I’m giving Jorge’s 3 stars due to the ok vibe of this restaurant and my first impression. I had expected better service but it was just blah.
The inside was very nice with eye catching decor, well lit and ample seating. It wasn’t too crowded or overwhelming. The hostess walked me towards the back of the restaurant without any friendly greeting which was a bit
off-putting. She didn’t even bother to ask if I wanted to sit at table or a booth. This minor slip up needs improvement so that the customer wants to come back.
My waiter Owen was very attentive and pleasant. He welcomed me with a warm smile and made sure I was content with my order. He gets 5 stars for his wonderful personality and attentive service.
I ordered a beef chimijanga, black beans and Mexican rice. They provide you with complimentary chips and salsa, one red salsa, and one green. The red one was delicious but the other didn’t taste good at all. My food arrived hot, A+, and Owen was consistent with my drink refills.
The atmosphere was nice, and because my visit was on Halloween, I had the pleasure of listening to some nostalgic music from Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” and the original Ghostbusters theme song and Owen’s dancing which kept me entertained.

I am new to TexMex and Jorge’s has definitely made me a real fan. The food here is incredible. My favorites are the chicken a la brasa and the brussels sprouts. I love that they offer chicharrones instead of tortilla chips. Their corn tortillas are perfection.
I ordered take out tonight and I have my first form of criticism- the picadillo tacos were so salty :’( and the tortillas were so greasy.
I will always come back but maybe I will stick to my favorites. The service is always great as well. I only took off one star for the atmosphere bc it gets pretty loud in there, unless you’re seated near the restrooms.

This place is awesome. The food is upscale, reminiscent of what I would get in Dallas or San Antonio. And it was made even more special by the amazing service we got from Carter. We’ll definitely be asking for her when we come back this Saturday with a group of friends!

So delicious and high quality! All of the food tasted phenomenal. Reminded me of authentic New Mexican style food. None of the food was too oily or greasy and appeared/tasted fresh. Service was really on top of it and quick, even offered to go drinks which was a nice touch. 10/10 recommend trying this place in Waco.

Ate there for the first time last night and it was so good we had to come back tonight. The enchiladas with chili con carne, charro beans and Spanish rice and the Palmalo margarita was the best. Will definitely return soon.

The place is nicely decorated, and the food is good.
The chips and salsas made a good first impression. We got the Tres Amigos Dip Board as an appetizer, with good queso blanco and avocado ranch dips, but our favorite was the black bean dip.
For our mains, we got the cheese enchiladas and the tacos al carbon. Both were good, with a special mention of the chili con carne on the enchiladas, which had a really rich flavor.
The service was great, and Honorio took good care of us. Overall, it’s a nice, slightly upscale place for tasty Tex-Mex food.

We arrived late afternoon on a Saturday. There was plenty of parking available. The restaurant was maybe half full, and our party of two was seated immediately.
Our friendly waitress quickly arrived to take our drink orders. We ordered a cocktail and a beer. We also received a small basket of chips and two bowls of salsa. The chips and salsa were ok, but neither stood out. She later came back to take our food order and also apologized for the drinks not having been served yet, saying the bar was behind. We thought that to be odd, since the place wasn’t too busy.
My wife ordered the Del Mar Enchalada Plate. I ordered the Tres Traditional (a three item combination plate) and asked whether the enchalada was cheese or beef. She clarified it was cheese, and I asked if I could upgrade to a beef enchalada. She said they didn’t allow substitutions. My wife then asked if I could get a beef enchalada on the side, and she replied that they didn’t serve al a carte items. So, I chose not to have anything to eat. I also canceled my cocktail, since it had not arrived yet.
My wife’s food arrived shortly thereafter. She said her Del Mar plate was good.
This was my first time for Jeorge’s, and I was looking forward to it, as we have been regular customers of the two George’s restaurants for over 20 years. I was quite disappointed that you can’t get a simple beef enchalada on a Mexican combination plate. There are too many Mexican food restaurants in town where you can get better menu options, to include a beef enchalada. It wasn’t until after we left that my wife told me her group of friends had been gere a few months earlier and had awful service. So, I suspect this will be my one and only time at Jorge’s.

The decor is very nice. Our server and management was attentive which was nice. We had enchiladas and they were good. My plate was not very hot, more warm. The guy next to us had steam coming from his. The Paloma was nice and strong! I would recommend and definitely going back!

After reading the reviews, I was suprised to get right in and be seated. Then, I found out real quick, this is not traditional Mexican food. Had a taste for enchiladas. However, there was not one dish on the menu that even resembled normal. Everything was an upscale version. Not that they did not sound good, but normal is nice, too.
The chips and salsa checked in perfect, with the salsa served warm, just the way I like it. We got the Street Corn as an appetizer. It was wonderful. The only problem pre-meal was that the drinking glasses are so small that I felt like Gulliver from Gulliver’s Travels. Probably had to have it refilled 10 times. Thank goodness that we had an excellent waitress.
For the main coarse, I got the Barbacoa Street Tacos and my wife got the shrimp cocktail. We both started off worried because we had to add salt, which we normally do not do. However, once salted, they were both really good. Didn’t like the beans from the start, but they grew on me. But, the rice they serve is green, was like none I’ve been served in a Mexican food place, and I’m not sold on it.
It was a nice dining experience, but expected more for the price. Maybe I’ll try it again, but try some of the fancier offerings.

5 stars across the board. Visiting from Orlando FL we have our fair share of Hispanic food, and this is the BEST Mexican food we’ve had. We were lucky to have Honorio as our waiter, he was absolutely amazing. Always ready to make perfect recommendations and made us feel so welcomed the entire time. His service truly elevated an already incredible meal. We’ll absolutely be back and asking for Honorio again! Outstanding experience overall.
