Taqueria Janitzio

Phone order was estimated for 15-20 minutes. It took nearly 40 minutes from placing the order to receiving it. $15 for papas and eggs is insane. They are thieves for charging that much. Never going back again. Overpriced, slow service, cold food. Rateros por cobrar un plato de papas y huevos a $15.

So so tasty! I was in Delano yesterday for work and looking for a new spot. Saw some great reviews on this place so I decided to drop in. The restaurant is now called Taqueria Janitzio the store next door is still called Carniceria Janitzio. I went for a three taco plate with carnitas and chicken tacos. They were delicious, both meats were tender and packed with flavor. Rice and beans were good and the salsa complimented the tacos perfectly. Reasonably priced, came out pretty quick and with all that flavor it was a home run on all counts. This will definitely be a repeat lunch spot for me when I'm in the Delano area.

I am very sad the one in McFarland is no longer there but I don't mind coming to Delano for those bomb carnitas! Hands down, best carnitas in this region. Their carnitas taste like they were cooked with ancestral love. Veggies are fresh. None of that biggie in a bag stuff. Really chopped products. Remember, the carnitas. Bomb!

I called to order lunch and posole sounded good on this cold rainy Saturday. The girl was very friendly and helpful and when I asked if they had posole she said "Yes! We have it every day!" We've been coming to this place for years and I never knew this. I was so happy hear that because I love their posole and now we can get it any time, not just weekends like most places. We also got tacos al pastor for my son and a carne asada torta for my hunny. Of course I told them I needed to taste everything for research purposes and I'm happy to tell you guys everything was delicious! They gave us lots of different salsas and some pickled veggies on the side. This condiment addict was super excited to see all those goodies. They were all delicious. Give this place a try if you haven't already. It was clean inside and they're well known for their amazing carnitas. We will be back to try more of the menu...and on a weekday perhaps, for that delicious posole!

Another day on my taco quest led me to Taqueria Janitzio, not to be confused with the Carniceria next to it as they are both from the same owner. As I walk in I finally feel a hint of an AC unit, really cool and small place with 4-5 tables. As I ordered I was greeted by Mayra, and we talked about the menu. She was very knowledgeable of the menu and asked me about my past experiences in Mexican restaurants. She assured me today would be a great experience. I ordered 4 tacos, 1 tripa, 1 al pastor, 1 buche, and 1 cabeza. To my surprise Mayra made sure my taco de tripas was just the way I like them....a little fried but with chew and softness as opposed to the burnt so called tripas in other places. She also explained why I couldn't get my favorite lengua taco (which had to do with market price of tongue) and to my surprise, I did not miss the lengua taco bc the buche taco was a good or even better. It was soft and chewy with beefy flavor in the back of the palate. The Al Pastor was chunky, which was something that caught me by surprise but in a good way. The meat was tender and the spices and citrusy flavor came through. I'm sure to be back to try something new on the menu, or just to say hi to the ladies at the restaurant. Especial thanks to Maura because she was very welcoming and carried a fun food conversation with me during my visit.

Food service and ambiance is what I love about this place! But what I love the most is the people that make this establishment what it is! Beautiful!

This is another gateway to "Flavor Town, USA". So much flavor in everything that comes out of their kitchen! Asada, BOMB! Carnitas, BOMB! Lengua, BOMB! Tripas, BOMB! Burritos and tacos executed to your liking! They do everything right. Their service is top notch and restaurant is clean! The burrito of asada has so much flavor in this thing. It is filled with carne asada, beans, cabbage and pico de gallo. It's rolled up and put back on the parrilla to crisp up the tortilla! Wow! It isn't a huge burrito, I would say medium size, but doesn't cost a whole lot either. It's less than $4 for great quality! If you have a big appetite, pair with 2 or 3 tacos and a drink. You'll still walk out of here spending less than $12! Delano has a lot of gems, but don't skip this place when you're looking for a great meal!!!!!IT'S A MUST TRY!!!!

Yummy breakfast burritos! I was able to call in my order of 15 burritos ahead of time and have them picked up the following morning. COVID-19 has changed a lot of how things are done, but they were able to accommodate me. Ordered the chorizo breakfast burritos and ham breakfast burritos. They were delicious, and chorizo is made in-house from the carnicería next door.

Amazing service. Stopped in this small town on our way home to San Diego and what a !!! Food is incredible.

Had the breakfast burrito and it did not disappoint. Great taste and wrap just right, just wish a was much bigger so there's more to enjoy.
