A hole in the wall that escaped my attention for many years. My daughter introduced me to this joint.I ordered the tacos (carne asada, pollo and psecado) with single corn tortilla. Wife ordered taco salad with carne asada with mild sauce!I chowed down the tacos in no time. Fresh ingredients with crispy tortillas. Of course my eyes were scouting for more food and I ordered a small quesadilla with carne asada. Filled with enough cheese!Appears to be run by a couple. Friendly and fast service!

This mom & pop taqueria is a hole in the wall you need to find your way to. They haven't succumbed to the current inflation trend yet, making this the best spot to stuff yourself with tasty grub for not a lot of dosh. Even food trucks have quietly slid past them in pricing.The star of the menu for me are the crispy corn flautas (rolled tacos) filled with beef, chicken, or mashed potatoes. They come 3 to a serving topped with cheese, lettuce, and salsa. An amazing value for what other places charge double, despite some turning out lower quality plates (specifically Cheff Che’s in SJ’s atrocious, bone-dry chicken taquitos).Street tacos are simple and excellent with soft, twin tortillas. Burritos are competent but not my favorite. Chips and salsa are provided free (I’ve only eaten there, don’t know if they come with to-go orders). It’s hard to go wrong when everything is this reasonably priced.Credit cards are accepted for a small fee but don’t allow a tip to be added, so be sure to bring some cash for this deserving local business!

A unique style of grilled burritos with a nice combination of fillings. They don't have carnitas. Their other choices were flavorful. I had the luenga and my wife had the chicken. The staff was very friendly. We loved their homemade tortilla chips and their salsas were great.

Sweet place with busted seats and a telenovela playing on the screen. The chips were great, the salsa was spicy, the taco options were diverse with beef, chicken, beef tongue, pork, and fish. The nachos were our favorite, with a generous mix of molten cheese and sour cream.

This is one of my favorite places to get lunch under 10 dollars. My go to is a trio of tacos (lots of different meat options here!). Food always comes with chips and salsa as well, complimentary.

Delicious al pastor tacos. The meat is juicy, flavorful, and plentiful. The owner is friendly and the price is affordable.

This is a one man restaurant with no atmosphere and top quality food. Everything is made fresh so it's not as fast as some other restaurants but it's our favorite place in Sunnyvale for takeout Mexican.
great, tasty, reasonably priced tacos. tried al pastor and cabeza and was not disappointed. wish there were more salsa options. will be back to try more

Not a huge fan. The tacos there are tiiiinnnyy!!! I'm not a hefty eater - but my goodness. I usually get two tacos at most taco trucks - but these at Jalapa were small, and they were ok. They weren't bad, but they weren't particularly good. Nothing to write home about. My partner ordered an Al Pastor burrito, and he didn't like it either. It didn't have the typical Al Pastor tang to it. I probably won't go back - even though customer service was mostly kind.

Great authentic food at an affordable price. What more could you want? This place has an incredible selection of meats: carne asada, pastor, fish, lengua, cabeza, and so much more. Try the burrito Jalapa, flautas, taco salad, torras, tacos, or my personal favorite, the giant quesadilla with meat.Why go to chipotle when you can come here, support a local staple, get better quality food, and get it all for a better price?

My wife and I really love the tacos at this place. It's a small mom and pop place but the guardian saw that is excellent and the nachos very authentic. Nothing fancy about the place but a great bite to eat if you enjoy authentic cuisine. Parking is limited and the restaurant is pretty hot but you can always sit outside. Definitely some place to check out.Parking: Parking is very limited so you may have to park in the adjacent area to the complex this place is in

This place has seriously some of the best Mexican food in the entire Bay area. Seriously, it is that good
