    Asada burrito
    Joseph R.

    This was terrible wet not toasted burrito. No consume the lemon looked like someone already squeezed it. The drive thru girl was terrible rude and was slow. She was more worried about her cell. I'm done with this place it used to be my favorite. This is the twice in a row. I gave them the benefit of doubt last time. It been a month thought they just had a bad night, but after tonight nope I'm done 2 strikes 3 and you're out. Look at my Sons carne asada all rice and beans

    I tried So-Cal today for the first time and the food was good. I ordered the carne asada burrito lunch deal and a tamale. The burrito was big, the meat, rice and beans were cooked well. Salsas are fantastic and tamales solid. I would go back anytime!

    You cant go wrong with their quesa birria tacos, straight drool town. I get that their tostadas ( a bunch if them) and their burritos. All yum all the time, they expanded their drink menu as well. Straight deliriousness after eating everything, and still had room for their Abuelita Mocha Latte. They also have a drive through, with all their new locations! This one is still my go to local.

    Food was delicious! I finally decided to stop by (I always see their food truck) and learned about their actual restaurant. I had the quesa birria and a tamal verde and they tasted very good especially the quesa birria dipped in the consomé. I also had the strawberry horchata float and I def recommend it!! Strawberry and horchata is a great combination. I also recommend to try the loaded potato it was a huge potato definitely sharable. Service itself was pretty fast considering that we went during the busiest time (lunch).

    Had to take my car to get an oil change and stopped at So-Cal Tamal. Food was DELICIOUS! Serves was very accommodating (daughter is picky with her food). The agua frescas are really good. I had the chilaquiles with huevo en salsa verde and the salsa was the right level of spicy. Torta de birria is huge! Definitely will come back for the tamales and Hot Dogs.

This was my first time here, this place is small but don't let it fool you they have mad traffic. The service was excellent and the food was 10/10. Chill vibe, they offer beer, Jaritos and fountain drinks. My burrito was so massive that I could eat half lol. Walked it off at the bluffs and seen some shooting stars.

    Absolutely floored by this place--it's a hidden gem!…read more Seating inside is pretty limited, but they do have outdoor tables and chairs, which honestly adds to the vibe. Parking is street only, but trust me... it's 100% worth the hassle. From the moment we walked in, the experience was great. We were warmly greeted and given the option to get recommendations or browse the menu ourselves, which I appreciated. After taking our time, we ordered the chicken quesadilla, nacho fries, and a California burrito, along with salsa verde, chubbie salsa, and chipotle salsa. The food? Incredible. A solid 10/10. Everything was packed with flavor, the meat was juicy (not dry at all), and the salsas absolutely stole the show. On top of that, the staff really made the experience stand out. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and kept checking in to make sure we had everything we needed. Great food, great music (nothing but bangers the whole time), and amazing service. I'll definitely be back!

I don't live in the area. I live 3 hours away and I need to go and buy tacos to take home. I have not had any tacos at this price at this flavor in so long, the price, the flavor, no way any place can beat it. I hope Birria Bros is making so much money. I will be hitting their spot before I leave town, where I live, there is NOTHING that beats their flavor, thank you for a great dinner in a strange town. An edit: I actually went to the location the next day., I ate the most tasty quesatacos ever. Inhad a Mexican Coke that only cost $3.. the best hot salsa. The young man taking the orders was super friendly. I also went back AGAIN to order food to take home,. I live 3 hours away and I was not about to leave empty handed, the same young man helped me with my to go order and was so nice and helpful. I wish they were local to me, if your ever in the area PLEASE take this review as your sign to TRY them! Not ONCE, not TWICE, THREE TIMES!!

We had a hard time finding it at first, but it's located in the parking lot of South Union Mini Mart. There's a lot of different taco trucks on Union, so make sure you don't pass this one up. Parking isn't really an issue, so don't worry about that. Staff is really nice. The first time we visited the young lady that took our order was very friendly and interactive. She had a nice warm personality so you feel welcomed when you visit. The owner, I didn't catch his name but he's literally cooking the food in the back. He's super friendly and also made us feel welcomed. Even though they are wayyyy out there on Union, they are the reason why people want to come back. Yes, food can be good at places, but if you have a good heart and personality then people can tell you're genuine. The first time we visited we were overwhelmed because we wanted to try EVERYTHING, I don't know what's my favorite item yet, but I'll let you guys know when I find out. Don't sleep on Taqueria El Jalisciense! I'm not a big fan of chicken tacos and I even loved those and I would get it again. Everything is so flavorful and you can tell he really thought about his menu. What I love is that he uses quality meats. Don't believe me? Definitely check out his instagram @jalisciense_torres don't blame me if you get hungry checking out his page haha. I would definitely recommend this place to everyone. If you're around the area and don't mind driving out to Union then this is the place. Give them a chance. P.S. they only take cash or Zelle so be prepared and they open in the evenings at 4pm-10pm. You better go before people start hearing about this place and the lines get too long. :-)
