We really enjoyed our meal at El Jalisco Grill- we were hungry from a road trip but the happy hour margaritas just hit right (all day happy hours on Tuesdays/Thursdays with $4 margaritas). Complimentary public parking lot. The service was great and the food was yummy! We got the street tacos - (2) el pastor, (3) asada and the taco salad. We really enjoyed it! The chips and salsa were great as well! Definitely recommend! read more

We had enchiladas and guisado... the food and margaritas were excellent. This will be a regular stop on our future Corpus trips.

Great Tex Mex flavors. Had the chicken and beef fajitas. What made this flavorful was the use of queso as the base, mixed with the juices of the meat. Great margaritas and friendly service. They also have a drive through. read more

The skinny Margherita is the bomb! The staff was so friendly and helpful with suggestions. We went tonight, Tuesday, and the place was hopping. Great portion sizes and oh so tasty! The mango habanero sauce that comes with the pineapple dish was beautiful! We even got an extra 4oz container to go! We will definitely be back! read more

We grabbed lunch here before jumping over to Port Aransas, and I'm glad we didn't miss this place. The Enchilada "Sampler" was tasty and offered a bit of all flavors. They made me a customized version of Shrimp on the Beach, and their queso blanco is to die for. (No joke! We haven't had this kind of queso since moving to Texas!) Portions and price are fantastic. This is a must stop lunch place. read more

The service was amazing, he was friendly, smiled, and was honest. He was knowledgeable and shared some recommendations as well. Water and margarita came quick. The margarita was overall good but a bit heavy in the sweet and sour, but still decent. We got the chile con queso with beef and it was good; borderline salty but well seasoned. I got the poblano shrimp and it was excellent - large portions. My husband got the Mexican plate and it was good - large portions as well. The tortillas are house made, along with the sauce. I would have preferred the flour tortillas to be a bit fluffier, but still good. We had leftovers because of the portions. Decor was nice. 3 out of 4 TVs were dim/off color, but I didn't mind because I wasn't there to watch TV. read more

Decided to visit this tiny restaurant in person on a weary Wednesday night. It's small inside, about 18 tables, very clean with TVs in every corner. The menu is huge and our waiter was very knowledgeable and helpful. We ordered a soft fajita taco plate and a picadillo taco salad. The servings were enormous! Lots to take home for lunch the next day. The fajita chicken could've used more seasoning and the beans seemed cold but otherwise tasty and more than we could comfortably eat. Total for two entrees and two teas was $33.41 before tip. We will be back! read more

Best queso! When we lived in corpus, me and my husband went probably once a week. We visited there this week while in town. Queso is still amazing. The salsa recipe has changed. Still good but the old receipt was better. The fajitas are still solid choice. read more

When i ordered my dinner I asked for chicken quesadillas but they gave me cheese quesadillas and I didn't asked that i said Chicken quesadillas. So when they bring my food I checked the order and they gave me Chicken enchiladas and the cashier said that I said that and I told her no I said chicken quesadillas like three times and also she had a very bad attitude I didn't get her name. read more

I love this place but my last 4 visits here, my tacos have come out incorrect & I never receive more than one salsa verde (despite asking for extra) I hate to give 3 stars, and they will be changed once my tacos come out right :( read more

The food was Good! The service was Okay and the ambience was really nice, looks a lot more modern than other places around. What took me off guard was the pricing for the portioning you get. Super small portions. Nonetheless, pretty good food if you have the cash to spend. Sweet tea was good and fresh (i'm a sweet tea critique). read more

Great food!! Service was efficient and really friendly!! We ordered "to go" and had plenty of leftovers! Mmm

Went here for dinner tonight. The food was between okay and good but the service was totally sub par. We ordered two margaritas and two classic steak fajita dinners. I thought it odd that to waiter asked if we wanted tortillas. I said of course, it comes with the meal, right? Anyway the margaritas were good and the fajitas came out on time. They were sizzling but the waiter didn't bring us anything to eat with. So we sit there as they sizzled out. I then went to the cashier to say "we have nothing to eat with. Two minutes later our waitress brought us knife and fork to eat our warm fajitas. However we still had no tortillas, beans or rice. Not to mention guacamole, pico de gallo or sour cream. I'd say maybe 8-10 after receiving the meat, they gave us the rest of the meal. It ruined my mood and my dinner. I only left a $2 tip and a note on the receipt. Idk if I'll ever go back but, they have to improve service, fr. I forgot to say that the flour tortillas were really tough to eat, not soft at all. read more

The food was fresh and delicious! It was easy to get a table and the server was attentive. We had the chicken flautas and the ribeye mini tacos. The flautas were hot and crispy while the chicken was flavorful and moist. The tacos came with 5, so you won't leave hungry! The ambiance was casual and medium noise level. Overall, I really enjoyed the food and would come back again. read more

This place has reliably good Mexican food. It doesn't necessarily wow you so much so that you neeeed to go back and recommend it to everyone you know, but if you go you won't be disappointed. The chilaquiles we're solid, the chips seemed homemade (or at least not from the grocery store). We also got tacos, and each that i tried was good. I remember them having a decent amount in each, too, so that probably two would be enough to satisfy someone. If you're in town and want to get some Mexican food, stop by! They have a drive through, too :) read more

Great food, great people, great service Restaurant is also clean, cool and has nice big windows and tvs with games on. Good Tejano music. Most importantly they have one of my favorite tex-mex dishes which is sour cream enchiladas. I get the chicken but you can also get beef or cheese. Thank you El Jalisco for being a nice getaway while I spend time at the Christus hospital with my sister. read more

Got home with to go order and discovered they left the toppings off of my nachos (queso & guacamole). Called back for a refund. Was told she spoke with the cooks and they put everything on the nachos. All they would do is recook them for me to pick up (I have 1 week to redeem). Just wanted a refund, not to have to drive to the restaurant again. Does this picture look like there was Guacamole & Queso on my nachos. Disappointed. read more

The 5 reviews are spot on. This place is absolutely delicious and the service is on point, friendly and engaging. Our waiter promptly acknowledged us and took our drink order. The chips crispy, salsa was good but the one in the bottle (ask for it - it's like a taco sauce) was definitely better and had much more heat kick to the palate. Wife and I both tried the tortilla soup, helluva flavorful, with a lot of shredded white chicken, flavorful broth. Definitely recommend that. Wife had the street tacos, 2 carne asada 2 pastor with rice and charro beans, grilled onions and a grilled jalapeño. The meat on both was tender and had good taste. I had the El Mexicano plate; 2 enchiladas, crispy beef taco with rice and charro beans for $11.50 and for the amount of food it's worth it. Wife and I loved the charro beans, beans clean in a delicious flavorful broth. The enchilada red sauce was fantastic with Tex-mex flavor, crispy taco meat is seasoned well and the rice is moist. Definitely recommend this place. read more

I've eaten in many Mexican restaurants in my life time. Coming to Corpus was a first for us, and we always look for a good breakfast home cooked meal and we found it.

I have been three times. The food was horrible. I took the second one back and asked for my money back, the nice lady assured me that if I gave them another chance my next meal would be free. Well they charged me anyway and the food was still horrible. Don't waste your time or money. read more

Bland food, good service, nice setting. My quesadillas were flavorless. The service was fine.

Did not have a lot of flavor. Was disappointed. Had heard it was really good. I had to "doctor" it up at home by adding more cumin, chili, garlic, onions and Jalepeno. The stuffed pineapple had mostly peppers in it and not enough of the other ingredients. My husband said "eh" about his fajitas. read more

We had the Fajitas Nortenas and the Pina Loca. Both were excellent dishes with great flavor and wonderfully presented. Neither was too spicy with great flavor and a mild bite. They were busy so we had a short wait. However the waitress lost track of us from the time we walked in until we left. Need to work on that part. Even being busy the restaurant was not that loud. Good place for couples, families and friends. Go and enjoy it. They're definitely worth the stop. We will be returning. read more

Food was okay. I ordered the birria ramen, excited to enjoy a good consumé caldo with bomb, tender birria, but they bring out a Tapatío Ramen bowl...yes, the microwave kind you buy at the grocery store! Not what I expected at all, and actually, the flavor wasnt too bad, but not worth it. They couldve at least put it in a soup bowl and pretended like they made it. My wife had the enchiladas - and they were small and bland. Chips and salsa were good. Probably wouldn't try it again. read more
