We are on vacation on St. george Island. We have gone here every year for 5 years for spring break. We needed a break from seafood so we drove over to Eastpoint. It was a cool looking store. Pretty big. We waited for 20 minutes, as a party of 8 even though there were tables open. The chips and salsa were delicious. When we got our food, we all ordered rice. The rice was delicious. The reason this is 4 stars is because the amount of rice (and beans) we all got was UNBELIEVABLE. I (as a 12 year old girl) got rice and beacons with tortillas to make my own burrito. I promise you, I took 4 bites and my food was gone. I was starving at the end. Everyone else agreed that there was not a lot of rice. But, I'm sure that this might have just been today, and others might not have had this trouble. (Considering that one of the reviews said they could share a whole plate) I would recommend this place for kids. There is a huge menu as well Edit: Forgot to mention my food was cold. My parents were hot. read more

I have been in this restaurant more times than we have been in Florida! A must go to when visiting the area. They have plenty of space for a fairly big sized party and, plenty of space for the smaller sized parties also. When ordering, the waitstaff uses all 6 senses to make sure your last bite of food is great. I ordered the Enchilada Trio and inhaled my plate; truth be told, I don't think I even tasted the chicken in my enchiladas, because I inhaled them so fast, that's how good they were! ENJOY. Side note: they do add gratuity to large party tickets. read more

Food. No flavor on anything steak. I had 3 different plates, 3 different days. Everything is just plain and bland.

Garbage. Bad food, bad service, not clean. Save yourself the frustration and find someplace else to eat. read more

The atmosphere was very welcoming, and the service was outstanding. We enjoyed the food, and there was plenty of it. We could have shared a single plate. We recommend El Jalisco and are looking forward to our next visit. read more

Thought we would take a break from seafood and have a little Mexican food, which we love. We went mid afternoon and there were very few customers. That didn't keep the service from being less than good. Don't go during a soccer game because that's what they're watching. Then one order was totally wrong. There is a difference between chicken and beef. The food was cool when it was served and it was so-so. We won't be trying that restaurant again. read more

We love this El Jalisco especially for breakfast. Pricing is great compared to most places. The food is always fast hot and fresh. I also love their happy hour is 11am-6pm. The breakfast fajita goulash skillet is my go to! read more

Great Mexican restaurant! Generous servings of delicious food. Service is awesome. Pet friendly patio. read more

El Jalisco - Huge Margaritas! Tasty - Mexican Near Me - Eastpoint, Florida

Not sure why anyone wouldn't give this place 5 stars? This is standard Mexican place, but the food is great! I ate here for both dinner and breakfast. I had the Poblano Relleno for dinner. I wish I had taken a picture! It wasn't the standard stuffed peppers covered in cheese and over baked. It came in a Hot stone bowl and the peppers were draped over the edge like a flower. The bowl was full of shrimp, peppers & onions. Delicious!! Breakfast is standard American fare, but they do have a couple Tex-Mex options. Service was quick and attentive both times! The booths are high backed so your not staring at everyone else (or the opposite) and the music is not blasting like most Mexican places. read more

Probably the best restaurant in Eastpoint. Shrimp fajitas were solid. Could not find any breakfast joint here except this place. All the other restaurants that stated they were open for breakfast were either closed or appeared closed. The parking lot here was full at 10am. The service is also good, always friendly. Never had breakfast at a Mexican restaurant before but they have it dialed in. read more

We ate here twice on our recent trip to St. George Island. Margaritas were pretty good, but the food was even better. Between my husband and I on these visits, we had the chimichangas (good), the ChorioPollo (good), and the Chicken de la Crème, I believe it's called. THIS IS THE ONE TO ORDER. I cannot emphasize this enough. It isn't covered in the queso that you're used to. It's SMOTHERED in some sort of cheesy, gooey, stringy, thick, warm, white cream. You'll go home from your beach vacation and dream about the gorgeous sunrises on Saint George and this cream. Trust me. read more

El Jalisco - Marg. - Mexican Near Me - Eastpoint, Florida

I was in the mood for a delicious dessert and was not disappointed! Fried ice cream coated with almond slivers, whipped cream and three piping hot churros that were to die for. Sorry that I was so anxious to dig in that I didn't take a pic beforehand. Service has always been great here. Typical Mexican style restaurant with bright colors and a southwestern flare. They also have a pretty good breakfast here as well. read more

El Jalisco - A half eaten dessert because I was being a pig and could not wait to get a good pic! - Mexican Near Me - Eastpoint, Florida

Love this place for breakfast. They advertise American breakfast which is true and well done. Business owner is involved and the restaurant is well run. Servers are friendly and helpful. this is our go to breakfast place whenever we come to this area read more

Well back here again after a long while. Ordered meal off menu and a coffee, got my ticket and meal is priced $1.20 more. At register i told them they overcharged me by the menu price. The girl wasn't sure what to do! Another came by and deducted the coffee. Bill is now $7.54, I give a $20, she gives me $12 and they start talking. I'm waiting for the rest of my change and ask her for it. The other gets very indignant and puts a dollar in my hand. "Just go, just go, keep the change" I try telling them they only need to change the price on the menu so it's correct! "Just go and have a good day"! Kinda useless the drama!! Haha! So simple just to correct the menu price!! read more

The food is mid first off ok y'all need more seasoning in the kitchen I live in eastpoint so I come here often for a quick meal with my husband I am white and my husband is Cuban ok I get that the Spanish women y'all hire probably want a good tip but there not going to get it by smiling at my husband and just staring him down I would appreciate it if they had better customer service and even when it's not busy they do take long it pisses me off when these women look at my husband and smile at him and stare and then look at each other and laugh I bout punched her in her face ok and I'm very respectful anyways please just let them know to stop that like it's weird one of these days I'm going to go crazy other than that the men here are great talk to my husband normal and make nice conversation with him read more

I think the last breakfast I enjoyed at a Mexican Restaurant was actually in Mexico, although I chose a traditional breakfast here at El Jalisco the decor and service immediately had me wishing I had chosen a tortilla instead of a biscuit. This part of Florida still hasn't fully recovered from Hurricane Michael (October 10, 2018 - Cat 5) but these are resilient people and they have made great progress in putting it all back together. The restaurant businesses are still struggling to fully get back and like most areas there are "now hiring" signs everywhere. This restaurant seemed to be fully staffed, for all I know the entire staff could of been family and friends whatever the case may be this crew was working their tails off especially since it's one of the few open for breakfast service and it was pretty busy. I didn't exactly find this place by happenstance - the night before we were having dinner at a different restaurant and struck up a conversation with a deputy sheriff who was picking up her to go order, we ask for a recommendation and she immediately suggested this place. We walked in and were immediately seated and given menus - I noticed the menu showed they served Coca-Cola Products but they converted to Pepsi so I got a Mountain Dew - yes soda for breakfast although I was craving a cup of good strong coffee, being pretty observant I noticed they only had non-dairy coffee-mate on the table and that convinced me I wanted a carbonated beverage because I'm of the opinion all restaurants should offer ultra-pasteurized half & half. The service here was good although getting the check at the end of the meal was a little challenging especially if you plan to pay at the table, I found standing at the counter is effective. The Food Get the pork chop, even better get two. The hash browns were good and they were crispy. The eggs were cooked correctly we had scrambled and over-medium. The ham was good but I recommend the pork chops. Biscuits vs Toast - get the toast (they have smuckers Concord grape jelly) or get tortillas. Sausage Gravy - I ordered a side it was corn starch shiny unfortunately I didn't care for it but you may love it, too each his own. $19.90 plus tip (I call this a bargain)... read more

Service and tacos were butt cheeks. Asked for a drink twice finally just walked in the kitchen and go it myself. They weren't even busy. I will repeat tacos were absolute butt cheeks! read more

Food was mediocre. One item was I had chicken fajitas and was worst I have had. They cooked the onions and peppers but the chicken was not cooked as usual with the veggies but simple piece of grilled chicken laid on top. Now my friend who had combo of steak, shrimp and chicken got his chicken cooked with sauce and veggies. But was really bad was our service. Our server seemed more interested in hanging out at cash register. Has to wait awhile to get orders - she did not speak clear English. Friend got bean dip and we had to remind her of our spinach dip which was more queso than spinach. Had to ask passing server for more chips. Had to ask another server for corn tortillas I ordered vs flour I ordered. Never got our water refilled. After cleaning our table had to yell for attention to get tickets. Once we got to cashier with 4 guys standing there and no one acknowledged us until 5 person came up. 2 years ago we stopped here and all was great including my review but after today will not stop again. read more

It gave me food poisoning And somehow the bun is wet, but everything else on the burger is dry read more

Ok the food is decent but the staff sucks. Walked in and no one greeted us. There were a bunch of employees sitting at a table eating food and talking super loud, like literally yelling. We were finally seated and were brought chips and salsa (also property decent tasting) but the girl who brought it basically threw them down. When we said thank you she didn't say a thing. Then shortly after than she started sweeping the floor with a broom. Dust was being kicked up. I almost got up and told her that was completely rude and unacceptable. I just felt the place was "dirty" after experiencing that. Maybe they don't know better. It was completely gross to me no matter how the food tastes. I can only imagine what the kitchen is like. Steer clear of this place. read more

Very good! I overlooked the rude man on the phone, ONLY because the food is good!. We visited this area twice there aren't many good places to eat. This has become our go too read more

Stopped for breakfast. This not a TexMex restaurant. They cater mainly to locals no breakfast tacos here. But if you want grits with your huevos ranchero this is your place. Food was quick and good. Service was a little slow starting but was also good. They have outside tables and are dog friendly. read more

Outstanding food! I had the Burrito El Jalisco lunch special. The chips were warm and fresh. Didn't make it for breakfast. Will have to come back for that! Two for one margaritas at lunch. Dog friendly patio. read more

We had a dinner here recently. During the ten days we stayed on the island this was by far our most economical meal. We paid about the same as we would at a Mexican restaurant that wasn't in a tourist area. The inside of the restaurant looked just like that have hundreds of other Mexican restaurants and that was just fine with us. Not every restaurant near the ocean has to be decorated with fish paintings and seagulls statues. The food came out very quickly and was good, but not spectacular. It was a bit on the bland side. The service was competent, but not enthusiastic. Our server obviously wanted to be somewhere else. The next time we are in the area I'm sure we will have at least one meal here. It was good. read more

Before I start, the food was great and was not at all the problem. However, our server provided arguably the worst service I have ever received across the entire of the southeast that I have traveled to. As a server myself, I have never been to a restaurant where I was not once provided an itemized bill prior to paying. Other tables received a checkbook, however we were told to pay up front but were not provided a check. Upon going upfront, he proceeded to run our credit card before providing an itemized bill prior, and we did not receive one after. The prices on the menu reflected that our bill should've been around $65 accounting for tax and rounding up a bit for safe measure, however our bill was $72 and did not add up. On top of this, we were not once checked on our entire time. Our drinks, chips, and anything else you could think of ran out and was bone dry and there was not a server in sight. However, it was not very busy and there was no excusable reason for the service provided. We paid our bill without making a huge scene, but if you are in the area I would absolutely recommend traveling further to a better restaurant. Server to server, absolute shame to treat your tables like this when you rely on tips to make your living. Do better. read more

We were starving because the place we thought we would eat at was closed and it was getting late. El Jalisco was open and we found a parking place. I had not researched it ahead of time (unusual for me) but we have it a shot. So glad we did! It's not the best I've ever had in my life, but it was very good! Big points for the meats - the beef was not swimming in grease and the chicken was tender (not mushy) and all was flavorful. Each weekday, two of the lunch specials are discounted and that's a real bargain. Chips were hot and the salsa came out in a small carafe with two separate dishes so we had our own! That was a nice touch. Service was less than stellar - we didn't see our waitress after we got our food. She did seem to have a lot of tables, but no one came by to check on us and we had to go find her for our check. Otherwise it was a pleasant surprise! read more

Great service and nice staff. Food is delicious!!! Breakfast choices are classic American breakfast fare, eggs pancakes etc.... Lunch and dinner are classic Mexican fare. Everything is delicious and prices are fair. What more could you want? read more

Lots of wait staff poor service food was average. The breakfast is good but the Mexican food not so much.

The people here are not friendly. What ever happened to good customer service! Ordered to go fajitas told him instead of flour tortillas I wanted corn tortillas. My order was ignored did not get my corn tortillas. I'm not going back. Thank you. read more

Wonderful food. Great staff and service. Friendly atmosphere. Reasonable prices. Their American breakfast is excellent. Good place to eat.

If you enjoy Mexican, then this is the place to go. Large variety menu, well crafted cocktails, prompt and cordial service.

My family's been coming here for years during our annual beach vacation and always has a great experience! The menu has a wide variety of options and the drinks (+ drink specials!) are fantastic. The staff is friendly, service is very fast, and the prices can't be beat! Definitely a must-try!!! read more

This place was good got the sandwich with bacon and cheese and steak for breakfast and hash brown on the side the place is really like Waffle House lol. read more

Don't judge this place by the outside. Breakfast was great each time we've been here. Fluffy eggs and pancakes all cooked to perfection.

I came here on vacation as a last resort, but it was excellent! Our server was very understanding and friendly despite somewhat of a language barrier, and he made sure we had everything we needed. The coffee was hot and delicious, and they gave us plenty of refills for free despite the menu saying no refills. I ordered 4 pancakes and it was a good sized portion for 7$. I liked that they had warm syrup and honey available for the pancakes also. My grandparents both got the shrimp omelette, and they could not stop raving about it. Overall this was a wonderful breakfast, if you are skeptical about it like I was, you might be pleasantly surprised. read more

Very clean and friendly staff. Food as very good and fresh. I am all about the chips and salsa which were very good. Would visit again when in the area. read more

As a tourist, it felt like my Mexican restaurant at home. However, the food was visually plain, but, good. For instance, my husband ordered a burrito and expected rice and beans on the side. It was inside his burrito. I ordered street tacos with carnitas and they had a special sauce that made up for the lettuce and cheese. I ordered a "Swirl Margarita " . It was a lime margarita swirled with sangria. It was very good! read more

The food is fantastic and the service is good. We just always have to wait forever for the bill. The breakfast is amazing too!!

Careful with the tower margs...they will sneak up on you. Very tasty place and welcoming staff.
