" Jalisco & Tequila has become my favorite local Mexican restaurant. I’m someone who frequents various places, but nothing compares. The pork tacos are spectacular; they’re juicy, flavorful, and addictive! Every time I go, the staff makes me feel right at home. It can get quite busy, so be prepared for a wait, but I assure you it’s worth it. I’m looking forward to trying more of their menu items on my next visits! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had dinner here with friends, and it was an absolute delight! The flavors in every dish were spot on; each bite was bursting with authentic Mexican flavor. We ordered a variety of plates to share: tacos, enchiladas, and the torta with queso fresco. The service was prompt, and our server recommended the horchata, which was phenomenal! The ambiance was enjoyable, making it perfect for a laid-back evening. I can’t recommend this place enough; we all walked away happy and full. Definitely will return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I visit Jalisco & Tequila, I leave impressed! The variety of authentic dishes they offer always makes choosing difficult. My favorite is the quesabirria—it’s rich and savory, paired with a delightful salsa. The staff has always been friendly, welcoming you like family, which adds to the experience. I also appreciate their commitment to fresh ingredients; it shows in every bite. The setting is cozy, but when busy, it can feel a bit cramped. Please keep up the great work! I look forward to my next visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" Jalisco & Tequila is my go-to spot for a satisfying meal! I often order takeout, but every time the food arrives fresh and piping hot. The steak tacos are juicy, and I love how they give you a good portion of meat. You can tell they make everything with care and love. The service is always friendly; they make sure everything is to your liking, even over the phone. Prices are fair for what you get, and I appreciate that the quality remains consistent. Highly recommend for taco lovers! " (*Curated Review*)

" Overall, it’s a decent spot for Mexican food. I ordered the three-meat plate and felt that the variety was nice. However, some meats were overcooked which affected the flavors a bit. The service was friendly, and I appreciated how attentive they were. The pricing is reasonable, but I would have preferred a tighter focus on quality, given the hype. I might give it another go but won’t be rushing back. " (*Curated Review*)

" Went with a large group and the service was great! Our server was friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. I got the carnitas, which were melt-in-your-mouth delicious. The portion sizes were quite generous, leaving no one hungry. The place was bright and lively, making it a perfect choice for gatherings. I’ll be back to try their margaritas next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" Slightly disappointed with my latest visit. I ordered the steak burrito, but it was very bland, lacking the vibrant flavors I associate with Mexican cuisine. The chips served before the meal were fresh but didn't wow me. The staff was courteous, but there were delays in our order. The restaurant has potential, so I’m open to giving it another shot—but maybe I’ll try something different. " (*Curated Review*)
