We have eaten there off and on for the last 10 years. Today I picked up my favorite dish at the drive through "The Ceviche tostada plate" It's always been a tad spicy for this weda girl but I add sour cream and it's perfect, but not today. They coated the fish with some kind of seasoning and even with sour cream my mouth is on fire! Wow! I just don't understand why a lot of restaurants mess with their recipes, Black Bear Diner just changed one of my favorite dishes. My motto if it ain't broke, do fix it. read more

Excellent food and service. Quick meal prep and plenty of food. I'll be back... My wife and I enjoyed their enchiladas and our friends had the quesadillas. All were seasoned well and beyond our expectations read more

This place was amazing!!! Me and my kids love their chips and salsa.Very family friendly.Waiter does very good job.Will be coming back for sure. You should definitely check this restaurant out!!! read more

Love this place, especially for breakfast. Food is always good, they have the best coffee but most importantly, they have the best staff!!

I use to love this place until today ! They have called me hollering at me , at work ! They charged me an extra 5$ without asking me! They preceded to tell me that I signed for a 2$ tip and that I was there an hour and a half before I was there and that it's in my writing on the receipt! First of all I was on a 15 minute break from work so I know exactly when I was there , secondly I didn't get the receipt or sign anything! I didn't leave a tip , I went through the drive through!!! Terrible terrible how I was hollered at and terrible how I was charged an extra 5$ ! Will never ever go back and I will also tell everyone I know ! I know this won't cost them much or change them from their practices but buyer beware ! read more

Low key hidden gem here. If Waffle House was transformed into a taqueria-- but was squeaky clean and smelled of Fabuloso- this is it. The charro beans were so flavorful. The barbacoa taco melted in my mouth. The rice was perfect in texture and fluffiness . Also-- this place is pretty cheap. Perfect for when you are super hungry and don't want to get dressed up. Come alone, come with friends. Very very relaxed ! read more

Taqueria Altos de Jalisco - Chicken enchiladas with extra rice - Mexican Near Me - Hewitt, Texas

the service is good but the food is so expensive for small flavorless and lifeless portions.

Haven't eaten on site, but their to go window is fast and they are very courteous I use Cheese Chili Rellenos as a test, and they more than passed. Theirs is one of the best I've had. Certainly the best in Waco. Also had an order of 3 street tacos - Lengua. Fantastic. Salsa is not overwhelming, as is right for the Jalisco Highlands. Wonderful little place. Please support them. I know I will read more

Horrible place! 1. They lack correct COVID precautions. The two COOKS in the back ARE NOT wearing mask. I only saw this once I pulled up to the window after ordering and paying for everything. As of right now, we're still in the middle of a PANDEMIC but apparently they don't think we are. We decided to just sanitize everything and reheat it since we already paid. 2. Found a large piece of PLASTIC in my son's food. A disgusting hazard. Absolutely unacceptable and we will not be returning. Save your money and go somewhere that is actually taking the correct precautions during COVID and won't try to kill your family by allowing plastic into the food. read more

Taqueria Altos de Jalisco - A very large piece of plastic that was cooked into my food. HORRIBLE! - Mexican Near Me - Hewitt, Texas

Update After a year since coming here I feel I needed to reduce the stars down from five. To be accurate I haven't returned since I took the pic of the ticket where they charged me for a To go container. To be honest the lack of a itimized receipt bothered me. There breakfast was good and rest of the food decent but there are far better places here in the hewitt/Waco area for TexMex food. This food was decent but I am happy I looked around to other places and am glad I know by looking at the menu what my final bill will look like w tax and tip of course. Older review. Ireally enjoy good quality food. This restaurant has excellent prices and the meals are a great value. The ambience is less than many places but the food more than makes up for it. I usually get the sample plate. Not sure what number that is but it includes a tamale little cup queso bean and cheese tostada and beef and chicken fajitas. They also give you two homemade flour tortillas. 1 basket of chips is complimentary and they charge for each additional but actually my fiancé and I both agree that that is great because we are watching our weight. My fiancé likes their fried shrimp platter and their chicken tenders with queso. BTW you are given a menu w pictures and order by number. One night we were given an order of free sopapias which is a dessert as a daily special. Went to breakfast once and my fiancé and I got egg and sausage burritos. I enjoyed mine and added jalapeños and perhaps another item or two. To add extra toppings is very reasonable. My fiancé and I really enjoyed them. Back to my sample plate. It also came with guac and of course rice and beans. You have to wait a bit for your drinks to be filled but like I said the food quality, prices and taste make up for ambience and service being a little lacking. Forgot to mention their flour tortillas are so good the sell them by the dozen. read more

See all

We have had multiple items from here and everything is always delicious! Love the breakfast tacos and fajitas!

Fajita quesadillas dang good!! Tacos Al pastor . The service was great too. Green salsa is spicey

Way overpriced! When compared to other places that are larger, nicer, cleaner and have more seating... the food and service are NOT worth the super high prices. The food is average and the service was horrible. The waiter was snappy and rude and acted like he was above all. When you go to a local establishment you expect friendly service. He was annoyed and definitely made the experience bad. When I asked for a detailed receipt he redid my transaction and said we actually under charged you. A tripa taco that we asked for extra crispy was $6.99. Outrageous considering you can get one that is actually cooked how you ordered it (these were not extra crispy) from taco Z for $1.99! Every plate here is over $11. For that price good food should be good and service should be good. Haven't been here in years... they even charge for "to-go" containers. I'm guessing the reason this place gets away with the outrageous prices is because they are basically the only Mexican place on hewitt drive. Heads up... Rosas is coming soon. Maybe won't be as "authentic " BUT definitely know what you are getting and prices are clear. Just annoyed that no matter how nice we tried to be with these people, service was still bad. read more

*Lorena Location* What more could a Texas girl in a small town want! This little place has some of the best Tex-Mex that I've had in a long time. Food came out hot & super fresh. The place is clean & the staff are very friendly. Prices are also a big plus here!! read more

Taqueria Altos de Jalisco - Lorena Location. - Mexican Near Me - Hewitt, Texas

Just like moms home cooking. Very nice and polite. I never went without a refill. Food was good. I've been here many many times over the past 6 years and never had any issues. Food is great. I've had almost everything on the menu. My family loves it too. Come on in and try it. Yummm. read more

Amazing breakfast tacos, very well priced, no wait and great service! I got two breakfast tacos and it filled me up. The menu is also very detailed and they have plenty of options to choose from. Our wait time for tacos was maybe two minutes- it took us longer to decide what we wanted because it all looked so good! If I lived in the area I would become a regular! read more

Taqueria Altos de Jalisco - Breakfast tacos - Mexican Near Me - Hewitt, Texas

The menu can be a little overwhelming as they have around 50 pictures items, however if you stick to the basics like I do- a few steak fajita street tacos, you'll never be disappointed. Also their churros are insane, best I've ever had. read more

Gotta love the strip mall style Mexican cafe.... They always seem to be set up the same... You walk into a large room with a counter in the rear with wait station where they have horchata on tap sodas by the can... They even serve Topo Chico my favorite! I was greeted and told to sit wherever I like as she continued to mop the floor -1 servise point granted it was 3pm (the dreaded mid shift). As soon as I sat down my server asked what I wanted to drink and I was thirsty so I ordered a tea unsweetend. 3 minutes later she came back and asked if I wanted sweet or unsweetened -.5. Soon after I received hot fresh tasting chips in salsa, standard, nothing special. I ordered the queso flamiato ($5.99) for myself and two ala-carte flautas.($1.75ea). About 7 minutes after I ordered my server puts this huuuuuuge ass plate of greesy cheese goodness in front of me. Then two HUGE flautas that came with healthy servings of guacamole and sour cream, Nice! It was delicious...only 5 minutes into my gluttony sinfulness I had a food baby the size of mini me. I had to GO! I headed to the restroom in a hurry and to my surprise they were FANTASTICALY clean. I found it a little odd though that there was a mirror directly in front of the commode. If you were standing more than 5' your head towers over this mirror. It was ment to be hung that low for some reason. Bathrooms +.5 I headed back to my table and then waited...and waited.... And waited some more until my server came back and says "did you want something". I thought to myself "yeah, how about the check and a box 10 minutes ago". She got me the check and they do it by hand... I didn't get an itemized receipt showing anything just the total amount. It was a little bit higher then I did in my head. I should be happy that Amy Mexican joint takes credit right... Sorry 15% for you but another -.5 for service... As far as cheap Mexican... It was fresh, hot, fast, and what you would expect... The bathrooms were nice, the staff was friendly but not attentive at all. I will return and hope to give them 5 stars. It just wasn't there for me today. It was very clean I want to add. read more

Their thick, freshly made in-house tortilla are a treat. I went with the hashbrowns instead of potatoes with my breakfast tacos and it was the right choice. They had a great crispy, crunchy outer shell and a nice soft potato interior. The queso we ordered came out a little lukewarm, but other than that this place was a great stop for a late breakfast. The line of cars for the drive through was outrageous. So outrageous that you couldn't part on the southside of the restaurant because it was permanently blocked by patrons trying to order some breakfast. That's an excellent sign to me as a new comer to a restaurant. I will definitely eat here again the next time I happen to be in Hewitt. read more

My parents do not keep food in the house. They eat out just about every single meal. They also don't do anything on the weekends except watch TV and sleep. Hmm, that's where I get it. Anyway. After loving the pancakes at Taqueria Altos de Jalisco for breakfast on Saturday, we went home ... staked out our prospective chairs/couches/lazyboys and passed smooth the heck out. About 530pm, my mom wakes up and says we should decide what we wanted for dinner. I jokingly said, we could go back and get those enchiladas that looked so good. Apparently, she didn't pick up on the jokingly part, cause that is exactly what we did. 8 hours later, and we were back. My mom, dad and I all had the Combo #4 (2 cheese enchiladas, rice, beans, and a taco.) My grandfather had a chicken fajita salad. The salad was HUGE! It looked good, but it was all iceberg lettuce and after finally getting rid of a migraine that had hung around for almost 2 full weeks, I wasn't about to start another one. The Combo Platters must have been good because there was not one single bite of anything left on my plate. See yall next time I'm in Waco. read more

I have carried out several times from here n the recent past. Their prices are high and not consistent. I don't know if they are idiots or thieves but they are minus me. I will never order from there again and recommend you don't either. read more

Yeah. Go here. The pastor plate with some fresh lime is incredible So good. Except the side orders. Don't order a side of anything. The chicharones are nothing but a bowl of greasy, nasty, fried bits the size of rice. That is not chicharones. A side of potatoes is a bland bowl of boiled potatoes. Really? read more

Place is a Hidden Gem in Hewitt they got wonderful prices good customer service and they're one of the top on our list for best burritos. We go every chance we get. read more

This Place Is Wonderful, Family Owned Had the taco salad, yummy! Husband had the grilled shrimp, yummy! Service was great! Will eat here again! read more

I occasionally go here, but I feel like they keep their grill a bit too hot. The food often has that sort of overdone flavor. It's not burned; it just tastes a bit overcooked. I do like the fresh tortillas. read more

Great food and fast service. While their Tex-Mex food is on par with most Mexican food in town they serve one of the best burger and fries baskets I have ever had. The fries are lightly beer battered and the burger reminds me of all the great 50's style dinners. Don't let the small parking lot and simple dining room fool you. This restaurant has been a staple do my family since we moved here 15 years ago. read more

Great food and service. They have a green sauce that is amazing!!! I had enchiladas and fajitas meat on them. A friend that is vegan was well taken care of too. Friendly staff, mom and pop type place. read more

I got the soft taco plate 2 go. It was definitely a kid size portion because the tortillas used were tiny/tough. Also the meat was extra hard, along with extra dry beans/rice. The sour cream had cracks in it and the pico de gallo lacked moisture, super dry. I was surprised when I got home to see I paid almost $11 for this. And unfortunately it is not the first time I paid at least $10 for a kid size portion meal 2 go as an adult. I assume their portion sizes have shrunk down a lot but not the price. read more

The food was okay, but the service was terrible I waited forever to get my food and the lady didn't say a word. All she did was hand me the bag which I later found out was filled with beans that were pouring out of the styrofoam container! read more

Food is good, but why do you add lettuce and tomatoes to a asada taco. Never have I heard or seen this? Every taqueria uses cilantro and onion only. Next time I will specify that. The rice is dry and the beans are not good looks like canned beans. read more

I'm torn between 3 & 4 stars Service was good, restaurant was clean and the food had a very good flavor. Con: All of my food was lukewarm, NOT hot. Even first bites were not hot. Companion stated her pancake seemed to need to be cooked longer. (I ordered chorizo & eggs which came w/refried beans and potato chunks. Companion had pancakes & bacon) read more

Yum yum yum. Great food. Always the right order and delicious. Service is great. They are friendly and always a line. Also nice they remember who you are on every visit. Can't beat their breakfast. read more

It's good but it's not great. Their breakfast tacos are their real winner and they have great sweet tea. Service needs improvement, but a nice stop for good Mexican without leaving Hewitt. read more

Favorite go-to spot for breakfast burritos. Fantastic, quick service. Fresh ingredients, inexpensive and clean. Go earlier in the morning rather than later as they've been known to run out of important ingredients (eggs!) anytime after 10 a.m. (This has happened to me twice!) All-in-all, wonderful experience and would definitely recommend. read more

This used to be a great place to go for a good Mexican meal. The family is very nice but it seems like the more popular they have become the worse the food has gotten You can go in and get a great meal or you can go in and get a very cold unpleasant meal. So- I give it 3 stars because it's hit and miss. read more

Really great Mexican food at great prices. The service is really fast and good. Perfect place for breakfast. Definitely worth it.

This place is definitely well known for its' AMAZING breakfast burritos! They're huge and delicious and ughhh. Really great Mexican food for a small place. read more

The food is decent, but for the price your paying you may as well as go to a place like Don Carlos where the food is better. The staff can be a little inattentive as well. read more

Food is always fabulous. I've been eating here for six years. The staff is always polite and get the orders right. When I call my order in it's ready to go as soon as I pull up. read more

Best breakfast burritos ever!! Great customer service. Food is always fast and correct.
