“Another reviewer said that they had the best carne asada tacos they had ever had. I didn't have the same experience and found their carne asada to be too dry for my taste. HOWEVER, their carnitas tacos and pescado tacos are incredible!! Their carnitas are probably my favorite out of the literally hundreds of taquerias I've even at. Their carnitas are crunchy on the outside but moist in the middle and they're very consistent! I eat at Jika's about once a week and have the same happy belly experience every time.Their pupusas are also very good and part of my regular rotation.Tip: Their burritos come with grilled onions and bell peppers. Kinda cool if you're in the mood for a fajita burrito but I usually ask them to hold the bell peppers for a more standard burrito.“
“I came her with another family and we all had a quick bite here. I was pleasantly surprised. I've been on the hunt for a good taco spot and honestly this place was solid. The meat was seasoned well that tried. I had the chicken and carne asada tacos both were great. The chips and salsa was good. The salsa had a kick to it. The staff was awesome and the interior had great decor. There is some outdoor seating. There isn't a ton of seating overall but enough for the most part. I will definitely e back and will try other food items on the menu.“
“Been coming here routinely for the past 15 years and this place never misses. Friendly service, and amazing food for a solid price. I live for their lime steak burritos, they're the juiciest and most flavorful burritos I have ever had. All the staff are cool and the food usually comes out within 5-10 minutes. The owner Max has always been super friendly and you can tell he actually cares about his customers. A true gem that hopefully stays around for the long run!“
“In search of a late lunch and the gorditas here caught my attention. Order comes with 2, and I went with the chicharon. May look small, but it was filling. Loved the texture of the crispy masa shell. Flavors of the inside was good, too - would've liked more of the chicharon. I'd definitely return as there are other menu items I'd like to try.“
“Update - new vegan empanadas are great! They are filled with mushroom and vegan feta, very filling and tasty. They have always had vegan options since they opened, delicious plantains rice and beans. It's a local small business with an owner who cares. They added vegan meats now as an option which was something I've been asking for. Updated from previous review on 2023-01-24“
“The food is not only amazing and delicious but beautifully presented. Gabriel and Daniel are very nice and accommodating. We went there yesterday after a memorial for my brother in-law. This is a must try restaurant you won't be disappointed. Thank you so much for being so cheerful and making delicious food. I wish they had this place back in the day when I used to play and coach soccer at Murray field.“
“Reservations recommended. It's a fabulous find with fantastic food. This was our second visit, and my partner said the margarita she ordered was a good as our first time. The service was terrific, and the food was hot and delicious. The salsa served with the chips was teetering on the high end of my tolerance, but I'm kind of a lightweight in that regard. The only cautionary note is the environment. The space has tall ceilings and nothing to dampen sound. As a result, it is pretty raucous and lively...not ideal for quiet conversation. I wouldn't want them to change as that's part of the experience.“
“Very interesting place, I would say very Mexican, but don’t quote me on that, because never been in Mexico. We got chips and salsa for free as a starter. We asked also for water. We ordered this new dish with instant noodles, which can come in different spice levels, but it was a bit too salty and sour for our taste. It came with 2 side quesadillas. For the steak, it was quite good, we got a fresh corn bread. And you can ask for souses, there are 4 different ones and the green was really good, very lime like:) we also got Shrimp tortillas, they were delicious!Wheelchair accessibility: You can use wheelchair inside“
“Aesthetically pleasing! We had to return this second time - the service and food was constant with the first visit. For starters we had the tator tots w/elote - such a great combo!! We enjoyed the salbutes with the perfectly seasoned carne asada as well as the tacos. They're drinks can't miss!!“
“Stopped by this place to grab some dinner, and their "wet style" super burrito sounded like just the thing. Me and my girlfriend both got one with different meat options to split. The service was not particularly friendly, but that may not be the case if you happen to speak fluent Spanish. So, your mileage may vary there. That said, we were absolutely not prepared for how super the "super burrito" actually was haha. You can see in the pictures I took, the burritos were enormous. They were really good, though! Just prepare yourself for one of the largest burritos you've ever seen in your life if you order the super burrito.“
