" What a delightful experience! Being a Mexican food lover, I've visited many places, but El Jalisco stands out. The authenticity of the flavors, especially in their mole, is off the charts! It's great to see a restaurant stick to its roots. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu and suggested the best dishes. The only bummer was that parking was a bit of a hassle, but the food made it worth it. A must-try for fans of traditional cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" I celebrated my birthday here, and it was a great experience! The staff went out of their way to make it special. The margaritas were strong and the food authentic. We had a lovely time, with only a minor issue in that one appetizer came late. Overall, a fantastic establishment I would recommend to anyone! " (*Curated Review*)

" Good experience overall, but I felt the food could have been more flavored. We had the steak burrito and it was fine, but I expected a bit more kick to it. The service was great; our waiter was really attentive! The atmosphere really made the difference and kept us engaged. I'd likely return for a second chance. " (*Curated Review*)

" Made my way over to El Jalisco for some birthday celebrations! Overall, the food was wonderful! I loved the variety on the menu. I had the shrimp fajitas and they were full of taste while being beautifully presented. Our waiter was nice, but we had to wait a bit long for the check. Nonetheless, a great time, and I would highly recommend it for gatherings. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience was somewhat subpar. The restaurant had a nice atmosphere, but the birria tacos I ordered lacked flavor. Our server was pleasant but slow. Things improved a bit when I ordered a margarita. Still, I was hoping for better food overall. I might consider giving El Jalisco another chance on a less busy night. " (*Curated Review*)

" An enjoyable spot for a casual dining experience. El Jalisco’s food has always been enjoyable, but on my last visit, I tried a new dish – the queso birria – and it was fantastic! The flavors were bold and came together perfectly. Service was prompt, and the staff was friendly. I'll definitely keep coming back to try new dishes, especially with how varied the menu is! " (*Curated Review*)

" Fantastic little restaurant! The cocktails were pretty good, but the food was the real star—each dish was more flavorful than the last. I really fell hard for the tamale platter, it’s a must-try. They also provided quick service and you could tell they value customer satisfaction. I'm definitely coming back for round two! " (*Curated Review*)
