I've driven past Jalisco no less than a thousand times. We moved nearby a few months ago, and I was beyond excited to learn that it's within walking distance, which is GOLD to me. The food is fantastic. The Al Pastor tacos are my favorite. The horchata is the BEST. The chips and salsa aren't complimentary, but you're going to just have to get over it and get your butt in here anyway. It gets busy in here fast, both with carryout and dine-in customers. The menu is in English and in Spanish, and the employees also speak and understand both. So if your Spanish is no bueno, that's OK. The outside appears a bit grungy, but it's very clean and bright inside. Don't let the bars on the windows on the outside deter you. The neighborhood is perfectly safe! read more

Very subpar steak tacos. Definitely wasn't steak that was marinating or even seasoned at all. No taste no flavor just bland. A total waste. Never again. read more

Food quality here is not great. Every time I come here I get grisly beef or chicken. Last time, I had a piece of plastic film in my taco. I want to love this place, but it lets me down way too frequently. Service is good, value is Ok, but care is needed in the preparation. read more

Authentic Tacos, specifically the dorados were absolutely superb. Service was outstanding and over the top courteous, very attentive. Little hole in the wall, providing excellent flavorful food, salsas were super tasty, and a unique spin was the jalapeno and cebollitas were self serve, along with a condiment bar that you could help yourself to. Whenever you are in the area, you must stop in! read more

I hung up the call and called back, they turned on their answering machine, so ima go up there rn and go get my tacos one way or another. Yall shitty service ain't stopping me. #stopbeingnicebecauseyouknowtheshop read more

This is just me. They're close to my job so I smell them all the time. I believe that's what I smell from them and it smells so good so I said let me try them. Well, I tried them. I was greatly disappointed. It didn't taste nothing like the smell and it was extremely expensive. I actually end up throwing it away because it was just that bad but that's just me read more

I love the the cheese fries they are delicious the tacos and good a little more seasoning but overall good.

Absolutely incredible food quality and unbelievable prices. I live in North Carolina, and am rarely in the state, but any time I am I try to swing by and get a combo. They have huge portion sizes, and a community of regulars. Definitely a place to try if you're in the area. read more

I've been coming to this location for years. It was one of my favorite Taco joints. The past couple of times I started to notice changes. Different employees and also the food wasn't the same. I thought it was me but after a few visits I realized that the food is not the same. The service has also changed. No one is ever at the front register. You always have to stand there until someone decides to come to the front. I normally order pastor and every time I go they get worse. Very dry no flavor. This time I ordered Carne Asada and it was horrible. The meat was soggy. As if they boiled it not fried. The tortillas were dry normally they are heated in a-little bit of oil and most of all no flavor. I was able to eat them but I had to force feed myself on the last one. Sad to say I wouldn't be going back. What a shame. This place was on my top places locally for Pastor Tacos now it doesn't even make my list. read more

Tacos y Burritos Jalisco - Not very good Carne Asada Tacos "No Flavor!" - Mexican Near Me - Aurora, Illinois

As I'm new to Aurora, try this place for tripe tacos. I had order six tripe tacos and they only had for three tacos. Lady in the register didn't even apologize for not having for six tacos. I asked well done tacos and tacos were soggy. I called to informed them that I had requested well done tacos and she said they were unable to make the tacos well done as they cook the tripe on the grill. This order was to go, I had to cook my tripe at home so it could be well done. Very disappointed as when I order the lady in the register should've informed me that they don't sell them well done! read more

This place is still as good as I remember! I walked in and ordered my usual: combo #1 which is 3 tacos with rice and beans. I was able to choose 3 different meats (something most places usually don't like to do). The taste was still great, and I'd rank chicken as #1, Al pastor as #2, and steak as #3. The food was ready in about 5 minutes and came with a bag of everything one could need. I was so happy to see several likes packed because usually I have to ask for extra every single time! If you're in or near downtown Aurora, head to this authentic spot and try for yourself! read more

Food is good, but this is mostly a carry out place - not a place really set up for indoor dining.

Stopped in for a quick bite...and Wow, I'm so glad I did. The al pastor tacos were so flavorful, and so were the red pork tamales. In fact, they were all so good I went back and grabbed extras to take home and share. I was very happy with dinner tonight, and the price was reasonable. read more

I love Jalisco but not this location. This location has super poor everything. Just now my sister ordered cheese fries and the cheese smelt so bad and tasted horrible. The fries were decent. It is brown more than it is yellow. Horrible horrible. read more

Best tacos in Aurora, hands down! I have been going here for 3+ years & have yet to find a better place. Sooo excited to see this business growing and gaining more traction everyday. Hope delivery is available soon!! read more

For over a decade this was my favorite place in Aurora to get chicken tacos. Sadly the taste/quality of the tacos as dramatically declined and the prices ave sky rocketed over the past three years. The once aromatic, well seasoned, and tender chicken is no more instead a drier, blander, tougher chicken as replaced it. Essentially it competes with the bland Ponchos and Taqueria El Tio neither authentic Mexican restaurants, the former the brainchild of a retired cop, the latter of a construction worker from CA looking to supplement his income in the winter season. The lack of cooking experience is reflected in the food. I still go there to meet-up with visiting friends out of convenience but my once 3-4 taco a bit as been replaced with my merely picking at one taco now. I noted my friends are less enthusiastic too so we will probably look elsewhere in the future. The decline is obvious. Customer service as greatly declined with the change over in employees, the warmth and friendliness is gone and with it the once charm of a once venerable hole in the wall. The High street location has better food which is sad as it is a step down from the quality of what the Galena location once offered. I never was a fan of the pompous Lake St location. read more

Authentic Mexican restaurant with amazing food. There's limited booths and tables, but we went 6pm on a Sunday and only one table was taken. It appears a lot of locals order carry-out as it was very busy for walk-ins. As you sit down, they bring a bowl of cut limes and 2 sauces (red & green). My husband ordered the Combo #2 (tostada, taco, burrito, beans & rice) for $10.50. He ordered the taco as beef steak (asada) and the burrito and tostada as shredded beef. The burrito alone is bigger than a can of Pepsi (see photo). I ordered 2 flour shell tacos (shredded beef & chicken) $2.55 each with a side of sour cream ($1.00). All items were packed full of meat, and my husband didn't even get to eat his burrito he was so full. Everything was dripping with juices and so moist. My two tacos were just enough for an adult woman. We ended up ordering shredded beef flour shell tacos to take home to eat later tonight when we got back to our hotel. We cannot wait to come back here again! read more

Tacos y Burritos Jalisco - Mexican Near Me - Aurora, Illinois

$5.30 for 3 tacos, beans, and rice are you kidding me? Well if half of the carne asada tacos weren't fat this would be a good deal. Unfortunately they were and I was spitting out chunks like watermelon seeds. Gross... On the other hand the al pastor tacos, although not authentic, were pretty tasty. The rice was run of the mill but the beans were nice and silky smooth. Horchata was missing something too. About as cheap as you are gonna find tacos so check it out if your on a budget. I mean there is a reason the tacos are so cheap. Your smart just think about it...Id say go with the al pastor but its up to you maybe some of the other fillings are better. Ill check it out again since its close to my gf's sisters place. read more

Tacos y Burritos Jalisco - Taco combo togo - Mexican Near Me - Aurora, Illinois

Hubby did a machine install at the "Save A Lot," and the manager of the grocery store recommended this place for lunch. Upon opening the menu, I saw many regular items such as tacos, tortas, burritos, and gorditas. Everything was very reasonably-priced. For examples, the taco is $1.40 per piece. A standard Mexican joint will typically charge 1.70 per piece. We ordered a small asada burrito and pastor taco platter. They were portioned nicely for lunch. I tried the horchata hubby ordered. It was well-flavored and didnt contain excessive amount of sugar. Everything was good, but I am picky because of being a foodie Chicago. The service was quite attentive. I know it sounds silly, but I would like to give a shout-out to the ladies' room: it was super clean and smelled amazing! They even provided the toliet covers. I did not try the condiments for dine-in patrons, nor the people in my party. However, they looked pretty decent. I do not think I personally will come this way. I am too satisfied with what Chicago offers. P.S. When we went to pay for our food, we were charged for the chips and salsa that the friend asked for. They charged $1.50 without informing us ahead of time. Normally this item is complementary at any other Mexican joint. Be aware! That was why the two (2) star-review warrants. read more

Hands down best Tacos de Asada and Al Pastor. You can taste that the steak was marinated and slowly cooked. It is tender and no gristle. Their salsas are fresh and flavorful. Prices are VERY reasonable. We have ordered everthing from the menu. Food is always fresh and hot. Typical timw to have your carry out order is 10 to 15 minutes. They are always busy, but service is fast and pleasant. read more

I wish I would have taken a photo of my food but I got home and dug right in. It was delicious. I had three different meats; chicken, pork, and beef. All three were so flavorful. I actually have enough to fill me up for at least one meal!!! read more

GREAT mexican food. You get your moneys worth here! This location is my 'go to" destination to fullfill my Pork Tostada and Burrito crave! It's indeed a small space that's noisier than hell with people trying to talk over the obnoxiously loud TV. A digestive distraction is an understatement. Order carry-out if you want a prime example of some great Pastor. read more

First time here grabbing a couple items: combo number 1's which are 3 tacos, rice, beans, & horchata. We thought the tacos were pretty good they come close to los comales. The horchata (sweeten rice water) too sweet and tasted gum base. Not for me next time. The place was clean and staff was nice. This is an affordable close stop for quick and decent Mexican food if your on the westside of Aurora. read more

So, this little place is great!! Its very small, almost like whole in the wall. I love coming to this kinds of places because most of the time you'll be surprised. The food was very delicious and very inexpensive. I ordered the combo #1 which includes 3 tacos, rice and beans. I got stake tacos and orchata. Everything tastes very authentic. The orchata is not too sweet, it's just very refreshing and the way it's supposed to be. If you are in the area and want to have the real thing, this is it. I loved it and I'll be coming here again. Oh! The people here are super nice! Good customer service! read more

This little place was definitely authentic Mexican food!! The location was easy to find and we were glad it was open late on the weekend. When we walked in we were greeted kindly by the employees. My friends and I ordered Ceviche Tostadas, Tacos, Gorditas and a Asada Torta. Everything was delicious that I myself had to go back before leaving town for more Ceviche Tostadas! I will definitely return when I'm back in the Chicago area!! read more

Jalisco on Galena serves good Mexican food. It's not the Americanized mass-produced food of the U.S. franchise chains. The meals are good value and affordable. Good menu choices and combos are available.Some seating inside. Or carry out. Can call ahead and pick up. Orders filled accurately and quickly. Bottled Coca-Cola soft drinks. Your tomatoes will be disappointing. But tomatoes are terrible most everywhere. Been eating here for years. read more

This place is awesome! Most of the time, I order either tacos al pastor or tacos dorados de desebrada (always with a side of fries...yes, FRENCH FRIES!). Yes, the restaurant itself is pretty small with minimal parking, but the tasty food and quality service definitely make up for that. HIGHLY RECOMMEND this place! read more

Tacos y Burritos Jalisco - Tacos al pastor with french fries. - Mexican Near Me - Aurora, Illinois

Horrible service and food! I had the easiest order and the restaurant was pretty much empty and they still managed to mess up the order which was just an order of plain asada tacos. The staff is also highly unprofessional since they were whispering to each-other while looking at their clients and laughing at them. Overall I've been here a few times before and the food is passable but after this experience I will certainly won't be back. I would avoid the hassle and difficulty accessing the parking and go somewhere else. I hope management takes action. read more

Great tacos nice serving size tortas. Fast service reasonable prices. Good place for a quick bite.

The j is pronounced like an h. That's confusing. Mi amo gringo para siempre. Also whenever I order they always say they want to pinch my merry cones. I know I'm a big dude but I didn't think my moobs had reached the proportional size to call them cones. All hilarious banter aside the food here is legit. It's about as close to a Chicago grade taqueria that you will find in the burbs. The lengua tacos are on point. Although I get mine with flour tortilla and cheese. Tacos del gringo para mi. This review might be borderline offensive/awful. Be easy on me it's been a while since I wrote one of these things and I'm a little rusty. Aren't you proud that I didn't end that sentence with trombone ? Ok. Back to the rock I've been smo.....errrr hiding under. read more

Stopped in here for a burrito over lunch. Layout is confusing. Do I sit down and get table service or do I order from counter and then sit down. Seemed that people were doing both. Burrito was good, but not great; somewhat of a let down based on reviews here. Parking is an absolute bitch and one reason why I will not be coming back. Overall did not feel this place stood out from the std. Mex shacks all over the area. read more

If you're looking for a no-frills, high-quality taco experience, this is a great little place. Very inexpensive and all taco choices known to man. I was the only gringo in the place but they treated me well. I will be back when I'm in that area! read more
