3.5 stars $14.61 for a wet asada burrito with sour cream and cheese. This was actually quite good. Good flavor balance with only a subtle gameyness. 3.5 stars. And cheap on top. read more

My team always order from here. Food is good, sometimes is excellent. Sometimes it is good, but they already repeat customers which says something. They don't say it's the best Mexican food in town. but it is decent Mexican. read more

This place is an absolute gem. No frills, no fancy plating--just unbelievably good tacos that hit every mark. The chicken tacos are my favorite: juicy, well-seasoned, with just the right amount of heat and a squeeze of lime to pull it all together. Everything is fresh, fast, and served with zero pretense. What's wild is that these tacos are only $2.60 each, and they pack in more flavor than some of the overpriced "modern" spots charging triple for a dish that looks great on Instagram but falls flat on taste. This little spot proves you don't need a trendy menu or flashy presentation--just real food done right. read more

Tacos El Jalisciense - Mexican Near Me - Seaside, California

The food here is very good but the workers aren't polite. Considering we came here and spent almost $70 the cashier was rude. Gave us the wrong change and order, then when we told her she got frustrated. At that point we only had 5 orders out of 7. 5-7 minutes after that they brought us the correct food and sent us on our way. The ambience on the inside is very small. I don't think we would come to this location again unfortunately. read more

Tacos El Jalisciense - Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Seaside, California

Not so good. I've eaten once dining in and once door dash. The food is not great. Very salty. Not very flavorful. Service indifferent. Best item was the birria tacos out of the many I sampled. My DD wet burrito had maybe 4 pieces of meat in it. Again salty not flavorful. Ordered cheese no cheese. Pictured on menu with lettuce no lettuce. Rice was crunchy. Very disappointing and will not try again. read more

Don't really write reviews on yelp, however, amazing tacos of pastor. Tuesday are also half off. I'm finna come back for that Jamaica fosho.

Second time here. First time was okay and wanted to give it another shot. Drive thru today for a super burrito and quesabirria taco. Super burrito only included rice meat beans and cheese. Doesn't seem like a super burrito to me. The quesabirria taco was a soggy tortilla with little to no cook time on the tortilla. The cheese also wasn't melted inside. Both times coming here I've never been offered or given salsa. Overall the food is 2/5 but everything else downgrades this to a 1/5. Will not return. read more

Los tacos estan bien pero pienso que pueden ponerle un poco mas de cebolla y cilantro. En cuanto al servicio, siempre he comprado por el drive thru y al personal les hace falta un entrenamiento basico de servicio al cliente ya que ni un hola o un gracias te dan read more

Tacos El Jalisciense - Mexican Near Me - Seaside, California

So disappointed with the service. The food could be the best thing ever but with how we were treated ... or actually ignored and forgotten I can not recommend this place to anyone . All we wanted was a few tacos. Nothing special, no special order just basic. Drive through had me repeat my order 4 times.. umm ok. Pay and get the order. I peek at them and see a meat from an animal i didn't order look at the recipe in the bag not ours. Tried to call to the guy in the window.. nope completely ignored. Finally get his attention he takes the food. Given another bag. Again not ours. Had to repeat the order again and was told to go to the parking lot and they would bring it to us. And this parking lot isn't easily connected to the restaurant so had to drive around the block to get there. And waited.. and waited. Ten minutes later we saw many people and cars go in and leave so we went in. The guy handed us a bag .. it was the wrong order he gave us 15 minutes ago. Then he gave us another bag that was cold and wet. That was our foot that had been ready 15 minutes ago and just no one took to us. So beyond disappointed. No apology's or try to make it make right. So now have cold wet tacos. Do not recommend read more

Okay let's get this out of the way. Were these the best tacos? No not 5/5 stars but they were really good, AND THEY HAVE A DRIVE THRU? This place is goated in my eyes. I would say that the wait time takes a while but it isn't McDonalds so I understand. The time it took for me to get my tacos makes sense because they had to cook the meat and the tortillas for tacos (about 9). Salsas could be better tho but pretty good for midday Friday. Used the drive thru so I can't speak on the ambiance or service. read more

Driving through town at Saturday night 930 and there isn't a lot open Find this place open and happy we did Plenty of parking available there so straight in and ordering Takeaway or dine in available Place is clean and seems well organised staff were friendly and happy to see us We went the pastor tacos with some pickled carrots on the side and the pastor quesadilla Tacos had great flavour, corn tortillas were soft and the salsa was a good one as well Quesadilla was crispy outside with plenty of meat and cheese inside .. great flavours with the crunch of the carrots on the side A fresh horchata to wash it all down with was a sweet way to finish our meal and be on our way to the hotel Menu has all the staples and the place seemed popular amongst locals dropping in and the home delivery guys Not the best tacos I've ever had but along from the worst as well Bonus tip ... not expensive either ! read more

Tacos El Jalisciense - Quesadilla and pastor tacos - Mexican Near Me - Seaside, California

The tacos were delicious, on Tuesday ($1.50). Fast inside counter service and very basic, clean, small inside dining area. Next time, I will try the drive thru. The private parking lot was full. Good to see them succeeding. They are located, where Church's Chicken use to be (Sonoma x Fremont). The prices are very reasonable. I really enjoy fast food joints these days, because the prices in restaurants are pretty high.This place does sell beer,too. read more

We are here vacationing in Monterey and decided to try a new Taqueria and we found one that had 3 1/2 stars but I thought they deserved a little more. I had the chili Verde wet burrito; my husband had the al Pastor wet burrito; they followed instructions to the T, we ordered in through DoorDash, but as far as the service they follow directions exactly as we asked them to. I would definitely recommend this place. It's a nice hidden gem! Can't wait to actually go visit the Taqueria and eat there read more

Last time we are here we got the chicken burrito and chicken tostada and it was just not good. The chicken was not fresh, just tasted weird. Ended up making my wife and I sick the following few days. Will not be returning. read more

Tacos El Jalisciense - Tacos de chorizo, tacos de asada and a chicken tostada... - Mexican Near Me - Seaside, California

The best tacos in town. They are fast both on their drive thru and their sitting inside.

We would go here once a week. Especially taco Tuesday. We went tonight and I was eating my tacos a roach was walking across my tacos. We took all the food back and they said they don't believe us. Last time I will give them my money. read more

The order was made incorrectly. I ordered 4 single Al pastor and put all 4 tacos on one plate. Salsa was supposed to be on the side but put on the tacos. When asked for the sauce the person literally rolled her eyes and the rice and beans were missing. Yes, it was Taco Tuesday but not busy at the time I was there. The carelessness of my order was probably due to shift change. read more

Use the drive-through and get the food. This is excellent hangover food. Big plates and greasy portions will get rid of your hangover or give you a cleanse whichever comes first. read more

Tacos El Jalisciense - Small eating area. Noisy tv playing loud music. - Mexican Near Me - Seaside, California

I do like the drive through Mexican resturant but don't waste your time here. Just go somewhere else because the food won't hit.

Tacos are decent at $1.50 on Tuesday.. but you charge me $4 for a single bottle of mexican coke? ¿Que la chingada??? If I need to go down the street to Santa Te to get a bottle of coke that isn't highway robbery, then I can get tacos down there as well. Oh and a 4% mark up for using credit cards. Wonderful... Yeah, I don't think so. read more

Wow! I'm glad I stopped by this restaurant. The food was very tasty and super delicious! We ordered carne asada fries and let me tell you, they were very generous with the food portions. The carnitas burrito was delicious, the carnitas were very tender. I also like the fact that they give grilled jalapenos. 10/10 read more

Definitely one of my favorite authentic taco spots at the moment. Monterey/PG/Carmel simply do not have decent Mexican spots of any kind and I decided to try this spot. They are mostly known for their tacos and have a smallish menu. I've tried the Al pastor, asada, carnitas, pollo, and lengua (beef tongue) tacos and they all were very enjoyable. The carnitas were a little plain and oily but the salsa verde is super good. I wish they would put more cilantro and onions on each taco as it's kind of skimpy but overall the meat is flavorful, and prices are good. They also have a drive thru which is convenient. The horchata and Jamaica drinks were also great-- not too sweet or tart. I like that they give you the vinegar-y carrots with the tacos for a nice crunch. Service is fast and parking is easy in the lot. It's very causal inside with some upgraded fixtures but it used to be a previous fast food joint so it's a sit and go type environment. I've also tried their pozole which was good but I wish they offered cabbage not iceberg lettuce with it. I also had a pollo super burrito that was great-- a little cheesey but good mix of flavors. This underrated spot is definitely worth the drive. It's also a chain restaurant. read more

Finally made it back for Taco Tuesday. Fast service and flavorful tacos. Still trying to make it back to try their Pozole and breakfast burritos. read more

Tacos El Jalisciense - Menu - Mexican Near Me - Seaside, California

The tacos are the best in seaside, not as great as the Salina's location. Sadly Salina's location is closed. However the customer service from almost every employee is TERRIBLE. Theirs a Hispanic lady with black nails did not catch her name shoved my food in my car on the drive thru and greeting no thankyou no nothing. It's not the first time she does this. If you don't like your job then customer service isn't for you. Mind you we're also Mexicans and her service is so POOR. read more

They should improve their drive thru service. We had to wait a lot for just one menudo.

We have only come twice so far, but it is definitely a favorite! The food is very flavorful. I need to come on a weekend for the posole, I haven't had that in forever! read more

Very disappointing place. Don't go on taco Tuesdays in line for 45 minutes with 5 cars ahead of me wait another 30 minutes with 3 cars remaining in the front. They will talk to you in Spanish, even after placing order not understanding you. Service is very poor, I see lots of people taking food orders back in receiving incorrect orders. Never again it's a was of time! Go down to Santa Fe and get better food no waiting. read more

No es por ofender, pero los dueños tienen que saber que no es buena idea poner a la señora mayor en los martes durante el tiempo más ocupado de su día. La señora siempre es súper lenta, que no es problema, tenemos paciencia durante días que no está ocupado. Pero en días promocionales como los Martes para "Taco Tuesday" NO PONGAN A LA SEÑO. Es bien lenta que la línea no se mueve, y en adición a eso hace demasiados errores. Y aun así, nos dio nuestra orden incorrecta. No me lastima que me den una orden incorrecta en unos 5 minutos, esta bien, pero en esta ocasión, duramos mas de 40 minutos para ordenar, y mientras esperamos para pagar estaba en el teléfono corrigiendo un error, y aun así nos dio la orden mal. Por favor, tengan consciencia de su negocio y pongan a gente que pueda ayudar a gente rápido y correctamente. read more

Yuck , presentation was not nice. It was intentional, thew it all in the trash! Won't be going back!

We were visiting here from L.a. and on our way to Taco Bell took a u turn here thinking I'd rather go for authentic. I ordered 4 tacos, 1 plan cheese quesadilla, and 1 med horchata. I was charged $20! I said salsa on the side. Geez you can. Imagine when I got back to the hotel with no salsa. Shoulda stuck to tb! Damn what a waste! read more
