If you're looking for authentic Mexican food, you've found it!!
The fajitas Jalisco are large enough for at least three people. I was shocked at the amount of sizzling food that was presented when it arrived. The service was good and brief, which is also a plus. The atmosphere is definitely fun and actually has a certain air of "Class". I have to also add that the pork in the Jalisco was exceptionally good. Blended with the spices of the Chorizo and the slight bite of shrimp it makes for a great combination. The bar looked very inviting but I chose not to imbibe on this particular occasion.
My friend and I were having a girls day of shopping and of course lunch. We both had Margaritas. She had the Strawberry Margarita on ice and I had the traditional and they were excellent. The traditional margarita mix was a bit sweeter than I personally prefer but was pretty good. The food was fantastic, and the server was excellent. The atmosphere was okay. We were seated near a table with a baby estimated age (a year) that was screaming and when two adults get away to have lunch that isn’t ideal. I know that table availability is sometimes limited but we would have enjoyed a quieter space to converse and catchup. The establishment was clean and the experience overall was good.
This place is good. The chips here have a nice good crunch and they aren't too thick. The cooking is always good. My favorite is the shrimp chimichanga, and the waiter let me order it without rice, so having the ability to make requests is also really good. The drinks are always good as well, and they're always careful to refill the drinks. I only had one bad time where I got sick later into the next day after eating there, but that was years ago.
Great authentic Mexican foos at an amazing price! The restaurant was clean and the staff was friendly. The lunch menu is fairly diverse, although the portions were slightly smaller than expected. The food was prepared correctly and tasted amazing. We look forward to going back again soon. There is something for everyone!
