We were 2 adults 2 kids. they give complementary chips and salsa. mind you the salsa bowl was so small we had to ask for 3-4 refills during our dinner, which was kind of let down since you had to wait until someone either checks on you or you somehow manage to get their attention Food was good nothing extraordinary based on what we order. veggie tacos and from kids menu bean and cheese burrito and Enchiladas (somehow order got mixed up and we got cheese qusedilla instead) Drinks were good.

We were in Watsonville for a tournament and were looking for a place to have dinner. We had heard…read moregreat things about Jalisco and were excited to give it a try. The restaurant is located in a beautiful traditional building with a lot of character. I really enjoyed the ambiance and decor, which created a warm and inviting atmosphere. Even though the restaurant was busy, they were able to seat us right away. The menu was extensive, offering a wide variety of options. We started with the complimentary chips and salsa, which were both good. The salsa had a nice flavor, and the chips were fresh. We also ordered the nachos as an appetizer. For our entrees, I ordered Combo Plate #6, which included a chile verde burrito, a cheese enchilada, and a carne asada taco. We also ordered a carne asada taco plate with a cheese enchilada and a chimichanga. When the food arrived, the presentation was impressive, and the portions were very generous. Unfortunately, this is where our experience started to decline. The rice and beans were good, but the chile verde burrito was quite dry. The pork lacked tenderness and was overcooked. The cheese enchilada was decent, though not particularly memorable. The carne asada taco was also disappointing. While the tortilla was excellent and the meat was well-seasoned, the steak itself was very fatty and undercooked. In fact, no one at our table was able to finish their steak tacos because of the quality of the meat. The chimichanga was another letdown. It arrived covered in sauce like a wet burrito, which eliminated the crispy texture you would expect from a chimichanga. As a result, it became soggy and still somehow tasted dry inside. The highlight of the meal was definitely the nachos--simple, flavorful, and enjoyable. The service was also very good. Our server was attentive, regularly refilling our drinks and bringing additional chips without us having to ask. Overall, we really wanted to love this place because the atmosphere and service were excellent. Unfortunately, the food fell short of our expectations. I probably wouldn't return for dinner, but I would consider stopping by for happy hour, some nachos or appetizers, and to enjoy the ambiance.

Lack of customer service. I was in town visiting family after loosing a family member and when we…read moregot hungry someone recommended me this place. After sitting down the and ordering our food and drinks my order was wrong and they corrected the mistake right away, as of that time all the complaint I had was the unpleasant face of the waiter. 5 family members came right after we got our food and after a few mins they starting ordering their food. The waiter was having a hard time getting the order and even my cousins got frustrated and he went and go ahead order by the numbers on the menu. We waited a while and one of my nieces got her food so we assumed the rest of the food was coming after but we were wrong, we saw the waiter take food to another table. We asked about our food and she said cooks mix the ticket. About 5 mins later the waiter cabe by and then again we ask for our food and she said they were making for the other table. Finally we got another plate, incorrect order but we didn't want to say anything since we waited so long. The next order came, wrong too, it was supposed to be 2 plane sopes yet we got 2 sopes with everything, we ask to change it and repeat the order, right after another waiter brought 1 sope with beans, we said only meat, my cousin got up and explain the order at the counter and the first waiter helping us said that she can't with that table and that she was crusted and ran to the restroom, the food was for my 7year nephew which was getting upset. After that the manager, according with her, came over and tried to justified the waiter and said that she was an 18year old student, we mentioned that our nieces were too and she turn to them and told told them "but are you perfect?", she then said that the kitchen was the one that make the mistake and that she wasn't going to charge us for the last food order. She brought the check and since I wanted to leave already I was about to give my card when my niece ask me to check the check and glad I did because I was getting overcharge not only that I could tell the waiter didn't know how to take an order since she barely had anything written down but she was charging us, when we call the manager she gave us the sting eye, she later said she didn't but 3 people saw that. All I can ask is train the employees to be accountable for their mistake and teach them well. All we wanted was to get some food and enjoy the day after our loss but we ended up mad and frustrated.

Stopped by a Mexican market for breakfast burritos and honestly, solid experience overall…read more Ordered five burritos at 8:20, paid at the front counter, and we were out the door by 8:25. Super quick. At $5.25 for a breakfast burrito, it's good value, even though the burrito itself is kinda small. I got the steak and egg burrito and my whole group went with the same thing. The meat quality and quantity were pretty good for $5. I'm not a big breakfast guy, so I was fine eating just one, but if you're actually hungry, I'd say get two. It's literally just steak and eggs, nothing extra. On its own it's a little bland, but the red salsa saved it. The salsa had good heat and added the flavor the burrito needed. Small note, mine wasn't wrapped perfectly so some egg fell out. Not a huge deal, but I was eating in my car and ended up with some egg spilling. Just something to keep in mind since there's not really seating. Overall, quick, affordable, and solid for a no frills breakfast.

The food is affordable, portions are solid, and the flavor tastes homemade and authentic. The $10 super burrito is honestly one of the better deals around right now packed, filling, and actually satisfying. The burrito itself had great flavor, a good size, and definitely didn't feel skimpy. Glad they opened the second location on Main Street too. Nice to see a local spot expanding while still keeping the quality and prices reasonable.

First time trying this place since I'm from out of town. My friends live in the area so they…read moresuggested we have lunch here for our get together. The restaurant is an open space, it has a lot of seating options and since we came right when they open, they told us to sit wherever we want. We sat at one of the corners (if you want a little privacy that's the section you can choose). This is way different from all the Mexican restaurants I've been to. You have to go to the cashier and order and pay your foods at the same time. Which is a bit easier to do I guess. Then your food will be delivered to you at your table. I ordered a chicken enchilada. It's good for the price. My friends ordered different dishes and they loved it. They have clean bathrooms which is a plus. The only thing I would like to say is that the cashier that time was probably having a bad day coz she was giving us an attitude. Maybe next time, if you're going to be the face of the business, make sure you are pleasant to talk to

The server was super nice and quick with our food and drinks! The restaurant was clean and organized! Not chaotic. The food was good, not the best Mexican food I've had but pretty good! I ordered the pollo flautas and a sangria that was bigger than my head! The beans were a little salty, the chips were a little too well done (extra crunchy). Overall, it was a good experience and I'd definitely come back again and try another dish! Maybe their sushi?? Did I mention they have a couple sushi rolls on the menu?? Can't wait to try those next!
