Family owned since 2021

Tacos with
a legacy.

Every salsa made in house, tortillas warmed to order, and a plancha that never cools down. Tacos, burritos, quesadillas and tortas — cooked the way our family has been cooking them since we opened in 2021.

Straight off the spit

El trompo

Our al pastor turns all day — pork stacked with chile adobo, crowned with a pineapple that bastes every layer as it spins. We shave it to order, straight into the tortilla.

Crisped on the plancha

Quesabirrias

Corn tortillas dipped in birria fat, griddled until the edges go crisp, folded around melted cheese and slow-braised beef. Served with a cup of consommé for dipping.

Pick your filling

Our story

A corner, a comal, a family.

Tacos El Jr started as a single cart with one trompo and a hand-painted sign. Five years later the recipes haven't moved: the same adobo, the same salsa recipes, the same insistence that everything is made when you order it.

Now the whole family works the line — and the regulars still order the same thing they ordered the first week we opened.

Salsas made from home

Every salsa on the table is ours, made in small batches every morning.

Chiles

Salsa de piña, roja, verde and de limón — all made in house every morning.

Cooked in front of you

The plancha runs all day. You watch the trompo turn, the onions hit the steel, and your order come together.
