Good dishes all around. We all enjoyed what we ordered. They have several salsas to try, some with some night heat.

Okay, I’ll admit…..I was a little hesitant to try Mexican food in Montana but wow did Jalisco Cantina blow me away! The food was insanely flavorful and honestly felt like a hidden gem.
I had the carnitas tacos, which came topped with juicy grilled pineapple and a sweet honey salsa that totally hit the spot. The chips and salsas (pretty sure they’re made in-house) were addicting,crispy, fresh, and full of flavor.
To drink, I tried a hibiscus cocktail that was chef’s kiss, not too sweet, not too floral, just right.
The vibe was on point, too. Super cute outdoor seating, great ambiance, and it felt family-friendly but also like a perfect spot for a casual night out.
If you’re ever in Whitefish and craving Mexican food, go here. You won’t regret it!

The service was slow but the waitress was nice. The ceviche’s presentation was good but the flavor was over powered by the amount of lime it had. The esquite salad was good, not much corn in it but overall the dressing used was tasty. The chicken enchiladas came with black refried beans and a dirty rice. The enchiladas were tasty and I would recommend. The music was hip and up to date.

The good: delicious, tender Barbacoa meat. Tasty water.
I prefer the traditional Mexican family owned restaurant, with authentic Mexican food. The pop music did not enhance the ambience either. I also do not care about a fancy restaurant website, which says nothing concrete about the owners.
Charging for salsa is unusual and not appreciated by customers, especially if featuring a distinct plum! flavor!? Thankfully I have not come across something similar neither in Mexico nor in the US.
FYI: the restaurant name is misleading, has nothing to do with a real Mexican cantina, in which they serve small dishes for free. How do I know? Been there!

We had a really good feeling about Jalisco Cantina when we arrived, but it didn’t turn out as well. The service was kind of slow, and the music was very loud and repetitive. When our chips and salsa arrived, we soon found out that after the top few, the rest of our chips were crumbled up pieces, which was disappointing because they were really good. Once our food got to our table, we found the rice to be undercooked and the tortillas to be bland and too thick. We finished our meal and then asked for a to go container. After waiting ten minutes, it finally was given to us. We asked for a to go container because we wanted to go, not wait and wait. Overall, I would not recommend this restaurant.
Dad’s opinion: Rosa’s quality tortillas are a quarter of the cost. Montana Mexican food is not that great compared to Texas’.

The Food was mediocre and definitely didn’t scream authentic. The taquitos served were just rolled soft tacos. The salsa tasted like something you could find prepackaged at the grocery store . But the service is what made me give a 2 star (and that was generous) considering it took our waiter almost until the end of our dinner to even crack a smile. The manager walked around and greeted every table in our area but made it pretty apparent that he had no desire or intention on checking on ours. It is such a beautiful local restaurant we’ve been wanting to try for the last couple of years, but after tonight, looks like the drive to Agave in Kalispell is worth the time.

Great food and quick service. We walked in close to close thinking they might turn us away but they gladly seated us. The food was very tasty and got a lot of value for it. The carne asada tacos and the avacado tacos were very good. Highly recommend getting the black beans on the side. The rice was just okay though, nothing special but seasoned rice so I would pass on that. Guac was very good too. Highly recommend this place. The server seemed a little cold but she was quick and I didn’t have any problems.

So good we came back a second time during our stay in Whitefish! I recommend starting with a cocktail, I enjoyed the Fem Bot, and chips with guac and salsa. We tried a flight of mezcal and all three were smooth and tasty. For dinner, I had the sweet and savory carnitas as a lettuce bowl (my husband had it as tacos), it was perfectly seasoned crispy pork with small chunks of pineapple, fresh greens, and pickled onions. On our second visit, my husband had the chile rellenos with the barbacoa beef and wow was I jealous! It was delicious and we agreed it was by far the best dish we’d tried and the best version of rellenos ever. Although the place is busy, it was quick to get seated for a walk in party of two.

This is one of the rare occasions were the reviews on Google maps does not match the stars given. Building itself is gorgeous and carefully decorated. The service from Baylen J was great and attentive, the atmosphere during lunch was good and peaceful you could hold a conversation. The food on the other hand was average in one plate and phenomenal on the other. We ordered the Crema de Poblano and the Avocado tacos. The crema was out of this world good their flavors were so good we finish this in no time. The avocado tacos come with refried beans, rice and some type of slaw. The beans were bland, rice also bland, the slaw was to too the tacos and ok but fresh. One more item was their hot sauces and they were very good and pleaseant to the palate eithout been too spicy. Those house made fresh sauces were on point and will complement your meal. Overall I will recommend while in town but be warned the flavor here are more on a Mexican fusion inspired menu. Maybe we should try the dinner plates but I will say we had better from mom and pops restaurants across the U.S.
