Salsa is amazing fresh made warm tortilla chips. They are always friendly and seem to have a lot of regulars. It's a typical Mexican restaurant. Not to fancy but nice and clean. read more

Plaza Jalisco - Carne Asada burrito and enchilada taco combination - Mexican Near Me - Chehalis, Washington

This place is pretty good. My wife and I stopped by here after a long e-bike ride on the Willapa Hills trail to Rainbow Galls State Park. And back. I was hungry for Mexican food and a cold beer. My wife and I split fajitas. Pros: great service, warm chips, awesome salsa, and good price. Fajitas were spicy good. Cons: the place is in need of a remodel and no AC. Stop by if you need some authentic Mexican food. read more

As soon as we walked in I felt as if I was a giant in a little persons home. So cramped you could barely turn around. We sat in our booth which I'm not sure what it was built out of but I thought we were going to fall in. I'm sitting next to the wall and my husband says to me "Omg, look at the wall" so that was my sign to NOT look at the wall. Apparently it was filthy. Our server was nice and the food was good and it was hot! I got the chicken enchiladas. It wasn't really that flavorful but ok. They were in a big hurry to take our plates while still eating so we paid and bounced. Not coming back to this one. read more

Plaza Jalisco - a meal in a styrofoam container - Mexican Near Me - Chehalis, Washington

Reviews are accurate! This place is filthy, dirty walls dirty floors dirty bathroom; I wonder what the kitchen looks like? Sat down in a booth and sank in like the titanic sunk in the ocean. Lumbar support? No problem you can feel the back of person behind you. Moving back and forth. Staff: One lady never even looked at us, the man was pushy and we felt rushed about everything! The young lady should find another job before this place ruins her. Food: mediocre at best. It was hot, I will give them that, flavor was decent, portions were fair. However, the heartburn and stomach ache that came later that night told the real story. If your drunk and hungry, this is a great bad decision. If your sane and hungry, look elsewhere. read more

Dining area is very small and cramped. They don't play any background music, so it feels like the strangers you're crammed in alongside can hear your group's whole conversation. The booth backrests were so wobbly that every time someone in the booth behind me moved, I got punched in the back by that massive wooden backrest. Not a comfortable or relaxing atmosphere to eat in. Staff took their own sweet time to come back to take orders and bring things we requested like extra napkins. Not a big deal, but they never brought the receipt so we eventually gave up and went to the front to pay. Menus had sticky residue on them and water glasses did not look clean. Salsa had a funky taste to it, like they'd let it sit out while people smoked cigarettes next to it for a couple hours. Only reason I didn't give the restaurant a 1-star is because the food I ordered was actually decent and I didn't get food poisoning. Still, I would not go back, even if someone else agreed to pay. read more

Not going back. Very disappointed in quality and customer service. Not nearly as good as it was several years ago. Paid way too much for the fajitas. $18. 99 however there was barely enough meat to fill a single tortilla. Meat was super peppery (black course pepper) and it was a lot of gristle/tough scrap meat. Most of the meat was impossible to eat. The onions and peppers were not cooked well with the meat so we're quite raw and didn't have the fajita taste to them. They garnished half the plate with a large tomato to hide the fact there was hardly any steak. My daughters chicken enchilada was missing most of the enchilada sauce, barely a tablespoon on the plate which left the enchilada hard and dry. She loved the chicken tacos, those were well done but the enchilada wasn't very edible. Once our food was brought to us the waitress never came back except to drop off the bill. The bill was wrong. There were two of us, myself and my daughter but we were charged for 4 pops. I had a tea and my daughter a pop, no refills. Waitress didn't come back to refill our drinks or to check on the quality of our meal. I told the cashier and was grilled on refills and if more people were at my table. No just the two of us, there are only two meals on our receipt, and mine was a tea not pop and no refills were offered since the waitress didn't come back. They ended up adjusting the drinks. I have to say for $58 we have had larger meals at McDonald's with better quality. Very disappointed that the restaurant has gone down from the quality we use to get there in years past. Maybe they are struggling to recover from the Covid closure, and if so I am sorry but you cant try to make up for lost ground by scaling the food quantity and quality back so drastically but maintaing a high price. I do not recommend eating here. read more

Plaza Jalisco - Steak fajita @ $18.99 - Mexican Near Me - Chehalis, Washington

Always wonderful food and service! Everything is yummy and a real treat! We love the sampler platter and Sopapillas are the best!

Not a bad place. Plaza Jalisco is right off of I-5 so it's pretty easy to get off and on if you are on that corridor. Plaza isn't the most authentic Mexican fare in town but the service is friendly and lightning fast. I barely got done placing my order and had a two bites of salsa and chips (which were pretty good) and my meal arrived! I had a Taco Salad which was decent. Prices are reasonable and location convenient. Not a bad place at all, just not the best. read more

Their food was terrible. The customer experience was horrible. The Chile Relleno was 80% egg and 20% Chile. Worst Chille Relleno plate I've ever had. One of the staff members had their children hanging out in the restaurant one of them called me fat in Spanish thinking I didn't understand. This happened all while the server was running my payment. The server pretended like he didn't hear it. I later called the restaurant and asked to speak to the server who helped me. He was "too busy to pick up the phone." I explained to the lady who answered the phone what had happened and then she did put him on the phone, just for him to hang up on me. I called back and asked to speak to the owner and was told that he was "in the back room and also too busy to pick up the phone." This place is a joke, nasty service and food. Embarrassing representation of Jalisco, where my family is also from. Absolute waste of money. *****Update***** I was contacted by the real owners daughter. She apologized for the experience I had. She is offering to refund me as well as send me a gift certificate to another location. read more

Food was delicious! Staff were very friendly. Portions good size. Only negative is that the place is a little worn down and could use a good cleaning. Other than that, I recommend u chow down! read more

This restaurant serves mostly Mexican food, but has some options for American food like hamburgers, fries, etc. I was here with my family a few weeks ago. I ordered a chicken burrito that was actually really delicious. It came with shredded chicken inside and red sauce on top, which was flavorful. The chicken burrito came with rice and beans and they were absolutely awesome. I will be back again. read more

Took my best friend out for lunch yesterday and was sadly disappointed I ordered a $6 drink of the day and it was three sips out of a straw and it was gone when I asked him too if they had an orange slice he brought me back a half of a orange after my shitty 6 dollar drink was gone!!! I spent $13 on a taco salad that was one of the worst taco salad I've ever had in my life!! very runny!!! And we sat in the bar and the staff in the kitchen kept walking by and staring at us made me feel very uncomfortable I won't be returning back to this place that would be the reason for my one star $30 lunch down the drain!!! read more

This is the best food in the area, great service, consistent, clean restrooms, highly recommended!

Nasty food, bad service. Will not be returning. The place is super filthy and looks like it never gets cleaned.

Family owned. Friendly staff. The food is always delicious. The seafood chimichangas are so good. My other favorite is the big shrimp salad.

My man installed their tv recently and they gave us the hook-up when we went there for dinner a few days later. This in itself is not the reason for all those stars... Their salsa is amazing! We went there again, tonight, they must have filled our salsa bowl 4 times!!! Very spicey, hard to stop eating. Unfortunately, I always order the same thing every time I go for Mexican food: Taco Salad (it's the fried flour tortilla, damn that's good!), so I only have the one food to say that both times was incredibly tastey and too much to eat. He ate the Jalisco Special, a plate with carne asada and a seafood medley (he likes melody, because it makes him sing!) and mushrooms in a spicey buttery sauce. Anyway, margaritas good too. Oh, and the service was stellar both times. Completely confident it will be again and again as this is the new favorite Mexican in town...for now. read more

Service and smiles were infectious and warm. Specialty plates taste wonderful. I looked through many of the other reviews and after my exposure I feel this little chain should have higher reviews. If you order one of the #'s, their are less flamboyant with the flavors. Still, the chicken chimichunga is great with soft marinated chicken and a fresh wrapped and lightly fried crisp. The way to go is with the specialty plates, though. These, like the fejita burrito, are very good. And the serving is huge. Another surprise was the steaks. The cuts are thinner than a nice steak house yet the flavor and preparation were great. I cannot remember the name, but their version of surf and turf, the steak and shrimp is better than fine. The horchatta was flavorful yet a little watered. All in all my full stars are a reflection of today's experience compared to previous reviews. Njoy read more

Quick service, nice staff. Big portion and tastes yummy too!!! Also, happy hour is 4-7pm daily and you can get a free appetizer in the lounge and happy hour margaritas are $5.50!!!! Come get it!!! read more

Plaza Jalisco - Super fast service and nice server. Food is a generous portion. Tastes great to me! - Mexican Near Me - Chehalis, Washington

The first thing we noticed was how dirty the place is. Dirty floors, windows, salsa bar area was filthy, and our glasses where dirty. My boyfriend said the salsa just tasted like tomatoes and that's it. The only reason I give 2 stars is because they give you a lot of food. My burrito looked and smelled good but was super watery! It was disappointing. read more

Ai Caramba!! It was truly a Xmas in July experience)) We had a quick bite to eat on July 9,2011 and were curious to know why all that time the singer was dreaming of a white Christmas,then Jingle bells followed,Then Feliz Navidad...after half an hour we started to giggle.I prefer "it's 5 o'clock somewhere" theme on a hot summer day. When our food arrived a lady with a sprayer leaned over the second story of a restaurant and started spraying the tiles by the entrance on the first floor.She was spraying some sort of a disinfectant mixed with high consentration of bleach.The smell was nauseating. We had to leave shortly after since bleach and food do not mix. read more

We came to this restaurant because we looked online and they had some vegan/ vegetarian options on the menu posted online. When we got there the menu was completely different then what we saw but our waiter assured us they can make anything we saw on their "old menu" which is what we found online. Our waiter was funny and joking around with us. My sister is vegan and my brother in law is vegetarian which, I think, isn't something they come across often because he kept messing around with them. The food being placed on our table was an experience all in and of itself. My sister ordered a vegetarian burrito and the thing was bigger than her head! I got the tacos al carbon and they were awesome!! My husband got some weird beef dish he wasn't too happy with but it was still a massive amount of food. The prices are a bit up there but the amount of food they give you is so huge that you don't feel like you are being ripped off. The food came out hot and fast and, overall, was super tasty. The only downside this place has is the atmosphere. When we walked in we almost walked out because it's super small and cramped and the cleanliness looked questionable. The ceiling is really low too, one guy hit his head as he was walking to the bathrooms and had to slouch the rest of the way. If they updated their restaurant a little bit they would probably get more customers but overall this place was super good and I would go back. read more

We stopped here on the way home to the Bay Area from Seattle and were very impressed. Good, basic Mexican food. Portions are very generous. I had a combo with chile relleno and a picadillo chalupa. The chile relleno was completely unremarkable, but the chalupa DH had the Jalisco Special, and it was delicious. Looking forward to our next road trip! read more

The food was overpriced Taco Bell, the customer service was decent considering the fact that we were laughing about the quality, I would not go back, we decided to feed the homeless people outside, hopefully they're enjoying the food, definitely not worth the 80 dollars plus the tip I left, I hope they improve‍ read more

So so, soooo dirty, SUCIO! - dirty floors, dirty chairs, dirty floors, dirty glasses, dirty silverware, and yes, the classic mexican bathroom situation, a trash can in the stall filled with feces and toilet paper. Gonna be a miracle if we avoid food poisoning, realized the last part after the meal, unfortunately. Looks like they dont like to spend soap when washing dishes or anything else. Had high hopes as the one in Napavine is actually good and fairly clean. Also the burritos had this weird cheap sweet tomato sauce instead of real sauce, think totinos frozen pizza, thats the sauce, low grade pizza sauce. To top it off, this place is pricey, much more than the ine in Napavine even, 16.00 for the carne asade pizza sauce burrito. No matter how hungry you get, just keep on driving folks - no bueno. read more

Nice little authentic restaurant. Great decorations and even better food. Fresh shrimp cocktail has a nice thick broth.

first and last time eating there. i wanted some street tacos. carne asada or el pastor. the waiter said they don't have el pastor. so i asked if they have carne asada street tacos, he said yes. so i said i will take 3. He later brings me 4 tacos with guac in the middle. i said i only wanted 3, and he walk away and did not explain why. i guess i would eat 3. i also asked for salsa verde . so let me tell you about the food: OK the plate was so hot that the guac was turning brown. it was so hot the i had to wait to grab a taco. since i had to wait because the plate was hot the tortillas were dry and the longer i waited the worse they got. and by the way the salsa verde was not green it was orange and no lime taste. i asked the waiter is that salsa verde? he sad yes. and now here is the icing on the cake, four dry over cooked tacos with guac 14.99 at lunch time. i find out that the street tacos are ground beef for 3.05 each. go to taco bell you will be better off. i think there was a white cook in the back. i know good Mexican food, my wife and in-laws are Mexican and when they cook, there is always a second plate. I am sure all the location have the be the same. read more

Had a date with the husband after he finally got home from out of state. Went to a really good movie and out to eat. We used to go to Plaza Jalisco quite often when we were dating and the food was always excellent as was the whole dining experience. Used to be way better. Although the food is still pretty good, the place has went way downhill. The people behind me in the other booth kept kicking me the whole time. My husband was opposite me so he didnt have that at least. The service was actually real good. Unfortunately I ordered a margarita, regular...it was so very very strong. Couldnt drink it at all. They said oh they are always like that. He looked at me weird when I refused to order something else. Why would I if they are all going to be like that? I mean I felt like I was breathing fire. So I had to eat a spicy mexican meal with no drink. And no I dont do tap water. The meal was 50 bucks for 2. And yes we tip well. Oh btw it was our 20th Anniversary. Not a great memory. Doubtful we will go again. read more

This is by far my favorite restaurant in Tumwater. my husband and I frequent here often but recently we have not been happy with this restaurant. The food is great and the service is great but there have been multiple occasions in which people come up to our table, during our dinner, to ask us to purchase roses or sing songs for a price. This is not okay by any means! I feel awkward and obligated to buy something I don't want! This is a huge violation of a very sacred, relaxing time that usually is at the end of my very busy day. I value this time with my husband and I DO NOT like someone interrupting our meal to sell me roses or songs... We come to plaza Jalisco multiple times a month, and stop in for to go orders and pico de gallo so frequently that I would really hate to make a different restaurant our go-to, but this is just uncalled for! I really hope this review reaches management and someone will put an end to this very irritating occurance before we take our business elsewhere. read more

Plaza Jalisco, in Chehalis, WA, is a hole-in-the-wall Mexican restaurant. That being said, you need to know: they have the best salsa on the planet. I'd better repeat that, just to make sure you don't miss it: The. Best. Salsa. On. The. Planet. I am specifically referring to the hot salsa, which looks almost olive green. This is not a red salsa, or a pico de gallo - this is tasty liquid fire in a bowl. Be warned - it's hot, but super flavorful. We're not talking extract of capsaicin or anything, but oh-so-good. I had a friend bring me four pints of the stuff in styrofoam cups. By the time the salsa made it to me on the Eastern side of the state, there was hot oil seeping through the walls of the cup. I didn't care; this stuff is amazing. Life changing! (Well, if not life changing, at the very least, it is *sinus* changing...) Oh, and the rest of the food is pretty tasty, too. I can't think of anything I've eaten here that I haven't enjoyed... but the salsa, oh Lordy, the salsa... read more

It used to be good but not anymore, we had flies circulating our food at our table, waitress took our order and then we never saw her again because the bus girl brought our food. We stayed because my co- diner had never been there... but we won't be back. This makes me sad, it used to be a really good restaurant, not anymore. I think it's still open because it's the only one in that immediate area. Trust me when I tell you go back over the freeway and go to Applebee's. 2 stars because the bus girl was sweet. read more

Best Mexican restaurant ever great home food that fills all your craving. Friendly and nice customer service. Very awesome place

Great customer service and quality mexican-american food. My favorite is Taquitos Rancheros or Chicken Taquitos!!

Fine, Fine traditional jalisco food here. Festive atmosphere, can get loud. Usually packed - or is that because my family alone takes up 3-4 full booths? Lots of seafood, lots of cheese, lots of good food. The sopapillas are memorable, and if it's your birthday be prepared for a seranade. Great spot. read more

This place is alright. Basic mexican food I suppose. Being from california and having real mexican food, this place was a little basic and definitely didn't have much spice or pizzaz. The food is in gigantic portions, and definitely worth the price. The only thing that really bothered me was when i asked them what was in the tortillas and beans and rice they gave me a strange look and didn't even really check and just immediately answered no... with hesitation. Being vegetarian it is super important for me to ask if food has lard, or chicken stock, or any animal products used, i want to know. Anyway, after i had asked the waiter I saw the girl working at the front desk give him a weird look because of my questions. It really bothered me. read more
