I really enjoy El Jalisco and their breakfast tacos especially Papa ranchera. But with inflation prices have really gone through the roof. So only get to go once a month now. But overall service is always really good. People are very friendly and they have great food. read more

El Jalisco - Mini tacos - Mexican Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

I am only judging their breakfast tacos, the tacos are small and expensive, but they do stuff them pretty good. The tortilla flavor is OK. Size is small texture is a little bit too rubbery and not toasted enough but overall it's good for san antonio food. read more

Wonderful typical Mexican food love menudo and daily meals and drinks excellent service

Food was decent but what really upset me was the $1 up charge on the breakfast plates. On the menu it says after 10:30 there is an up charge. We ordered at 10:05 and we were done eating at 10:20. We were waiting for our two tacos that were to go and the waitress was nowhere to be seen. She finally comes at 10:28 I got to pay and it's 10:29 now. After I pay I noticed the up charge on the plates. Taking advantage of people like that is so upsetting. Yes it's just a 2 dollars but I paid before the up charge should have been added. Because of this I won't be returning because I'm not going to loose money for mediocre food read more

Ok TexMex and Seafood restaurant, but not for me. There were four of us who ordered Mexiacan enchiladas, a Mexican plate, and a couple of bean and cheese tacos. Enchiladas were very good. We even got ones with queso Fresco. Flour tortillas were a bit doughy, and the beans tasted, well, not homemade. The yellow cheese used in tacos and in other enchiladas was unually color. Salsas were too salty. The service was excellent. Unfortunately, I didn't our server's name, but she was very pleasant and patient with those at the table who "needed time". The place is clean and for the most part, welcoming. read more

All time favorite! Always consistent. Always great service! This is our regular spot. The Camarones ala Diabla are delicious, so is basically everything on the menu. read more

I go here often because their food is so fresh and delicious. Breakfast and lunch are an amazing deal. They have lunch specials every day, even the weekend. My favorite are on Tuesdays, which are green enchiladas or Pork costillitas (ribs) in a delicious sauce. The portions are huge!! The rice and beans are also really tasty. Try the chips and the different salsas. read more

I travel a lot for work, usually departing early Monday morning. This place is my stop on the way to the airport, where I'll get a couple of breakfast tacos to go and eat them in flight. The breakfast tacos are delicious. I've had bacon and egg, chorizo and egg, sausage and egg, beef fajita, chicken fajita, machacado, and bean and cheese. All delicious. I'll continue to go there read more

We come here often, but I cannot reiterate enough to y'all that this place has the best beans in town, not to mention their version of salsa verde is one of my personal favorites, and the best part is you can literally feed 3 people for $20. read more

El Jalisco - Tacos El Carbon - Mexican Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

I really enjoy eating here, breakfast , lunch or supper. The food is always fresh HOT and taste great. They serve 3 different types hot sauce to complement your food. Service is always fantastic , with them coming by numerous times to make sure you need nothing. The menudo is good and spicy and for the whole fried fish there is no where better. read more

I would go for years to this restaurant but now all of sudden the food don't taste as good as it use to and I got food poisoning

Update: yes this review was written after another horrible account this Monday am.. I just found a hair in my taco and missing cheese I paid for . Not only do I have to worry about her being rude to me now I forsure can't come because I have to worry about her doing intentional things to my order So let me start by saying I've come here for years ! I drive out of my way to come here because the food is great and the salsa is also good! I dine in prob 1-2 Sunday's a month as well. I get subpar service when dining in! So why 1 Star .? Because Everytime (2-3x a week) I come through the drive through the heavy set dark haired lady whom I've gotten into it plenty of times before because of here shitty customer service is simply NOT WORTH the good food! It's sad that it has to be this way. I'm not sure if she is prejudice against me /jealous of me. I am Spanish and Korean and speak no Spanish . But for whatever reason has a nasty attitude EVERY TIME I come through here . I have been treated very kindly by other people who work here and it's mostly been only when I dine in. This mean lady who has absolutely no customer service skills needs to be removed from the window before your business starts losing even more customers . I have multiple people I refer here and I will stop because I won't give another dollar to a business that has no care for how they are treat their loyal customers . So if you want good food but shit service then by all means come here ... if you speak no Spanish then do not come here they will treat you like an outsider and not feel bad about read more

El Jalisco - Someone have pink or red hair that works here ?? - Mexican Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Tucked away in a small business strip is this growing 'mom and pop' place that has updated and expanded their restaurant to a more noticeable, more attractive exterior that makes passers by want to stop by and check it out. Expansion has created a door through the restaurant to the other space with nice looking booths, well kept and clean. It's nice to accommodate their growth in business with more tables for all who come in. We walked in and we didn't have to wait to be seated and were taken our orders right away too, I think we came after the morning crowd so we sat down and I was so hungry I didn't get a chance to take too many pictures of what we had. There are breakfast tacos, tacos of every kind, different kind of plates, even seafood plates and shrimp cocktails! It took me a minute to study and get past wanting to ordering everything o the menu. Food is always delicious here! Yum! Can't wait to go back and try their seafood! Prices are reasonably priced with good portions. They prepare home made limeades in all sizes. My favorite! They make home made tortillas too! I'm excited about this! Can't wait to bring the family back here and spread the goodness about this business! So if your looking for a laid back place with great food selections where you can take the kids and watch sports and get rowdy about the score around the Nacogdoches area, this is the place to check out during this World Cup season! read more

El Jalisco - 'Chorizo con huevo' served with potatoes and beans - Mexican Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Great food with great prices! Having a hard time finding a spot for breakfast, this place won't disappoint.

I wanted Eddie's tacos which is about 5mins away but they were closed so we came here. I got carne guisada tacos and they were awful. No flavor, meat was tough, tortillas were not homemade and there was barely any meat in the taco. Also our drinks were never refilled. read more

Typically, this place does very well in regards to their breakfast tacos. I recently purchased 70$ worth of tacos and about all of the tacos with egg had eggshells in the taco itself!! So dangerous for kids and older folks!! Not impressed!! read more

Hole in wall taco spot. Order a side of barbacoa with any meal you will be pleased. Service can be a little slow but, the food makes up for it. Suggestions-Parking lot is small so don't think the place is to packed in. Moose Out read more

All I can say is BARBACOA!! I'm generally not a big barbacoa eater but it's absolutely amazing here. Every Sunday morning someone at my house waits in line at the drive thru so we can get some. If you aren't in the mood for a taco try their burgers. Delish! read more

Not sure why this place gets no love on Yelp. Always packed, hot fresh food, fast service, easy on the wallet, and large portions. Has all the makings of my favorite hole-in-the-wall go to Mexican restaurant. They have daily specials. The Tuesday special is costillas de puerco. So good! Try it out! Oh, and they have a drive thru, too! read more

Their Burrito al Pastor is nearly football-sized, absolutely delicious, has sour cream, and their Red sauce goes perfectly with it. They even have a drive-through order window! Chips and salsa are (I believe) made onsite and quite tasty as well with a Dr. Pepper (the unofficial drink of Texas.) A very filling meal for under $10, definitely going back for MOAR! read more
