Reviews
Private parking lot for the restaurant across the street.
They have a full bar and had a mariachi band right on the floor in front with the patrons, all singing together lol. (The hostess said it is always like this on Fridays) It reeked of Mexican authenticity inside! We go to Mexico at least a couple times a year, so I was happy to find a lot of Latin people inside eating – must be good!
I had the crab enchiladas dinner, and he had shrimp tacos. Both were really good. You could really taste the freshness. We had a cadillac and a jalapeño margarita (both doubles), and the Cadillac def had better flavor.
All staff was very attentive and pretty quick. If ever in the area again, will def be coming back!
Jalisco is a large restaurant with a big patio. It looks like they can host large parties. I was surprised to see how seafood heavy the menu was. I got the scallops, shrimp, and snapper fajitas. The flour tortillas were the absolute best part! They were super hot, nice n’ thin, and freshly made. I think they’re the best tortillas I’ve ever had. The flour tortillas are the only reason why I’m giving this place 3 stars instead of 2. The seafood had a nice, mesquite flavor, but I thought it was mainly mediocre. And my husband’s seafood molcajete was supposed to come with crab legs, but it didn’t! It wasn’t until later that the server told us that they were out of crab legs. They should have told us before when we were ordering it or before they made it to see if we wanted something else. The only upsides were that the octopus and the molcajete sauce were yummy.
The margaritas were on the much smaller side and only okay. The horchata was better. The salsa that came with the chips was flavorless. I think that’s what most of the meal was missing: flavor. Service was super slow, but friendly. Our water and chips were never refilled.
We came here because of the good reviews and were very impressed with the vibe, the food quality, the service, and the price (amazing food for reasonable prices.
The food options here are fantastic for a Mexican restaurant. They have almost every Mexican dish you can think of. No matter what you order, it comes out perfect. The meats here are char broiled and set this place apart from the competition. I ordered a Chimichanga and the flavor of the fried tortilla was accentuated by the fire flavor of the beef, mixed with the delicious beans and rice. They also have free chips and salsa. Even the chips were freshly fried and crispy.
The restaurant setting is wonderful with outdoor covered patio seating and indoor seating. There is an indoor bar as well which serves cocktails, beer, and wine. The restaurant has lots of authentic Mexican decor throughout and really feels special for the area. Parking is nearby and free, we never have trouble finding some. The servers were incredibly friendly, they spoke English and Spanish, and were attentive throughout.
If you are traveling by or visiting Watsonville, it’s worth coming here for an accurate Mexican restaurant experience prepared by people know who the cuisine intimately and use quality ingredients.
