"The 120 Tacos You Must Eat Before You Die" listed Jesse's Taqueria and Bakery as one of the top tacos in Bryan/College Station, Texas

Carne Guisada, Jesse’s Taqueria and Bakery
Type: Classic Mexican
Rating: 4
Price: $4.25

"Burrito-size tortillas stay hot in a large Tupperware container as they wait to be filled with tender, well-seasoned carne guisada. The finished taco, tightly rolled in shiny foil, resembles a missile. Be careful unwrapping it later, lest the soupy contents take direct aim at your shirtfront (though even if they do, the mess is worth it)."

"Wife and I are one month into a year long trip cross N America. So far, Jesse gets top nod! We were very hungry looking for late breakfast and found this place thru Yelp . WOW. Delicious food served in a super fresh, super clean , super friendly, great atmosphere -tho you would never guess from the highway. It's one of those rare places where ALL ingredients are prepared with forethought and love and the results speak for themselves.

"Simply put: awesome! I had a chorizo breakfast taco on a homemade corn tortilla that was stuffed with fresh and deliciously seasoned ingredients enough for TWO tacos. It was huge. The refried beans were creamy and I asked for some Monterey Jack Cheese and a dollop of sour cream that made them over the top. (SIDENOTE: best Wedding Cookies ever!)" - Tina C., Katy, Texas

FAMILY RECIPES PRODUCE BEST TACOS IN CENTRAL TEXAS

It seems you can find tacos on every street corner throughout Southern and Central Texas, but Jesse’s Taqueria and Bakery is a local favorite in Bryan/College Station, Texas.

"We cook here just like we do at home – right in front of you," said Jesse Ocana, owner. “These recipes are from my dad, me and other members of my family in the valley near McAllen."

Your taste buds awaken as you watch Jesse’s wife, Karen, pull a fresh tortilla from the griddle and begin piling up the home style taco fillings right in front of you. Top it off with one of five or six of their homemade hot sauces and you will think you have been transported to the Texas valley where Jesse first learned to cook as a young boy.

Served cafeteria style, you pick and choose what you want on your breakfast tacos. While brisket is the best seller, they also have other expected fillings such as barbacoa, picadillo, fajita meats, beans, chorizo potatoes and more. Lunch specials are served Monday thru Friday.

As a bonus treat, be sure to check out the colorful wall murals painted by a friend of the Ocana family."  See More
