First time visiting great food, awesome atmosphere, friendly staff and good service. I felt food was a little slow getting out. Definitely will be going back!

This is a place that I have been craving for Owatonna. The food is not expensive but it is wonderful and the service is OUTSTANDING. Everything I have had here was made with care and it shows. There is a lot of love put into this restaurant from the decor to the food and so on. I highly recommend any of the tacos and the Horchata (both flavors are delicious).

Taqueria Jalisco in Owatonna is hands-down one of the best spots for authentic Mexican food in the area. Every dish I’ve tried is full of flavor, fresh, and clearly made with love. The tacos especially the al pastor and birria are incredible. The staff is always welcoming and friendly, making the experience even better. It feels like a little slice of Mexico right here in Minnesota. Whether you’re dining in or grabbing takeout, you won’t be disappointed. Highly recommend!

This is honestly EVERYTHING you want in a taqueria. Welcoming hosts, delicious food and quick service. The quesabirria was a favorite amongst our kids and the flan was so good! Sadly I have no photos to share as when the food came we just devoured it lol. That's when you know it's great

Taqueria Jalisco nailed the trifecta. Food. Service. Atmosphere. I have only had amazing food every time. It is small, so maybe it will get crowded? One of the people in my crew loves the horchata. You can order carry-out. The chips are thicker than thin and fresh and not too salty. They specialize in things I have not seen anywhere else. The Princess City is blessed to have OTJ!

Probably some of the best Mexican food I have honestly had. Homemade salsas are really good. If your going to the ice cream place under it don’t. The churros and ice cream will be a better option. Probably the first real churro I have had. 10/10 will drive 45 minutes to eat again.

Wonderful service and food in a welcoming environment. My fajita taco salad was delicious and I sampled the burrito Jalisco and guacamole which were also very good. I kept meaning to stop in for lunch since they opened several months ago and I was pleased to find several familiar faces when we met the owners and staff. A true locally owned business that it will be a pleasure to support for years to come.
