"Taqueria Jalisco is located in one of South Lake Tahoe’s many mid-century strip malls, but don’t dismiss this gem based on the hole-in-the-wall location. The Mexican food restaurant is quick, authentic, and affordable, complete with a salsa bar, as well as friendly service. The three taco combo with beans and rice is especially satisfying after working up an appetite during a long day on the mountain." - Julie Brown Davis, Daisy Barringer

Amazing local restaurant. Their chile relleno burrito was delish. I recommended getting it as a wet burrito with half and half sauces. The chicken enchiladas with rice and beans was homemade and very fresh. Awesome salsa bar too.

This place was our go to for years. In fact I previously gave them 5 stars. I don’t like giving bad reviews but I also don’t like giving 5 stars that are not warranted. This place no longer warrants that rating. In fact we have taken friends here who also have told us they no longer will even go here. The prices have gone way up, which I get, but portion sizes are shrinking and so is quality and taste. Today I got a taco that had maybe 7 pieces of meat but two I couldn’t even eat. I counted 9 chips for my husband and I but if we want more we need to pay? 9 chips for two people. Two tacos use to fill me up but not the size now. My husband’s burrito was also much smaller. Unfortunately this may be our last visit. We keep giving them another chance but we have given them too many with no improvement.

It's a nice little taqueria in South Lake Tahoe. The service is friendly, the food is good, and the atmosphere is simple. The prices are a little higher than I appreciate, breakfast burritos are almost $11. I will go here occasionally just to switch it up..

Nice service, food and atmosphere. We ordered, Seafood Fajitas, Fish Tacos and Shrimp Ceviche. It was all cooked well and authentic Mexican style. If you like authentic Mexican food then this is the place for you. We are spoiled with Tex Mex and Fusion so my wife did not enjoy it as much hence the four stars. Myself I enjoyed the authentic Mexican taste.

The California burrito with guacamole totally hit the spot! Great salsa bar as well.

Most of the taqueria in the area closed quite early, so you only have a few options to choose from after 6 pm. I like to try out new taqueria each time I'm here, and this was the one on the list. I didn't have too high of an expectation since this is more of a tourist area. The tacos were okay, I had birria and carnitas for the meat. The carnitas were pretty dry and flavorless in the mouth, so I had to drench it with sauce, which I don't like doing if the meat itself is good. The birria taco was also dry and not much flavor to it, which is surprising since birria should be the most juicy out of other meat options. The burrito was huge, and I would say it was at least a pound worth of food. I asked for no rice, and the inside felt like it was mostly filled with sour cream and lettuce. The asada didn't have much flavor or texture to it. I would say this place is reasonable priced and the portion is good. If you're just looking for a place to fill you up, then this place will do the job. If you're looking for some tasty tacos and burrito, then you should look elsewhere. There are parking spots out in the front, and Google maps will only guide you to the parking lot entrance. So you have to keep going all the way in, and it'll be on the right.

Wonderful Mexican food in South Lake Tahoe. We ordered the Super Burrito and it lived up to its name. Chock full of meat, guacamole, sour cream, cheese, beans, and a whole raft of delicious flavor, the super burrito does not disappoint. It's also massive, and fit for a large hungry human. We also ordered a pair of enchiladas and those were solid. Service here is really friendly too. If you're in South Lake Tahoe, and craving some Mexican food, look no further!
