Taqueria Los Jaliscienses

They need to improve their standards. The burritos are tasteless and the chicken is often too dry. Step up your game, put some love in your cooking and you’ll have way more customers.

Horrible. The one word that describes my experience here at this restaurant. Went there for lunch with me and my co-​workers. As we arrived, sat down ordered out drinks and 3 or 4 other parties (8 – 10 ppl tops) showed. Those others parties had their food/​orders ready before ours. After waiting 40 – 45 mins for our food we ha no choice but to get up and leave before our food showed up bc we only had a hr. lunch. As we were paying the cashier informed us our food was ready if we wanted it to go and apologized because some one on their staff got the ticket orders… well out of order. Smh. We paid for our drinks $ 2.75 and left w/​o our food and went back to wk with an empty stomach. Yay!

Green sauce is HAWT! Just so ya know! It was a creamier kind of consistency, but it was good. Salsa didn’t pack as much heat, so for me, I preferred it. Chips came out nice and warm, so my 1^st impression was definitely a good one.
I ordered the #50– which was the Mexican. 3 enchiladas, one covered with white sauce, one with green sauce and one with red sauce. For me, perfect! I hate having to pick only one sauce on my enchiladas. Re-​fried beans were good– thick, but light in color. Rice, I never care for Spanish rice, but I did eat theirs. Maybe that’s because all the cheese and sauces stuck to my rice, and well, you cant go wrong there! lol I was happy with my dish.
My boys both ordered the cheese & chicken quesidillas, which came with beans and rice too. Very big servings for $ 3.99! Quesidilla was pretty damn good too!
The teenager girls ordered crispy beef tacos, and a fajita chicken flour taco. All said they tasted good, BUT, the beef was drowning in grease.
Great service yesterday afternoon. Fast and hot food. Id definitely return to try other items! Huge menu, and very reasonably priced.

I love this place. I usually eat here on the way to or from the airport. The folks at the restaurant recognize me and are very friendly. I’ve even been for $ 0.99 breakfast tacos in the morning. Those are great too. I typically get iced tea and a tostada with no sour cream. I’ve had several different things on the menu. The portions are healthy and the quality of the food is good. I think the biggest value is the chicken and tortilla soup. You get ¼ or more chicken in a huge bowl of soup with some vegetables sliced into it. I highly recommend this East Cesar Chavez restaurant.

A return visit did not go so well and sadly we had to downgrade the stars a bit.
The shrimp ceviche was room temp. which is scary, and our drinks left a lot to be desired.
The frozen margarita was similar to a snow cone in consistency and scarcely had flavor. Being the optimist, I ordered Margarita on the rocks– that was much worse. It was some kind of very strange tasting mix. Oh well i said, they don’t have their priorities on Margaritas– the Pina Colada was simply ghastly– another HEB mix or some such thing. Moreover none of the drinks seemed to contain much of any spirits.
Phil was smart & stuck to beer.
Sorry guys but the bar need serious work!

Went here for breakfast. Food was cheap and good. Love the corn tortillas they have there. Good portion size. I walked away full and happy.

I enjoy the food, but the service is a bit slow. A few friends and I popped in during a moped rally. We had about 45 minutes, which we figured was plenty of time to kick back and eat. By the time our food arrived, we barely had time to wolf it down and hustle out of the restaurant.
I’ve eaten Mexican all over the country (and Mexico) and never had to wait that long.

Plus:
Good chips — bonus points for having that delicious creamy green salsa
Restaurant is clean with an old school feel (well worn tables and chairs).
Minus:
A la carte burrito is $ 3.99. Taquerias on the north side are about a dollar cheaper.
The chicken fajita burrito I ordered arrived sitting on top of a small glob of sour cream, which is not really ok for me. I don’t like sour cream on my mexi food. Also — the ingredients on the menu didn’t list sour cream, so I wonder if the people there are just wicked crazy with the creama for some reason?
The burrito was a C+. The beans were kinda runny and overall flavor was a bit bland. The sour cream didn’t help, but the creamy green salsa did manage to save the day and spice things up a bit.

So after scouring Unilocal to find a delicious, non-​tex/​mex Mexican food restaurant, we ended up here by mistake. That is what happens when you forget to write down the name and address of the place at which you initially intend to eat.
The restaurant looks promising: it’s cute, clean, the menu looks good, and the salsa is great.
The food, however… not so great. I ordered a mixed plate and received a beef enchilada, beef tostada, and beef flauta. That is a lot of beef, and unfortunately, the beef was kind of terrible. It had some weird seasoning that made it spicy but undelicious. Also, my plate came with two ice-​cream-​sized scoops of sour cream, which is (in my opinion) the signature of a tex-​mex restaurant rather than a Mexican restaurant.
My husband ordered steak fajitas, which were fatty, and were served with an unidentifiable meat. The menu said bacon, but he is pretty sure it was a type of sausage.
I am definitely no snob when it comes to Mexican food. Some of the best food that I’ve ever had has come from questionable, dodgy taco trucks on the side of the road in Guaymas. Good Mexican food should be three things: cheap, unpretentious, and delicious. This place was unpretentious… and that’s all.
Both of us went home with stomachaches, and a longing for delicious Sonoran-​style Mexican food.
