We recently visited Taqueria Jalisciense Baes and left with mixed feelings. The atmosphere was cozy…read moreand homey, and our waitress was welcoming and friendly -- that part was a solid experience. Now, the food is where things got a little complicated. We stuck strictly to tacos, and honestly, it was hit or miss depending on your taste. I ordered the pastor and chorizo. The pastor had decent flavor but could have been juicier. The chorizo was a letdown for me -- it had a pasty consistency, almost like refried beans, and was heavy on potatoes, which wasn't what I was hoping for. I also tried a hard shell pastor supreme, expecting an authentic house-fried tortilla, but it reminded me more of what you'd get at Taco Bell. My husband went with carne asada, chicharrón, and chicken. The carne asada was juicy but the flavor just didn't hit the way I expected. The chicken was good but came shredded. The chicharrón had solid flavor -- I just personally struggle with the texture, though that one's on me since I knew going in! One thing all the tacos had in common: the meat portions felt too small for the size of the tortillas. Personally, I wouldn't classify this as truly authentic Mexican, but that's just my palate. My husband, on the other hand, loved everything -- so clearly taste is subjective! Don't just take my word for it. Give this place a try yourself and form your own opinion. It may not have been for me, but it just might be for you!

We tried the tacos -- the carne asada was a little on the dry side, but the al pastor totally made up for it (so flavorful!). The pollo flautas were solid too, but the real standout for me was the cucumber lime fresca -- so refreshing and absolutely delicious! Definitely planning to come back for another round of frescas and to try some of their soups next time. Cozy little spot worth a visit!

Two stars because the food here is delicious. Otherwise it would be one star. Everything I've ever…read morehad here is awesome. Burritos, tacos, enchiladas, all very good, cooked to order, and fresh. The staff and management here are atrocious. They are under the impression that you want to eat queso, guacamole, and salsa with saltine crackers. I don't know what planet they're from, but that's simply unacceptable. Maybe that's just if you order food delivered, but be aware that if you order a dip from them, it won't come with chips, it'll come with a paper bag of cheap saltine crackers. When called out on it, they do their best to gaslight you and act as though your expectation for chips with those dips is completely unexpected and deviant. Either avoid ordering from them altogether or at least have some chips on hand if you want to be able to properly enjoy your guac. I'm sure it's a cost cutting measure, but it caused them to lose my regular business.

Our server highly recommended the Barbacoa and that was the highlight of everything. Chimichanga was delish. Tacos were flavorful. The pastor and asada seemed a bit tough, but the barbacoa was tender and super flavorful. Next time I will definitely order 3 barbacoa tacos with the green salsa. I did feel like it was a bit expensive for what you got though. I would be more apt to eat there often if I could order just 3 street tacos at $3/piece or so with no rice and beans.

Im from California which has the hands down best mexican food in the country so im a bit of a critic when it comes to mexican restaurants. I went in for dinner and the food here wasn't bad. The caldo de res was really flavorful and the meat was tender. I only wish the salsa was more flavorful and had some spice because it was pretty bland except for the spicier salsa they gave me for my soup. I also had a michilada which was one of the better ones I've had in this area so far.

It was a very pleasant surprise after learning about this business and stopping in to sample their amazing dishes! OMG!! What an amazing array of food on the menu!

The burrito was HUGE and so very good! Everything here is made fresh and from scratch. The staff and crew and extremely pleasant and patient. They are wonderful and I am seriously looking forward to my next visit here!

I heard this place has THE best Mexican food in Deland, so I was exited to try it. I thought it…read morewas just a food truck type of spot, but it was actually a market with a little bit of everything, including hot food and ice cream. My wife and I arrived and tried to find parking in the lot, but it was very small with lots of vehicles parked all over, so we went to the side of the building and that's when I saw the food truck. It looked operable with outdoor seating, but no menu. So we parked in the grass area and went inside the market. The inside is much larger than it appears from the outside. The back area has some tables to dine-in and it a small section more towards the back has homemade ice cream! Onto the food.....they have a large menu with lots of options. Picture ALL of your favorite Mexican foods and then some! We tried the 5 street tacos with Jibarito (drink) special for $13.50. We added a couple of supreme tacos, a plate of refried beans and yellow rice, and a tamale. Note: We ordered chicken for the tacos and tamale. While the chicken was just ok, I would imagine that any other meat would have tasted better. Everything came out to about $25 and tasted good. Surprising, the best part were the refried beans, which is a first for me because those are usually afterthoughts at every other place I've been. So the verdict is in....is Crystal THE best Mexican food in Deland? No, but it's pretty solid. It reminded me of a gas station version of Garcia's down the street.

I often come this way and I have passed this particular Taco Shop many times and never stopped, but today I took a left on Route 15A from Route 44 and then cut through the Shell Station parking lot and found a space just in front of this food trailer. The staff today were two young employees relaxing under the pop-up tent behind the portable kitchen when I arrived, as hot as it was outdoors I think it was cooler under the tent than inside the small trailer that had the door propped open. The greeting and introduction was friendly and they wasted no time preparing my request - two steak tacos (I had them omit the onion). My next question was predictable when asked what type of sauce did I prefer "red" or "green" hmmmmm "which is hotter, yes I'll definitely take the red then". It turned out to be a great choice, not only was it very very very hot it was so delicious. The little corn tortillas were filled with plenty of grilled steak that was very flavorful and topped with a cabbage salad and lots of freshly broken cilantro (very fresh and very fragrant). I admit I am no way a connoisseur of street tacos but I know what I like but I'm ignorant when it comes to constructing them but I did learn something today that I will incorporate in my own kitchen - chop the steak small, very small the small tender corn tortillas can only take so much resistance without ripping, the small chop steak will allow you to over fill them and allow you to take a full bite without this thing collapsing in your lap (these are three bites max so get plenty of them if it's a meal). I ordered two for a drive-by snack for $3.50 excluding a nice tip. It was a sampling that will bring me back for sure....
