Tacos El Jalisciense - Watsonville: Authentic Mexican Flavors Right in Watsonville

Not as bad as some claim, I'd still choose this over Taco Bell unless the wallet is an issue. I ordered a Tripe Burrito, not as much meat as one would expect but it's definitely a balance. The red salsa is delicious I should have asked for 2, the burrito was great there is salt and pepper if you think or feel it's bland. I personally didnt. Hungry people aren't picky is what my Grandma would say. Overall 4 on my book the ambience could be better with some plants. Good to keep on mind they have a drive thru as well and Taco Tuesdays tacos are 1.50$ each.

This is my go to spot for taco Tuesday.. granted I’m a white gal.. I think this place is great!! I’ve tried lots of truck tacos but gotta say these rank pretty hi! A plate this big full of meat for 10 bucks!! Can’t go wrong !

I have passed by this place forever and finally stopped here yesterday after a day at nearby Sunset State Beach. I am kicking myself for not visiting this place sooner but I will make it a point to stop here for quick eats in the future. No. 1: it has a drive-thru! After soaking in the sun and waves, and getting in our steps, we just wanted a place with a drive-thru. To get to their drive-thru and parking lot, it's best to enter from westbound Hwy 129. No. 2: their menu was easy to read and everything looked delish but we settled on two chicken tacos and 1 super burrito with chicken but no sour cream. No. 3: THE FOOD WAS AMAZING!!! I swear my vision cleared with each bite! Perfectly seasoned, tender, juicey, savory chicken with finely chopped onions and pickled carrots on my tacos. Munchkin ate possibly the biggest super burrito he has ever had, filled with chicken, rice, beans... more. He ate it so fast, I didn't get to see much of his burrito's innards. I guess I should have taken a bite when he offered because he sucked it down like a water moccasin! I definitely wish I ordered a couple more tacos. But it was enough to get us home without the empty stomach shakes. No. 4: I told munchkin that the next time we want tacos and burritos, I will gladly make the drive just for this place. It is THAT GOOD! This place is THE mic drop on fast Mexican food! Hands down!!! (Sorry, no pictures this time because we were so hungry.)

Taco Tuesday! $1.50 for a carnitas taco. I wanted lengua but it is not part of the promo. The corn tortillas are good, handmade. The tacos are average and nothing to brag about. The carnitas were bland, the salsa added flavor. I like that it came with some carrots on the side. They have a drivethru, parking lot is very small. Staff was nice and food was made prompt.

I ordered a burrito de lengua and it wasn't that good. I had better. I think the meat wasn't cooked right.
