Tacos Jalisco

The staff was very helpful in greeting when we walked in, we ordered steak tacos and rolled tacos with two chicken. The red sauce and green sauce were both amazing, especially the red sauce being the hottest. The cashier was very understanding and helping us how to order when it was our first time. This place came highly recommended and it definitely exceeded expectations.

This is the best mexican I've found in the Phoenix area. I had the carnitas burrito and it was chock full of meat and wonderfully spiced and balanced in terms of ingredients. The tortilla was one of the best I've ever had. Thin (almost transparent), chewy and flavorful. The salsas are hands down the BEST I've ever come across. The heat is no joke! HIGHLY reccomend.

This is a great, hole in the wall style authentic Mexican restaurant. I was very impressed with the quality, service, and the excellent price. Probably some of the best Mexican food I've had in years and years

Food is so good, rice and beans like homemade taste and feel. I had the mojarra frita and it was so so good. We also had 2 mini tacos one was chicken an the other de asada I was expecting small but they were over filled with meat for like 4 tacos, I'm not complaining but I didn't even get to eat the chicken one. It was alot of food. The cashier was nice and the food came out fast. They have a small salsa station, I tried all of their salsas but the orange one was my favorite. Definitely a hidden gem! Reasonably priced.

Man ***chefs kiss*** maybe I’m just a white girl from Tucson but these tacos were AMAZING 🥲 I absolutely loved it. We got the al pastor tacos and carne asada nachos and they did not disappoint. Like my daddy always taught me growing up the more hole in the wall it is the better it’s going to be.

Fresh authentic street food. Some of the most tasty salsas for tacos tortillas and Sonora Mexican style food. I would’ve taken a picture but the food was too delicious I start eating it right away. Prices were very reasonable and portions are large. I ordered five tacos and was stuffed after three.

This used to be my place to go get good Mexican food. Sadly that that's no more. Litteraly any plate you order that has meat. Will most likely have more onions than meat. I ordered a beef burrito, with some onions, they gave me an onion burrito with some meat instead. And this has been going on for a while now. Best to order a plain beef burrito with rice beans, and ask for a side of pico. But even then, you'll be given a burrito with basically nothing. As in a thin burrito, with the tortilla making up most of the burrito.

Unimpressed, but the food wasn't terrible. I just don't care for the way they cook my breakfast burrito.. eggs were over cooked. No refried beans. Also ordered a bean and cheese burrito and they serve whole pinto beans that were not cooked enough for me..we ate there and a lot of flies inside the business, so that really turned me off.

great food. flautas are amazing!! quick service for pickup! super friendly staff and great experience!

Tacos - asada was okay, less charred flavor and more of the ground beef flavor which I don't like. Pastor was marinated, but not in the usual red achiote flavor. Pollo was the braised style. Salsas - the green and red chip salsas were spicier than the red hot. Hard to appreciate any spice in the red hot, though nice subtle toastiness. Soup! Don't usually like soup but the shrimp soup was a nice surprise - with the lime, cilantro, and onions, it made for an ongoing appetizing experience. Nicely cooked & tasty celery, bell peppers, and potatoes- like a Mexican minestrone. Not too fishy, and nice flavor & texture of shrimp. Would have the soup again.

Overall solid for $3 a pop. The pastor was better than the asada. Asada was just ok. Service was just fine for a fast food joint. Nothing special here but it's not bad at all either. I'd come back if cruising around the area. Can't go out of my way though for it. I give it a 3.5 outta 5 star rating.

Hungry for lunch and don't want to wait? You better get there early. I arrived at 11:25am and the line was out the door! El Original Tacos Jalisco is located in a tiny strip mall. Parking is limited and cars are plentiful, so you may need to park on a side street during peak hours. The service was as fast as could be expected, considering the size of the crowd. After about 10 minutes waiting to place the order, the food arrived about another ten minutes later. Not bad, considering they also seemed to have numerous take out orders to fill. The dining room was tight. Every seat in the house was occupied, so consider yourself lucky to nab one. They have MCC on the tellie if you're into that sort of thing. (Volume is rather loud.) I ordered the #10, a Quesadilla and Taco Combo (drink not included). The Carne Asada taco was spicy for my taste, but may be welcomed if you like to kick it up a notch. The refried beans, shredded iceberg lettuce, diced tomatoes and chips were all fine. The standout was definitely the guacamole. It was prepared simply. I'm not sure what was in it, but the flavor was outstanding! I also enjoyed the carb- loaded goodness of the fluffy rice. Also, the quesadilla was "muy bien"! It could have been heated another minute or two to help melt the ample cheese portion, but I would definitely recommend it. A bit of minced onion gave it just the right texture. I hope to revisit EOTJ soon. The price is right, plus the guac, rice and quesadilla were unforgettable!

Located in a strip mall, the restaurant is quite large. You can tell it's authentic and family owned. They had plenty of veggie options and the service was quick. They also offer additional salsa and keep the prices quite low. The vegetarian food was okay. Beans were not flavored with spices and seemed more like a salad. The Gordita and taco tortillas were made fresh. I thought the restaurant lacked taste but is probably better for those who eat meat. I would try once for authentic Mexican food but will likely not return.

I was skeptical about finding a good taco spot in Scottsdale but was pleasantly surprised by this spot! This is my boyfriend and I favorite taco spot in Arizona. You can taste the authenticity in every bite. Service was great and they were helpful when making a decision. We ended up ordering the Fajitas de pollo combination plate and it was very filling! Anytime we are in the Scottsdale area this is a MUST STOP! I could go on and on about how incredible this place is.

Chorizo and eggs is pretty much always good and the version of that here is no exception. Nary a hangover may stand in its path. They advertise the torta ahogada, which is something I usually like but it seemed like a lot prior to getting on a flight. The ahogadas I've had in the phoenix area have all been notably spicy and these people didn't strike me as slouches. I'll get it when I'm next in town for spring training.

Very clean place and nice staff. There is a small salsa bar in the front that we totally missed until we left. They had several plate combinations and a la carte all listed above the order area. We decided on a #6 combination of 3 street tacos, green salad, rice, refried beans, chips and homemade guacamole. We got 2 beef and one chicken taco. The food was quickly prepared. Beware there is a bit of red hot sauce on each taco that will wake up your taste buds with its spicy taste. Otherwise the meal was good. It was plenty for me. There was a bit of gristle in the beef. Shared and street parking.

We got 2: #6 Combos (street tacos) * carnitas, steak, and beef cheek. The staff were friendly and helpful with the menu. The service was quick and food was delicious!

This is my ultimate hidden gem for Mexican food in Scottsdale!! Absolutely delicious, flavorful, spicy, all the good things! I love the combo plates! Super affordable, they got a salsa bar with the jalapeños and carrots. Really the best authentic Mexican food in Scottsdale and I don't say that lightly. Also they have a bomb raspados place next door for dessert! (Only thing is the parking lot is small and packed so be prepared to search for a parking spot or park on the neighborhood streets behind the place)

Let's keep this one simple: Best tacos in Arizona (tied with several places). Get tacos de asada, some home made salsa, and stuff your face. 3 tacos is enough but you can handle 4-5 if you try. Service is always fast. I try to practice my Spanish and have gotten some confusion as a result :) but all's well that ends well. And eating Jalisco tacos is a great ending indeed! The place is a small Mexican taco shop in a strip mall by circle k. If "authentic" is what you're after, eat here. If you don't love these tacos, we have absolutely different tastes in food and you should not trust any of my reviews henceforth. I could eat here every single day. I've also had their breakfast and it was top notch. Highly recommended!

Great authentic spot! Best food and great service every time. There's also a raspados spot right next door! Love the carne asada and horchata.

It's funny, seeing all the posts raving about their prices. Back in my Scottsdale clubbing days, these were the best Carne Asada hangover burritos you could ever buy for the low price of $5.65 each. Neighborhood still sketchy as ever, but the place is clean and the sauces are spicy. Easily the best tacos in Scottsdale if not the valley..

Our bartender at Coach House the night before recommended this spot as being a delicious, affordable option for breakfast the day before I left Scottsdale and it was a great recommendation! Opted for the huevos rancheros, which came on a huge platter with rice, refried beans, salad, salsa, and some tortilla chips. It was huge and less than $10 for breakfast. I also got a hibiscus aqua Fresca and it was really tasty... Not too sweet, which is just how I like it. The service was really fast, we got our food within five minutes of ordering, but everything tasted freshly made. Only negative thing is that they serve everything on Styrofoam which isn't super environmentally friendly.

The food was really good. I had the Carne asada burrito. Very flavorful meat and It could probably be shared with a small child. Too big for me. I would like some limes, carrots in the salad bar. The location is small, crowded. Not very much parking as a Circle K shares the lot.

Not really sure what the hype is here. Service was great but food was not great at all. Meat is dry on tacos and flavor is lacking. There are better joints around.

Daughter brought us here and wow worth to stop by. Fantastic lunch of carne asada with salsa

Legitimately the best rojo and verde salsa you will EVER have. Unbelievably great food. Best tacos in the valley... maybe the universe. Thank you, Tacos Jalisco. I love you.

I fear they may have a new cook. The spectacular carnitas burrito I typically ordered and ate feverishly has changed, and not for the better. It was smaller in size and it had less carnitas in it. The flavor was pretty average and not worth my drive to get one. I'm disappointed and will now focus going to Beach House instead for their surf & turf burrito, which remains spectacular!!

As soon as we walked in, and we were greeted by the wonderful cashier, the food was top-tier, and the Horchata was sweet and savory! The quesadilla was also the right amount of cheese and the right amount of meat! The price was also good for the amount of food we receive

Let's first start off with the carne asada. Thinking about it just now is making my mouth water. Tacos, burritos, nachos. It's all amazing. Kisses to all the chefs!

Authentic Mexican food. Ordered carne asada tacos and pollo plate. Plate came with rice, means, salad, salsa, fajita chicken ( shredded), tasted awesome.

We came all the way from the DC area. Some of the best tacos I've ever had in my life. Whatever they put in that corn tortilla... $$$ Gonna marry the cook. Laughed at the awesome prices. Recommend to get tres leches cake next door.

We ate here twice on our trip to Phoenix. The food was excellent. It is a hole-in-the wall spot but the food is the star. It is cafeteria style so you order and get the food at the counter. The lady who took the order was friendly.

Deliciousness!! Go for a hike on Camelback Mountain then come here and get the tacos. The perfect date.

We are from Alaska and found this gem on yelp! Unforgettable, fast, friendly, delicious!! I had the steak nachos 10/10, my daughter and son cleaned their plates, and my husband said he would fly back just for this delicious authentic Mexican food.

I recently ordered from here and must say it was delicious!!! They made my soup to perfection and didn't skip on anything. The service was quick and I'd highly recommend them for authentic Mexican food.

This taqueria seemed promising but was sadly disappointing. The tacos were ok, but burritos were terrible. Staff was friendly and the location was decently clean and service was pretty fast. Parking was terrible.

I was disappointed that they only do Birria on Saturday and Sunday. But then; I had some of the best carne asada tacos I've ever had in my life. This place is absolutely amazing with unbeatable prices. I'm from Michigan and Arizona did NOT disappoint. 10/10

My nephew has been raving about this place every time they visit so I decided to finally try it. It was very crowded and that is usually a good sign. It is in a kind of run down strip mall but do not let that scare you away. I ordered a couple of burritos to sample their food. Since they screwed up my order and gave me the wrong kind of burrito from what I ordered, I have to review based on that. The mistake was not my favorite but I had always wanted to try lengua anyways. I think it was good but since it was not exactly convenient to get to and these kinds of taquerias are everywhere, I am not sure I would go back unless I was in the area.

I called to confirm the vegetarian burrito is vegetarian and it turns out that the beans are made with lard (not vegetarian) and the rice is made with chicken broth (also not vegetarian). Beware and don't be fooled by the word vegetarian. It isn't. I asked if they'd be so kind to make me a taco with avocado to make it vegetarian and they said they could not do that. Not vegetarian or vegan friendly!

I love this family Mexican restaurant. Very authentic. My favorite is the Pollo tacos. There is a savory flavor and a little kick of spice. I did also have the California burrito that I once liked, but the steak tasted bland. I'll stick with the chicken and try the carnitas next visit.

Was greeted immediately by worker at the desk, was super friendly and answered all our questions as this was our first time coming in. The food was absolutely delicious and the pricing was fair! Will definitely come back!

Hands down one of the best Mexican foods around. It's always so quick, and efficient! I love coming here for lunch since I work down at the mall. Very convenient!

One of the things that I always felt was painfully lacking in the NYC food scene was menudo, and oh my goodness, have I found it here, and wow this authentic AF place makes it the best. I was craving it all week until I got the chance to order it on the weekend, when it's only available here. It's filled with meat and spices, and comes with lime, onions, cilantro, red pepper, and hot sauce, not to mention tortilla. I got flour, because it has more flavor. Can't tell you how happy I was chugging this bowl of menudo down. The portion is the size of my thigh, for not even $10. It's a no-frills place for legit Mexican. Definitely bookmark and go.

One of my very favorite quick Mexican takeout. Authentic. Spicy. Delicious. Inexpensive. Everything we have tried has been delicious. Very casual and quality. Love the salsa bar!

They are always packed! I think because their food is so delicious. We usually get tacos. Cane Asada is tasty. Chicken is tasty. Al pastor is tasty. Both of salsa (red and green) are equally spicy. Pickled jalapeño and veggies are good. Parking is a bit hard but we always get lucky to find the spot.

Ordered a carne asada torta, a bean and cheese burrito, and a horchata. Torta - 5/10 Burrito - 4/10 Horchata - 9/10 Girl at the counter was nice, but I don't think I would return here.

Unimpressed, but the food wasn't terrible. I just don't care for the way they cook my breakfast burrito.. eggs were over cooked and No refried beans. Also ordered a bean and cheese burrito and they serve whole pinto beans that were not cooked enough for me..we ate there and a lot of flies inside the business, so that really turned me off.

Love this spot, tacos are always flavorful and the horchata is refreshing! I've been coming here for over a year and I have yet to be disappointed with the tacos. Very casual spot, no frills.

Great local spot that's really authentic. Tried the asada burrito and the pastor quesadilla. Both were fresh and good size. Went twice this week

You might feel iffy to go inside by the looks of the little strip of shops, but please do not! Restaurant is super clean and lively with locals and tourists alike. We ordered take out and service was prompt and friendly. Prices are super fair too. The ceviche was fresh and well seasoned and cut to perfection. I loved the avocado sauce that came with the quesadilla and all the different salsas ( be warned that they are a little spicy)! Connected to it next door there is their dessert/ice cream shop. We go the flan and it was creamy and caramelly. It is a family owned shop too! What's not to like?

I will say I did not try the menudo or birria, but what I did try were the tacos. And I was disappointed. I come from LA where you find some of the best tacos so maybe my hopes were too high. But, the tacos were not good and you can find way better stuff in Arizona. Probably not in Scottsdale but there are way better spots in Phoenix. The tacos. They tasted like the asada was made early in the morning and they have either been sitting in a warm pan or were just straight up microwaved. The meat was dry but also mushy. It was weird and I left disappointed. If you want made to order tacos this is not your place. The salsa was good, but not great and that's about it.

My favorite taco spot in Arizona! Been coming here for years since I was little it is still just as good as I remember.

I love the carnitas here, and the sauces especially the red one. Small dining room so it does get busy and feels crowded. But they are quick to deliver your food.

Don't let the hole in the wall appearance throw you off, this place is a gem. The food was fresh, delicious, and quick. It's a no frills location, but I'm one that prefers substance over style. You won't be disappointed if you love northern Mexican food. The gorditas are phenomenal.

Solid burritos. Amazing sauce. That's about all I need to know. Yelp wants me to blah blah and make my review which should be good enough longer.

Do NOT come to this place! They will over charge you and will not refund!!!!! I ordered the 9 tacos special, which has no price listed on the wall, shown in photos. On the website, shown in screenshot, they have the price listed as $14.82. She charged me &19.44. $5 EXTRA!!! When I brought it up the lady called a young manager over who was rude and said their price just went up. I said, it's not right to not price match for your customers you do not have your new price listed anywhere. She said sorry and walked away. She cares so little about her customers she can't refund the $5 they owe when I already paid them $30 in food!? They also charge you for the tiny cups of salsa. What a joke. Rude unprofessional and scams you

Friendly staff. Plenty of seats or take out. Food portions were large and all food was authentic. I had a #1 which was 1 taco, 1 Burrito (choice of meat), refried beans and rice. Also served with Chips. There is a serve yourself salsa bar with 3 types. Entire meal with a bottled water was only $12 and I could not finish it. The Burrito was enormous ! This is clearly a local favorite for lunch. Located in a small plaza. There

My son is a Carne Asada taco fiend, I like the Pastor a lot also. I normally order two tacos pastor or asada and a ceviche tostada and thats a meal for sure... The salsas help set it apart...if you like good, authentic Mexican food it is not to be missed. It's very much a local "taco dive" but it is kept squeaky clean and the food is top notch. It is def on our regular local taco tour...
