“Gracias a Taqueria Jamay por la deliciosa comida! Todo estuvo muy rico y ya sabemos dónde ir para nuestra próxima fiesta! Las rajas en crema con elote de verdad es riquísimo y recomendó!”
“Los tacos están buenos. El servicio fue bueno. Lluege sin nunca ver provado aquí y si me gustaron los tacos de asada. Como adentro y me dieron limones y chetos con mi orden de 2 tacos. Prove la salsa Roja y verde las dos son buenas pero me gusto mas la verde. The tacos are good. The service was good. Without ever having tried here and I did like the tacos de asada. I ate inside and they gave me lemons and chips with my order of 2 tacos. I tried the red and green sauce, both are good but I liked the green one better.”
“The food was quick and very good. They gave jalapeño peppers and the horchata was big. Very good tacos. We ate them before we can take a pic but here is the horchata.”
“The chicken tacos I ordered were pretty good. Service was fast and quick. The only reason I didn’t find them a 5 was because I didn’t like the sauce it came with. I guess they don’t have green sauce but that would have been a better choice than what I got which was some red sauce.”
“I just tried their chorizo breakfast burrito with the red hot sauce and IT WAS AMAZING!!!! I told myself on the first bite that i would only eat half for breakfast and the other half for lunch haha! Yeah right. Wishful thinking. I ate that burrito in 2 minutes! Cant wait to go back”
