Our first time here. We stopped in today to satisfy a craving for Caldo de Res. Found the pictures posted looking pretty appealing. We were greeted when we entered and was told to take a seat anywhere. Just a minute later our server greeted us and with chips and salsa. We Added a large order of guacamole to that. They have a pretty extensive menu with a lot of typical choices. We ordered Caldo de Res, The Shertz Combo Meal and the Fried Fish Dinner. The salsa for the chips is mild and very tasty. Good addition and kids would like it too. The guacamole was blended, good flavor but I got an occasional pepper that was overly hot. So I ended up picking through the guacamole. According to my Wife, the Caldo was the best she has had in a long time. Cuddos for the Chef. Our son said the fried fish was exactly how he imagined it and it was served with a healthy portion of fries. My Shertz Combo plate looked appetizing and it was. Each item had its own distinctive flavor and was tasty. The only thing to knock about the dinner, would be to include a knife with the meal instead of having to ask for it. Although our server was very accommodating. The other knock is the beef puffy taco was a bit oily which soaked the taco and it fell apart about half way through. We all would order exactly what we had again without question. Our server was very accommodating and pleasant to talk with. We are looking forward to our next meal there. Maybe one of the Lunch specials or even the 3 taco special served before 10:30 am…. I will post again how our next meal will be. Here is the menu and pictures from March 2023.

I walked in hangry at around 6:30 pm on a Saturday evening. Although I’ve been here before for breakfast tacos, this is the first time I had dinner here. I was surprised how slow they were because this place has been known to be very popular, and get very busy. The chips tasted fresh and crispy, and the red salsa wasn’t too spicy, which is okay for this white boy from Pennsylvania. And I enjoyed everything about the chicken quesadilla plate. I have nothing to complain about, hence the reason why I’m giving them five stars.

First time I was extremely disappointed since I backed up and hit the light pole. No bueno! Beast now has a scratch!

Great people but food not what I expected for Jalisco. I won’t be back. Migas tacos is supposed to have tomatoes, onions, Jalapeños and cilantro. Cheddar is better than Velveeta on tacos.

I had a really difficult time rating this restaurant. I will never again send my boyfriend out to get Mexican food. Before he headed out he read off the menu at Jalisco’s and as soon as I heard Milanesa I instantly thought of my mother’s and decided to order that. He comes back with a meal with what looked like to be chicken Katsu with a side of French fries, salad, and rice.

I don’t know how they classify this to be a 100% Mexican restaurant. I was better off spending my money at Taco Bell. The food had no seasoning I’ve never in all my life ordered a gordita and when I get it, it has cheddar cheese instead of fresco like what type of joke is that? There nachos was so depressing look like they spread more shredded yellow cheese an tossed it into the microwave to make it Melt like wow I can make this ghetto nachos at the house for all that that’s sad that a Taco Bell will taste better then this.. I don’t recommend no one to ever come here find a better Mexican restaurant around and there horchata had no flavor tasted watered down

Great food, great staff . Always friendly and food is good. My tacos we’re nicely stuff , and bacon was tasty. Highly recommend it. Parking isn’t the greatest, but the restaurant makes up for it.

People who have posted 5 stars are obviously blind and have bland taste buds. Must think Taco Bell is authentic. Avoid at all costs. Beware of HAIR in food. Previous visit found hair on plate. Employees (cooks) don’t where hair nets, gloves or masks. This visit sat down and waited too long just to get noticed for any service. . No pride in food presentation. Plus found another hair in my food to go plate.

I got an order of beef enchiladas to go. Enchiladas were nice and hot and had a great taste. Alos, I order charro beans in place of the refried beans. Very flavorful.
