This spot is a must for anyone in the area who even remotely enjoys Mexican (plus the empanadas rival most of the NYC empanadas I've enjoyed over the years; crisp spiced crusts were the highlight)!! Note: Cash Only! (There is an ATM) It's a super casual, groovy space (the "make tacos not war" neon sign says it all) with orders on one side and "pick-up" on the other. A few picnic tables and two wicker cafe tables--not really set up for a long stay (or for inclement weather). But don't let that stop you! The food... The tacos were flavorful (we had the Tres Beans-- fantastic vegetarian option!!) With the traditional corn style wrapper and sweet pickled cabbage, the sweet mild tomatillo salsa added flavor punch. And tried the chili -- it had a nice kick, but not overwhelming. A nice bowl sized portion with queso fresco on top. My husband devoured his burrito And my 5 year old ate the *entire* quesadilla! All four generously cheesy sliced. And he said "It was so yummy!" Note: I'm not sure if there is restroom access here?

Alright, listen up, taco enthusiasts! Just had a feast at Jackson Tacos, and let me tell ya, it's like a flavor explosion in your mouth that'll make your taste buds do a happy dance! First off, let's talk about that Pumpkin Carolina Reaper sauce. Whew, it's a spicy symphony with a hint of sweetness that's like a flavor rollercoaster hitting all the right notes. One dip, and I was hooked – it's like the secret weapon of taco goodness. Now, onto the braised pork taco. Juicy, succulent, and seasoned to perfection. Each bite is a journey through pork paradise, and the aroma alone is enough to make your senses do a little cha-cha. But hold on, the chicken taco is no slouch either. Juicy is an understatement – it's like biting into a flavor bomb of tender chicken bliss. The seasoning, oh man, it's like a party in your mouth that you never want to end. And let's not forget the crispy empanadas with cheese and potatoes. Imagine a golden, crunchy exterior that gives way to a cheesy, potatoey heaven inside. It's like the perfect marriage of textures – crispy on the outside, gooey on the inside. Pure bliss, my friends! I'm not exaggerating when I say everything here might just be amazing. From the tantalizing smells that hit you the moment you walk in to the explosion of flavors with every bite, Jackson Tacos has officially become my go-to taco haven. If you haven't tried it yet, you're missing out on a taco experience that's nothing short of extraordinary. #TacoHeaven #FlavorExplosion #JacksonTacosMagic

This isn't your average Mexican spot, now I will begin by saying that this is not authentic Mexican cuisine but man they are on point. The burritos are massive (see forearm for comparison) and the chili was delicious. I will definitely be coming back whenever I shop at the outlets. Food 10/10 Service 10/10 Sticker 10/10

Wow!! By far the best taco I ever ate! We ordered the steak and chicken tacos. Fresh ingredients! I wish I lived closer to be able to stop more often. We stopped after a day of skiing. If you go to Camelback, make this a "must stop"!

Small shake with big flavor. Be warned this is a cash only establishment. There is a ATM if needed. The beef and cheese empanada and spicy potato and cheese empanada are a new favorite of mine. I ordered 3 kinds of tacos! My goodness they pack flavor! Prices are spot on and service wasn’t long but everything is made to order and worth the wait. Glad I gave them a try. I came off the family resort for food and I’m glad I did

Ate here for dinner as we stayed at the nearby Waterpark and was very surprised at the food. Ordered two breaded shrimp tacos, a steak taco, pork taco, and the lobster and shrimp empanada. Everything was delicious and great. Never had lobster and shrimp empanada and that was great! Wifey really liked the steak taco and the pork taco. lil is picky as hell and he really liked the shrimp taco. Staff was very patient and super friendly. Cash only and they have outdoor seating.

Five stars they set me up real real nice. Realy good home cooking although not the most healthy. If you know what I mean, the shrimp had lots of sugar but the soup was just amazing. Best deal around
