty much bursting. The flavor is just phenomenal and the service is perfect! They also sell Vampiros, which are a special type of taco that is grilled...gives it an amazing crunch. My recommendation: get 3 beef tacos and 3 chicken Vampiros. Get a platter of tamales and wash if all down with their home made Aqua frescos. Thank me later. read more

I've been eating their chili relleno tamales for the last few years from the food truck in Mt. Shasta. During this time Lupe, the owner, shared his dream of eventually opening a brick and mortar location...the time has come. Stopped by this morning and had a taco-ish styled dish called "Vampiro." Served open face with the cheese melted directly onto a corn tortilla adding a great cheesy texture and crunchy base different then your traditional tacos. Tried the Pollo, the carnitas and the carne asada. Each was spot one. Served with cabbage, onion, cilantro, and guacamole. Topped off with a squeeze of lime and some homemade fire roasted salsa the care put into each dish makes for a great experience. This is family run business and a great addition to the culinary scene here in Siskiyou county. read more

Great food. Great service. Had the vampiro tacos, chille Relleno tamales, carne Asada burrito, and all were fantastic. The vampiro is lightly grilled so the taco is a little crispy, which makes for a tasty difference. That's it, I'm going today. read more

Tasty burritos Al Pastor - and they have Tamarindo Jarritos soda which is delicious. Very friendly staff and speedy service. Taqueria Ambiance is fine. read more

Great food and service. We would come back here next time we're in Yreka. Birria tacos were delicious.

Spouse and I were gunning it home from the Bay area and needed food and fuel. Not too much food. I don't eat a lot on long drives cause if I'm not burning it, I don't eat it. Still, there was a need so we pulled in and each grabbed two tacos. Friendly service and quick delivery. We looked at each other after the first bites, smiled, closed our eyes and nodded. Fresh tortillas, well-spiced chicken and al pastor. Good salsas. My new favorite taco place in Yreka. Check it out! read more

Amazing Cali fries haven't had them in a while but they are very filling and taste amazing

Located in Mt Shasta in the parking lot of Gold Room Saloon, this taco truck not only has friendly service but an incredible menu with quick service. Burritos and street tacos off the hook good. I highly recommend this unique eatery for a true Mexican food experience. Open for lunch too. read more

Trust and believe- best Mexican food in Yreka! Also their service is quick and friendly! Bomb.

TERRIBLE FOOD...No taste at all...I ordered veggie burrito, all there was beans and rice, very lit cabbage and onion. Veggie taste old... Burrito and 3 tacos cost $35, over price for terrible food. read more
