Bro. Their birria tacos were made with love is all I have to say. The food was amazing! Oh, get some chicken nachos while you're at it too!

Long story short. If you want authentic Mexican food then look no further. This is it! Everything that we ordered was soooo delicious (not all pictured because we literally forgot, that's how you know the food was so good) Originally, we were planning to go somewhere else, but that place was closed. I'm so glad we found this little gem! Check this place out, you won't be disappointed. read more

So ono !! This was our dinner tonight. I had the quesa birria and my daughter had the carnitas flautas (this is her fav) so we shared - which what you're suppose to do . The birria (consumé) was so tasty. Beans are the absolute best and I really liked the rice! The service is fast and friendly!! We didn't stay to eat but there's enough parking and tables. Tables are under a tent and the area is clean. Did I say that the food was the bomb diggity?! YESSAH! Support this food truck and local business!! read more

Expensive and mediocre.....severely lacking flavor, unfortunately "the bell" is much better, small menu, would expect more because of..... last visit for sure read more

Grrreat food! As I was eating my delicious tacos with steak, cilantro, and onion, I overheard the owner say they are opening a restaurant. I'm so excited for them! Their food is really good. read more

When traveling, my partner and I ALWAYS track down breakfast burritos! So glad we found Tacos Jalisco this morning! First of all, the folks inside the truck were very friendly, Secondly, the burritos were HUGE and so very delicious! They also provide salsa on the side which was not your basic pico de gallo! It was like a roasted tomato with really great flavors and not too spicy for me and my tolerance is a bit weak for the Mexican I am. 100% would go back again and recommend. Taco Bell should just go out of business with this place in town! read more

Delicious, flavorful shrimp fajita burrito. Much more scant than I would expect for a burrito, and didn't want it to end, but very yummy and will definitely come back (and maybe order 2). read more

Great authentic birria tacos! Came to Hilo, Big Island and was told by a fellow traveler this was the spot for some bomb tacos... and they were not wrong. I came today and got an order of birria tacos with consome and came again before they closed for the day to eat some before my trip ended. Great people too. I recommend! read more

Very authentic Mexican food truck. Portion sizes are generous - ordered tres tacos- very good. Would definitely recommend....

Okay I never did leave a review anywhere. But my lunch was so delicious just now, I was moved to jump up and rave about it. So I went to the new Pāhoa location. Ordered the Queso Birria plate with consomé. Let me tell you that was perfection. And I've tried a lot of Birria. Didn't think they could the beat the one I love at Wahiawā's Taqueria El Ranchero. (Was my fave). But they did. The queso was delicious. The Birria was so soft and tender with just the right amount of fat. The onions and cilantro so fresh. The consomé was so tasty and not too oily or salty. Paired with the right rice and beans... omg so mouthwatering good! Compliments to the chef. Also service was pretty quick even though there was quite a bit of people ahead of me. My husband loved his Tres pollo taco plate too. Prices considering the market was reasonable for the quality and quantity of the food. 5 stars for sure. Picture doesn't even do it justice. Oh and the cook even came out to check on us. Definitely worth the stop for anyone who comes out to Pāhoa. read more

Tacos Jalisco - Queso Birria Plate - Food Trucks Near Me - Hilo, Hawaii

Really wanted to like this place but the food came out average (maybe we ordered the wrong stuff) got flautas which I was hoping would have fresh guacamole but didn't seem like it. Rice seemed okay too. The picnic tables were not clean and they had open trash cans right next to the benches which attracted a lot of flies so we had to eat in our car. Chips and salsa were good. read more

Oh man hands down best flautas I've had also they don't skimp on the cheese in the quesadillas and the carnitas street tacos are my fave service is always quick and the food is always hot read more

okay stick around for this one- i had the california burrito with carne asada, it was a dream. delicious yummy perfection. the salsa? spicy, perfect. my two friends got the regular burrito with carne asada and guacamole. they loved theirs. we have never been so excited for mexican food, it was very authentic. unfortunately the thrill wore off the next morning inside the stall of a bathroom. round 1 hit me very instantly. i went from perfectly fine, to running for the sake of my life and pants. round 1 hit friend A 30 minutes later. both of our round 2's were made before leaving our campground. unfortunately round 1 hit friend B while driving. the time it took to find a bathroom was only a third of the time it took to enter and leave said bathroom (sorry blonde dude who came in after and had to walk out promptly and brave his way back in). round 3 hit friend A promptly after this, in the next target of the jalisco burrito. when i say we had to camp out at this spot for rounds 1-3 i mean it. we left to go on a hike, and had to return to this spot before we got our stuff together for the hike. on the hike, we found the most dreamy obscure cave dwelling for rounds 3-4 varying in victim. rounds 5 were made in target. we are just now hitting our 24 hour mark from our jalisco burritos last night. fortunately, food poisoning is something that can be fixed. if needed remind everyone to wear gloves and wash their hands while making your burrito. the food was incredible- so dont let this scare you. but you get to decide if its worth or not in the first 24hrs after eating. (ps we have been before and had no issues, until now, same with another reviewer from 5 days ago. possibly there is a new guy in the back who needs a longer briefing.) gracias!! read more

Best Mexican food I have had on the Bug Island. Loaded w cilantro and onions, and the meat was really good.

The Tacos Jalisco team is outstanding. The "A" Team consists of Nell, the wife of Troy (one of the partners), along with the other partner, David. All of them conspire to make some of the most delicious and authentic Mexican food in town. My husband and I adore everything we've eaten! And don't get us started on their tacos birria, especially with that scrumptious consommé! It's truly off-the-chain fantastic!!! The prices are very competitive and the service is impeccable! read more

The best Mexican food on the island of Hawaii, hands down! Excellent friendly service too. If the parking lot doesn't offer the ambiance you need then get it to go and go enjoy the food near an oceanfront park:) read more

Had a great burrito today. The wrapping was fresh and soft. The pico de gallo sauce punched up the flavor and added a nice crunch.

I kinda debated reviewing this place cause it was just meh. The food wasn't bad but not especially good either. I like that they have a selection of different meats to choose from but if you want flautas there are only 2 options - chicken and pork. Entrees we're ok. Birria lacked flavor. You couldn't taste the complexity that is supposed to be in consume. Beans were ok, the verdict is still out if they're from a can. Rice tasted like it was from a package. Service wasn't great. The guy at the window seemed annoyed in general. I don't think we will be back. read more

Best flautas I've ever had and I lived in LA for 10 years. Phenomenal food! Trinity was a lovely host and accommodated my partner's dietary restrictions. Great job Trinity & Troy on a lovely operation with amazing food! It hit the spot right after the beach! read more

Everything you see someone else eat here you want to get for your and try it to. Best place to eat on island. read more

Great food and service! Great tacos and flautist! (And I lived in SoCal for 40 years....)

Very welcoming atmosphere, service was great and the food was amazing. This is a must stop for authentic Mexican food.

I say this with the upmost respect because I can tell these guys work hard, but rushing your guests when ordering, asking their name quickly, and not allowing them a moment to see if there's anything else they'd like is quite upsetting. Two times I've been by now hoping it was just an off day, but so most likely would have spent more money if i didn't feel so rushed or like another number. The food was delicious like always, and they were open on Labor Day which was awesome. read more
