I have gone to this wonderful restaurant for the passed 5 years. Their food is always consistent and absolutely delicious! The atmosphere is always pleasant. But the servers are the most spectacular- they are friendly, helpful and kind. It makes for a very comfortable homey environment. It is worth going there for quality, quantity and flavorful food. It has the best Beef flautas made with flour tortillas ! read more

Real Mexican food. The owner works here and keeps the food moving out quickly. Good for families and celebrations. I like the Pollo con Crema. If you want a lot of food, get the combination plate. It's not fancy, it's good. read more

Always great Mexican. Whenever I visit my mom in Vero I have to make atleast one trip to eat here. read more

Ok, this is the sister restaurant for Ay Jalisco II and had dinner there last night. Same great, moderately priced food and on Monday nights the Margaritas are $2.50 and they are really, really good. Just the ones on the rocks, not the frozen ones. But, I have to admit the service at this location is nowhere near as good as Ay Jalisco II. We kept having to flag down the waitress and that always irritates me. Bottom line on this location of Ay Jalisco? Same good food, poor service. read more

I hate to write a bad review as we found this place years ago and have been fans ever since. The food is still very good...not 5 star but very good and filling. Recently though there have been some changes that will probably deter me from going back anytime soon: 1. the last 2 times we went, we requested a certain booth and a waitress (same one both times) got really angry. I am assuming she was supposed to be our waitress and this messed things up somehow. The second time she just handed us the menus at the door and huffed off. I have worked my whole life in the service industry and I was just shocked. 2. twice I have requested "no tomatoes, extra lettuce." (yes, I'm a Jersey girl and I hate tomatoes...that used to kill my father). Both times I was charged for the (iceberg) lettuce. Ok, I can deal with that even though a little strange but, here's the kicker, both time I received no extra lettuce. I have dined there often enough and I am a boring person and order the same thing almost every time so I do know. Once I received the bill with the charge, most of the meal is gone so how do I point and say, ""what extra lettuce????" Anyway, being made to feel uncomfortable because you want a certain table and being charged for something you do not receive does not make for a nice evening,. read more

Bland. The biggest problem with this place is that everything is bland. If they own any seasonings besides the salt and pepper on the tables it does not show. The only thing on my plate that seemed to have any spice on it was the cole slaw. That's right, I got cole slaw at a Mexican restaurant. I cannot confirm that it was spiced, as I did not try it. The burritos, rice, and beans that were on my plate were certainly very bland. The salsa provided when you are seated is cold and resembles a bland tomato soup more than a salsa. Everything in it is huge chunks, as "dice" is clearly not in their vocabulary. The same is true for their queso, which was, you guessed it, bland. I think both the salsa and the queso were just ingredients combined, rather than anything simmered or cooked to meld the flavors. Their chips, while not quite stale, were certainly not fresh. read more

The best Mexican restaurant in Vero Beach. Everything I have tried there has always been good. Jalisco could not be more authentic. After you try this place you will never want Taco bell again in your life! There are two restaurants in Vero one on state rd. 60 and one on Us1. I perfer the one on 60 where they first started their business. If you like to drink the one on Us1 has a full bar. Im strictly all about the food. Definitely one of my favorite restaurants! read more

My wife and I stopped in on Sunday afternoon. The food is great . Affordable Mexican cuisine with good portion sizes. The only problem here is the service. Our waiter was really trying his best, he was new and was handling every table in the restaurant. There was a woman manager there but she just sat back and let him run his laps. In a pinch this place was fine, but on our next visit to Vero Beach I will be going somewhere else. read more

Best Mexican food in Vero!!! Two locations US1 and state road 60!!! Yummo Service can be hit or miss but good food. read more

I absolutely love this place. The food is authentic, simple, but yet so delicious. I've had so many things on the menu and have never been disappointed. My girlfriend and I are pescatarian, so I can't speak for the entire menu, but the fish and veggie options are so good!! The mahi burrito, zucchini burrito, camarones arroz, tacos pescado, YUM. The chips and salsa, amazing. Get a side of guac too. $2.50 draft Coronas too! read more

Had takeout last night from here and as always was good. This is one of my town favorites. Order was more than expected. If you don't want to dine inside I suggest takeout from here. read more

I've lived in Los Angeles for 30 years and Vero beach for 25 years. And to this day Ay Jalisco Carne Asada is the Best I've ever tasted. and that Salsa yum! read more

Plain and simple the areas only mexican Restaurant I like. I highly recommend. Prices are reasonable and quality of food is real Mexican. I have had some less than attentive servers but it makes up for the food and price. read more

We ordered via Bite Squad and the order was cancelled because they were to busy to make the orders. However my daughter was charged $80 and could not get refund for 2-3 days. When she called Ay Jalisco to confirm that was the case and tell the restaurant how now she would have to wait for her money, they said nothing they could do and hung up on her. I called back to speak to a manager and was told they didn't have one. Really??? Never again will we go to them or use Bite Squad. read more

Absolutely horrible service. Wait staff are not attentive and extremely rude. Went for lunch they were dead not busy at all. Waited for ever to be seated then over 10 minutes to order a beverage. Then forever to order our food. After the food arrived our waitress just disappeared. Poof she was gone and never came back to check on us. I had to flag another waitress down to find our elusive waitress who decided to disappear. When she came I asked her to split the bill and bring us boxes. She was beyond rude!!!! Food was mediocre nothing to call home about. If your in the mood for Mexican I recommend you search elsewhere. Tip for the waitress: maybe try a different profession that doesn't involve you interacting with customers. read more

Service is hit or miss, but no denying it's awesome Tex-Mex. Try the crab enchis or the Enchiladas Durango, they will def fill you up. Wine and beer only at this location. read more

We are out of towners visiting local friends who brought us here because it's one of their favorite restaurants. After eating here, I can see why. Very good food with very good prices. All together, we had 4 adults and 5 kids. They seated us quickly and served us efficiently. The menu had lots of choices and it was tough deciding but my wife and I both had fish tacos. They were somewhat unique tasting, but they were fantastic!!! The chips and fresh salsa's were really good too. The chilled glass mugs with Negro Modelo on tap was the icing on the cake! Would love to try this again next time we're in town! read more

We were standing forever before we were greeted and seated. The chips were COLD. I ordered an enchilada, when the food came everything tasted like PLASTIC. Not once did our server check on us. Also my boyfriends food has hair on it Will not be returning read more

Best Mexican food I've had in a long time! Authentic seasoning and meat cooked to perfection. Service was fast and efficient, server wore mask properly the entire time. read more

Had dinner here for the first time. The place was very busy, so it has to be good. Well it was. The place is decorated nicely and very clean. The waiter seemed a little flustered, but he was trying his best. The food was really good as well. Price is typical for a Mexican restaurant. We will go again soon. read more

The food is usually really good, but the waitresses always seem to have an attitude with me and my mates when we eat there. All we do is sit there, talk amongst ourselves, and eat, but they always seem to be mad-dogging us. One of them even tried to withhold one of my mate's change: she deliberately double-counted a quarter and tried to keep the other one for herself, thinking he wouldn't notice. Well, he did, and he called her out on it. Love the food. Hate the shit attitude. Fix that, and we'll bump this up to a nice 5-star review. read more

Decided to stop for lunch by the fact that the parking lot was full. Thankfully we were given a table the moment we walked in. The waiter brought the chips and salsa quickly and took our drink order. The drinks came in a timely fashion and the waiter took our order and walked off. The food took about 20 to get to the table. My wife got the steak ranchero and I got the dinner combo. The steak ranchero plate was huge and for $15 a great price. I got enchilada and burrito for my combo but couldn't tell them apart. read more

I walked in and immediately knew service was going to be terrible. we called to let them know a big group was coming and they said they could accommodate yet when we showed up the hostess (my mortal enemy) looked at me and said "ya we can't do that" and walked and started folding napkins. I was very disappointed with the service but i will say my fajita burrito was fabulous and i recommend it! read more

Great Mexican restaurant with delicious plates and wonderful prices. I would definitely recommend it to anyone read more

Food was very bland, salsa sucked, they put sour cream on my food even though I told them not to, overcharged us for the margaritas, poor service, sucky food, bland and not good. read more

Really more Tex Mex than Mex Mex! Good rice and beans. The Chili Relleno was great the taco was hamburger with very little spice. Their salsa was chunky and flavorful. My wife had the seafood enchiladas and thought they were delicious with a good blend of shrimp crab and scallops. If your looking for authentic Mexican food the only thing that would fit that bill was the Tacos Al Pastor. Good service and chips and salsa read more

This place is a local favorite! There are two locations and I personally prefer the one closer to the beach in the shopping center with too jays. It's bigger and decorated more nicely. They also offer beer on tap and the other location doesn't. I absolutely love the queso dip but really anything on the menu is good. The prices are cheap and you get a lot of food! read more

This would be a 4 but... The 2.50 margaritas are Not Margaritas. By definition (I checked) Margaritas are made with tequila apparently no one told them that here. They are made with wine and therfore not a Margarita. My chorizo burrito was tasty but covered In cheese which to me is an enchilada they offer lunch special during week and a reasonable early bird every day. read more

My husband and I love Mexican food and its really hard to find authentic Mexican food. This place serves really good Mexican food and the portions are very filling. The customer service was very good and I highly recommend it! read more

great food, very reasonable, good service. highly recommended. its in the downtown area.

This restaurant has some of the worst service I've ever had. Waited 20 minutes just to order. The margaritas were all mix with no alcohol. We waited 35 minutes for our food. When we got our food, the beef was terrible like it came from a can. The chips and salsa was good, although you have a $1.29 charge to get refill. Our waiter had black under his eyes like he hadn't slept in 3 days and was on cocaine. The food was marginal. Getting the check took another 10 minutes. Completely slow and awful service. I had to get up 2 times to get our waiter's attention in the kitchen to order and to get our checks. I will never be back here. read more

wonderful --authentic --tasty--best carne asada i think i ever had. and delicious flan. will be back!

My go-to Mexican restaurant! For starters (literally, starters), the chips and salsa are incredible! Crispy chips and tasty salsa. The salsa usually has a nice kick to it, but definitely not too spicy for those who can't do a lot of spice. For me, it could be much hotter, but I have an addiction to spicy food, so... The queso is some of the best I've ever had. It has tomatoes and jalapeño in it, which adds to the already yumminess of white queso. My favorite entrees are their fajitas. I've had the veggie fajita, the shrimp fajita, and the pineapple and shrimp fajita. I highly recommend the fajitas! And, if you don't want to take my word for it, every time I'm there, there are at least four or five other fajitas coming out of the kitchen to other tables, so they definitely have a good thing going with their fajitas! As for the service, the ladies are extremely efficient and hard working. When they're swamped they still have a smile on their face and make sure you're well taken care of. Way to go, Ay Jalisco! read more

Food is always great! Look forward to my weekly night out here but service is hit or miss depends on waitress you get but hey even that is consistent. We have accepted the fact if we get a certain waitress we will be there for a while longer. read more

Really like the queso here. Always heard bad things about this place but so far no problems here!

Please do not touch your plates after they are served. It feels as if these meals are actually cooked on these glass plates. You may not be warned of the high temp. I burnt my fingers today when the plate was served. When I complained they never asked if I was ok or offered assistance. I had to ask for ice. They won't have to worry about my business anymore. Bad situation handled very poorly. read more

Have eaten at both locations, but prefer the smaller one on 20th St, it's homier. Good food, good prices and the staff are friendly and attentive. Couldn't ask for more read more

Food was really good....service was horrendous. Acted like we were doing them a favor by being there. I would recommend this restaurant for carry out, but not for a sit down dinner. Not sure if it's the same at all of the locations. read more
