Tiny Humboldt Park taqueria serving flavorful tacos, burritos, and plates with quick counter service; strong praise for asada and pastor, but expect small tacos and pricing that some find high for portion size.
Taco El Jalisciense delivers solid A-grade performance through exceptional food quality—charred asada and pastor tacos with fresh, smoky salsas—and attentive, fast counter service that keeps the operation humming. Tight seating and minimal ambiance prevent higher grades, though the neighborhood gem appeal and loyal following reflect genuine quality execution within its taqueria format. Price sensitivity emerging in recent reviews suggests value perception is tightening, but core taco quality remains the draw.
One caveat: Recent reviews cite higher prices than legacy menu listings
