Taqueria Jimenez

Food was good , had the tacos with a hot sauce that worked well. Sometimes you just need some tacos and this is a good place to get them

The papusas were delicious, so hot and made to order. The chicken and cheese was my favorite! Red sauce on top could use a bit more flavor , but salt did the trick .

The chips and (spicy!) salsa had me at "hello". Absolutely delicious fare with its roots in Salvadoran cuisine. Dining room isn't anything to write home about, but that's not why you come here. You come here to get a bangin' pupusa and huarache. Freakin' delicious.

I have to preface by saying I moved here from California and the tacos just don't compare to authentic ones to me, even though this is 100% authentic Mexicans running this place. I find the flavors to be a bit bland, toned down for Americans who can't handle spice and flavor and this bothers me. Especially for their chicken and pork tacos which are my favorites. They're a bit pricey at almost $3 a taco but they come properly filled and topped with fresh cilantro and onions. I like that they use white meat chicken for the tacos and despite white meat being typically dry the tacos are juicy and lean. The pork tacos are not something I'm used to and both version of the pork tacos were the exact same except the pastor had pineapple? I expected them to be different and sad one isn't a pulled/carnita style but rather chopped crispy bits of pork. While very delicious this means they're also a bit dry and just don't seem as meaty and filling as the chicken or steak tacos do. The rice and beans are good sides, nothing special, but not bad. Their guacamole and salsas are amazing and I use them to flavor up the beans. I alway get guacamole from here because it's THAT good. Probably the best I ever had. Their horchata is amazing and the perfect balance of sweet and refreshing with the perfect kiss of cinnamon. Most places make theirs too sweet or too cinnamony but this is also the best horchata I've ever had, and I love that they give you a nice huge cup of it! It's a bit pricey but worth every cent! I also love the variety of drinks they have. A Mexican restaurant without Jarritos is just blasphemy and they have ALL the flavors here! Whoever is running this place kept the menu simple but with every necessity that should be on the menu and the food is always ALWAYS consistent for me whether I pick it up or order through Doordash. That's a big bonus for me and let's you know this place is run with love and care. So while they may not be my favorite tacos ever, they do have other things that are and the food is definitely the best in town. The service is also wonderful and consistent. You really can't ask for more from a restaurant. You won't be disappointed unless you've had tacos from California or Texas but even then, they're pretty darn good.

So one random day it was all about taco goodness and to find a place that does it right is something that makes me smile! It was all about the pastor quesadilla as it had just the right amount of flavorful meaty goodness mixed with some pineapple and then it had lettuce and tomato inside it making for almost like a torta which is something I don't believe I've had before in a quesadilla either way it was still delicious and totally hit the spot in every way! As for their tacos they too were yummy and just the way they should be even more so when I added some of they yummy salsa to them as you can always add more to make it hotter just the way I like it! Overall this was a mellow yummy taqueria that is totally doing it right with that said who knows when or if I'll get back here again but if so I'd be stoked on it!
