Wow, the smell of wood burning roasted meats got my attention! So much so, that after I got fuel at Costco, I turned back in the wrong direction to check it out. And it was totally worth it! Two taco plate (grilled chicken and carne asada) with rice and beans washed down with a Mexican coke - deeeeeelicious! Each taco had fresh salsa, avocado and cotija on double corn tasted tortillas. The beans were flecked with tiny charred pieces of carne asada and bits of cotija topped the delicious piping hot rice. I've been dreaming about how to get back there again this week...seriously! Great value, super fresh and spicy pickled jalapeños and carrots kicked it up a notch. Total was $13 and some change. Tiny parking lot shared with the Mercado so get there early as there's only 2 tables on the patio;)

My wife and I stopped by here for a quick bite to eat during lunch time. This was my first time here and I heard good things about the restaurant so I wanted to try it out. The restaurant is sort of small with a few tables and a bench outside. I ordered the carne asada tacos and a carne asada super burrito with no beans, extra cheese, and sour cream. I ordered to go but ate one of my tacos there before I left. My taco was tender and very flavorful. The staff was very friendly and the wait wasn't very long at all. The prices were decent as well. I recommend this taqueria if you're in the area. 7.5/10.0

We wanted some authentic hearty carne asada burritos, so the bf drove down Middlefield to find any random taquerias without relying on Yelp! Being the Yelp addict I am, I was hesitant but obliged, his treat! We found a tiny shopping plaza filled with grocery store, couple of taquerias, and a few Mexican food trucks just parked there. We knew something is legit around here. I chose this place because the name El Jarochito sounded promising. It's a tiny restaurant with only a few tables and only two customers dining in. Their super burrito was pretty affordable, I think it was $8 to $9. Both super carne asada burritos plus a regular horchata came out to $19. That is pretty cheap for this area. The worker spoke Spanish to us with some English, he was incredibly friendly. I said YES to picante! I could not WAIT! Went home to eat and saw that our burritos were HUGE. I ate less than half but omg, it was flavorful and delicious. The meat was well flavored and there was so much in the burrito from rice to cheese to lettuce to tomatoes. Plus it was spicy! I don't think I've had a spicy burrito before without adding on extra sauces. It exceeded our expectations and I was glad the bf forced me to try new things spontaneously. Only 13 reviews on Yelp? I'm coming back here to try their tacos!
