Came here for a few drinks on Sunday, our waitress Chelsea was awesome, and we got a few apps. I forgot to take pics of those but I highly recommend the shrimp guacamole it comes with a tostada, really good, and we had chips and salsa. The salsa could use salt, but besides that it was good, and we got the bean smash which was also delicious. This place is very vegetarian/vegan friendly. Usually my partner only has 1 choice, but there were a few options vegan friendly, so he was happy to have options for once. It’s small but they have spaced out the seating, all of the drinks I tried were delicious! And they were only $11 a piece, which is a great price for signature cocktails. They close pretty early ☹️

Love the ambiance when you visit Jalisco! The Restaurants menu offers dishes with REAL flavor! I loved the Poblano soup… but the real star was salsa. I know, salsa. But if was so different. They bring three types and you pour them out at the table.

We tried out Jalisco Cantina after talking with the CEO of Wild Barrel and were not disappointed! My fiance had the garlic shrimp tacos and the carnitas tacos were recommended for me. Great choice! Our friends had the Chili Verde and shrimp yellowtail plate and it was all delicious. Their liquor menu is extensive! If you like tequila, this is the place! This is a must visit while in Oceanside!

The only reason for three stars and not one is that our service was exceptional and the overall vibe is great. The food, not so much. I ordered a corn salad. I expected more salad than corn, but I’d guess there was the equivalent of 2 cans of corn and not a whole lot of lettuce. The corn was good, but man. It was a LOT of corn. The photo is what’s left once I finished.
