“ The food is very tasty and the quantity is also good. I had chicken arroz con pollo( mix of chicken breast, fried vegetables and cheeze sauce) and i really liked it. Icecream is good but churros are fresh, hot and crispy. ”
“ Literally the best Mexican food I’ve ever eaten in 65 years....even while living in Southern California! Amazing Peach Margaritas too...BOGO no less! Highly recommend them! Will be back! ”
“ Great food and great service, we will definitely be back to try more! ”
“ Our waitress was perfect! Everytime we come we ask for her. She is very attentive, friendly polite and just a beautiful person! The food is always fresh and we always enjoy our visit. ”
“ We ordered the nachos, fajitas, and quesadilla. All very tasty and good portion size. We also tried the pomegranate and classic margarita. Very refreshing. Our server spoke little English but, she was so sweet. I really wanted to try a few other things but, got too full. We went during lunch on Saturday, usually packed for dinner so we were pleasantly surprised that it wasn't for lunch. We've tried several Mexican restaurants and El Jalisco is one of the better ones. ”
“ The service was great. Leslie was very informative, which made our choices easy. The food was delicious we will return ”
“ Absolutely loved it! From the 2 for 1 margaritas to the table side guacamole to pineapple filled with deliciousness --everything was fantastic! Service was wonderful too! ”
“ I love this place, I have gone to the one on Monroe a few times but this was my first time going to this location. The interior was so nice and a slightly different vibe from the other location which is nice. The service was great I love the free chips and salsa. Also I love their salsa it’s so good and there’s a nice spice to it. I ordered the Enchiladas and they let me swap out the bean one for chicken. They have very large portions for not a ton of money it’s totally worth it. ”
