My go to is the 3/$12 Revuelta pupusas and the Plantains with the beans . Top tier beans and plantains. I am so glad I found this place. It is very close to my work. I do recommend calling in your order at least 30 minutes before so that it'll be ready for you to pick up. sometimes they do not answer their phone but they will give you a call back. Keep in mind they do not accept tap pay, but they do accept Zelle and Venmo if you need to make a mobile payment. It is small and cozy inside but there are at least 4 tables if you want to dine in. They do have a few tvs if you were there to relax while waiting or out with your family. Being new to the area, this place will definitely be my go to for pupusas.

It definitely makes me want to come back and try more of their menu!

Taco Jalisco has been one of my favorite places to get Mexican food in Vallejo for the past 20…read moreyears, so I figured it was finally time to give them a review! Over the years, I've watched this place go through a few upgrades. One of the biggest changes is the menu that used to be painted on the wall is now displayed on digital display. It looks pretty cool, although I do miss the old painted menu because it was part of what I remembered about this place. But with prices changing over the years, I can definitely understand why going digital makes more sense than having to repaint the wall every time something changes. Prices have gone up over the years too, but that's understandable. One thing that hasn't changed is the service. The staff has always been nice, welcoming, and hospitable. I've never had any problems with the customer service here. This time I ordered a super burrito and two street tacos. Taco Jalisco has always had some of my favorite carne asada. The steak is flavorful and honestly some of the best carne asada I've had in a Mexican dish. The street tacos were simple and good. Carne Asada and chicken with , cilantro, onions, and their hot sauce on top. And I have to mention their hot sauce! It has been one of my favorite things about Taco Jalisco for years. It adds so much flavor without taking away from the food. The super burrito was good too, although it was on the smaller side compared to super burritos I've gotten at other places. Still, the flavor was there. The seasoned steak, rice, and house sauce all blend together really well. Their rice especially seems to soak up some of that sauce, and when you get everything together in one bite, it makes for a really flavorful burrito. After 20 years, Taco Jalisco is still one of my favorite places in Vallejo to grab a burrito and some tacos. I wouldn't necessarily call it the best anymore, especially with so many other good Mexican spots around Vallejo now, but it will always be one of my favorites and a place I'll continue coming back to.

We gave it a shot because it was parked right inside the Fairgrounds for the Dinosaur Adventure event that went on last weekend. I should have yelped it first, but we went in blind, and now I regret it. We ordered 2 revuelta pupusas, the 3 taco plate, and the elote. First of all, their prices are insane. $7 for 1 pupusa? $15 for 3 tacos? $5 for elote kinda made sense but seriously, they didn't even execute that one right so still wasn't worth it. It seemed to be a one woman show, so I can excuse the wait time. Everyone knows pupusas can take about 15 min anyways so the wait didn't bother me. My elote was hot, but it barely had any cheese on it. All you could see was mayo, tajin, and a light sprinkle of cheese... I feel like the cheese is kinda what makes it so how are you gonna skimp on that. It was served on a plate, and then folded into foil so I guess that's nice but no. The cheese didn't just fall off on the plate, it just wasn't anywhere to be found :( The corn was sweet though, so I did enjoy it still but the elote mans would be ashamed to see how this one was served. The 3 taco plate only came with 1 salsa. Their mild is a green salsa that tasted like water. I had to ask for a spicy red one which just tasted like roasted pepper water/oil. I was not a fan. The chicken tacos were basically rotissierie chicken meat on a tortilla. No "asado" to be found anywhere. I'm an al pastor girly but this was the worst al pastor of my life. I didn't even finish it, it was that bad. The revueltas were the saving grace but even then.. they were mid. They were sooooo hot though, and had a decent amount of filling. The slaw paired with this was nice and tangy but again, the mild green salsa did nothing for the pupusa. I love when the cheese oozes out of pupusas and get all grilled up, nice and crispy. This pupusa wasn't giving all that lol It could have used a bit more salt/flavor but compared to everything else, it was good and the reason why I'm giving 2 stars. However, $7 for one pupusa is ridiculous. I understand inflation, but the food prices here do not match the food that is being served. The woman running the truck was nice though, so I do appreciate that and how hard she must be working if she's doing things alone. I just wouldn't ever come back.

They're tucked right in the corner of Miller and Springs Rd but they have a decently sized parking lot. They're only a truck so no bathrooms are available but they have clean outdoor seating. They also don't accept apple pay and you have to pay a small fee (0.50 cents) for using card, so def bring cash! Onto the food! My boyfriend and I ordered 4 Quesabirria tacos and shared 1 consomme, which came in a cute little coffee cup. The Quesabirria tacos are as good as I remember them to be as they were full of meat and super crispy. The consomme was my favorite part of the meal though! Keeping it in a coffee cup is actually super smart because it keeps it nice and hot. It is also fits the tacos perfectly! The consomme wasn't too salty and was full of meat! It tasted super nutritious and I honestly drank it after we finished our tacos! My only gripe with this place is that their menu doesn't have prices for most of their stuff, but our total came out to be $23 which isn't bad for a full meal. Definitely try this place out though!

I know what elite, holy-grail Mexican food tastes like, and Tacos Michoacan absolutely clears the bar. You don't need to drive to the actual border when this highway gem is right here. I ordered the Super Burrito (pro tip: hold the rice filler, add guacamole) and paired it with two ice-cold Mexican sodas. The carne asada was tender AF. Most importantly, there were zero mystery chewy chunks. You know exactly what I mean...that one rubbery piece of gristle that sneaks up on you, makes you question your life choices, and forces you to secretly gag into a napkin. None of that here... just pure, delicious steak. Also, do NOT sleep on their green salsa! It goes incredibly well with the burrito and it is completely white people-friendly. It gives you all the authentic flavor without making you cry or question your spice tolerance. This is a rock-solid 4.5/5 experience. And since I actually passed third-grade math, that rounds right up to a 5-star review. Fix your tastebuds, internet. This place is a masterpiece!
