" What a delightful gem! This little restaurant packs a punch with its flavorful dishes and outstanding service. I had the shrimp tacos and they were delicious—full of vibrant spices with just the right crunch. The team here really knows how to treat their customers! I'll be sure to recommend it to anyone passing through the area. Just make sure to visit at an off-peak time if you want a more relaxed meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Jalisco is my favorite Mexican restaurant! The staff is courteous and works hard to provide excellent service. The food is superb, especially the carne asada; it’s savory and perfectly cooked. I love the fresh tortillas they serve. The bathroom could use a bit of attention, but it doesn’t stop me from loving the place. I go here frequently with friends and now every time we talk about dinner, I suggest El Jalisco! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had lunch here yesterday and it did not disappoint. I ordered the enchiladas and they were quite delicious. I appreciated how hot the food was when it arrived, plus the portion size is definitely a great value for the price. The only downside was that it took a little while to get the server's attention. But once I did, everything else went smoothly. I think I will be returning soon to try their margaritas, which I've heard are fantastic! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Jalisco Herrin has a reputation for being one of the best Mexican spots around, so I couldn't wait to try it! I went with a group on a Friday night and while the atmosphere was bustling, the service was pretty good overall. We sampled a bit of everything and I must say, their taco selection is phenomenal! The only thing that lacks is a bit more variety on the drinks menu along with the margaritas being slightly weaker than expected. But I'll certainly be coming back. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a mixed experience at El Jalisco recently. The food was tasty, especially the chicken enchiladas, but I found the service to be hit or miss. One of the servers was very attentive while another seemed a little distracted. The ambiance is cozy, which I appreciate, but the waiting time for the food felt a bit long. It's a good spot overall, but just make sure to be patient. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a very enjoyable lunch at El Jalisco! The decor is cheerful, adding to the positive vibe while I dined. I opted for the stuffed poblano peppers, which were a real treat. The flavors melded beautifully. Service was quick, with attentive staff regularly checking in on me. Overall, it was a refreshing midday meal and I will definitely be back to try more items on their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried El Jalisco for the first time and was pleasantly surprised! The portions were large, and everything we ordered tasted fresh. The only downside was the noise level; it can get pretty loud when it's busy. It took a little while to get drinks but overall the staff was friendly. Definitely worth checking out if you’re in the area. I plan to return soon. " (*Curated Review*)
