    Chorizo & asada tacos
    Tamarah J.

    The husband and I have heard nothing but great things about this taco truck. So Saturday afternoon we decided to give it a try for lunch! We each tried a carne asada taco, and their birria tacos. My husband also tried their chorizo taco. I always hold the onion and add cheese and sour cream to my asada tacos. The asada taco was pretty delicious. If I'm being honest, the birria taco had too much cheese and not very flavorful (even after dipping it in the juice). I would definitely come back to try a few different items, but would not ever get their birria again. Thank you for the inviting atmosphere and the great service!

    Hands down some of the best Bierra I have had, also comes with a cup of consume. My favorite item off the food truck.

    BEST Al Pastor tacos in Bakersfield....
    Jason P.

    Well, the years have gone by and LOOK?!?! Joe's Tacos is almost 5 stars...Two locations and still GREAT tacos!!! Short but sweet, BEST TACOS in town.... Always quick service and clean place to eat!

    Menu

    Excellent bacon breakfast burrito- they even made the breakfast burrito for me after 2pm on a weekday. Great staff and very clean patio to eat on!

    2 asada, 2 tripa and 1 queso birria
    Cesar T.

    Tripa was on point, really good. The asada and birria were also good, but the tripa was my favorite

    Outside seating

    Wow, this place is serving some real authentic quesabirria Tacos I really underestimated this Place. To be honest I didn't think it was going to be this good. This tacos were super good. They had the perfect amount of cheese with meat on them and the tortilla, having a nice crunch to it. They also have the consomé on lockdown. I even think the consomé was the best part of everything. It had so much great flavor just on its own that I didn't have to put anything on it. It was absolutely perfect. They only have outside seating underneath the tent but it was actually pretty fresh with the two big fans they have running. I was actually the only one at the moment so the food came out pretty fast and the ladies were very friendly. I will definitely be back if I'm ever in the area.

    Lengua tacos here are fire big dawg .

    The food was alright, the only thing I've had from here was the asada street tacos. The food is over priced for the quality.

    THE BEST tacos in Bakersfield. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Every meat, every menu item,…read moreeven the agua frescas, all top tier. They load you up with meat that are all cleverly seasoned and prepared. Asada has smokey taste to it that I think some places lack. Pastor has the perfect blend of sweet and spicy . Buche is savory and doesn't feel like you're even eating offal. Everything is loaded up! The loaded potato has about a 1/2" lb of meat or more. The quesadillas are plump! Meat almost falls out. Sauces and other accompaniments are self serve and you can get as much as you want. Their chipotle salsa is spicy but damn is it good. They even have spicy onions that I never see. While you wait for your meal and watch the taquero at work, they have beans, tostadas, nopal, grilled onions and jalapenos all just sitting there FOR FREE. They also have some tiny potatoes soaking in the meat juices if you're lucky enough that they haven't run out (also for free!). The experience is just so customer forward and this is a gem that I hope expands even more. They have deals every week from buy one get one tortas, $1 tacos at a certain day at each location. It's often they have a line so consider yourself blessed if there isn't.

The place is pretty easy to find on the corner of 18th & R. There isn't a lot of seating for more than parties of 4. We were a party of 6 and we all smooshed into a horseshoe booth inside. There are only 2 of these booths available and they indicated they are not able to place additional seating at the booths. I imagine you might be able to put tables together outside for a larger party. We were greeted warmly, and while I felt overwhelmed by the amazing choices, the gal taking our order put me at ease by walking me through the menu board. We got amazing carnitas quesadillas and tacos and another dish that came on top of a mound of delicious fries. It's the kind of place where you order, then sit down and they bring you the food. We were well taken care of. Our drinks were refilled and they brought us 'to go' boxes. Their portions are generous and just tasty. And the iced tea was perfect! We ordered a full order of chips and salsa. That is extra. It was $6 for a full order ($5 for half) and these chips were well worth the cost. We will be back!

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. :-)
