We rode our bikes to El Jacalito this morning…..what a pleasant surprise. The food was amazing & the customer service was stellar. Since this was our first time there, our server described multiple offerings to a ‘t’ and was helpful as we made our decisions. The breakfast enchilada with green (white) sauce was delicious. And the white toast was worth the trip-so good. We plan to return often.

Delicious food and great service. I had a shrimp cocktail. The tortillas and chips are made in-house. They are working on an Alcohol License.

Want real authentic Mexican food, this is the spot. We come often, between the soup, menudo, burritos…it’s all good. Took parents for breakfast they provided a Mexican sweet bread with our coffee, perfect touch. It’s a little down to earth spot. The salsa is delish.

We had the chorizo and house chilaquiles both really good, I like my chilaquiles soft so these were perfect I’m pretty picky when it comes to chilaquiles this place was the best I’ve had in a long time! Sweet little spot off the 108 highway

This was our first time going to El Jacalito. They opened about 11 months ago. But we never tried it out. Boy what a mistake that was…..

We went there for breakfast my husband had the breakfast burrito and I had the omelette with bacon it was very good. Customer service was algo good she was very attentive and asking us if we needed anything this was on 1/13. The only recommendation is maybe have more breakfast options.
