⭐️⭐️ 2/5 — Street Tacos Missed the Mark
Stopped into Jesse’s Fajitas N Rita’s in Kaufman for lunch and ordered their Street Tacos. Honestly? Not worth it.
For $12+ during lunch, I expected at least the basics — rice, beans, something to round out the plate. Instead, I got six tiny street-sized tacos with barely any meat, barely any cilantro or onion, and almost no sauce. The tortillas tasted and felt like they’d been microwaved straight from a package — they were sticking together and had that unmistakable pre-packaged texture.
Portion-wise and quality-wise, it just didn’t hit the mark. At this price point? Do better.
This was my first visit, and honestly, not a great first impression. I’ll give them another chance in the future and update my review if things improve, but as of now… disappointed.

Thisnplace was very tasty! FRESH WARM Chips and Salsa to order. Flavorful starter soups and appetizers. The fajitas here are delicious. Plenty of protein options. The staff and waitress les were very attentive, not even allowing the salas to run low before them coming by and refilling.
I had the Carne Asada laying on top of an bed of sweet onions with a serano chill on top as garnish.
My Date had the amazingly flavorful Salmon enchiladas. Definitely a MUST order plate!
We both shared the CUP Chicken Soup. Came with real chunks of chicken and hearty thick-cut veggies.
A must try if you’re in the area!!

Pretty good spot. Portions are a bit small for the money, but we left full, so I won’t hold that against them.
The fajitas had good flavor. The beef was tender, chicken juicy, and the shrimp… Precooked frozen with seasoning dumped on it.
Everything else was good, salsa unique… Queso delicious.
Our waitress was pretty good. I did knock one star because at least five or six staff looked right at us when we walked in, but it took a good ten minutes for us to be ackntand sat. (They weren’t busy).
Overall.pretty good place I would recommend if you want some texmex.

The food was acceptable. Servings are not large. Margaritas were good but very very expensive for what you got. Service we got was good. The place is very pleasant. Note: I have previously had a great meal here. Have been here about 4 times and the food has been average with one meal that was excellent and filling, the shrimp tacos.

My wife and I have been to Jesse’s numerous times and have always loved it. Their salsa is fantastic and fajitas are always good. But last night we wanted to try something different and shouldn’t have. I ordered the chicken fajita tacos and was sorely disappointed. Literally two small tortillas with a small amount of chicken in them, that was it, nothing else. My wife ordered a chicken fajita salad and barely had any chicken it. The waitress was very friendly but when asked for more napkins, she forgot twice, drink and salsa refills weren’t going to happen. Could have just been an off night I guess. Next time we’ll stick with the fajitas and get the order to go

Really good food that is cooked to order. Everyone agreed that the queso is one of the best that we’ve had. I’ve tried the quesidillas and the double bogie burger and the were both delicious. Warning: The margaritas are STRONG. This is my wife’s new favorite Mexican restaurant so I’m sure we will be back often. I’m sure that has nothing to do with the strength of the margaritas…

I’ve been here quite a few times and tried several dishes and all of them have been delicious. Service is friendly and the atmosphere is nice.

While in town for a long weekend getaway, my wife and I stopped here for try their fare.
We ordered the both ordered the carne asada. Both of our dishes arrived as ordered and were phenomenal. Steak was perfectly cooked, perfectly portioned and delicious. Served with a copious side of rice, beans and tortillas, Jesse’s definitely lived up to the hype.
The service was great 5/5 and the bathrooms were clean.
5/5 will return!

10/10 recommended. We come here so often that I even included Jesse’s in my vows! “I promise to never turn down a date to Jesse’s on the condition I get at least one margarita” I’m not kidding. Any chance we get to go out to eat 9/10 times we choose Jesse’s! The staff is incredible & I don’t think I’ve ever gone to a restaurant where the owner has been there EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. to greet you at the door. I cannot stress enough how wonderful this restaurant is.

The food was good. The price was adequate. The service was okay/ acceptable. The atmosphere was bland with white with black light fixtures and no art on the walls. Instead of ramekins for bowls for salsa, you get disposable to-go style portion cups for it which couples with the non-linen one-use napkins. I would have thought a new place would have done a better job at making the essentials more upscale but this is not the case.
