El Taco Jalisco — Restaurant in Buford

This was my first time here. I saw Menudo on the menu, described as "spicy beef soup". I'd never heard of it, but I love spicy soup. I asked the waitress what was in it and she went and got the English speaking waitress to come explain it to me. The waitress said "it's some beef and soup". Not very descriptive, but, ok - can't go wrong with beef soup. Comes out and it's tripe and a foot. I thought it was a pigs foot, but they insist it's a cow's foot - either way, it wasn't "beef". I told her "I thought you said this was beef" and she said "It is." I said "It's tripe and a foot". She just keeps telling me "It's from a cow". Instead of arguing, I say "Ok, well I thought you said it was beef, so can I just switch this for something else?" She said ok and I ordered something else. Of course, after waiting 10 minutes to pay and finally going to the counter to try and get someone's attention, I got my check and they were still charging me for the soup. I said "She was supposed to take that off", and the older woman checking me out immediately barks back "WHY?". I said "because she said it was beef, so I ordered it thinking it was beef soup". To make a long story short, a 5 minute argument ensued as I tried to explain that tripe and a foot are not the same thing as "beef", but two people stood there just repeating over and over that "It's beef. It's from a cow." at me. If you are making a plate of cow eyeballs, would you say "I'm serving beef", simply because it's from a cow? You would if you worked at El Taco Jalisco. The lady did break from "it's beef" to tell me that I should have asked for a small sample before I ordered. I dont know what kind of restaurants they go to where it's acceptable to say "What's in your soup? Oh, beef? Bring me a taste of it before I decide". Anyway, I don't care that the soup had tripe and a foot in it. Now I know that menudo is tripe soup. I will never be going back based 100% on the fact that they didn't care that I felt misled and were ok with arguing with a customer for 5-10 minutes about something they should have been clear about in the beginning, especially since I SPECIFICALLY asked for the ingredients before ordering. Also, somewhat because if a restaurant doesnt know that "Tripe" and "Beef" are two different things, I don't trust that they know "pork" and "dog" are different either. (FYI, El Jalisco, "beef" is specific to the muscle/flesh of a cow. Not everything that comes from a cow is called "beef".) The rest of the food was fine. Authentic, but unremarkable. Customer...

HUMAN HAIR IN FOOD IS A HEALTH HAZARD AND THEY DONT CARE. No apology is immoral! If you see server you maybe late 20 early 30 wears no makeup, midsize , she won’t care nor do her job will not give you any service expect to bring you water avoid Don’t even remember her name because she only came to the table 2 times one to grab the water order and then to bring the waters and grab our cheese dip order and food order ! This place is so bad that I have to leave a review. Have been here before a few years back, went last night with a friend for girls night. Order the Carne Asada dinner plate, came over cooked tried getting the waitress attention. So while waiting for her to come back to acknowledge that we were there, my friend proceeds to grab me a taco box. Where’s the waitress everywhere’s but our table. To clarify they had one male server, 2 female servers and looks to be 1 take out person. Small place should be to handle a simple 2 top table clearly not. I’m putting the steak in the box and then sliding the rice into the box to save for my dog, there was an eyelash hair. Waited over 15 minutes after the server dropped our food another 15 before that. So a 30 minute time period of no server or service. Definitely wasn’t mine still had the makeup on from the night before. Pointed it to the server and no “oh sorry” “let me take this off the bill” I will say I took some bites but over 95% of the food was still there. Like hello are lacking simple restaurant adequate. Like the whole to go box was full of the second I saw the hair, they should’ve fixed it, Was able to even show them hey this is what jsut happened. Like i was taking the food home for my dog and now im not at all. At that point i’m gagging in my mouth, like no that’s nasty and the behavior yesterday was too. This was around 5:00-6:00. This place is nasty, food gross, water well let just say they definitely need new pipes. I didn’t take a picture because I thought okay maybe you’ll acknowledge that you the only you did was bring us waters. Maybe some common sense but hey what can you expect truly from someone who genuinely doesn’t care. Anyways HIGHLY recommend EL REY DEL PASTOR By the mall or Viva mexico by walmart, at least they sympathize say that hey i just ate food that had someone else hair in it because that’s so freaking nasty! Then being able to show them beyond but will happily make sure won’t happen to...

A Hidden Gem by the Gas Station!

I can't say enough good things about Taco Jalisco! Nestled right by the gas station, it's become my daily go-to spot for mouthwatering burritos that are simply out of this world.

From the moment you step inside, you're greeted with the tantalizing aroma of authentic Mexican cuisine. The staff is not only friendly but also incredibly efficient, ensuring you get your delicious meal in no time.

Now, let's talk about those burritos! They are, without a doubt, the best I've ever had. Each bite is an explosion of flavors, and you can tell they use only the freshest ingredients. Whether you're a fan of beef, chicken, or Taco Jalisco has got you covered. Don't forget to ask for their special sauce I like the red – it's the icing on the cake (or should I say, the salsa on the burrito)!

The portion sizes are generous, so you definitely get your money's worth. Plus, the prices are incredibly reasonable, making it even more tempting to stop by regularly. I find myself craving their burritos daily, and I can't resist the urge to swing by for a quick and satisfying meal.

In summary, if you're in the mood for some seriously delicious Mexican cuisine, look no further than Taco Jalisco. It may be tucked away by the gas station, but the culinary experience it offers is nothing short of extraordinary. Trust me; you won't be...
