El Jalapeno Taqueria - Reviews

My experience at this restaurant was great! I ordered the pastor reg burrito, and it was fantastic with a fresh taste. The food was prepared fast, and I enjoyed the fresh air while eating inside. The prices were also great. I'm looking forward to trying the linguA super burrito next time, as I believe the sour cream, cheese, and guac would make it even more delicious. I recommend this place for a quick bite.

I agree with some other reviewers that the service is not fast, but it is SO worth the wait. This was one of the tastiest burritos I have ever had (the super carne asada), and my dining partner was equally enthusiastic about his taco and enchilada. It's a hole in the wall but very, very good.

This was my 3rd time ordering platters from them, and the quality tacos were everything I expected and more! Everything there is yummy. It's a must go when in the city.

I decided to try this place after hearing about it, but my first experience was not what I expected at all. The food made me sick instantly. I also observed that the cook did not wear gloves and had visibly unclean nails. I would definitely think twice before eating here again.

My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! The customer service was great, and the food was even better. I was particularly impressed with the burritos, which are an absolute steal for what you pay. The atmosphere was also a highlight, rated a 5 out of 5.

My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! The meat was incredibly flavorful, and the staff was wonderful, reminding me of being with family. I highly recommend you give it a try.

My experience at this restaurant was disappointing. The wait time for my order was 30 minutes, and I was charged more than the menu price, even after confirming the cost. The staff member, an older woman with dyed red hair, was vulgar and spoke condescendingly to those she perceived didn't understand Spanish. Considering the amount of food received for the price, it was the most expensive and slowest place on Ocean Avenue. The indoor seating was average.

I've been a loyal customer for a decade, initially frequenting this spot during my CCSF classes and now as a working professional in the neighborhood. While I do miss the mini salsa bar that was a casualty of COVID, the food remains consistently very good. It's worth noting that they now appear to be closed on Wednesdays, as I found them shut recently. Keep this in mind for your visit.

In my opinion, this taqueria serves the best Carnitas and Al Pastor burritos in the city. The Carnitas are incredibly juicy with a slightly seared, crisp texture. Their Al Pastor is truly unique, offering layers of rich flavor from umami to spicy, beautifully balanced by sweet pineapple tidbits. The 20-30 minute wait is absolutely worth it, as all food is cooked to order. However, if you order a super burrito, the cream might not blend well with the other ingredients. The chips are standard, and salsa is only provided upon request.

My experience at the restaurant was quite negative. They completely screwed up my and my Dad's order, mixing up the meat types and skipping the sour cream. The meat was also overcooked, and there was too much spicy stuff. I would advise others to save their money and eat elsewhere.
