Tacos La Potranca De Jalisco

The truth is I ordered a super burito and I thought I ordered a taco

While King City isn’t often the destination for travelers on the 101, it’s a SUPER common and convenient pit stop for travel between the Bay Area and the Central Coast. There are only a handful of exits in town (if you don’t like stoplights, it’s almost perfect! and if you’re jonesing for a little bit of comida Mexicana during your pit stop, well, friends, you’re in luck. If you want it fast, fresh, freaking delicious and fairly priced, Tacos la Potranca de Jalisco is your one stop shop to fill your belly and get back on the road to wherever you’re going. I stumbled upon the restaurant years ago upon the recommendation of a coworker. When I arrived at lunch time I saw a Los Angeles county jail bus, CalFire fire engine and Park Service ranger vehicle parked out front and was super encouraged — especially by the LA deputies. They could eat anywhere on their long drive back to LA, and they’re chose here. The menu is simple (tacos, burritos, quesadillas, tortas and sopes with the usual assortment of meats, as well as a good selection of drinks — including awesome champurrado during the winter! I’ve had pretty much everything on the menu over the years, and my go-to choices are veggie burritos, lengua quesadillas and pollo tacos. I haven’t tried the tripas, but that’s probably just my inner (and outer! gringo shining through. I was resistant to lengua at first, too, and now’s it at the top of my list, and Potranca’s is top notch! The salsa verde is absolutely fantastic, and if they sold it by the gallon I’d buy it and bring it home. My only ‘gripe’ is that they don’t have chips or guac… but it’s a small place and a fryer takes up a lotta room and time to keep clean and stuff. The staff is great, from Francisco down, and they’re running a tight and consistent ship. There are a couple tables outside if you want to eat there, and whether you stick around or bail, I bet you’re gonna be satisfied. There’s plenty of parking, too! Vegetarian options: Great veggie burritos and quesadillas with amazing salsa options!

So happy we decided to stop for some tacos and a burrito. The owner was there and was the nicest and kindest man. I tried ordering chicken but they ran out of chicken because they just did a big order for the firefighters fighting a bush fire nearby. However, the owner immediately said they’d work on it and got me my chicken burrito. He also gave us these delicious cinnamon milk refreshing drinks for free. The food was authentic and the service was even better. If you see this review, we are very thankful for your kind service and delicious food!

Good tacos ,had pastor tacos $3 something cents dnt remember, but very generous portion of meat. I'm a big appetite, 3 tacos and a horchata drink , hit the spot. Best horchata I've had in the salinas valley. The Jamaica was a lil bit bitter,should added a lil sugar, would of bn fine ? ? ? Parking: Parking for truckers

On a long late drive with the UCSB college kid and her teen sister as a helper, we were amazed on discovering the excellent, inexpensive street tacos here on a late Sunday. Nearing 10 p.m., we didn't expect anything open other than fast food. The outdoor walk up counter provided some really great, quality, well seasoned street tacos. The included side of pickled carrots and grilled jalapeño was a nice touch. Even the pickled carrot slices were perfect. This time we had the 4 Asada, 1Al Pastor and 1 Pollo. Plenty to eat with change on a $20. This one is going to be a regular stop.
