My dad got the barbocoa burrito and I got the Mar y Tierra-skirt steak and shrimp wrapped in bacon. It's funny bc I ordered well done steak and it looked burnt but it wasn't! It was really tasty as was the shrimp. A little too much salt and they forgot my tortillas. The guacamole and salsa were really really good as were the chips. They have a to go counter so it made picking up the order quick and easy. People seemed to be enjoying themselves while dining. Overall, would reccomend and would come again.

We arrived around 4 pm and there was about a 25 minute wait. It is cozy so there were people waiting outside. The decor is more modern than traditional. They have a bar and TVs. Staff are warm and friendly and our server was Dulce. It was a busy day yet she would periodically check in to see how we were doing. We ordered the table side guacamole. It was made fresh at our table and hubby added a little more salt to it. We were also served a small bowl of salsa.The chips are warm and fresh. Hubby ordered the combo fajitas and a strawberry margarita. I ordered the steak enchiladas rojas and a pina colada. Everything was seasoned well and we enjoyed our meals. Kudos to the bartender for making great drinks!

Welcoming and accommodating staff from the time you walk in until the time you walk out satisfied. Even though they're working in a small space, you won't feel like it because they don't rush you and everyone has been so patient to answer questions about dishes on the menu. This menu has the most unique tres leches cake slices because they have more than one flavor but they often sell out! :-) So get there early if you want to try their pistachio tres leches cake or their café (coffee) flavor, they're both very good! Their homemade drinks like their cold horchata and cold Jamaica are worth the trip too

Overall, the experience was solid. The consomé had good flavor, definitely one of the highlights, but felt like it was just missing that one extra layer of richness or spice to really push it over the top. Still, enjoyable. The birria meat was super tender, which we appreciated. Only downside? The cheese. There was a lot of it. Not a dealbreaker, and some folks might love that, but I personally would've liked the meat to shine a bit more instead of being smothered. Chips and queso were solid, and the tacos were satisfying. Cozy little spot near Midway, and the staff was friendly. Would I come back? Yeah, especially for a casual bite if I'm in the area again.

Jalisco has been a staple for myself for years…read more I used to work in the area and would typically go there after work at night to get my fix of Mexican food. It has been a while since I've been there but I believe they were a later night spot. Service has always been solid, people over the phones have been nice, and ultimately - the food has always been great. To me, great Mexican food always starts with great steak, and I wouldn't be coming here if they didn't have just that. Everything else falls into place after that. From decently sized burritos to hunger satisfying tortas, there is something for everyone here. The nachos are incredible and definitely something to share with someone as well from what I can remember. Can't beat a glass bottle of coke with a meal as well. I also remember how spicy the red salsa is too! Definitely a try if you're in the area :)

No suelo dejar malas críticas, pero el servicio aquí fue realmente decepcionante. Después de que nos sentamos y conseguimos nuestra comida, nadie vino ni una sola vez a ver cómo estábamos, no a preguntar cómo estaba la comida, ni a rellenar el agua, ni siquiera a ofrecer servilletas adicionales. La falta de atención hizo que toda la experiencia se sintiera apresurada y poco bienvenida. Además de eso, la comida no era tan buena. Definitivamente no volveré.

The steak was juicy and tender and the guacamole was fresh. Fries came with my entree as well. They were good. Hubby enjoyed his entree as well. Drinks are really good.

You'll find yourself paying $40 for a drink and $25 for a plate of seafood. It can seem backwards compared to a steak house or what not. The vibes are great on weekends catching a mariachi group coming in offering to play songs for money. And even if you don't pay for play,someone might and you can enjoy a song. I still don't know or even asked if they use fresh water or salt water shrimp. Most places like this use fresh water but charge salt water prices(you just have to ask/hopefully they're honest). The shrimp empanadas were ok. I wouldn't order again. The paella is alright nothing to brag about and very soggy. The champuzon was ok. Some parts of the octopus was really rubbery(as id expect is probably frozen). Oysters just do not smell the best. Overall, not my worse place. I'd say stop by try it. Do not have the highest expectations. Be cautious of what you order in mind of freshness. Sauces/salsas were good.

Anyone giving them more than one star should seriously evaluate the quality of food from other restaurants. I used to come here when I was younger, typically for a steak burrito, but I've stopped because their portions and pricing--especially for the quality--have gone completely downhill. I've given them ample opportunities, thinking they would change, but even as of yesterday (12/14/2025), it's still the worst Mexican burrito restaurant I've ever been to. Never again. BOYCOTT EL FARO. Nothing will change until they see customers stop coming in just for their drunken fix.
