Taqueria El Jalisquillo - Sahibabad

Food here was delicious. One of the best Mexican restaurants I've had in a long time. The lady behind the counter was very nice and even gave some recommendations. Would definitely eat here again!

Another solid taqueria in east san jo. 2 things this town cannot fail you on 1 Vietnamese fare; and 2 Casual Mexican eats. I'm just randomly trying things out without much research/searching on Yelp, cuz to me to run into a decent/good place strictly out of serendipity is much more fun and rewarding. Which is how I walked into here, just did it one day, and it was so legit, I came back a few weeks later to try another dish. Think I can give them my seal of approval, with over hundreds of taquerias under my belt. First, I love how this place rocks a couple of murals. My fave being a street scene from the old world depicting a small family on a cobblestone street with an ox for transport in a pastoral town with church in the background. And next to that mural is a small fountain/shrine of Mother Mary that makes eating said tacos next to it, that much more legit to me. Service has always been super friendly too. Even though it is order and pay at the counter, they'll bring out the food and even ask part way through if everything is going okay. Not the norm for casual ordering format, even more rare for today's standard of service. Chips and salsa come with an order. There's a small salsa bar where you can knock yourself out. Not a ton of stuff in there, maybe 3-4 salsas, some grilled onions and maybe some grilled as well as pickled jalapenos. But their chips are nice and thick with a great crunch. And I like to blend 2 salsas, one thin tomato-y one, with another spicier one with black flecks of charred dried chiles. The flavor of both together is one of the better salsa dips I've ever had. I usually don't eat all the chips given to me, but here I'm even willing to ask for a bit more...cuz that salsa hits bruh!Tacos $2.50-$3 depending on what you get I tried 2 types one day.Carne Asada 4.5* Super legit and packed to the gills. Heartier than your typical street taco, more beef and umphhh. This is quite authentic as they start out with some flat meat then chops it so fine that it almost resembles ground beef. To some many Americanized peeps they'd rather have bigger chunks and some will even go as far as to slander a place cuz the meat is not medium or medium rare. Come on brah, no place in Mexico will cook carne asada in that fashion.Anyhoo, what this fine chopping does is it welcomes and soaks in their tasty salsa much more readily. Kinda like a sponge, where the 2 can mingle and bring one taco joy. And the meat is nicely browned so the meat flavor really delivers. And that taco is right off the grill, so it is so hot that if you eat there, you will not be able to pick one up comfortably. I was hAngry one afternoon and risked slight burns on my fingertips to hastily devour these bad boys. Hashtag do as I say, not what I do. Also tried some Tripas 4* action as I needed to earn my street cred on that first visit. I actually tried to order some lengua too, but they didn't have any. They didn't even have any on my 2nd out, so it seems it is something they don't really want to do, even though it is on their menu. Just FYI for any lengua afficianados.But the tripas were indeed legit, fried to a crisp so it gave off some chicharone vibes, but still had a chew to the interior. Just pretty greasy that half way through the 2nd taco, I kinda was done with it. I do like this with extra pickled jalapenos tho and a cold Mexi lager. TRUSTSecond visit I tried something more substantial. Tried a 2 meat Plato $18 with rice, beans and tortillas. So basically DIY tacos at this point, but with the added fillers of rice and beans. Chose Barbacoa 4* and Carnitas 4.5* The barbacoa was strange at first. Dead on looked like corned beef brisket just done in a more Mexican fashion. I'm still gonna hold on to my claim with that. Barbacoa is just a tough piece of meat that is cooked super slow and long, so the meat is quite shred-able and juicy. This had the texture and taste, just the pinkish hue that corned beef has due to the curing salts, threw me off. Still made some bomb tac

Great Service, really kind staff, the food it's really good and the prices well! Francisco it's really good,
