This was our 3rd time here ( we always try a place at least 3 times ) every time we have been it has been mediocre service this time it was horrible service. We got seated, and nobody came to our table for a good 15 minutes. And then when he did come to our table, he was very rude and pushy, acted like he didn’t want to be there, serving us whenever we asked him a question about something he seemed very annoyed. Only came to our table twice had to flag somebody down to get a couple things that were forgot.And even to get our bill .. most of the food arrived cold or room temperature and very salty . But I will say if you’re looking to get drunk or tipsy. Definitely, go there and order a drink it was pretty much just all alcohol.It didn’t really have any of the flavoring of the drink.You ordered

We have frequented this location over the last year and have always had a positive experience. We have never waited to be seated, even when coming in with a larger crowd after church. The pricing is about on par for a mexican food joint. The food is always fresh and quickly brought out after ordering. I have gotten different variations of the steak each time I have went, and each time it has been good. They keep the chip bowls full, and the salsa refilled. We enjoy the fact that they have a REALLY large cheese dip on the menu, as a large family we generally always have to order a few. With this option, every one gets to dip their chips non stop! Our last visit was for a birthday with a group of 22 of us. We were sat quickly and food brought out in a timely manner. Not a single complaint from our group.

I went in around 4pm on a Tuesday.. people were spilling drinks and knocking over chairs.. I thought, those 2×1 Margaritas MUST be good, except they charge $15 for them. I informed the server I was allergic to tomatoes and I asked for salsa Verde, I was charged for it, and I found at least two tomato slices in my veggies.. the shrimp and chicken were overcooked, this was the most I’ve ever spent by myself and I always get the same thing!!! Ridiculous!!

We visited this new restaurant for the first time today! It’s been open about 4 months they said. Very nice atmosphere! Everything is so fresh, clean , & new. So lovely! Very impressive!! Not your usual decor for Mexican restaurants. I really liked it. Fun tiles & design details all around! The service was exceptional!! Everyone was very helpful & friendly. Great job!!
The menu was big but not too huge. We tried 2 new to us specials. Both were fresh & delicious! Fresh ingredients & pleasing presentation of the dishes. My husband ate his combo plate with 4 different items. I tried the Bowl with Chicken. They were both delicious!! Salsa & chips were served.
We will plan to go again during our next trip! If you are in the area, go try it. You will enjoy this Mexican restaurant!!
It’s on the main highway. In Publix shopping center. Great location too.
Fantastic!!!

First of all, I thoroughly enjoyed my experience. With all of the bad Mexican food joints that are out there, it is hard to trust the experience, and I am glad that I did.
I ordered the Borrito Loco, my wife had the El J’s Alambra, and my boys each had the kids’ quesadilla and the kids’ borrito. Everything was delicious. The meat was juicy, well seasoned, and not dried out; which is so common. My only complaint was that the rice and beans could have been seasoned better, but that just might be my own personal preferences. The shrimp was well cooked and the birria was well pulled and very flavorful.
The 2 for 1 draft beer felt like it was well worth the price and a nice accompaniment to any adult meal.
Our server, Arturo, was both knowledgeable and patient, which is always appreciated when you are trying to dine with two small children. He was attentive and responsive to our dining needs without feeling like he was hovering or being overly present.
All in all, a very pleasant dining experience and will gladly return for a round two.

I want to preface this by saying our server was great. For context, we visited Sunday when the restaurant was pretty empty. Only about two other parties were there when we arrived.
My advice to the restaurant is to take your time with the food and ensure everything is cooked properly so it arrives at the table hot. I also recommend switching to a larger container for the birria sauce, as the current portion feels skimpy. Don’t be so heavy handed with the ice in drinks.
For the churros, they should be fully coated in cinnamon sugar. Serving them with zero coating makes them very bland and sad.
The food was definitely rushed and corners were cut.

One of my favorite Mexican food places around to eat in at. Staff is always on top of things and very attentive. The atmosphere is always upbeat and fun and the food is solid.

The food was really tasty. Large portions, very flavorful. Unfortunately everything was not quite warm enough. Service was also great. Everyone was very friendly. The place is very well decorated and the seats are comfy. The bar looks really good. So I’m quite disappointed to not give them 5 stars. The reason for 3 stars overall was $14.25 for a house margarita is a rip off. 2 for the price of 1 is not a good deal if 1 is more than double the price it should be. I may go back for the food if I’m desperate but I’d much rather go down the road to Mariachis or a little further to Rio Bravo where they don’t rip you off.

Outstanding food and exceptional service! From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with warm smiles and a welcoming atmosphere. The star of the show? The Nachos El Jalisco—an appetizer in name but truly a meal in itself. Picture tender, perfectly seasoned steak, chicken, and shrimp piled high on a bed of crispy nachos, smothered in melted cheese, buttery goodness, and fresh toppings. It’s an absolute flavor explosion! Well you don’t have to, I’ve attached the photo of ours.
While I’m not a drinker, I loved seeing how they let guests sample their tap beers to find their perfect match—such a thoughtful touch.
We’re already planning our next visit. Don’t miss this gem!
