" Had a wonderful evening at Jackalope! The margaritas were excellent and my sister loved her nachos. We truly enjoyed the ambiance, lively and colorful, but the main dishes we picked were somewhat hit or miss. I felt the brisket could have used more seasoning. Service was beyond friendly, and that positive energy made up for any culinary flaws. I'd definitely recommend it to friends looking for a fun night out. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Jackalope with family last weekend, and it was a superb experience from start to finish. The decor was striking and cozy, making it a perfect setting for a family outing. We ordered a variety of items including the fish tacos, nachos, and their unique queso with brisket, all of which impressed us with their freshness and thoughtful seasoning. I must note that the fish tacos could use a bit more crunch, but otherwise everything was perfect. Our server was friendly and attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed. This place is definitely going to be our go-to spot for Tex-Mex cravings! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing so much about Jackalope, I took a chance and made a visit. Overall, it was quite decent! The wait was a bit long, but once seated, the staff was attentive and quick. I tried the chicken fajitas, which were flavorful, although the portion seemed a little small compared to the price, especially with the extra sides. Additionally, the ambiance was lively and fun, great for a night out with friends. I might return, but I think they can work on improving the portion sizes for better value! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had to try Jackalope after hearing so much about it, and I must say, it lived up to the hype! The menu offers a great selection of Tex-Mex dishes, and I particularly loved the queso and guacamole. The atmosphere felt like a true cantina, bustling yet cozy. The service was just okay since we waited a bit longer than expected for our food, but it was worth it when the dishes arrived hot and fresh. Overall, a very satisfying experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently visited Jackalope Tex Mex & Cantina, and it was a delightful experience! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the staff was incredibly friendly. I opted for the brisket enchiladas, which were bursting with flavor and made with fresh ingredients. The seasoning was perfect, and the side of beans complemented the meal beautifully. Highly recommend this place for anyone craving real Tex-Mex! I’ll definitely be back soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Jackalope gave me an authentic Tex-Mex experience! As a Texan living in Seattle, I was thrilled to find a place that captures the true essence of Tex-Mex cuisine. The brisket enchiladas were some of the best I’ve had outside of Texas. My only complaint was that the rice served alongside could use more seasoning. However, everything else from the chips to the salsa was perfect! The staff was incredibly welcoming and made us feel right at home. This will definitely be our new favorite spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" My friends and I decided to check out Jackalope after hearing glowing reviews on social media. Upon arrival, we were greeted by friendly staff, setting a positive tone for the evening. The margaritas were robust and delicious, a great way to start our dinner. We shared a variety of dishes, including the brisket tacos and carne asada, both of which were flavorful but not quite traditional as I expected. Overall, I enjoyed my time and would suggest this place to anyone looking for a fun dining experience with good food! " (*Curated Review*)
