Food was ok, kind of weird you have to order sides separately for most of the menu. Love small businesses, but cleanliness is a serious factor too. read more

may be a monday evening thing. very slow and bland food. may be its better during busy days.

We just had dinner here for the first time. It's a very quaint restaurant. It's colorful and the food was very good. I had the shrimp fajitas and my husband had the burrito plate with chicharron. The staff was friendly and attentive. I would definitely come back to try other menu items. The parking is interesting. read more

I was NOT expecting this lil place to be soooo good. I got the street tacos which were perfection. I guess I went on the wrong day bc they didn't have elotes, horchata or churros. But I got my tacos. I'll be back for more of those. So authentic and the employees are really nice. That means a lot read more

Good service and great food. I would recommend this place to others and would like to eat there again.

Since we moved to Jarrell about a year ago we have been regularly going to El Pitayo. They have the best food and good prices. They also offer online ordering and curbside pickup. Their Chimichangas, are probably the best I have ever had. read more

Suck good food and service! Ordered Togo and the waitress although a bit busy was so friendly

Average food, average service. Better when they first opened. Love the family meal deal.

I don't like the fact that I have to put a star on here! I asked for chili con queso and the meat was raw. I ordered the 3 taco plate and the waitress brought the 4 mini taco plate. When I told her that's not what I ordered she walked away! My granddaughter ordered the cheese enchilada plate with red sauce and the sauce looked like tomato paste! Her food was cold too! My sister order the mini taco plate and no onions because she's allergic to them! And they smothered it with onions!! Our bill for 2 plates and 3 drinks was over $50 the food was crap, the service was crap, and the customer service environment was crap!! And then explain how they got my phone number and sent me a text saying "El Pitayo Loyalty Rewards Programs"!! How did they get my number! Beware future customers but to each their own!! read more

I absolutely LOVE this place!!!! The service is always 100% even when they are busy!!! My sister has ordered their 50$ for 30 street tacos and I literally can't get enough of their food! My son and I go there at least 2-3 times a week after trying their street tacos! read more

California Burrito. Delicious authentic Mexican food. I would go back. Food had great flavor. Highly recommend. read more

El Pitayo Mexican Kitchen - California Burrito. Delicious. This is a true Mexican restaurant. - Mexican Near Me - Jarrell, Texas

It might look small, but it's worth a stop! Not many take out options here in Jarrell. This place is the best! Their salsa is amazing and the fajitas are the best I've ever had! They struggle sometimes with getting orders correct or out timely but we will always go back! read more

It's small outside and inside. But the food is good and they have Margaritas to go! The staff is always nice and polite.

The people are so nice here and went above and beyond for the first time I ordered from them. I placed an online order for curbside pick up. So I was getting ready to go pick up my order and realized I've misplaced my car keys. I called to explain my delay and a nice woman offered to deliver my order if I still hadn't found my keys in 15 minutes, she called me back before the time was up and asked for my address. I'm new to this area and hospitality is one of the reasons I chose to leave Dallas. The food was good and they even blessed me with chips, salsa, and queso. I've ordered more than once and have never been disappointed. The barbacoa tacos are my favorite. read more

I had heard good things about this place from friends of mine, so we decided to make the half hour drive from Temple to give them a try. And I must say that we weren't disappointed. This is one of those little family run places that doesn't dazzle you from the outside, but once you step inside you feel like you are indeed at someone's home to enjoy a good meal. And I've often found that these are usually the best places to patronize. We were greeted with a smile, and told that we could sit wherever we'd like to. Our server, and I wish I would've got her name, was a sweetheart. Even as busy as they were on a Sunday afternoon she made regular checks on us to insure that we were taken care of. And I'll say this with no exaggeration, this was one of those most satisfying and enjoyable meals that we have ever had. I had my go to dish which is Bistec Ranchero. I judge all Mexican Restaurants by how well they make this, and I have to say that this was hands down the best I've ever had. Nice sized pieces of beef seasoned to perfection with grilled tomatoes, onions and jalapeños. Add some nice homemade tortillas and it doesn't get much better. My wife loved her shrimp and chicken fajita plate which was brought out on a sizzling platter and cooked to perfection. And another thing that impressed us was the young man, and I don't know if he was the Chef or the owner, made a couple of stops by our table to make sure we were enjoying our meal. That rarely happens at most places. So to sum it up, this is a FANTASTIC little restaurant in Jarrell Texas that puts out some awesome food. Like I said earlier, it's a half hour drive for us, but after our experience today, I see it being one that we'll make regularly. read more

My favorite local place! I get the naked burrito bowl and it's sooooo good! My husband and son love their tacos. I also love their beautiful mural of the Virgin de Guadalupe on the building. read more

Was in town to visit my sister and was in need of some good breakfast tacos. Placed the order online which was user friendly and easy. Pick-up time was 30 minutes and was ready when I arrived. We ordered 6 tacos and everyone was pleased with the food. The tacos was a nice size. Depending on your appetite one breakfast taco fill that belly of yours. Overall nice experience! read more

Great Mexican food at a fantastic price. I usually order fajitas and can make 3 fat tacos with what is on the plate. Other restaurants charge much more for enough meat for 2 skinny tacos. The salsa is awesome with just enough bite to it. I have never been disappointed by the quality of the food or the affordability, and the staff is friendly and helpful. read more

I really like this place a lot my favorite Mexican food place in Jarrell. Price isn't bad. And better service then Mexicano.

Love this place and we've eaten there so many times I can't count. Do go in and you won't regret it.

Good food, excellent customer service , especially love breakfast burritos, and fresh hot chips

There aren't many restaurants in Jarrell but this one is a true gem! It's a bit of a hole in the wall place but I've found these are often the best places to eat good food. On my visit I ordered the Beef Enchiladas. The plate came with rice & charro beans (or refrained). The food was incredible. I can't remember the last time I had rice & beans that were this good. This place is a must visit if you like Mexican Food! read more

Happened upon this restaurant with our 4 kids and everyone was a huge fan! Awesome very fast and friendly service and amazing food!!! The best homemade tortillas, super fresh salsa and overall excellent experience. read more

I don't know if this place is going out of business but I order their loaded nachos minus the pico and got queso cheese instead of the melted cheese. Checked my food when it was done and they put queso cheese over 8 tortilla chips with no meat!!! Needless to say I didn't accept it and ran out of there. No not me, not for $13 bucks... if you order from here please check your food before you leave!!! SO I LEFT RIGHT AND THEY STILL TRIED TO CHARGE MY CARD!!! Sorry I called my bank and you will never see that $12.45 or my business ever again!!! read more

This place is the classic hole in the wall gem. Diamond in the rough. The best Mexican food in Jarrell. Service is friendly. The Chicken enchiladas with sour cream sauce is always perfect. Price are great. Do yourself a favor and stop on in and give it a try. Beats everything on the East side of I-35. read more

This place is so great. It is the kind of Mexican food I have been looking for in Texas. We have eaten here twice already this week. The food is amazing and the service is friendly and great.

Very slow service waited 10 mins before getting drinks and chips. Waitress paid no attention and had an angry face the whole time. Been here a few time but will never eat here again. read more
