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!

The best part of the meal was the hot sauce and pico de gallo. We got flour and corn tortillas. The corn tortillas were dry. And the black beans that came with the meal tasted like an old dish sponge. For the record, I have never tasted an old dish sponge, but I imagine that is what it would taste like. It was absolutely horrible. I guess every restaurant can have an off night, but there was nothing about the food that said 4 stars. Like nothing. Some of the most awful Mexican I have ever had. Absolutely awful!

So I decided to come back yesterday to give it another try, and instead of ground beef I asked for shredded beef. To my surprise, it wasn't much better. The meat was tough and flavorless. The rice and beans were okay. The queso dip for my chips was flavorless also. It just didn't taste authentic to me at all. I paid $10 for it and I felt that was a little overpriced. They consider themselves the best Mexican restaurant in town, but to be honest.... I think they're the ONLY Mexican restaurant in town.

Last time, there was some argumentative drama going on between the staff spilling over into the front of house. In the fracas, they forgot to give us a drink cup and when I went back and asked for it, that somehow translated into meaning somebody else stole or picked up my order [my daughter] and I wanted them to remake it. She was impatient and basically didn't listen to anything I was saying, scowled, and went about remaking my order anyway ignoring me until she threw it on the counter forgetting the drink cup again. When I told her I only needed the cup the second time, that we already had the food, pointing out my daughter, she finally got it. Good grief. Get it together yacko tacko!

Giving it 3 stars because the ordering process was smooth, food was brought to our table, and the presentation looked appealing. Unfortunately, the experience fell short in key areas. There was a noticeable delay -- we received our tacos first, and about 10 minutes later realized our burger was just sitting off to the side. When it was finally brought to us, the staff member casually mentioned, "Oh, I wondered why there was just a single burger here." We tried the ground beef and chicken tacos, but both lacked flavor. The beef was completely unseasoned, and the pickled cabbage and jalapeños tasted like very basic pickling. The chicken wasn't much better -- so bland it reminded us of the plain, broiled chicken we make for our dog. Sadly, that's where it ended up. The smash burger looked good -- gooey cheese and decent bun -- but again, no seasoning and no crispy edges. We didn't finish it because it just wasn't worth the calories. On the plus side, prices were reasonable. Maybe it was just an off day in the kitchen, but as a first-time experience, it was a major letdown. We're open to trying again in the future, but it'll be a while before we return.
