    Chicken enchilada with crema sauce, ground beef crispy taco, borracho beans
    Rachel W.

    Jaliscos has a lot going for it. Cute space with that expected, "upscale-ish" Mexican restaurant vibe, patio overlooking the creek, plenty of parking available. I've been twice now and service has been good both times. Not great, but prompt and efficient. There wasn't a lot of proactiveness (offering boxes, asking crispy or soft taco, refills, suggestive selling), but they got the job done. The food is pretty good. I've had better, but I haven't been disappointed. Tortilla soup, fine. Chicken enchiladas, great, but amount of sauce on top, lacking. Ground beef and salsa, both have a weird spice that I can't quite place but doesn't quite work. Is it rosemary? Is it entirely too much cumin? I can't tell. The exception to the "fine" food rule is the queso. Jaliscos has the best queso I have ever eaten in my many years of eating queso. When I brought my husband here for the first time, I said "this is the queso I've been trying to find for you for 5 years". He thought he loved queso, but on this day, he learned what queso truly was, and it was a glorious day. My mother ate it and it reminded her of the queso she had fallen in love with 35 years earlier at her first restaurant job. Jaliscos doesn't need anything else to be good as long as they never change the queso. I also wish they had a better bar. Walking into this place, I would expect them to have a really nice bar with a fun environment and drink specials, etc. Instead, they have a bar area that doesn't really look designed to be sat at. You're kind of behind the drink machine, there is space for about 3 people to sit there, and the bar is too deep to really reach across it for service. I don't need to sit at a bar, but it would be a nice addition.

    Went in for lunch on a Sunday, it was very crowded but no wait on a table. Our server was quick and attentive, salsa and chips were very good as was our food (chicken Jalisco & mini tacos). Inside was clean, very noisy but like I said it was crowded. I Will definitely come again!

    Mini tacos

    Food is delicious! I highly recommend this Mexican restaurant. The food was hot and delicious. Mario is very attentive and courteous. The place was super clean. I will be returning soon!

    So far so good. Love the hot sauce. The service friendly. Very clean and modern for what appears to be an old Pizza Hut. I'm gonna see if I can get some of the hot sauce to take home. It's damm good!

    We really enjoyed the food and service from Maribel. My wife had the chimichanga plate with rice and beans and guacamole, the guac was just average but the chimichangas were the best, the best part was she shared these goodies with me!..I enjoyed my chile relleno plate almost as much as the chimichangas.

    Chicken Fajita Taco

    Food and service were good ... authentic restaurant with a large soup selection. The soda glasses were the size of a 2 liter... everything is bigger in Texas! I had the chicken fajita taco and it was seasoned perfectly. The queso dip was bland but I definitely crushed it!

    Tomatoes and avocado I didn't ask for!

Service was pretty questionable. It was too way noisy inside so we had to practically yell at one another sitting across the table. We were a party of 6, and 3 of our orders got wrong. 2 of the orders were wrong because of miscommunication, which is fine, wish the waitress would have clarified the food before putting it in. Biggest problem is that when we asked the waitress about the food, she started arguing with us. Not okay with an argument from the staff, which is too bad because this was a first time experience for part of our party, and they won't be coming back. Not sure we'd be going back, and we've come here a handful of times. Food was good. Flautas, steak ranchero, trio enchiladas, and chicken enchilada verdes. Also got uncharged for meat that we didn't ask for, wanted regular shredded chicken not chicken fajita, this was also told to the waitress when ordering and cooked wrong. Also make sure if you're paying with a credit card, have them take off the non-cash adjustment. They automatically put it on the checks, and unless you know about it, they will still charge you it.

The sides were portioned to complete the meal. I did ask for sour cream since the menu did not say it came with it. Well it did and the waitress did not let me know that and so I got charged for an extra sour cream. Not a big fan of refried beans, however that was what they had. They tasted good and I believe if you are a refried beans type, they would be considered great! The restaurant itself is modern meets industrial vibe. Cozy but not tiny. The staff could be a little more attentive or at least more personable. All in all, I would eat here anytime I am visiting the area and wanting Mexican.
