    Oaxaqueño tacos

    Workers are super nice and patient with non-Spanish speakers. Food is great price for the portions and taste and quality is sublime.

    Tlayuda mixta "slice"
    Daisy S.

    I had been craving a real "Mexican Pizza" aka Tlayuda for a while now and I finally decided to pick one up on my lunch break. The name of the restaurant means little Oaxacan corner and it lives up to its name. This spot is tucked away behind the convenience store at the gas station. Keep walking all the way back and you'll see it. They even have tables and chairs for you if you want to sit and eat your meal. I ordered the tlayuda and a cucumber agua fresca to go. The tlayuda was made fresh to order and took a little while to come out. In the mean time they brought out my drink and complimentary duritos (puffed flour snacks similar to pork rinds but plant based) with hot sauce. I didn't mind waiting but the duritos were a nice touch. The tlayuda finally came out and I was on my way back. The service was very friendly. I got home and immediately dug in. Omg this is so good!! The corn crust is really crispy like a giant tostada. You can break off any size piece you want for your slice and the crust holds up. You can even bend it or fold it on itself. The toppings are super flavorful and I appreciated that the meat was tender. The tomato and avocado are really fresh. I tried all the salsas and couldn't pick a favorite. They're all delicious and not too spicy. I recommend sharing between 2-4 people or 2-4 lonely meals at home if you're like me ;) I highly recommend this spot, especially if you're already filling up your car.

    I was looking for a hole in the wall for our weekly morning date and decided on this place. I was pleasantly surprised that they had a Tlayuda Mixta. I have been wanting to try it for a while. It's so big that me and my boyfriend shared it. The flavors hit the spot and the tree chili was the cherry in top. The kitchen was manned by two people and you can tell they put pride in their food. I can't wait to go back and try the Oaxaca Mole and Enfrijoladas.

    Mole Plate with side of cecina and nopal

    Food gem. I guess I'm now a firm believer that you can never go wrong with Oaxaca food. I was craving mole The cecina is fire. The owners serve you as if you're home. Even tho it's inside a gas station as the food court it has respectable seating and an available restroom. The price and selection is on point.

    Camarones al ajillo

    Ladies are so sweet and food is delicious. Mole oaxaqueña 10/10! Camarones al ajillo also have a good kick. Will definitely be coming back and ordering catering.

    They are understaffed, they take a long time, the food is good but the service is slow It's a bit expensive for the service.

    Asada burritos had 5% asada in it and 90% rice. Sad part is that the rice looked like it's been cooked 8 hours before getting it.

    Serious hidden gem. Hidden in the gas station and with a small sign so they are not getting a lot of attention. But their food rocks.

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.

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. :-)
