★★★★★ 5.0 Kelley Jorgensen · Feb 2026

Authentic as heck. Great service great food great atmosphere. I love the hand painted mural and papel picado. Sooo much color and joy and thought went into the space you can tell! I had 2 vegetarian arepas (not on the menu but they were so kind and made them special for me!) they were SO GOOD and huge (I could only eat one) and like obviously homemade. They had a telenovela on which just made it feel like I was transported to Mexico.

Wow, Taqueria El Jarocho is authentic, tasty, and super affordable! You have to get the Quesabirra, it was excellent. I couldn't believe the prices for the quality of food. Great service and I will definitely come again soon.

Ever since I moved back from the Twin Cities and have been missing good latin cuisine. This place is as authentic as it gets. I ordered the Torta Jarocha with Al Pastor. The BEST torta I have ever had. The chicarrons were so good with their salsas. Brookings is lucky to have this place.

If there's more authentic Mexican in Brookings, holler. Tacos de lengua- very solid with traditional garnish. Quesabirra was also super yummy with deep rich consomme. Mssg to the operators tho- Get Chips, porfa. Its really odd u don't, to me? Especially when the guac was sooo rocking. Great stuff all around

The tacos that come in the corn tortillas have quite small portion sizes. I’m a man who can eat quite a bit and ended up ordering “again” after I finished my first meal. Food review All of the small tacos included onion, lime, a radish slice, and cilantro. Taco asada: the chopped steak was of moderate quality. Average asada. It was simple in a good way. Taco buche. Buche is pig stomach. It was good! The texture was kind of like eating semi delicate pieces of a rubber glove sliced into squares if the gloves were an eighth inch thick. The taste isn’t crazy or overt or anything. Simple and it doesn’t stand out at all. Faint lower note taste, similar to mushrooms but only a third as mild. Taco tripe. This is fried cow intestine. It was very very similar to crispy fried pork belly! Tasted v
