¡Jaime! Taqueria

We’ve been a big fan of Jame so we were pumped to try Jaime! We got a reservation for happy hour and glad we did. Decent happy hour menu, the tacos were really good, I got one of each. The guac was ok, I prefer more chunky but was style solid. The happy hour margs are decent for the price. They’re still working out their service links but everyone else a super nice. We will definitely come back to try the full menu. Great addition to downtown Gundo!

I’ve now dined here three times and will continue coming back ! The shrimp aguachiles is a generous portion for the price and I highly recommend ordering it. I prefer it over the ceviche because it has a much more bold flavor. The tacos are good but not the best for price in the area. The chicken taco is my favorite of them but it’s rather traditional. Most of the other items on their menu are a pinch expensive for what you’re getting … the kale salad is good for some roughage. The service is prompt and I enjoy sitting outside. I wish they would add a burrito to the dinner menu.

Fresh, Flavorful, and Already a Favorite! We checked out the brand-new California Mexican spot that just opened this week—and I have to say, it already feels like it’s going to be a staple. The owners aren’t new to the scene (they’re behind Jame in El Segundo and Ospi in Venice—both incredible Italian restaurants), so I had high hopes, and they absolutely delivered. Yes, it’s still the first week, and you could tell the team is working out some of the rhythms—lots of staff checking in, a bit of hustle happening—but honestly, I kind of love the energy of a new place getting its footing, especially when the food is this good. We started with Margaritas—solid. Then came the guacamole with crispy black garlic and chili—it was fantastic. Chips were fresh and clearly made in-house. I had the sweet potato taco and genuinely loved it. We also tried the sweet corn tamales—so good. Others at the table ordered shrimp dishes, salads, and tacos, and everyone was happy. No notes on flavor—it was all fresh, vibrant, and delicious. One small thing: some dishes were a bit oily for my taste - chef, hold the oil! Also, pricing-wise, the apps are pretty much on par with the mains. Between the three of us, we spent about $150 (shared a bunch, and we were hungry), so it’s not inexpensive—but the quality speaks for itself. The location looks great too—this space used to be a Brazilian restaurant, and this transformation feels like a great addition to the neighborhood. Welcome to the block! We’re lucky to have you. Already looking forward to coming back.

***Update to my original review written on 5/24/25. Service brought this review to a 1 star*** New- Update to my original review (posted below): This further reinforces my initial concerns about the service at ¡Jaime! Taqueria. After posting my review, the manager responded and asked me to give him a call. I appreciated the gesture and followed up, speaking with D’Andrew (the manager), who offered me a gift card as an incentive to give the restaurant another try. I accepted, and he mentioned it would be texted to me within 24 hours. This conversation happened on Tuesday, May 27. As of Sunday, June 1, 2025, I still haven’t received anything. I called the restaurant to follow up and was told by an employee that the manager on duty was someone named Maddie (or Matty/Mattie). When I asked for her, she answered and said she was just the hostess. Confused, I called back about five hours later and finally got in touch with D’Andrew again. He claimed he had sent the gift card to the correct number and said he would cancel the text and email it to me instead. Again, as of Sunday, June 1, 2025, I still have nothing—no text, no email, no follow-up. At this point, I honestly don’t even think the takeout is worth it. Be very, very, very cautious when dining here. A place can have good food, but if the service and management can’t follow through on even the simplest commitments, it really says a lot. Original- Let me start by saying the food was a solid 5/5—even though the rice and beans were lukewarm. My wife and I tried the filet mignon taco, shrimp taco, carnitas taco, and chicken taco, along with a side of esquites. For dessert, we shared the ice cream sundae topped with churro bites and caramel sauce. Super good (though let’s be honest, it’s hard to mess that one up). We also tried their Cadillac margarita, which our waiter recommended—and he wasn’t wrong. It was excellent, and the fact that they use Siete Leguas tequila is a big plus. Unfortunately, the service really brought the experience down. It was extremely slow, and it felt like other tables were being prioritized over ours—if you catch my drift. We ordered chips and guacamole as a starter, which never came. When we mentioned it to our server after the food had already arrived, all we got was a casual “that was my bad.” No follow-up or offer to fix it. Later, a different staff member came by and asked if we wanted any sauces with our meals. We said yes—but again, they never showed up. Meanwhile, the table behind us made a similar request and got their sauces right away. To top it off, our check was dropped off and never followed up on. We had to flag down a completely different employee to help us close out. Then our original server finally reappeared to ask if we were ready to pay… a little late for that. If ¡Jaime! Taqueria can improve their service and follow through on customer requests, they’d have something really special here. The food is definitely worth returning for—but only if the service steps up to match it… or if we stick to pickup orders instead of sitting there for long periods feeling like hostages in a taco standoff. 🌮⏳

We lucked out with a table at lunch on Friday. Food and drinks were great. Really good vibe + nice staff; definitely going to be one of our lunch/dinner spots. Some of our favorites were the veggie options: sweet corn tamales, sweet potato tacos, crunchy guacamole. Great new spot.

I will be back for Carlos and the Carnitas tacos! My fiancé and I decided to give Jamie another try after going when they first opened and didn’t have the best experience. That said the food was great, guac was chunky and delicious, the carnitas and filet tacos were unreal and even better the drinks were delicious thanks to Carlos. We sat at the bar and Carlos made us custom off menu drinks per our request that were SO delicious and he was overall a great vibe. This is going to be our new neighborhood spot. Must give it a try! ☺️

Food is my only gripe - lacking spice and flavor. If you provide 3 salsas, make one spicy and robust with flavor. The birria tacos were bland and cheese flavorless. Everything else was great. Can’t reiterate this enough - add heat and flavors. That’s what separates okay mexican from phenomenal Mexican! Hope something changes quickly so we can frequent the spot often. If not, we’ll be at Sausal down the street.

We celebrated my daughter's birthday there and had the large party table outside. Very nice environment and the service was great. Everything we tried was good, we all enjoyed it. My favorite was the watermelon Margarita, they have the best chips in town and I love the beef cheek tacos. We will go back.

Service was good Food was good Decent amount of options to choose from Good place to meet with friends Friendly place Tables are comfortable and clean Cocktails are professionally made Looking forward to going back

A true gem in downtown El Segundo! From the moment we sat down at brkfst by Jaime, we felt taken care of. Our server, Ben, was absolutely wonderful--attentive without being overbearing, full of great energy, and clearly passionate about the food here. He recommended the birria burrito, and let me just say... elite. It's the kind of dish that stops conversation at the table because everyone is too busy enjoying it. Perfectly seasoned, rich, and filling, it's the highlight of the menu. The whole spot feels like a hidden treasure--laid-back but still buzzing with that downtown El Segundo charm. You can tell a lot of thought goes into the food and the experience, from the creative menu to the friendly, genuine service. Places like this are the reason I love supporting local gems. Between the incredible food, Ben's top-tier service, and the easygoing atmosphere, brkfst by Jaime has cemented itself as one of my favorite breakfast/lunch spots in the South Bay. Highly recommend if you're anywhere near El Segundo--this place is worth the trip. Also for the Resy Amex people this is one of them ones!!!

Summary: Nice vibe, friendly and attentive service, quality ingredients, and decent taco Tuesday value. Highly recommend the quesabirria, and the chips and salsa are endless after the initial $5 purchase (yay!). The shrimp gobernador taco was good, but the shredded cabbage was a strange addition, and the charred cheese slice on the tortilla was off-putting for some members of our party. The mushroom pastor was decent too, but the flavor profile wasn't quite doing it for me. We were given four salsa options with the chips, and all were good, but nothing particularly spicy. The normal prices for each taco are way high, so taco Tuesday makes it more palatable, for sure.

This place is so cute and warm. The food was delicious and the prices were reasonable, especially for happy hour. They have indoor and outdoor dining. The waitress was nice and the restaurant also gave my friend a birthday card with the staff signatures and dessert. Parking lot is not big, so street parking will do. I will be back to get more taquitos, tamales, and the Caesar salad was a good portion as a side. Thanks for making my friend birthday special!

Food was delicious. We got the classic guacamole and chips - perfect! I would ask for extra lime since I like mine a little more citrus-y. Potato and Cheese taquitos satisfied my craving - so good! Tacos we got: beef cheek quesabirria (I make this at home and this was delicious!), carnitas were perfect and not too crispy. Plates we ordered: skirt steak, perfectly cooked and delicious; crispy braised pork shank "al pastor" - different but if you close ur eyes and put the sauces on the pork it taste just like al pastor! Overall, great experience. Parking will most likely be street parking. Hostess and waitresses were friendly and enthusiastic. We will definitely be coming back and may just make this our usual spot for good Mexican food! Oh and gotta come here for Taco Tuesday!

I had pretty high expectations for this taqueria since the prices on the menu are on the higher side and I'm happy to report that they did not disappoint! I came here on Taco Tuesday with a fellow Yelper as we both had this place on our list of places to try. We didn't have a reservation but were seated right away. There's outside as well as indoor seating. It's a very fun and lively atmosphere-colorful walks and artwork. Back to the food, we decided to try every taco on the Taco Tuesday menu (price varies depending on the taco) and the guacamole flight ($24) I was excited to see there were different types of guacamole and that we can taste them all. Three types of guacamole came in the flight and each had a distinct flavor profile. The three flavors that came in the guacamole trio were Jaime, Crunchy, and Maizena. Jaime was very cheese-forward and zesty, this was my favorite. Crunchy had a smoky flavor, and Maizena had some fun crunchy corn toppings. The amount of guacamole that came in the trio was a little on the smaller side. As mentioned earlier, we got each of the eight tacos on the Taco Tuesday menu to share. Each taco was presented very beautifully and they each tasted like a lot of thought was put into the presentation and the flavors. My favorite was beef cheek quesabirria but the Baja fish, shrimp, and surprisingly the chicken were all a close second. Chicken tacos normally don't sound appealing to me but our super sweet server mentioned it was really popular and you can tell why. The marinade was bright and flavorful. Although we were both quite full, we couldn't leave without trying some dessert. We ordered the dulce de leche cake and it was just the right amount of sweet and such a nice way to end the evening. I certainly ate way too much but it was so worth it! I look forward to going back for more tacos and trying their happy hour.

I got the carne asada breakfast burrito with a side of chipotle aioli. The chipotle sauce was a bit too mayo heavy. The steak was also way too tough and overdone. Would opt for a more shredded meat. Great cheese sizzle on the tortilla and the tater tots were crispy! Guac was good but small little bowl. Rice was also fine. Elote was good but spicy. Nice ambiance inside. You order at a kiosk.

Taco Tuesday at Jaime Taqueria is a good vibe! Greats deals on delicious tacos. Parking is on the street, in the neighborhood as there's only 2 spots in the front. The entrance is also hard to see if cars are parked in the two spots in front. Enter alongside the wall with the mural. Cute decor. Loved the wallpaper! Staff is really nice. I forget the name of our server, but she was awesome! Back to the food. The guacamole trio was great! So many fun combos: Parmesan, black garlic chili (my fave), sweet and crunchy corn, all served with tortilla chips. We ordered one of each taco and split it so we could them all. Burria- fave taco of all, SO good Carnitas- another good flavorful taco Filet- Good flavor, needs to be more tender Shrimp- good but needs more shrimp Fish- nice big piece of fish and great flavor Chicken- very flavorful, pretty good Mushroom- not good flavor Potato- best option for vegetarians Tres leche cake was good, but too sweet for my taste. Definitely coming back to try more dishes.

Go for brunch, get the carnitas breakfast burrito with habanero salsa, it's life changing, ten stars, all round best breakfast burrito I've had.

The food here is outstanding! The restaurant is beautiful and I love that they are now open for breakfast and not just brunch. The tacos are absolutely delicious, as is their chips and salsa as well as the guacamole. You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu, you can tell it is chef driven with high-quality ingredients. Portions are just right, and you can taste the care and attention to detail that goes into each and every day. The food was made to order quickly and presented beautifully. Highly recommended if you are looking for elevated yet casual Mexican food in the area!

Popped in to try this place since I used to frequent the former restaurant that was here before after work. It was tasty, but overpriced. I was here during happy hour so it was cheaper, but with the way everything is priced individually (tacos, rice, beans, etc.) it adds up quickly. I don't think I would dine here outside of happy hour prices. The chicken taquitos were my favorite thing I ate. Watermelon Maggie was also refreshing.

I've now dined here three times and will continue coming back ! The shrimp aguachiles is a generous portion for the price and I highly recommend ordering it. I prefer it over the ceviche because it has a much more bold flavor. The tacos are good but not the best for price in the area. The chicken taco is my favorite of them but it's rather traditional. Most of the other items on their menu are a pinch expensive for what you're getting ... the kale salad is good for some roughage. The service is prompt and I enjoy sitting outside. I wish they would add a burrito to the dinner menu.

I decided to go for a solo dinner and sit at the bar. Immediately the vibe was so welcoming and felt warm. Good music and pretty decor. I was waited on by Andrea and Carlitos behind the bar. They made nice conversation and made me an amazing drink. I ordered potato & cheese taquitos and they were DELICIOUS! Not pictured, but I also got a beef cheek birria taco with consume. I ate it so quickly I forgot to take a picture! It was nice to enjoy a place like this. Highly recommend.

THIS... THIS IS NO ORDINARY TAQUERIA! Upon entering this humble establishment in El Segundo, one immediately senses the electric energy of culinary mastery at work. The staff greets every challenger--I mean, customer--with such genuine warmth and enthusiasm that it feels like being welcomed into a secret brotherhood of flavor devotees. Their smiles aren't just friendly; they're the confident grins of warriors who know they possess legendary techniques! THE GUACAMOLE GAMBIT The first strike lands with the house guacamole--a verdant masterpiece that explodes across the palate with the force of a thousand perfectly ripened avocados! The texture is impossibly smooth yet retains that crucial rustic edge, while lime and cilantro dance in perfect harmony. This isn't mere guacamole; it's an emerald elixir that could awaken the dead! LA REINA SALAD: Behold! La Reina Salad descends from the heavens like royalty gracing the battlefield! Fresh greens bow before a symphony of vibrant vegetables, each ingredient precisely cut and arranged with the precision of a master swordsman. The dressing coats every leaf with such finesse that one questions whether this is truly a salad or an edible work of art! THE FILET TACO: As tender filet meets flame-kissed tortilla! The meat, so impossibly tender it could be cut with a whisper, melts upon the tongue like butter infused with smoky divinity. Each bite releases flavor compounds so complex they could drive a food scientist to madness! THE BEEF CHEEK TACO: What sorcery is this?! The beef cheek, slow-cooked to transcendent perfection, delivers richness so profound it seems to unlock hidden flavor receptors! The meat falls apart at first contact, releasing waves of umami that crash over the senses like a tsunami of pure satisfaction! THE CITRUS ACHIOTE CHICKEN TACO: The citrus achiote chicken taco delivers the finishing move! The chicken, bathed in mystical citrus and achiote marinade, achieves that legendary balance of tangy brightness and earthy depth. The char marks tell the story of perfect flame control, while the meat remains succulent beyond mortal comprehension! The service staff moves with supernatural efficiency, reading customers' needs before they're even spoken. Their recommendation powers are so advanced they seem to possess the ability to peer directly into one's soul and identify the perfect dish combination! This is not merely a taqueria--this is a temple where flour and corn tortillas serve as sacred vessels for flavor combinations that could bring grown food critics to their knees! The very air shimmers with the intensity of perfectly balanced seasonings and cooking techniques passed down through generations of culinary masters! FINAL VERDICT: A COMPLETE AND TOTAL VICTORY FOR THE HUMAN SPIRIT! Rating: Five Explosive Flavor Bombs

I stopped by ¡Jaime! Taqueria for their breakfast burrito event, and it absolutely matched the aesthetic they're going for -- modern, colorful, and super inviting. The vibe is perfect for a cute brunch with friends, and the space feels fresh, clean, and thoughtfully designed. The staff was polite and professional, and everything from the service to the presentation felt clean-cut and elevated. And let me tell you... I just took a bite of the burrito and oh my God -- AMAZING. 10/10. It was so flavorful and perfectly made, like they wrapped it with love. It was honestly one of the best breakfast burritos I've had. I didn't get to try the drinks this time, but their coffee smelled sooo good -- I'll definitely be back for more! Flavor and presentation? 10 out of 10. I highly recommend the breakfast burrito -- and now I'm excited to come back and try the rest of the menu!

We made a reservation in advance to enjoy a few margaritas and catch up with some friends. We were greeted at the door and seated fairly promptly. Service was appropriately timed, as we were busy chatting and were slow to look over the menu. Margaritas were nicely mixed over ice and definitely had that upscale cocktail bar feel. The watermelon marg had a super thin slice of watermelon and was just beautiful. The bar and dining areas were all full with a lively atmosphere. We ordered the guac trio for the table, which is nice to share along with our chips and salsa. I also wanted to try the rockfish ceviche, which was flavorful and nicely seasoned as well. Tacos are a little bigger than traditional street taco size, with elevated components. Everyone in our party was happy with their choices. Definitely a fun place and a great addition to the El Segundo Main Street dining scene.

We came here for breakfast at 10 am for the first time and were the only customers there. The server passed by us multiple times without saying "Good morning" or "Hello" and seemed like she was in a hurry to set things up inside, so we just entered our order in the online kiosk. The server didn't tell us what our table letter is (the kiosk asks for it in the end of the order), so we were a bit confused about that. By the time we finally got the server's attention to give us more info about the table letter, the whole order disappeared and we had to do it again (yay!). Her demeanor during the entire meal was polite (yet perfunctory) and not in the least bit warm. As for the food, it was good--nothing too spectacular, as far as burritos are concerned. I had the birria burrito and my husband had the bacon. The cilantro aioli was the star of the show and enhanced the flavor of the food. The portion size was a bit small for the price point and our drinks were made well. It's a pretty restaurant, so you're paying for the location, but I think I could spend my money elsewhere and start my day at a place with a more welcoming vibe.

Cinco de Mayo 2025... Not sure why all the lame reviews lately, but I loved my visit - and on Cinco De Mayo!!! Reservation for 3 at 6PM - BINGO! No wait, no drama, seated immediately. Special shout to Jaelynn our server, she was outstanding! FAST, friendly and efficient. Cool vibe to the restaurant, it's small but stylish. I found the food beautifully presented, delicious and filling. I tried a trio of tacos - filet mignon, chicken and shrimp - all scrumptious. The potato & cheese taquitos were a standout - we ordered a second plate. Chips and salsa/sauce collection (4) - excellent. Wash it all down with a margarita or a local Mayberry IPA and you're livin' grande! Again, I'm dumbfounded by the lousy Yelp reviews, I loved Jaime Taqueria. 5 stars

I have to say I was disappointed. We were excited to go because it's the latest from a great semi chain of restaurants (jame is down the street serving pasta), but we will not be back. My taco order came out wrong. When I asked for tapatío, they said they don't have any so they'll bring me habanero sauce.... And then promptly charged me $2 extra for it (if you're going to charge for condiments you have to say something ahead of time). I had a huge stomach ache after the tacos. Service was good. Ambiance was weird but great if you're a dude into busty ladies. Overall, not coming back.

I had low expectations eating at a Mexican restaurant that isn't from a cart or truck and where 2 tacos cost $15! Just seems wrong. With that being said, the food was really good and tasty. Our server, Nick, took care of us and was super hospitable. Honest with recommendations and the amount of food we ordered. I did enjoy my experience for what it is and a reminder to be open minded.

I want to start by saying we are huge fans of Jame so we couldn't wait to try out the new concept by the same chef in town! Checked out the place this weekend and the food was good, but the prices left a bad taste. We ordered a pretty standard lunch with an appetizer, taco order per person, drinks and a kid's meal and somehow the bill crept up to over a $100, mostly thanks to $12 beers and the need to double the kids meal due to the size. The kids' portion was tiny so we had to double up on that which ended up to cost the same as an adult meal. Service was good and on point. The ambiance left me undecided regarding the self-identification of this place: they had children's menu, changing table at the restroom but some questionable art throughout so not sure if they are trying to be a dude's bar or a family-friendly place. Tacos were flavorful and well-made, no complaints there, but when a casual lunch for a family starts feeling like a fine dining tab, it's hard to justify coming back. There are so many Mexican places around in the area that hit the spot and don't cost that much (especially on drinks). Not sure this place will be in the regular rotation unless they adjust the pricing.

This restaurant is one of the newest from the restaurateur duo, Chef Jackson Kalb and wife, Melissa. You may know them from their sublimely-good Italian places, Jame, Ospi, et al. It took a few weeks to work out the typical opening kinks, but Jaime is really hitting its stride. I dine here once a week or so. I strongly recommend ordering like this (for two) either for lunch or dinner: get either the pork shank or the ribeye, add chips and one of the three guacamoles or the queso, order both salsas, a side of the red rice, and flour tortillas. These are two of my favorite meals in the entire South Bay and you won't leave hungry. Both the pork shank and the ribeye are big enough to share if you add the sides. And, since you're splitting a main, the bill is very reasonable for a memorably-delicious repast. Managers Julissa and Hillary will make sure you're well taken care of. Bartenders Tatum, Randy & Carlos pour delicious cocktails and are happy to serve your meal at the bar. If you're seated at a table, see if you can sit in Frank's section. The parking lot is small, but street parking is ample and free. Bon Appétit!

Came here on a whim for Taco Tuesday and ended up really enjoying it! I sat outside--loved the cute velvet chairs, super cozy. I got the citrus-achiote chicken taco and the sweet potato taco. Both were good but the chicken was my favorite--flavorful with just the right amount of spice. For a drink, I had the Cadillac margarita with the little upside-down Grand Marnier bottle in it...so fun that I took a picture Our server was really attentive, and the vibe was relaxed. Tacos are cheaper during Taco Tuesday (3pm to close), which makes it a nice midweek spot. I'd definitely come back, maybe for happy hour next time (3-5:30pm). Seems like a great place to sip a cocktail and chill.

i like my tacos cheap and from a truck parked at a gas station. but oh boy did this place blow my mind.... everything was unbelievably delicious (nothing was salty at all !!) and the food came out quickly. the drinks aren't very strong though, so prob not worth the price. very clean and pretty inside and there are lots of servers around to help! staff is sweet chips & salsa + maizena guacamole - amazing no notes shrimp ceviche is a little spicy and its so tasty. skip the kanpachi ceviche caesar salad - 11/10 the croutons stole the show sweet corn esquites - omfg!!! sooo buttery and yummy and not salty from the cheese at all (the best part!) beef cheek taco - yes! shrimp taco - eh, nothing too special. i prefer the shrimp ceviche most def

Hola! Jaime Taqueria is an awesome addition to the main drag of El Segundo. First of all, they rescued a tired old restaurant and transformed it into a beautiful, comfortable dining environment that is welcoming and quiet. The service was excellent. Attentive to our comfort at all times. The food is outstanding. The guacamole was freshly prepared and was mostly avocado. The chips were fresh, crispy and perfectly salted. The queso was next level with crispy edges and lots of chorizo. The kale salad was perfectly prepared - appropriate dressing ratio and well seasoned. The chilaquiles were best in class - crispy until the last bite! Much appreciate the over easy egg substitute for scrambled. The focus here is on cocktails. There is not much of a wine list, but the anonymous glass of rose wine that I had was tasty. I will definitely be returning to try more of the menu. Great service, great meal and great room.

Food came quickly. Tacos were great! Kids meals just the right size... rice is red(tomato ish) not loved by every kid. And ice cream for dessert! We will be back

I got shown this place by a friend and let me tell you, I think it's some of the best Mexican food in LA county. The service was over the top outstanding. The beach vibes are always perfect in this area. I'll be back again and again and again

I have been wanting to try this place since going to Jame down the road a few months ago and having such a good experience. We came on a Friday evening and got a table right away even though it was busy, which was nice. The waitress was super friendly and helpful! We got a couple drinks, margaritas were all so good, and the michelada was good but had way too much juice compared to beer. You have to pay for chips and salsa which is odd, but we wanted it so we got that and guacamole. Thankfully they did give refills of the chips and salsa. We got ceviche which was $25 and came with only 5 shrimp!!! INSANE! Would not get again. It was good, but not good enough for the price to food ratio. We got a couple tacos and they were okay, not bad, but not the best. The star of the show was definitely the ribeye!!! The melty cheese and pico de gallo on top was amazing, and it came with tortillas to make steak tacos. The only thing I would say was the cheese was quite difficult to get off of the cast iron, we had to scrape it off with a knife. Overall we had a pleasant experience and would maybe come back for happy hour drinks or the steak. Our meal ended up being the same price as Jame, but Jame was definitely the better restaurant.

Came here for a friend's birthday lunch. When we were seated we ordered chips and salsa along with 2 espresso martinis and a Paloma. Two of us ordered the chicken tacos and another friend has the shrimp tacos. Our server dropped off the chips and no salsa and water. Soon after our tacos came. Still no salsa and no drinks. We had to ask for the salsa which finally came. And after we started eating, then came our drink order. The tacos were okay. Two small street tacos for $16 seems on the pricey side. My friend didn't like the espresso martini after taking a small sip. She told our waiter that the espresso tasted burnt and too strong. Our waitress said she'll take it off our check. After I got home, I looked at the check and realized she didn't take the one espresso martini off the bill. Overall the food was okay. Service was lacking. Won't be coming back as there's much better taquerias around.

My girlfriend took me here for dinner. It was really great. We got the chips and salsa, regular guacamole, I had a beef cheek taco and a fish taco. Both were delicious and I look forward to having them again! I love the blue homemade tortillas. Such a nice touch. We also have the regular margarita with a little bit of passionfruit juice and I had a sugar post to assault rib. Ugly recommend! It really was a nice tasty treat. Service was great. The ambience was great. Definitely looking forward to going back.

This restaurant recently opened up in my neighborhood and my husband and I stopped by there one Saturday afternoon for a late lunch. The ambience is lovely and we were seated in the very back. We ordered the chips and all the salsas, esquite, beans to share. I ordered the chicken tacos as my entree and Chris got the carnitas tacos. Everything was delicious. The beans were creamy and smooth and exactly what you're looking for. I think we tried all the different salsas; each tasted unique in its own special way. The hostess was very friendly and kind and so was our waitress, although I hate to say she kind of disappeared after she took our food order. In any regards, the other staff in attendance were attentive. I will be back to try the other menu items!

An excellent new spot from the couple behind Jame Enoteca, Jemma and Ospi. This location previously housed Tapizon and the interior was really well decorated. Jaime put their own vibe on things now. The food is high-end Mexican with a California spin. The place was lively and packed with other smiling customers here on this second weekend. Servers were super nice. We ordered the kale salad, the guacamole, the corn, beans a very spicy salsa, handmade tortillas and four of their taco options... most of the menu, essentially. Everything was excellent, drinks as well. They have a few parking spots but street parking isn't difficult. Recommend them for a date, business meeting, small group or even a family dinner like we did.

Came here for taco Tuesday and it was great! I really enjoyed the fiery passion margarita. It was the perfect amount of spice for a drink! They have $10 orders of 2 tacos for taco Tuesday and they are a decent size so we split two orders between the two of us which was perfect, 1 of the carnitas and 1 of the quesabirria. Both were delicious! We also enjoyed the Jamie hold the "I" guac. Service was great and the place is nicely decorated although a bit small. Street parking was easy even though the restaurant was packed.

Delicious food Delicious margaritas Excellent customer service from the staff special thanks to Nick made my b day! So fun . First time here definitely will come back! Great cozy place

Main Street just got a new heartbeat. Jackson Kalb has done it again. Known for Jame, Ospi, and Gemma, his latest venture, ¡Jaime! Taqueria, brings his signature charm and culinary brilliance to the heart of El Segundo--and it's an instant classic. Nestled right on Main Street, the indoor/outdoor space is cozy and vibrant, with carefully curated music that matches the vibe without overwhelming it. The staff is warm and welcoming--special shoutout to Rocio, whose hospitality made our visit feel like a celebration. Let's talk food: the tacos are chef's kiss--perfectly portioned and bursting with flavor. The Carnitas are crispy and rich, but the real standout is the Beef Cheek Quesabirria--tender, juicy, and packed with deep, slow-cooked intensity. Pair that with their Sweet Corn Esquites - Trust me. Brown butter, parmesan crema, house chile powder--it's not just a side, it's a statement. The chips are handmade, small-batch, cut from heirloom corn. Crisped like they've got something to prove. And that chef's salsa bar? Four choices, one of which redefines the word "umami." You won't regret it. Now the drinks. The ¡ANANAS! is fire and fruit in a glass--spicy tequilas, pineapple, cucumber, habanero. It doesn't ask permission. The WATERMELON? Clean. Cool. Disarming. Both are worth the trip alone, and there are many more to try! And don't sleep on the lunch special--two tacos and a margarita for $25. A killer deal, especially with this quality. And Jackson? He's there. Shaking hands. Sharing stories. Building something personal. That's not common. That's leadership. ¡Jaime! isn't just a place to eat. It's a place to remember.

I love the appetizers more than the tacos. Everything on the menu is good. Service is great. The restaurant is spacious. I like both the indoor and outdoor seatings. The only thing that can be improved is the dessert menu.

I wish I could say Jaime Taqueria was better because I love Jame Enoteca but it's just not. The space is pretty but the food is pretty meh and we even went on Taco Tuesday when the tacos were cheap but I feel like I can make better tacos myself.

Almost perfect little neighborhood gem. visited here for the first time during their soft opening about a week or 2 in. Highlights. Interior is cozy, warm and inviting. Service: prompt and welcoming. Food: 4/5 .. But I think it's because they're dialing in their process w staff and ingredients. One of my sides (kale salad was delicious but a little too heavy on what seemed like a mayo type dressing.. I know that's not good if you're sensitive to seed oils. But the tacos were delicious and hearty. Esquire was delicious and their Kampachi was nice and cool like I like it. Full of flavor too. The decor is kinda funny .. My gf and I chuckled after pointing out that the owner must be into boobs cause they're everywhere lol. Colorful and eye catching nonetheless I live in the area, so we hope to be back to see how our experience is next time.

The food and service was excellent. I had the birria taco with consome which was delicious with that deep Smokey flavor that I love. The filet mignon taco was so tender, and the carnitas taco was great. The hand made tortillas, the fried cheese and guacamole takes the taco to another dimension. I do recommend to the owner that you offer a little plate with all salsa's because when we asked for the spicy one they were amazing. Latinos appreciate the variety of salsas and you guys really had 5 excellent flavorful choices but we had to ask for them. Now to the drinks, the Cadillac With the bottle of grand mariner was excellent. Leaving the whole mini bottle was a nice touch and my top favorite was the ananas margarita (the Cadillac was very close to the best) but the cucumber with pineapple and tajin ring made this an excellent perfect combo of sweet, tangy and refreshing. I would come again. The South Bay needs more places like this for good authentic Mexican food. By the way, I loved the ambience. I can tell that the decor was very carefully chosen. It was elegant, and classy.

Wow! Just so delicious all around, I'm so impressed! The margs (watermelon was my fave), local craft beer for my husband, apps, and tacos were all amazing! Not to mention the hospitality from the manager Hillary and our server who was wonderful as well! The decor is so cute - the pink chairs especially and I love having the option for indoors or patio dining! What a gem! But let's go back to the food, tacos are so flavorful and big! The guacamole's are all incredible, order the trio to get the full experience! On top of that fresh perfectly salted chips are a no brainer when it comes to Mexican food and they nailed it! Can't wait to go back and try the bloody Maria cart on the brunch menu! Definitely recommend this place!

Recently opened for breakfast- and have to say it's my new fave in town for breakfast and brunch. I like that they open at 8am, which is super convenient and offers another option on Main St, right across from Kreation juicery. Ordered the filet mignon breakfast burrito which was absolutely divine. Steak was perfectly seasoned and prepared medium (with a few slightly med rare pieces which I absolutely LOVED!). Tortilla prepared with burnt cheese on outside giving it a satisfying texture and richness. Frites inside were a nice touch, fluffy eggs. Just perfect all the way around. Service was excellent and enjoyed a lovely table on the patio with just the right amount of sun to create a relaxing and enjoyable experience. Mimosa was also wonderful with splash of fresh orange juice. I like their breakfast/ brunch better than dinner because I found the value to be better and the ambience was more relaxing.

Came back again for brunch- had the carne asada breakfast burrito and corn. SO GOOD!!! Also had cucumber and passion fruit agua frescas. I love this place so much!!! It might truly be my favorite Mexican west of the 110.

I really wanted to love this place since I'm such a fan of Ospi and Jame Enoteca, but it just didn't quite hit the mark for me. To be fair, I visited on their second night of opening, so some hiccups are expected. The space itself is stunning--beautiful building and aesthetic, and I love the concept of the menu. That said, the flavors were underwhelming. Most dishes needed more seasoning, and overall, things felt a bit bland. The Paloma was watery, though I will say the Oaxacan Old Fashioned was one of the best I've had in LA. The tacos were good, but for the price, I expected more--some complimentary house chips or a variety of salsas would've gone a long way. I enjoyed the Kanpachi ceviche, but oddly, it didn't come with chips (only the guac did). Parking can be tricky since there's no dedicated lot, but there's usually street or neighborhood parking nearby in El Segundo. The staff was friendly and welcoming, though there are still some service and timing kinks to work out. Overall, I see the potential and hope things tighten up with time. Remember to make a reservation! We had patio seating which had a nice ambiance and there are space heaters so you don't be afraid of the weather :)

We really enjoy their other restaurant, Jame, so we gave this a try. Expensive, fancy Mexican food is usually not a good combo, and this reinforced that. I did really enjoy their margarita. I could not find a salsa I liked to go with their chips. I had a fish taco and it was high quality ingredients, but not very tasty. My wife had a filet mignon taco, and again, the ingredients are high quality and the meat was very tender, but the spices used gave it a flavor I did not like. The rice and beans were fine. We did enjoy the kale salad which we always get at the other restaurant. It had a couple of different things in it for the Mexican flavor and we liked it. I still feel like if you want Mexican food, go to your favorite dive joint. I don't think paying fancy food prices for fancy Mexican food is a rewarding experience.

I wouldn't recommend. Food is OK. Expensive for no reason. If you like to pay for salsa at a Mexican restaurant with Tacos that you ordered then you can go here. Servers would recommend the most expensive dishes that they have on the menu.

Love the vibe/atmosphere here. Food is great if a bit on the pricey side but quality it top notch. Friendly helpful staff round out a solid overall experience.

No reservation needed for a party of 3 for lunch on a Monday. Cute, modern indoor/outdoor space. Highlights include: bright tomatillo salsa on the taquitos that didn't wreck the roof of my mouth, tasty maitake al pastor tacos with toasted quinoa for that textural hit, and refreshing (and stiff) margaritas. Their tres leches cake compares favorably to many options from Hawthorne and Gardena. Like many others, I love a good food truck or street stall taco. ¡Jaime! isn't that, but it's great. Blue corn tortillas and crispy griddled slices of cheese? C'mon. We'll be back!

This place has decent food not great. But you gotta be kidding me- bring your wallet. not spending $45 including tip for two margaritas. Don't confuse this place with Javier's at Crystal Cove or Century City. The food is decent and extremely expensive and the drinks are out of control expensive.

Best breakfast burrito I've ever had..I had the bacon one. That's the review.. you're welcome.
