Mi Jacalito - Vallejo

The owner is friendly, the space is spotless, and the food is incredible—it practically melts in your mouth!

This is a fantastic family-owned restaurant. The tortillas are amazing! We also tried the pupusa loco, which we highly recommend!

Upon entering, I was surprised to find that the restaurant wasn't crowded. Besides my cousin and me, there was only one other table occupied by two patrons. We were warmly greeted by a friendly gentleman at the cash register. To my delight, there was a wider variety of Latin cuisine than I had anticipated, featuring both Mexican and Salvadoran dishes, all at very reasonable prices. We ordered about 15 pupusas, two sopes, horchata, and pineapple juice, and it all came to just $60. While our food was being prepared, we enjoyed our drinks and were pleasantly surprised when the gentleman brought us chips and salsa. The salsa was exceptional, possessing the perfect amount of spice. Our order was ready within 15 minutes, and it definitely exceeded our expectations. My family, who had never tried pupusas before, absolutely loved them. The only downside was that we wished we had ordered larger drinks. If you find yourself in the area, this is a place you don't want to miss. Although it may resemble a hole-in-the-wall, the food and customer service truly speak for themselves.

I’m not sure if I’ve left a review or not before. But, I might just leave one every time. This place is amazing. Don’t even think twice just go here. Get the fried corn tamales in addition to whatever you order. Vegan vegetarian friendly. The owners are super nice and the food is incredible. Big portions and outside seating too! Thanks for the great dinner, again!!

The family that runs the restaurant are so friendly and helpful, very nice! I ordered tamales for Christmas eve, they were ready and hot when I picked them up and were delicious. Next time I will try the banana leaf tamales. Lots of parking, tables outside and a few inside. They also have wonderful looking bakery items. Some traditional Mexican pastries. Definitely try this place.
