Customer Reviews
We went El Jr Tacos based on reviewes. It is in a quiet part of town, very nice and clean. It is inside of a very nice liquor store that is very well stocked. You go in and place your order, then pay at the liquor store counter. We ordered bean and cheese burritos, I was told many years ago, if a place can't make a good bean and cheese then it probably can't make much of anything else and these folks make a killer bean and cheese burrito! Very large and tasty their salsas are also really good! We can't wait to try more of what they have to offer! The place is really nice, clean and cute. Jr. and his wife? Are super nice and told us about other things like the farmers market on Thursdays to do in the area. We will definitely be back! Also the burrito was even better the next day!!
This is an absolute GEM of a taco shop. Some of the best tacos I’ve ever had anywhere, full stop. I was visiting family in Palm desert and saw this taco place with a 5 star rating so I had to try for myself. It was worth the 35 minute drive and I wish I had more time because I would’ve eaten here any chance I got. The owner and staff are super friendly as well which is always a bonus. It’s located in a convenient store with a couple tables outside if you want to sit and eat your tacos. It’s a grab and go style counter vs a sit down restaurant. Lots of parking available. I ate tacos everyday for the 4 days I was in town and these were without a doubt, the best I had. I cannot WAIT to return
JR Tacos is my favorite spot for authentic carne asada and queso birria tacos. It always hits and I never get tired of them! Never dry and very flavorful! Their green creamy salsa is my favorite to pair with their tacos; the right amount is spice! I love this place and have been going here for lunch on my work days very often. I even had them cater for my husbands birthday and everyone loved their food. In conclusion, if you want mom and pops mexican food this is the place to go! Also the owners are husband and wife, super sweet people! ✨🇲🇽🌮
10's, 10's, 10's across the boards! The absolute best Nachos ANYWHERE. There's NO comparison with any of the others I've had in the greater Palm Springs area, NONE! It's a Mom & Pop operation that offers same day FRESHNESS every single time. I've been going since last year on the recommendation of my barber (Jeffrey) & I even bring my elderly Mother along from Palm Desert because of how much she's in love with the place too. The owners are incredibly friendly and their customer service is perfect. They were recently reviewed in glowing terms by a local publication as well. DON'T SLEEP on this place, it's as legit as they come. BRAVO El Jr....You're the BEST!!
The food is legit. No place to sit inside since it’s a liquor store, so we took our food to a nearby park. The tacos are small but really good. Spent $20 and got 5 different tacos. All were good.
