We ordered a Beef burrito plate – the meat was generous and a combination taco plate – the taco was different from other Mexican restaurant tacos I’ve tried before. Loved the salsa green & red chile and also their Jalisco Margarita ❤️

Living in NM, I do not know of a better restaurant that has amazing food and service. My wife can live on NM Spanish food and says Jalisco’s is her favorite. We own a catering business with our specialty being NM Spanish food and find Jalisco’s to be the BEST! The owner’s, I am sure take pride and have respect for their staff, it is evident Jalisco’s ownership and staff are a GREAT TEAM!

We came here because of the glowing reviews. The chips and salsa were decent and the environment was nice. Staff was also nice and attentive. Guacamole was really diluted with sour cream and didn’t really taste like guacamole. If you have a gluten sensitivity, go somewhere else. Literally everything had wheat flour, including all enchilada sauces and the rice and beans. The only thing we could order was taquitos (fried) and they were as thin as pencils and tasted like overused cooking oil. As a side, we had what they called whole beans, which was essentially boiled beans with no flavor. We were really looking forward to eating here but left very disappointed. Will never come back.

We went to this restaurant on the recommendation from a worker at the hotel we were staying at. The service was superb. The staff was all very friendly and welcoming to us. The food came out in a reasonable amount of time and was absolutely delicious. Their prices are very reasonable and the portions we got were very generous for what we paid. If I am ever back in Silver City again this definitely is a place I would visit again. If you visit it is a great place to grab something to eat. It doesn’t matter if you are by yourself or a while family coming you will not he disappointed.

Best Mexican restaurant in Silver city! There was a 20 minute wait to get in at 6:30 in the evening and we closed the restaurant down and left around 9:30, which is why the dining room looks empty in the pictures. But trust me, the place was packed just 30 minutes earlier.
The service was outstanding! At no time did they ask us to leave as they were preparing the dining room for close.
We had the chips and salsa, small combination plates, and a couple of margaritas. The food was fresh and had excellent flavor.
If you’re in downtown Silver city and you’re hungry for some good food, you cannot go wrong with Jalisco Cafe! A must try!!!

To sum up in one line: good, not great. Read on if you want the somewhat long-winded details.
Driving home to Tucson after a long road trip, I decided to stop by Silver City for some New Mexican food. The primary variety of Mexican cuisine in southern Arizona is Sonoran, and the one New Mexican restaurant near my home closed a while ago. So, I really wanted some great red and green chiles.
Upon entering the restaurant I was greeted quickly and politely. After a brief wait I was seated and my server promptly arrived and offered a drink. When she returned to take my order, I requested the beef enchiladas Christmas style, shorthand for the popular combination of both red and green sauces. Her response surprised me; “They won’t do that,” she said. “They don’t like the way it looks.” I found that quite bizarre, but begrudgingly ordered the plate with red (reportedly spicier) and added a side of the green. She also offered the usual chips and salsa which, despite being listed for purchase on the menu, were included with the meal at no added charge.
The chips, freshly made, were very good. This may seem trivial, but I’ve had some really lousy chips over the years. The salsa was a bit bland and watery for my taste. The main event, the enchilada plate, was just a bit disappointing. I found the red chile rather bland, lacking both the complexity of flavor and the heat that a mature red sauce should offer. The green was actually more flavorful but entirely burn-free. The rice and beans were fine.
In the end, I left a bit dispirited. The place has charm, and the service was very good. But the food should be the star of the show and, sadly, fell short of my expectations given all the glowing reviews.

The food was really good. The wait wasn’t too long and the service was great. Highly recommend.

Obviously, the highest ranked and best Mexican place in Silver City. It is turning into somewhat of a Tourist trap, and can get ridiculously crowded, but deserves the accolades.
I dislike the parking, awkward spots up the hill, not enough spots on the street.
Kinda annoying they dont take reservations, considering they can get very busy with crowds in the waiting room.
