Tacos Los Jarochos

Tried this truck at work. They had four meat options: chicken, steak, spicy pork, and tofu. I ordered the burrito bowl with carne asada.
In my bowl from left to right, it contained rice, meat topped with guacamole, shredded lettuce and tomato, and pinto beans topped with tortilla chips. I appreciated that the rice wasn’t too dry or too soggy. The fillers like lettuce and beans topped with cheese were good but the didn’t have as much flavor as the meat. The carne asada was great because it had nice chunks of beef and it had so much flavor. Normally I would complain about the fillers but when you add the sauces to them, they were great. The green sauce was good but I liked the creamy spicy orange sauce the best.
Overall, it was a yummy burrito bowl. It was filling and the sauces made it even better.

Good food, good price and I loved their beans. I got asada and my boyfriend got al pastor and we finished it all!

I’m glad that Tacos Los Jarochos came by my work today and that the other truck that was scheduled flaked.
Hadn’t tried this truck before but since I knew I might do a review I opted for the taco plate since it’d let me try the most things (two meats, rice, beans, salsas) with the least money spent (not a bad deal at $ 8).
The plate came with two tacos, I opted for one carne asada and one chicken. The tacos are served street-​style, with onions and cilantro, with two limes and those little radish things that I never eat (but still appreciate). In both cases, the meat was great, not tough and not overly spiced. The carne asada was just a bit burnt, which is just how I like it from a Mexican place. I hope the truck comes back so I can try that carne asada in a burrito.
As a rule of thumb, I find that rice tells you just about everything you need to know about a food establishment, especially Mexican food. The rice is solid here; not spectacular but very tasty. Another indicator is the beans, which I typically don’t eat unless they’re excellent, which these were. Some might like the beans a bit thicker but the taste was good and they were generous with the cheese.
Also notable were the salsas, served from large squeezable condiment tubes and kept on ice. All three were awesome, which is a rare opinion from me. Here’s my notes on those:
Green salsa — tangy, avocado style (maybe tomatillo as well?), very good
Red salsa — spicy, not sweet, good
Orange salsa — tangy, some mayonnaise flavor, very good but not as good as La Vic
Note that the food here is far superior to La Vic’s, but only the orange sauce is not as good (which is necessary to make La Vic’s food edible). It was difficult to figure out which salsa to use since they were all so strong. I tried mixing all three but more ≠ better in this case.
I also saw a burrito bowl on the menu, might be good for folks that are trying to eliminate tortillas for one reason or another.

9÷28÷15: This new truck came to our office complex today, and I’m glad that we have another quality truck as a choice for Mexican!
The truck seems to have all the standard Mexican fast food like burritos, quesadillas, tortas, and even flautas. They even had a few specials today including a shrimp bowl, fish tacos, and a tacos combo. And yes, they have vegetarian too.
I like to judge Mexican fast food by their carne asada though, which is often a clear discriminator, so today I got…
1. Carne Asada Burrito $ 9.00: This was one of the larger-​sized burritos, meaning big enough to make me feel full being 200lbs myself. But fortunately it’s not just a mass of food – it’s damn good tasting too. So, the carne asada itself was nicely grilled, chopped up. Not the best out there, without great charcoal taste or any special flavor, but it was solid. Good. Also the burrito was plenty moist and tasty with plenty of sauce (house-​made?) and good Mexican white cheese. Comes with some chips. Basic, but good beef burrito. ⁷⁄₁₀.
They also had 3 sauces to choose from: creamy orange which was like a mayo-​based salsa, red which had a good amount of heat and an awesome smoky flavor!, and a green sauce which also was creamy. Really great sauces!
I liked my burrito and would love to try some of their specials next time they come by!
