La Jarochita Pop-Up - Wichita

La Jarochita Pop-Up on 21st Street has taken Wichita by storm with their massive, authentic street tacos featuring carnitas, barbacoa, lamb, and al pastor cooked on a traditional vertical spit. This magical taco stand offers an authentic Mexican street experience with everything prepared fresh in front of customers, including handmade tortillas. Each taco is generously sized – ‘about the length of the container and stuffed with as much meat as possible’ – offering exceptional value at around $2-3 per taco. Their specialties include slow-cooked lamb barbacoa and perfectly seasoned carnitas, with complimentary consommé served to diners. The al pastor, cooked on a traditional trompo spit, has become particularly popular among Wichita taco enthusiasts. Customers describe the experience as ‘magical from start to finish’ with incredibly friendly staff and energy. The flavor is described as ‘indescribably good,’ with many customers immediately returning for seconds. Operating Friday through Sunday with extended weekend hours, La Jarochita brings authentic Mexican street food culture to Kansas with giant pot consommé and traditional preparation methods.
