We have been coming here for years now and the quality of food and service never changes, it's always spot on. Today is no exception and a bowl of Menudo for today's lunch. Perfect for a day when it's a little chilly outside! This is probably one of my favorite dishes here cause it's packed with flavor and best part is the pigs foot! read more

Great, fast service! Was greeted by a very nice young lady, food was wonderful, and it's definately our new spot!

They offer a military discount; although, unfortunately was not made aware until after my payment went through, even though was still waiting on my order, (sidebar: my payment had literally just gone through, although it had been finalized), and unfortunately the restaurant did not honor their 10% military discount. Not sure how to feel about this, considering payment had already been completed, but I still feel like they could have easily cancelled my payment & simply recharged me, especially since my order was more than $65. Although part of me feels like that's EXACTLY why they chose not to honor it, which is a shame, in my opinion. But who knows, maybe the cashier & literally any other employee working @ the time, we're all unaware how to cancel initial payment, & redo transaction @ the discounted price, or literally just provide a refund for the extra 10% I ended up paying. ‍‍‍ read more

Cute spot, very clean, and friendly employees. We came for dinner and felt like the prices were fair. We ordered two barbacoa burritos, one Barbacoa plate, and one beef fajita burrito. The barbacoa was delicious, the beef fajita meat was good but not great. The chips and salsa were warm and yummy. Very happy with our dinner and would definitely come back when in the Schertz or New Braunfels area. read more

So, this is my second visit to this restaurant. The staff is friendly and the cheese enchiladas are so good. I tried the beef fajitas this time and they were tasty. The only reason I'm not giving this visit five stars is because the menu said the enchiladas were $2.75 but we were charged $11. That was outrageous. Obviously we didn't get the plate with the rice, beans and salad with it. So, essentially we bought four plates for two people! We may never go back again due to this. read more

Very tasty! Good service! Green chili chicken enchiladas are wonderful!! Beef tacos are simple but full of flavor!

Been homesick and craving authentic mexican food, pozole specifically. I was glad to see they put hominy in their pozole because many places don't (that's blasphemy honestly). The broth was just perfect as was the meat. Their tortilla chips tasted homemade. Service was quick and friendly and the restaurant was clean. read more

We love this tacqueria for so many reasons. The food is authentic TexMex, and always delicious. Pozole and menudo are available all times of day. The tortillas are made fresh, in-house every day, and just like mom made. The serving staff hustles to keep the restaurant clean and tables ready for customers. They are universally friendly and service oriented. The dining area, while not fancy, is pretty much what one expects at a better neighborhood tacqueria. The furniture is clean, well- maintained, and comfortable. My family and I have no problem recommending this restaurant to anyone who asks. read more

This what I would call a hole in the wall is a local favorite. We have been coming here for a while when they had mariachis on Sunday. This was before Covid, now they don't have them but it was still amazing to be there. I had the two eggs and pancake plate. It was amazing. I added some salsa to the eggs potatoes and bacon. Did I fat kid myself and make a pancake taco? Maybe. Should you judge me for it. Yeah. My dad had the huevos nortenos. And he loves it. This is the place where he gets his barbacoa. We added some pico de gallo and it was perfect. The waitstaff was super quick with our order. Even the hostess was helping out where she could. A great time was had by all. (Don't judge the pancake tacos, it's not bad) read more

Been eating here since 2018, price changes aside their breakfast tacos never miss which is what i always go for. Free chips and salsa are a great plus everytime with friendly waitresses. The atmosphere is nice and clean. I have heard from people i've gone with that the normal meals can be a bit lacking though. Highly recommend their breakfast tacos over somewhere like taco cabana, the price and size it worth it, support local businesses! read more

The restaurant is small but clean. Service is great. Food is fresh and hot.. . Their chicken crispy taco has to be the best I have ever eaten. The chicken is seasoned and juicy. Will definitely visit again. read more

Food was good. Especially el caldo de camaron with verduras was DELICIOUS. Me and my family come to eat here for breakfast or for meals sometimes. The ambiance was good, it was calming and like tex-mex style. Service was okay, the server was really nice and welcoming the only con I can see was that it took a bit long for out food to be served. Other than that it was amazing. PLEASE if you come here try the caldo de camaron ITS DElISOUS and (pro tip: add rice in the caldo taste even better) but its amazing would recomend. I would come back :3 read more

1st timer. Pros: staff was awesome. Asado taco was great. Bacon & egg taco was good! Ambiance was great. Well appointed inside. Cons: Chicharon & egg was dry. Flour tortillas were tasty but small for the price. They forgot to pack the cilantro & onion. read more

This place has decent breakfast tacos. I went for dinner for the first time. This was a mistake. I had the tampequena plate. The steak was super tough and tasteless. I love a cheese enchilada but theirs just tastes bad. Even the rice had an off putting flavor. I tossed most of it. read more

Grabbed breakfast with my family here on the weekend. I believe the management has changed in the last few years, but the staff is amazing. We were greeted by everyone when we walked in and the waitress was so kind to my 2 year old that wanted to order for herself (haha) We arrived earlier in the morning so it wasn't too crowded, but by the time we were leaving you could see the tables were filling up fast! Food was excellent, my daughter plowed through her bean and cheese tacos and then ate some of my plate. Also one of the last places in town with reasonable prices! We will be back to support local read more

So I've been going here for breakfast for quite some time. The food is amazing. But the cooks can't read apparently. I would call in for my taco order. And they would frequently forget to put cheese on my tacos. The last time I ordered a bean and cheese with bacon. Charged .81 cents for bacon. It was missing the bacon and cold. That was it for me. I will probably go in and eat sometime soon but I won't get anything to go. read more

This restaurant sometimes has delicious food. I noticed last Sunday when we stopped to eat breakfast that coffee and tea are now $3.45 a cup. When coffee is made they make a lot off coffee for pennies and the same for tea. I think this outrageous for a cup of coffee or ice tea! read more

Simply amazing and authentic Mexican food! I was craving Mexican food for a late lunch so me and my husband decided to give this place a try. The inside is simple with plenty of seating and the staff were friendly. We were hungry and both ordered the al pastor plates. While we waited we enjoyed munching on the chips and fresh salsa. Our plates came pretty quick and were large portions of roasted pork, rice, nopales, and beans. We were also given fresh, hot tortillas to go along with the meal. The pork was tender and super flavorful. The nopales were delicious and balanced out the pork well. The rice and beans were both super flavorful and I enjoyed having the different flavors all in one meal. I loved that the plate also had onion, cilantro, lettuce, and avocado for us to take tacos with the pork. The green salsa served with the meal was delicious and quite spicy. We enjoyed every bite and finished the meal so full. The plates were only a little over $10 each (with military discount) which was amazing! 10/10 we will be back! read more

Their food prices changes from the menu to when you get ready to pay. Had to correct them on the correct amount. Keep a mental note of what the total is without tax and compare that to what they charged. Also, their receipts just has a bunch of numbers with no food descriptions which makes it harder to know what they are charging you. Pros-Food isn't bad Cons: They need to update their register to show what you ordered and match menu prices. read more

Breakfast tacos done right! I love places that have the 3 for $3.00 menu...guess damn inflation hit my breakfast tacos too. They raised it to $4.15. But they came through on the flavor! Plenty of napkins and salsas in my to go bag. Didn't even need the salt and pepper. In and out service. I will definitely be back! read more

This is the first time we visited this restaurant. We came here for breakfast. I had the Ranchero Eggs and bacon and my husband the Barbacoa. Both were very delicious. This place reminded me of the many Mexican restaurants located on the South side of San Antonio which has one of the best in town. The one thing that was disappointing was that there was only one slice of bacon. read more

Tacos are always amazing and made quick! I would definitely recommend to anyone new to the area or hasn't tried it

I've lived in Cibolo for 4 years and always see the parking lot full so decided to try it today. I thought it was some hole in the wall. It's actually rly nice and clean inside. The waitresses were sweet and friendly. Service was fast for a Saturday morning. The food was pretty good too. I was surprised by the mixed reviews. A lot of the comments said poor service and rude waitresses. Today that was not the case. read more

This is a no frills Mexican food spot. No complains about the food or the service. My only concern was the fact that my legs were literally stuck to the wood booth seats when I tried to get up. My sister said her clothing was stuck to the chair as well. Wood gets tacky when it accumulates dirt, grime, food stuff on it. Food is cheap. The lemonade is good. The food isn't bad either. Next time I will sit on a chair and not a booth though. read more

They were both really good! The papas rancheras was spicier than the bacon but delicious, not too spicy. I would eat there again. The service was fast and nice. We went about 11:00 and only a few people were there. read more

We got there around 830 and waitress told me she could not serve us that they don't serve anyone after 8:30. The sign on the door states they close at 9 but no mention of them not serving anyone after 8:30. read more

Slow service even when almost empty. Seems like inexperienced staff. My server focused more on behind the counter tasks instead of tables. If you get paid by tips I think it'd be common sense to take care of your customers first. Food was ok still getting used to this Tex - Mex style: nothing like the real Mexican food I'm used to but it's Texas so oh well. Probably won't be back. read more

*response to owner. Why would I secretly message you instead of posting for everyone to see? I want people to know what we experienced. Also, many restaurants in the area serve ALL TYPES of customers and can keep their restaurants spotless. This has nothing to do with students or military, of which my husband serves. The owner just took an opportunity here to advertise their app and not truly address the issues. * We visited last week for an early dinner,1730, and were the only table in the restaurant. Upon entering I was skeptical but sometimes those hole in the wall places are the best. We chose to sit in a booth and they were DIRRRRRRTY. Crumbs and dust all in them. Seeing as we were the only people in there that means there was plenty of time for cleaning. The women's bathroom is also very dirty. The border on the floor is peeled off the wall a few feet and looks molded. This will be the reason why we don't return. If the dining and bathroom isn't clean lord knows what the kitchen looked like. Our server wasn't attentive. I asked for a refill on chips and salsa. After ten minutes I finally went up to the counter and asked someone else for a refill. I don't understand why it took so long to get a refill with us being the only customers. Anywho, I got the basic tacos with beans. Let me tell you their bean "soup" was AMAZING! I was expecting my beans to be a side of refried beans but it turned out to be an amazing soup. I would order that to-go for sure. The tacos were bland. Wouldn't order again. My husband ordered the beef enchiladas and loved them. Salsa was ok wish it were spicier. Overall it was ok. Would I recommend it? No. Not if cleanliness is a priority for you. read more

I'm giving this place 5 stars strictly on their chorizo and egg (with refried beans and cheese) breakfast burrito For only $4.50. One of the best breakfast burritos I've had, and I've been all over this country. read more

When in doubt, order up some bean and cheese tacos. They're delicious, and super cheap. And their tortillas are pretty damn good, way better than Taco Cabana's or any other chain restaurant's. Add their green salsa and BAM! So good. Even though the very same bean and cheese tacos I adore gave me food poisoning once, I still cannot help but love them. Everything else I've tried has been a'iight. Edible, but they gave me the ever-so-familiar Mexican food stomach ache. I'm a little weary to try anything else on the menu. I work across the street from this place, and my co-workers are never not eating El Jalisco tacos! hahah read more

Why the fake "cheese"? Most of their food is good. I especially like the Tacos al Carbon. The thing that I don't understand is that they use fake cheese in almost everything that should have cheese. I got the Schertz Plate, and there was fake orange "cheese" inside the enchiladas, in the puffy taco, and on the chalupa. Why??? If it weren't for the excessive use of plastic "cheese", their food would be great! Please, for the love of all that is holy, use real cheese!!!!!!! read more

I thought I reviewed this place but I guess not. I co worker told me about this location in Schertz when I asked about street tacos. I ordered the street tacos and enchiladas. The food was ready by the time I arrived which was about 15 minutes. Everything was delicious!! I really liked the beans and the street tacos had lots of flavor. I have been back twice since my first visit. read more

Two and done; El Jalisco Mexican Restaurant #2 by papa John 3009, Schertz I don't go out for breakfast that often just the occasional one or two tacos will fill me up, or even just a McDonald's sausage and egg biscuit with multiple cups of coffee. I wanted to keep it around $6, and usually I love the pancake breakfast plate with the two huge applewood-smoked pieces of bacon at the other Jalisco's on 78, but I had this Vision that I wanted real good coffee and super flavorful and spicy real Jalisco's style food, so I opted for this place knowing I've been here once before to get a Carne taco and I knew they made strong Folgers coffee. The coffee was about the best part of my meal and the service of course. They kept feeling my coffee off about every 5 minutes whether I ask for it or not. These gals are excellent... I ordered huevos rancheros with a pork chop because I wanted a little meat. The pork chop had great flavor but was overdone and dry. The beans were well pureed but flavorless. The eggs ordered sunny side up came out nearly Raw with complete runny whites, not even partially cooked. I know it's hard to cook a sunny side up egg but it looks so nice. Las Palapas does a great job. I should have ordered over easy. That way they would have been cooked partially the whites. The potatoes were done well but bland. The ranchero sauce was watery and Bland. The salsa was good and well pureed but zero spice. My bill was $10.45. had I knew I was going to spend over 7 I would have opted to go to Grumpy's for the first time which I wanted to and spend in the same price range for huge portions. For real non gringo appeased spicy, seasoned Mexican food I was hoping not to have to go to Nacogdoches Road and find a consistent place around Cibolo Schertz or Seguin. This place here reminds me of another Garcia's. I'm going to have to do a poll one day or maybe Mary can tell me where the good authentic stuff is within a 5-mile radius of Schertz. read more
