    This was such a hidden gem to find out in central California on our roadtrip. We've see the food truck at the gas station before, but we're unsure as we're in the middle or no where. But, wow this place is amazing! Everything smelled so good when we were waiting for your food. We got the nachos which were huge and loaded with so much meat. The burrito was ginormous and you could feel the weight of it in your hand. The flavor on everything was fantastic. We'll definitely have to stop by where ever we're on a roadtrip.

    Tacos! 2 pollo, 1 carnitas, 1 asada.

    Still delicious! New ranking: 1. asada - by far the tastiest 2. Carnitas 3. Chorizo - but very close to carnitas 4. Pastor

    Excellent birria tacos!! Food and service 20/10. They have a nice set up to eat, very clean.

    The truck and plenty of seating

    We stopped at this gas station, and I took the dog out. I walked by, and someone asked if I was going to get something to eat here. He said that he loves this place and comes just to eat here specifically. I ordered a pastor burrito, asada Gordita, and two tacos. Right as I made the order, I heard the slapping of fresh tortillas and masa, and I was thrilled. The guy who encouraged me to order got into his semi-truck and drove off. A great and trustworthy sign. This place is so freaking good. It's a very chill spot. The food is pretty fast, so it's a great place to grab a fresh bite to eat off the five.

    Omg!!! Yall have to pit stop with Tacos El Hidalguense. We were driving through but stopped to get drinks at the market and saw the taco truck across the parking lot. We decided to check it out, and I am so glad we did. I had the Torta de Asada with all the fixings and I cannot stress how good it was. I have not had a good torta in a LONG time! But El Hidalguense knows what he is doing. The bread was toasted perfect for a crunch but still buttery; The meat is seasoned, juicy, and flavorful. The torta includes avocado, tomatoe, and lettuce with a Cilantro sour cream that is spectacular because it adds freshness while not overpowering. They offer a red and a green salsa on the side and my favorite was the green salsa. Everything was a 10/10 for me. The Agua de Arroz was made with real rice and the other items I tried were the Hot Cheetos burrito and chicken burrito. All were 10/10! Stop by and get some good food for your travels.

    Driving I-5 South found this great place for a quick stop. Tacos 10/10, had an agua de melon Can say a best. Great customer service. For a chilly night they had a gazebo with walls and a space heater. If ever drive through here again for sure will stop.

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. :-)
