El Taco Jalisco Mexican Restaurant

Honestly it is hands down the best Latin food in temple. The restaurant itself is a little run down, but honestly it gives it an authentic feel. The best chips and salsa. Great fajitas. And best prices too. Do yourself a favor and check it out!!!

Excellent food! Went for dinner, late-​ish. The chips and salsa were a tip off that the food would be very good. The chips were very crisp and light. The salsa was perfectly spiced and fire roasted (spicier than any I’ve had in half a dozen other central TX restaurants, but not too hot.) We decided to try the Texas Fajitas (the special that day), which were steak, chicken and shrimp, which came with good refried beans, rice, Pico de Gallo, and guacamole. .all for 6.99!!! All, very good, and served quickly.
Can’t wait to come back to try more.

Fresh tortillas are always amazing. After that this restaurant is nothing special when it comes to breakfast tacos. Head down south and you’ll find some real breakfast tacos.

The food was flavorful and nicely spiced.
Stopped in for breakfast.
The service was good and friendly.
Price was really good for the amount of food served.

I’ve been going here for years, but I guess I never got around to writing a review before for some reason. It’s easily overlooked due to its tiny size.
In short, they have the best Mexican food in Temple. Their enchiladas are perfect, whichever variety you chose, moist, flavorful and cheesy, with a sauce that compliments the flavors without overwhelming. Crispy tacos are stuffed to the brim with meat before you add the toppings the way you like them, as they are provided on the side on the plate. Rice and beans are tasty, not the bland, dry stuff you get at the typical greasy joints in the area. They have daily specials, always a bargain on the menu. The staff is very nice and attentive, never leaving you hanging waiting for a drink refill or special request, but they don’t but you to death either. They also have the best salsa around and great chips, and they will refill them any time you want more.
Great food and good value in a modest, clean location. Best in Temple, maybe best in Bell County.

Jalisco breakfast tacos are a must for my family when we are in my hometown of Temple. My wife gets grumpy if we miss on any trip home.
Sunday we ordered numerous tacos for the family on our way out of town. The tacos are nice sized. The burritos are HUGE.
I have to admit I haven’t eaten here for lunch or dinner… doesn’t matter… the breakfast is so awesome.

They breakfast tacos are amazing. Five star amazing. But lunch is soooo slow and their drive through anytime besides breakfast is a joke. So that brings down the stars in general.
Their tortillas are A-​M-​A-​Z-​I-​N-​G!

I’ve been looking for a place that serves a good Mexican breakfast ever since I was in college– this place fits the bill quite nicely. My only complaint is that I wasn’t brought more cream for my coffee when it was refilled, but that’s minor. The staff was pleasant, the prices are reasonable, and the food is good. Bonus points cuz its in my neighborhood– I can walk there if I want to!

Awesome breakfast tacos and Tex-​Mex food. I’ve been coming here for years and the flavor is very consistent and rarely ever disappoints. One condiment that I especially love is their salsa — it’s amazing. And, if you have room or have a sweet tooth, try their tres leches cake.
3.5 stars
+ Drive-​thru if you don’t feel like dining in

The food tastes delicious and the prices aren’t bad either. If only the drive thru was a little quicker, but I’ll gladly wait for the authentic taste.
