We come to El Jarrito all the time, and it never disappoints. The fajitas and the quality of the meat are absolutely excellent—perfectly cooked, flavorful, and always consistent. Honestly, whatever you order is delicious, you really can’t go wrong here.
Another big plus is the super fast service. No matter how busy it is, the food comes out very quickly, which makes the experience even better. The atmosphere is authentic, local, and welcoming, not like a chain restaurant at all—just a great, genuine Mexican spot.
Highly recommended. This is definitely one of our favorite places in Katy

My grandma and I have been eating here for almost two years now and I forgot to leave a review for this restaraunt. Since our time here, Alfredo is who we always ask for. Alfredo is super nice to us and has an amazing attitude every time we see him. The food is always good for the both of us. Lately we’ve been getting the same thing except for this time we both got the grilled fish plate.

Checked, out El Jarrito after a recommendation while visiting Houston for the weekend. Ordered the Melon Margarita w/Shrimp Tacos. The drink hit the spot while the tacos were ok. The presentation was more like a burrito than tacos, so I ended up just eating the shrimp. Service was great & we enjoyed the atmosphere.

This place has the best beef fajitas I’ve ever had. The wife and I drive an hour away for them. The fajitas are tender, juicy and hot. Bonus: they hit the table within 10 minutes of sitting down. 10/10 recommend this place

It’s genuinely become one of my go-to spots, and for so many fantastic reasons!
First off, its location is just perfect; it’s so convenient But honestly, every single dish I’ve ever had has been consistently and always served perfectly hot.
And let’s talk about the service – it’s always top-notch! The staff are genuinely so friendly and incredibly attentive. They always seem to know what you need before you even ask, which really makes you feel welcomed and well looked after.
It definitely has that lovely family restaurant feel, so you can comfortably bring along even the youngest members. They have the sand box for kids to play
Oh, and you absolutely *have* to check out their patio area!
I really can’t recommend it enough!

Loved this restaurant! Now our family favorite Mexican place, it’s as close as it gets to authentic Mexican. Most other places it’s all Tex-Mex flavor. This restaurant dishes flavors are close to authentic Mexican dishes flavors I’ve had in Mexico.

Update: Went back on a Thursday evening and this time I ordered enchiladas Verdes…..much much better! Also got the table side guacamole, which was fresh and delicious! Our server was busy, but attentive. Also the restaurant was a bit less busy and the music wasn’t so loud this visit, so I could hear the conversation at my table. Overall much better experience. Probably best to go on weeknights and avoid on busy weekend nights.
Original review:
Visually a very cool place, but it was far too loud to hear the person right next to you. My dish (one of the combination plates) was rather bland. The server was nice, but at the end of our meal he was no where to be found and we had to wait a ridiculous amount of time to get our check. I think he literally forgot we were still there.

Absolutely one of the best in town. Friendly faces with excellent service. The food was cooked to perfection and fajitas were extremely tender with excellent flavor. Definitely I recommend it and will be back!
