“Everything on this plate was a 10/10! The fajitas were perfectly charred with plenty of grilled onions and peppers, and that sauce on top added the perfect kick. You can tell the refried beans and Spanish rice are authentic not just side thoughts. The corn tortillas were warm and held everything together perfectly. If you're looking for a solid, flavorful meal that actually fills you up, this is the spot“

This burger has really inspired me. 😋 Sorry I didn't take a pic of the entire thing. I was ready to just dig in. 😅 EVERYTHING we have ever ordered is DELICIOUS!

“The food was great. I got three tacos, and they filled them up with lots of meat. Honestly, they were really good I had to take some for the road & a Gordita too. What I also like was that It doesn’t feel like a restaurant it feels like you’re right at home.“

Their street tacos meats are perfectly seasoned with making you want more ( barbacoa was my favorite) and aguas frescas are so refreshing and soo good! The worker Griselda was incredibly welcoming and the restaurant was clean and well maintained. I highly recommend checking out this restaurant, especially if you are hungry and are looking forward trying something new and delicious!“

“Our first time in and they secured us as future customers forever. The Lengua tacos were beyond generous. My wife's chicken flauta plate was a culinary work of art. We both ate more than we should and still had leftovers. Salsa Verde is 5 🌟!!!“

“I went by yesterday and said the tacos tortas sing, so I w3nt today to get me a torta, but I saw that they make tripelas tacos, so I both some tacos, menudo and the torta, I have been craving for...

Everything its great and delicious.
Thank you guy's keep up the great work.“

“A proper street food place like the ones in my hometown.
Just tried the burger (yes, burgers are not the same in a street stall in my hometown), the torta and hot dog. Going back to try tacos al vapor and guisados.
I distrust restaurants with an extensive menu. This one is not.
Also, I think is unfair to give a one star review because it was closed by the time you got there. This is a mom and pop business, and they are working very hard. If you coming from far, give them a phone call just to confirm business hours.“

“This is a locally owned Mexican restaurant i got a fajita burrito tge meat was really tender fully of flavor the flour tortilla was made from scratch not some store bought tortilla tge prices are very reasonable I highly recommend this place ttge burrito in the photo is only half because I ate the other half I was full and the chips a n d salsa are amazing“

“Hidden Gem!

From the moment Abuelo greeted and seated us, our experience was truly five-star. Authenticity like this is rare—both in the service and the food. The restaurant was spotless, the service was exceptional, and the prices were more than reasonable. Most importantly, the food was absolutely amazing!

I’ve driven past this place for nearly ten years, and I’m so glad I finally stopped in. As someone from Colorado who really appreciates authentic Mexican cuisine, I can honestly say this spot exceeded all expectations.“

“Little Habana made my birthday cake and it was delicious!!! My husband had them add a little almond into the buttercream icing cause that’s my favorite and it was delicious.“

“Good food. Authentic Mexican cuisine they have a short list but it's all good. You can call ahead I recommend it everything is made fresh so a pretty good wait 25-40 minutes has been my experience well worth it though. Friendly staff and clean spot.“

“AMAZING FOOD!! What a gem to find in Ferris. Great homemade and authentic Mexican food. Highly recommend to all. Staff was courteous and respectful.“

“We have been to Taqueria El Jacalito on Kaufman a couple of times, We will definitely be back. They have never let us down. The tacos I ordered were mouth watering and my husband ordered the chicken quesadilla with beans and rice. If you like something spicy then get the orange sauce. It's hot but my husband and I kept going back for more. We will absolutely give our money to a mom and pop place rather then a big chain restaurant. #shoplocal #supportsmallbusinesses“

“Food was decent. I understand it was close to closing 2:30pm, that should not alter the quality of food. The onion and bell peppers need to cook longer, the enchilada looked microwaved. The meat was under seasoned. For the price the food is what I expected. The staff was very friendly and attentive.“

“What a great surprise! This small and unassuming stop has great food in a fresh, clean, well decorated atmosphhere. The ingredients seemed fresh and the food prepared to order. All of the staff was very friendly and helpful. Just be careful in the tight parking lot and you will love it.“

“Went for lunch ordered the taco plate, chicken/pork tamales and Barbacoa nachos. Nachos- meat was tender ordered with all items comes with beans. Tacos- flavorful the birria was fav. Tamales-have good portion of meat inside chicken was fav. Would go back. The salsa homemade spice different on each. No seating inside. Have space to eat outside under shade area with tables..“

“I frequently stop at this location and it has always met my expectations, The service, food and the atmosphere gives you a welcoming feeling after a long road trip.. a special thanks to the manager, I can’t say enough about Teresa, She is always making sure the customers are taken care of and satisfied…“

“DELICIOUS! I'm only sorry it took us two years to finally try it out! I look forward to bring back all I can try more of their menu!“

“In an era where customer service often feels like an afterthought, it is both refreshing and inspiring to encounter individuals who go above and beyond their responsibilities to create meaningful, positive experiences for others. My recent visit to Taco Bell stands as a testament to the impact that one dedicated employee can have. Angel Mata, a team member at the Taco Bell location I visited, transformed what I expected to be a quick, routine stop into an exceptional and memorable dining experience. This essay details how Angel’s professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail made my visit extraordinary and why individuals like him are vital to the continued success and reputation of businesses like Taco Bell.

A First Impression That Stood Out

From the moment I walked through the door, Angel Mata’s presence was impossible to overlook. Greeted with a genuine smile and an enthusiastic “Welcome to Taco Bell!” I immediately felt like more than just another customer. Angel’s demeanor was warm, approachable, and energized—traits that can often be hard to find in the fast-paced environment of quick-service restaurants. This first impression set the tone for the rest of my visit and established a level of service that exceeded my expectations.

First impressions are powerful in shaping customer perception, and Angel instinctively understood this. His friendly greeting wasn’t just performative; it felt sincere. He didn’t rush through it or deliver it robotically. Instead, he made eye contact, smiled genuinely, and took a moment to ensure I felt acknowledged. These subtle details—while small—created a sense of welcome that made a lasting impact.

Unmatched Product Knowledge and Attention to Detail

As I approached the counter to place my order, Angel demonstrated an exceptional understanding of Taco Bell’s menu, promotions, and customization options. I had several questions about vegetarian modifications, and rather than showing signs of impatience or uncertainty, Angel confidently guided me through the options. He offered creative suggestions, explained ingredient substitutions clearly, and even mentioned some lesser-known off-menu items that could suit my dietary needs.

What stood out most during this interaction was Angel’s ability to communicate in a way that was both informative and respectful. He never made me feel like I was being difficult or taking too much time. On the contrary, he treated each of my questions as valid and important, demonstrating a level of care and professionalism rarely encountered in fast food settings.

Moreover, he double-checked the modifications before sending the order to the kitchen, ensuring that everything aligned with my preferences. This level of attention to detail exemplifies the kind of customer-first mindset that every service-based business should aspire to foster.

Over all the best fast food experience in my life.“

“Love their burritos. It’s my local go to. My husband loves tacos. We both get asada which they have the seasoning down perfect. I eat here more than any other place. I can’t believe they only have 3 stars they definitely deserve five. If you’re looking for authentic Mexican food, this is your place to go. I’m leaving. Love you.“
