The food was great. I ordered the enchiladas lunch plate, 2 enchiladas made 9f ground beef and flour tortillas. YES I SAID FLOUR TORTILLAS, I don't like corn enchiladas. It came with refried beans and rice, with a savory gravy on top. This dish did not leave me bloated unlike many other Tex Mex restaurants. The service was on point and fast. The ambiance, is that of any Tex Mex restaurant, nothing special. read more

Wonderful lunch and attentive service at lunch time. My waitress kept my salsa and Agua Fresca full without asking. The trio is a great sampling of their sauces. The mole is rich with tender chicken. My first time back in years, happy to report the food is great and the service as attentive as always. read more

Love the beef fajita quesadillas! I've only gotten takeouts here from the drive through. Never dined in. The people at the window are always very nice. I would call ahead on your way to pick up because it could take them a bit to prep the food. The take out outsets can be a hit and miss, but I always enjoy the food regardless. My go to dishes: beef fajitas quesadillas, beef fajitas entree for two, barbacoa tacos, and guacamole. Inside is casual. read more

Great food, great prices, and fantastic service from Helen and the team. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting

I ordered the large tortilla soup and sopapillas. Both were great! I didn't need to add any seasoning to the soup unlike other places.

Lunch specials are the bomb! My family comes here regularly and is greeted by name when they visit. This is the first time in years that I've returned to the restaurant with my family. Quite honestly it's a hidden gem. The restaurant was fairly busy on arrival today but it was only a ten minute wait. Being that my family is so regular the host was super apologetic and did everything in her power to get us sat. Shout out to the host who's name I don't have because my father is terrible with names. There is a lunch special that ends at 3pm and the portions are HUGE. The beef fajita plate is a 9/10. So good. The fajita is so tender and tasty. Just an FYI - my father believes it's even tastier when it's ordered in the quesadilla. My brother always goes for the green enchiladas and adds an extra enchilada because it's just that good. My mother ordered the Vallarta special - chicken tostada paired with a green enchilada. Each plate that was ordered was super filling and tasty. While the restaurant was busy the service was quick and pleasant. The restaurant doesn't play any music but is nicely decorated. The outdoor patio is "instagram-able" but unfortunately it was cold and rainy today so didn't want to photograph it. Worth a visit! read more

Amazing food, great service! My server was really attentive and recommended really good meals

Update: Remember I noted food was lightly warm. I ended up getting sick and battling diarrhea from Saturday lunch and still happening on Sunday. Bathroom every hour with minor vomiting. Service and drinks are amazing. Food would be improved if it was hot instead lightly warm. Great price as well. read more

This has been my to go restaurant for years but the experience today was not pleasant. The waitress seem new and very overwhelmed. She messed up quite a few times but we were all patience with her. When it was time to pay, it's obvious she didn't know what she was doing. I paid but never got a receipt, I asked for one and realized I was overcharged. When asked to be refunded, waitress tried paying me from her tips, I told her it wasn't right and needed a refund receipt or voided or whatever. She continued by telling me that I had my money and it wasn't use. I asked for the manager, she spoke with him and he didn't seem to care because he never came by and sent her back with another receipt, where I'm charged again. She tried paying me from her tips again. She asked me, why was I making a big deal. I told her I shouldn't have been overcharged and she shouldn't be refunding me from her tips. She needed to void it in the system and said it couldn't be done once I paid. I still ended up overpaying by $5 even after she refunded me from her tips because she either she didn't know how to fix or didn't want to fix it and manager didn't seem to care. I don't blame her, I blame the person in charged. read more

I've been to both Jalisco's now, and somehow, this Jalisco tastes worse than the Buda location.... The pricing for food is about on average, but the actual taste of the meal itself... yikes. Like most patrons have concluded, the food is bland. I've ordered from both the breakfast (by the way, served all day) and lunch menus, but no matter how you spin it, there is no seasoning or salt/pepper added in either. The food taste like mush and there are too many options to choose from. Jalisco really needs to focus on a few items and expand from there for improvement. read more

We went to Jaliscos last week , I had great food my server was amazing I believe her name was Doris she was very attending , and nice. As soon as I walked in the host was very rude she didn't say hi or anything gave me a look I felt uwelcomed other than that everything was good read more

This was an on the fly pick using the Yelp app and it was a solid find for breakfast tacos. Even better they have a drive thru. 2 BEC and 2 CEC and they were very good! Extra star for using a whole piece of quality bacon. Chorizo tasted great and not overly greasy. Tortillas were fresh (don't think they are made in house) and the salsa was fantastic! read more

My husband and I always enjoy our visits here! We often sit at the bar and the bartenders have always been genuinely nice and attentive. We split the Jefe burrito because it's huge and full of meaty, cheesy goodness. Their chips and salsa and margaritas are also pretty good. The service has been consistent and the food comes out quickly. They have a decent happy hour too! read more

I love coming here, the food is top notch, very fresh. It use to be very affordable, but their new menu their prices have gone up and it's very $$$ now. I get inflation and things going up, but they have raised the prices so much compared to before. Chips and salsa are fresh and delicious, definitely a favorite and must enjoy. Margaritas aren't as tasty and not very strong for the price so thumbs down. They have also started using smaller glasses compared to before, so you get less and still pay the premium price. Service is great, they are super nice, fast and attentive. The locations is perfect, the ambiance is very pleasant and makes for a nice evening out. The food, prices went up but the food quality has also. Their food is delicious and well worth the visit! If you want traditional Mexican food in Austin; this is one of the places to come! Even though their prices are bit higher than normal I'm still giving them 5 stars. read more

My food was cold & under cooked I informed the server & let her know I would probably just get something else. She then told me that I would be charged for both entrees (took 1 bite didn't touch the rice or beans) because I touched the plate didn't even offer to at least re make my food. Very disappointed read more

This was my first time at Jalisco's, and I will definitely be coming back! Olga was our server and she is the absolute sweetest. So thoughtful and on top of our service. I had the Arrachera Lunch Special and it was to die for. Huge portion size and a delicious meal. Thank you Olga! read more

Jalisco's Restaurant and Bar - Arrachera (Lunch Special) & Sangria - Mexican Near Me - Austin, Texas

First off, food was delicious and great. I ordered a beef quesadilla (it was bliss and plentiful " it was so good, like yeah the first bite was good,but then the second bite is even better, now imagine doing that throughout the whole quesadilla !!!! It just got better with every bite!!!!! My brother ordered the American breakfast with pancakes and bacon, got him full and he enjoyed it. He also order a potato egg and cheese taco, which came on a fluffy fresh tortilla .Service is wonderful and pleasant ,very welcoming on soft voices. The place is so spacious and nice !!! read more

While the actual food was not bad in itself, it is misleading that your drive thru pricing is different than what is actually charged. Tacos are listed as $3.25 but are actually $4.00. Add anything and it's an extra .30. I get inflation has happened but present your actual cost vs surprising someone with every item as more expensive than originally thought. Asking for a tip afterwards in the drive-through is in bad taste. read more

The food was great! It has a mix of Mexican cuisine and some American dishes. The pricing was a bit pricey but the food portion was great. The service was very welcoming and very fast paced perfect when you have a spare 45-30 minutes and the atmosphere is very nice, welcoming, and friendly and they even stream some sports in the TVs perfect for a family lunch or dinner! read more

Didn't like margarita here, unusual because I've always liked margaritas. Salad contained too much chicken, not enough lettuce or vegs. Waiter didn't understand, thought I was trying to return salad. They took salad back to kitchen, added little more lettuce, definitely not enough considering the price. Still had too much chicken, did not eat most of it. Not good first experience. Came back with friend and brother for second visit. They were out of mole, so we all got Chile Rellenos and rice. I got mine without refried beans. Rice was good, Chile Relleno with chicken pretty good. Service was okay. Large Tex Mex restaurant atmosphere. read more

Came here on a Friday evening, and they took about 15 minutes for us to be seated. Our food came out pretty fast as well for a table of two. I enjoy my tacos al pastor, they were seasoned well & have a generous portion. The shrimp enchiladas were yummy & fulfilling. I had two margaritas and they definitely hit! Our waitress was very attentive! It was about $40 for two margs & two main entrees & tip included. No appetizers! Would definitely consider visiting again. read more

I can't believe this place is still in business. Many yrs we gave it a try & said um nope. Well we tried again last night & it really is not great food. Ordered fajitas for one- might as well have ordered a sonic hamburger b/c that's the way the meat tasted. (Old meat-no flavor) The rice/beans/cheese/guac/sour cream were enough for one taco but paid $28! Ordered bean cheese chalupa Ala carte -hardly any beans on the shell! Ordered Al Pastor taco- old meat- tortilla & meat were not hot- barely warm! And the queso-HA!! You mean a piece of velveeta to fill a 4oz bowl and place it in the microwave for $9! Yah they can keep all that nastiness! Always had to wait for our drinks to be filled. Waitress-"anything else?". Us-"yes more drinks please" read more

We are in Austin doing some house hunting and we were invited by family to have an early dinner here. I didn't pick the place and I didn't look at any reviews before heading there. I read reviews after the fact and was a little surprised at the overall rating and some of the poor reviews. First off, service was very good all the way through. Water, chips, salsa all brought to the table immediately. The menu has some good selections. I went off the traditional Mexican dish to try their grilled tilapia, we've been eating on the run a lot lately so the vegetable side sounded good. The rice, veggies, and grilled fish were delicious. I hate filling up on chips and salsa but I have to say, even those were very good. I threw that in late because I kept adding the salsa to my dish because it was that good. My wife had the mole enchiladas and I know they were good because she never offered me any! We had six people in the group and all the dishes looked good. Tortillas were plentiful and refilled mid way through. We had beers that were ice cold. We got there just before the dinner rush, it was really busy as we were leaving. 5 stars on a first visit for hitting all the important areas of service, quality, quantity, and a very good overall experience. read more

My family and I came on Christmas Day and got seated with Olga. From beginning to end she made us feel at home. She was so warm and sweet and tended to our every need.

Went during the 25% opening. Not many customers were masked up coming in or walking around. Our server wore her mask with her nose sticking out occasionally. Food wise, the steak fajitas for two were good. The hot sauce has a good strong kick, and the chips aren't thin so they do not break when you scoop for a healthy dip of salsa. Margaritas tasted good, but I had two and wasn't buzzed at all (after not eating all day). All in all, I'm thankful this place allowed us to be seated, but the clientele gave a rip with wearing masks coming in the restaurant and walking to their tables. read more

They used to have good food, not anymore. The taco shell was stale. The tamale was all dough, very little meat. The enchilada was so thin, had no cheese. All the food was tasteless. The best part was the chips. Had to wait 15 minutes for my meal. I wasted my time and money. This used to be my favorite place. Sorry to see it go down hill. Should have taken a picture of the tamale. read more

We came for HH on our anniversary, we had never been. Service was awesome, Leonardo was our server. Kudos to that guy for sure! I had the taco salad with ground beef, perfect size. As in, it wasn't the size of my face and I could actually eat it all! My better half got a mixed plate, it came with a crunchy taco ( in build it yourself style), an enchilada and he subbed in a chalupa for a taquito at no extra charge. We both had 2 margs with floaters and our bill was less than $50. The salsa is spicy and I liked it!! We didn't dive into any apps because we planned on stuffing our faces for real. So, I'll say it again, HH here is choice! Go there, 3-7 pm and enjoy :) read more
