    Fish tacos
    Janos J.

    Outstanding Dining Experience at El Jalisco... We've been visiting Navarre for several years and typically dined at a familiar Mexican restaurant near the bridge by Winn Dixie... which we've always enjoyed. However, this time we decided to try something new--and after reading the positive reviews for El Jalisco, we were eager to give it a shot. We arrived with a large family group and were pleasantly surprised to be seated within five minutes. The service was prompt and attentive throughout the evening. We started with three orders of cheese dip and two generous servings of freshly made guacamole--both were excellent. Everyone also enjoyed their drinks, which were well-crafted and refreshing. I ordered the Fajitas Cancun, and I was thoroughly impressed. Unlike the usual fajita dishes overloaded with green bell peppers and dry meat, this one was vibrant and flavorful--featuring a colorful mix of red, orange, yellow, and green bell peppers, along with sliced squash and mushrooms. The chicken, shrimp, and crab were all perfectly cooked and full of flavor--nothing was dry or overdone. My only minor suggestion would be to offer black beans as an option alongside refried beans. Overall, El Jalisco exceeded our expectations. It's a fantastic choice for anyone looking for quality Mexican cuisine in Navarre, and we'll absolutely be back! [Review 734] - 7th Review for 2025!

    Always love this place everytime we visit Navarre! The food is always quick, fresh, and delicious. The service is fast as well. It has lots of indoor seating and is perfect for big families/parties. I got the chimichanga platter and it was the perfect portion. My entire family loved their dishes!

    The first time we came was a pleasant experience and the food was really good. The inside is decorated really cute and their 2 for 1 beer specials are a great deal. We went again last night and our server was rude. He rushed us the entire time, acted annoyed any time we asked for something, and the food wasn't good. I had the enchilada plate, the tortillas were hard, the chicken was dry, and it came with barely any rice and beans which is weird. My husband's meal barely came with any rice and beans as well. I was in the middle of eating my dinner when the server came and asked if he could remove my plate, to which I had to explain I was still eating... he scoffed and then he came by a few minutes later with our bill even though we didn't ask for it. My friend actually then asked for another drink so he brought her that drink and a new printed out bill. We were under the impression this a sit down service type of restaurant but it seems he was trying to get us out so he could get the next table. Big piece of advice -- don't rush your patrons that are sitting at the table trying to enjoy a Friday night dinner just because you want the table freed up.

    The food and drinks are always stellar here. You can tell that they use the freshest ingredients, and prepare each dish to your request. The cocktails are wonderful and the service is friendly and top-notch.

    El Jalisco in Navarre is brand new and has been awesome! They are less than a month open and I have picked up Togo a couple of times and dined in! They have kind and awesome customer service!!! Plus, they offer military discounts! The ambiance inside is super nice! My fav part tbh! I love the open layout and the booths are HUGE! The decor is very modern and the vibe gives upscale Mexican food, especially compared to others in the area! It's a Great spot for parties. When I say huge booths, I mean like 10 ppl per booth maybe! The salsa has good flavor and has a spicy kick! Kind of unexpected and I'm glad it was there bcs I kept coming back for more! I enjoy their "create your own combo." It's great 3 for $15! The guacamole tostada is very generous and filling. The shredded chicken quesadilla is okay and the chile con carne is delicious! It's pretty salty, but delicious if you pair with your guacamole tostada. The El Jalisco Fajitas were kinda disappointing to me. I might be basic but I LOVE that sizzles appearance. The beef pieces were small and I felt like I needed a lot more flavor?! Like some type of special salsa or cilantro or something? Felt like something was missing every bite. I don't think I would get these here again. The Fish tacos were also not a hit for me. It's like chopped up pieces of mahi mahi and it needs some type of crunch. Very mid. Overall, I think this place is awesome! I would stick with the create your own combo.

    Good food, quick service. Our waitress couldn't really understand us but did well with getting help when she needed it. The place was pretty clean. They could use some things to help with sound and echo. The caso portion was small but over all the food was delicious!

    2 for 1 margaritas

    Food was excellent, service was on point. My only complaint is my husband and I had to share a single salsa for a whole basket of chips.

    The food was just ok, nothing special. If you like Tex-Mex you will like it here. The service was great. Atmosphere was nice. The corn on my husbands plate was old with brown spots, they shouldn't have put it on the plate. I wouldn't recommend the ground beef, it was very mushy and tasteless. Prices were high for the quality of food. Maybe it was a bad day.

    Mediocre food with no flavor. Margaritas tasted bland. Prices don't match quality of food or drinks.

    We ate here for dinner M, 8/31/26 our 1st night in Navarre. We enjoyed the atmosphere. It's sort of…read moreconfusing where the entrance is. When we parked we were by the outside bar area and walked through it to get to a hallway to the restaurant lobby. It must've been on the other side of the entrance because we didn't see it. You have options of an outside beach bar, indoor bar, inside restaurant, indoor restaurant seating with views of the sound/bay, or seating on the outdoor deck. We could see the view from our indoor table and it was nice. They have some warm rolls served with their in house churned butters! My gawd! I think the honey butter is my favorite but the strawberry butter was delicious too! These are a great start to the meal. We both ordered the stuffed grouper which was stuffed with the crab cake mix topped with shrimp & covered with a garlic cream sauce. It was good. Mine had some fish bones in the fillets and I could do without the stuffing. It was more mushy than I'd like but I'd order the dish again sand the stuffing or ask them to cook it outside the fish so it's not as mushy. The garlic green beans were good. They had a Woodford double oaked smoked. Old fashioned as a drink special. It was decent. They could've left the smoker top on a tad longer and definitely they need a large block ice. It was essentially a small block cube in the glass. I'd go back if we returned to the area. It was our first time in Navarre but probably won't be our last. The service was good; our server was friendly. I wish I could remember her name but she said she's traveled all a long the east coast and is from MD maybe and that their crab cakes rival those in Annapolis . That might be but not the ones in Baltimore..

But if you dine outside, it's a different experience. It's a fun spot to come especially during happy hour + sunset hour. Happy hour specials are pretty great. There is usually a live band, and the sandy area is nice to lounge in with swings and space if you have kids for them to play. But every time we have ordered food for the outdoor area, it is either the wrong order, not good, or the oysters Rockefeller showing up with spinach artichoke dip in the oyster shells and not one oyster. If you want a good dining experience, avoid ordering through the bar area outside!
