Our Guestbook
“ Two blocks from Lake Tahoe Blvd. Very nice small place with excellent food. Reasonably priced. The lady there was friendly and offered good service. Cash only. Hidden gem and I would come back each time I visit this area. ”
“ Little taqueria walking distance from our hotel. There's a few booths for eating inside. I got the carne asada burrito and my boyfriend got the spicy burrito (which lived up to its name). We both enjoyed and will remember this spot for next time. ”
“ This place is a small family owned restaurant. Food is delicious and price is very good. You would get really good food for $10-11. If you near the Heavenly Village try this place. I tried their chicken quesadilla. It was good and filled me up after snowboarding. Service is friendly. Remember to bring CASH with you. ”
“ Unassuming hole-in-the-wall Mexican in touristland south lake Village area. Prob the best Mexican we've got in town which isn't saying much, but I'm glad they're around. There's a few seats inside but service is very bare bones -- and that's fine, I'm just here to grab a bite then go crush the slopes. :) The super burritos are my go to and they're really filling for $11 cash. Reminder that it's cash-only! ”
“ I'm a frequent visitor to Lake Tahoe (at least 6x a year) and still love TJs. They've remodeled a bit, added a lovely outside patio for warmer months. It's still CASH ONLY and they're closed 2 days of the week; Wednesdays + Thursdays. On the weekends, they get BUSY so plan accordingly. Support this humble small business, your taste buds will thank you, bet on it! ”
“ First off CASH ONLY. Now that that's out of the way I can say how GREAT this place is! Everywhere in Tahoe is so expensive and underwhelming. Then I found this place! The burritos are huge! And only $10! This place is small and not fancy but clean. The service was great as the woman behind the counter are bilingual and extremely friendly. We usually order to go but always make it a point to stop here when we're in Tahoe. Again the burritos are huge and tasty! If you want some good food that won't break the bank, come here. Bring cash. ”
“ Quick, yummy, and convenient to our hotel I just crossed the street and walked in based some Yelp reviews Tacos, burritos, tortas, and beverages. Many meat options. I settled on shredded beef burrito bowl, rice, beans, lettuces, tomatoes, sour cream, and shredded cheese. I was offered spicy or tomatillo salsa. I chose tomatillo and it was the perfect addition to my meal. Items average $10 ”
“ Been coming here every-time I visit the area for about 5 years now. Just remember it is CASH ONLY!!! If you're looking for a small mom & pop shop, here's the one!!! ”
“ Have to make a stop here whenever I'm in Tahoe! I usually get the super burrito or super spicy burrito. Both are solid options and the super spicy definitely packs a punch on the spice. The reason I'm giving 3.5 stars is that they never open on time or care if there are customers standing outside waiting. We came right at opening time a few months ago and there were other people who gave up waiting and left the parking lot after waiting ~20 min past opening. They are also stingy when it comes to giving more than 1 salsa per person. ”
