El Jalisciense - Waipahu

I was blown away by how good the tacos were here! The birria and beef tacos were so tasty and so were the quesadillas. Highly recommended to refuel after a shopping spree at Waikele Outlet stores.

I'm not one to write a bad review, but today's experience is prompting me to do so. Mind you, I have eaten here several times over the years. I ordered my husband a chicken quesadilla plate. First, he found a small fruit fly in the guacamole. At this point he was just gonna eat everything else except the guac. A few bites into the beans he found an eye lash. So he proceeded to move the beans and guac out of the way and then it happened! He found what is in the posted picture. A long, thick, black, wavy hair (we don't know if it was a pube or (hopefully) from a beard), was discovered in the guacamole. It even had the white root at the top! The strand was about 1.5 inches long!!! He threw out the plate. I hope the owner(s) see this review and talk to their cook to address this. We won't be eating here ever again.

The beef birria tacos were so good! The meat so so tender and the cheese matched so well. The tortilla was so flavorful as well. The Al pastor tacos were good as well but the birria was more memorable. The onions and lime on both added good freshness. Come on taco Tuesday for their deals!!

In the form of a Jeopardy Response: A. Excellent Mexican food offerings served from a food truck behind an Outlet Mall. Q. What is something that only happens on O 'ahu? We sampled the chicken enchiladas and tossed in a couple Al Pastor tacos for good measure. Ample portions of quality Ingredients makes El Jaliscience a great value and worth the drive from town. I liked that the enchilada sauce is not too saucy but still packs a punch of flavor. You get your choice of meats...we went with chicken and it was well executed, nicely seasoned, fresh and hot. The enchiladas are topped with guacamole and shredded chihuahua cheese. We opted to leave off the sour cream. Excellent Spanish rice and very simple frijoles, which are clearly not coming from a can accompanied. My one minor feedback would be that the frijoles needed a little salt. For me...the Al Pastor taco was the star of the show. I went with Spicy...and it was spicy! Not burn-your-taste-buds-out spicy, but not wimpy either. Service couldn 't have been friendlier and the whole ambiance of the food truck park is just charming. Plenty of seating options or you can follow that time honored O 'ahu tradition and eat in your car. Olè!

As a Mexican myself, I definitely mark this place as one of the best Mexican places on island. The food was prepared fast, it was delicious, and it was very true to what it should taste like. Overall a great experience. Se les agradezco!
