Taqueria Jalisco — Restaurant in Claremore

I have been here a handful of times in the last 4 years. Today I was craving some tacos and decided to give it a try. The parking lot was empty when I arrived. Only employee vehicles in the back; this was around 12 pm. I walked in and it felt fresh and clean. There was a girl, only one. She had a big smile and told me to seat anywhere I wanted. I told her what I wanted to drink and quickly went straight to the bathroom. It wasn’t bad it just look a bit bad. It didn’t smell, it just look like it could be care for a bit more and be more presentable. Anyway, back to the food, I asked for the $1.75 dollar tacos. I asked for 2 asada, 2 pastor, 2 carnitas. Let me just say this. The tacos were good there is no doubt about that. But the seasoning….. what is the deal! Pastor is pastor and it should be as close! If I had to close my eyes and tell someone what this tacos were, I could not have told the difference in any of them. They plainly tasted like asada. Like I said they were really good but there was no difference in taste. Something else that caught my attention was the prices. They were a bit too high for the standard. For example: El Patron in Sand Springs, which I consider a high end Mexican restaurant, their prices were not this high. Their place is amazing looking and have a high standard of service and atmosphere. Let me be clear. I am not saying this place is bad. It was good! I am just pointing out that there are areas to improve and that they may be what is keeping this place from being more popular. One more thing, the chairs are very hard and very upright. Anyway. Thank you for the nice service and good...

It is a small restaurant located on the bad side of the tracks in an industrial area of Claremore. Inside, it is clean, brightly decorated and comfortably air conditioned. The owner was the entire staff this afternoon: cook, cashier and server. This lady can cook. The food is exceptionally delicious, flavorful traditional Mexican food.

Chips and salsa started the meal. Very good mild, and salsa picante with heat and flavor. We ordered a small Guacamole. A perfect guacamole! Fresh avocado, chunks of tomato, onion and cilantro. A hint of the great food to come.

My wife got Todays Special, 4 Barbacoa Tacos. It came with a consommé. A red, rich broth made from the braised beef and spiced to leave a flavor in your mouth that you will enjoy the rest of the afternoon. I had a Sope with Al Pastor. The lady said to be patient because she had to make the thick tortilla (corn cake) and fry it. A complete meal. A layer of beans, the tasty pork Al Pastor, lettuce, cheese, cilantro topped off with a squiggle of sour cream. Two wonderful plates of food.

The food we had today was impressive. The best Mexican food that we have had in Claremore. Hop over the railroad tracks and try it!

So we walked in and we were the only ones dining in at the time. Got to chose our own table and we're immediately greeted and drinks ordered. Opened the menu and everything is under 10$! And already looking through the tacos and quesadillas and drinks arrive to table in no time, along with chips and salsa! (We ordered queso at this time) salsa is perfect, and I have ate at many Mexican places. Queso arrives shortly and instantly notice it is a very small bowl it is in and I am a cheese dip lover so this was a little off putting, yet it tasted fairly good just a little "runy." After a few minutes we ordered tacos. It took a while to get our food and we were the only ones eating. Once we got the tacos the plates were sat up beautifully. (I posted pictures on google maps review). The tacos were great I got chicken and steak. Rice was okay, kinda plain. The beans were not good at all. Very bland and not happy to my taste. Besides the beans being bland nothing really stood out as bad. It was a good meal and we both ate and got full for under 20$ (and I'm not a small guy). I would recommend this place if you want to have authentic Mexican food for a cheap price. All in all I give it a 4 star rating, this might be a little highly rated but I think it...
