" I have been hearing so much about this taco truck, so finally made the trip to check it out. Honestly, it was everything people say and more! The tacos were fresh, delicious, and packed with generous amounts of meat. I went for the carne asada, and wow, talk about flavor! The grilled jalapeño on the side was a fantastic addition. What surprised me was the wonderful rice; I've had some mediocre ones in the past, but this was excellent. The staff were super nice too! Can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Incredible experience at Taqueria Mi Jacalito! I have tried many Mexican spots everywhere, but this one stands out for its authentic flavors! The staff was so welcoming, treating us like family. The carne asada tacos had a perfect char and paired excellently with the zesty salsa. I also enjoyed their rice, which was perfectly cooked. The whole vibe is casual, ideal for a quick bite or to bring friends. I must thank my friends for introducing me to this gem and will surely spread the word! " (*Curated Review*)

" This little taco truck is genious! I had the pleasure of trying their al pastor tacos, and it was a delightful experience. Full of flavor and perfectly presented—I couldn’t ask for more from a taco! The staff was so friendly, and the entire vibe of the place was inviting. I must say, I’ll be dreaming about these tacos until my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" So good!! The tacos here are out of this world. I recently had the al pastor and they were juicy and beautifully spiced. The family working there is super nice, adding to the welcoming feel. I appreciate how authentic the food is; it’s just like I had in Mexico. Only downside was that the seating outside can get busy, but honestly, it’s worth it to wait for a table to enjoy these tacos. I have already made plans to come back next week! " (*Curated Review*)

" If there's one place in Socorro you can't miss, it's definitely Taqueria Mi Jacalito! I had the privilege of trying their carne asada tacos, which were perfectly seasoned and rather crave-worthy. The service was friendly, and I loved their unique approach to making every dish feel special. The only hiccup was that they did run out of certain items quickly, which is a testament to how popular they are! Overall incredible experience; highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" A hidden gem! I discovered Taqueria Mi Jacalito during a road trip and can't stop thinking about the carne asada tacos! They were some of the best I've ever had; just the right amount of flare without being overly spicy. The atmosphere felt welcoming, with friendly workers making you feel at home. If you pass through Socorro, this place should be on your list. I promised myself I would return the next time I’m in town! " (*Curated Review*)

" Just experienced the best tacos I've ever eaten! I had the barbacoa, and it was incredible—tender, spicy, and just bursting with flavor. The owners were polite and had a friendly smile giving it a homey feel. If you want authentic food, this is the place to go. There’s also a cool vibe with locals hanging out. I appreciate that there’s no pretense, just delicious tacos and good service. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a quick bite! " (*Curated Review*)
