Great food! Fun vibe. Consistent flavors and the best salsa in town! We'll be back every time we want to treat ourselves.

This was recommended to us at our stay. It is a really large mexican restaurant. They have a good menu but no tamale offers. I like an extra tamale if offered. The service was incredibly slow and i almost left twice. When our meals came they were delicious and that made up for the wait. Many mexican families here as groups, prob the best meal in town. read more

We went Saturday, April 4th for lunch. Girl at hostess booth was rude/sick? Not friendly, but walked through the kitchen multiple times, so hope not sick. They charge for Chips and Salsa, 2.99. They don't do "Rainbow/Christmas" enchiladas, but they'll gladly give you the sauce on the side, $2.69. Neither charges were mentioned prior to receipt. Food wasn't spectacular, New Mexico basic. We had to ask for water refills by speaking across the room, and while still waiting for our ticket, she seemed confused why we were still there. She asked if she'd forgotten to give us our card back, our waitress was not very attentive. read more

Hello Everyone, this past weekend Jen & I had to travel to Cliff New Mexico for a funeral service, we stayed in Silver City New Mexico for the night then onto Cliff the next morning, it was dinner time so asked around for a good Mexican Restaurant and Jalisco Cafe was highly recommended so off we went in 34 degree weather and I was in shorts burr. The restaurant was very nice it was one of the older buildings back in the day now a Restaurant, we had to wait for about 30-45min as the place was packed so that tells me that's a good sign, we got seated and order our dinner I had the Bowl of Chili with Beans and have to say it was Delicious ( a bit spicy) Jen had the three Tostada Plate, bean & cheese, shredded beef, and a Guacamole Tostada all very good, oh, you'll have to have the Chips & Salsa very good as well.

This is a large popular place that somehow we have never been to even though we havvisited Silver City many,many times. It's in an old commercial building divided into several smaller rooms which gives your experience a more intimate feel. Salsa was very good, a kind of blend between New Mexico and Texas styles. Chile Relleno plate was great and my wife enjoyed her burger. Her margarita was good also. Service was great. My soda being flat was the only drawback (a small one) to an overall excellent lunch! read more

On the plus side, the decorations inside were giving very much authentic Mexican/Spaniard with the handmade benches and decor. Very nice staff inside, lots of food options, and enjoyable Spanish music. For the cons: The food was not up to my expectations. I got the two burrito bowl which came with rice and refried beans. The burritos looked like stuffed rolled tacos. They had no flavor and neither did the beans and rice. It was very dry and hard to consume. The guacamole was one of the best I've tasted, however. There were no salsas given to make it spicy and no condiments. I will not be returning. read more

I have heard many people rave about Jalisco's so I was a little afraid it wouldn't live up to the hype. I was excited that it was as delicious as I had heard. My husband and I both got the combination taco plate. We both really enjoyed the shredded beef taco the best. The salsa was spicy but flavorful. Our server was attentive and efficient. Our daughter has been picky lately and she even devoured her rice and beans. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Silver! read more

Best Tacos, Enchiladas, and Rellenos in Silver City. That's why they're always so crowded!

Wow! I finally found a really great place in Silver City to eat. As with all good places, be prepared to wait. We came in at 5pm and still had to wait 30-40 minutes. But it was worth it! Service here matches the food, which is excellent. I got the beef platter that had an enchilada with an egg on top (I got sunny side up) 2 tacos, and a chili rellano. It also had rice and beans. It was a huge plate of delicious food. It came out hot and cooked perfect. For dessert or a side you get a yummy Sopadilla with honey. Amazing place to eat in downtown Silver City. read more

The guacamole tostada has PERMANENTLY CHANGED MY LIFE. So yum. The sopapillas were the star of the meal, though! My family LOVED how massive they are. The restaurant is large and beautifully decorated, the ambience is so cozy and nice. We even enjoyed waiting outside for our table because the weather was so nice and there was a good set of steps outside we could sit on while we waited. The ground beef was fine, but the rice and beans and salsa were all deliciously flavorful! read more

The food was very tasty, server answered all of our questions and took our orders promptly. The menu had a great selection. She said she was a bit new there and needed to get some answers for us from the staff. She was very attentive during the meal. The restaurant was very clean and ambiance was nice. Would come back when we are in the area and recommend this restaurant to others. read more

We've been eating at Jalisco for decades. I often get a bowl of red or green chile with beans. But sometimes I get it without beans and a side of refried beans which are delicious. I recently tried combination tostadas and think I might have a new favorite. Their tacos are also delicious, and are available with different meat fillings, or a combination. Enchiladas come with red or green chile, not both. Either is delicious but can be hot. The Chile rellenos can also be hot. If you're not sure about hot chiles, stick with tacos, tostadas, a burger, or steak. Its all good. read more

This was our first visit back to Jalisco's in about 6 years. Silver City has grown considerably in that time. As typical, the restaurant was packed but the noise level was elevated from times past. Thankfully the regions growth has not hurt Jalisco's food quality. Sierra, had moved on but we still had good service. Unfortunately chips and salsa are no longer complimentary. We had the Beef Taco Plate and the Bean Burrito Plate. Both were delicious and reasonably priced. They can fry a tortilla shell and make it hard but pliable at the same time. No broken shell with the first bite! Interestingly they used a tomato slice rather than diced tomatoes. The wife's bean burritos were rather flat and done enchilada style. Different, but good. Too full again to get the sopapillas but they looked great. read more

I had always heard this was the best restaurant in town and I agree! The food was some of the best we have had and we are from Las Cruces. We were a party of five and it was about a half an hour for seating but they were very busy. The staff is excellent. read more

It's clear that the philosophy of this particular café aligns itself with that of our founding fathers. Offstreet parking is available but it can be a little tight. Located in the historic downtown area. It's a cute restaurant with a great menu. We were pleasantly greeted and quickly seated. Our server was fantastic and worked through some of the menu choices. This restaurant offered a nice selection of beer, wine, margaritas and signature cocktails. The tortilla soup had a nice rich, robust, homemade flavor, that really hit the spot. The Chile rellenos were great and offered in either red or green sauce - no Christmas combos allowed! The sopapillas were outstanding to the point where we actually ordered a second dessert - yum! Check out this location for some great Mexican fare the next time you're in the area. read more

I ordered 2 Lg Chicken Combination plates to go. I didn't get what I ordered and then was treated very badly by their staff when I called. I won't go back after that phone call. They should know better. read more

Being born and raised in a small New Mexican town just north of here, I was very excited to eat here because it has been a while since I've had anything that resembles GOOD Mexican food. For the last two nights I have been so excited about trying the food here and was very excited last night when we arrived and was told that the wait was 45 minutes. My husband was extremely hangry so we did not get to eat here then. We got here early today (5ish pm) and the wait was already 10 minutes but this should have been a good sign right? Finally after 20 minutes of waiting and another 10 minutes of deciding what we wanted the waitress came over to get our order. We ordered two margaritas, chips and guacamole, I ordered the chili rellenos plate and my husband ordered the enchilada tacos. When the chips and guacamole arrived I took one look at it and thought it was from Sam's club, absolutely no flavor. I asked for a bowl of salsa to help add some flavor to it but unfortunately I hate to say a can of Hunt's stewed tomatoes has more flavor. The margaritas were not bad but are not worth mentioning any further. Finally dinner has arrived, my chili rellenos was much like the margaritas, edible but not worth mentioning further. My husband's beef enchilada tacos, he said was "blah"; I thought he was over exaggerating but halfway through our meal we like to switch meal and I took one bit and agreed it was truly BLAAAAH. The service was good and the atmosphere was spectacular, warm and welcoming. As a person who is looking at MAYBE applying for a position in this area I would have to say that this restaurant is strike 1 read more

Terrible service, extremely long wait for food when not even busy and the food was terrible. I ate here three times last Spring and it was excellent but not last night and I will not be coming back. read more

4 stars because chips are not complimentary. Food was good. 4 different sauces to choose from. All are spicy. The server gave us samples, as you pay for what you order no matter if it is too hot or not. I ordered the sauce on the side to be sure. Server gave us a senior discount. Do we look that old? Ha Ha! We will be back if we are ever in the area again. read more

Take out diner beware. Absolute ripoff. This is a picture of their menu online. I ordered the steak. It was a takeout order when I called apx 1110, the woman that answered the telephone had to be told three different times what salad I wanted and all I asked for was a house salad with blue cheese dressing on the side. I had to tell her that three times then I requested a side of salsa and chips and she told me to hold on, I guess they have a new system so she had to find it in the computer. Then I asked for a steak and I said I want the one that's the medium size one and so she said 12 ounces I said yes she said how would you like that cooked? I said medium she said medium rare I said no medium. I get down there. I paid for it. They give me the steak and there's no enchiladas rice or beans they told me that the $25 I just paid for the steak is for the 12 ounce ribeye with only nothing else. Absolutely nothing else came with this. I got the salad which is an extra seven dollars or almost 7 dollars , it had the dressing on it I don't know how anybody can screw up a salad, but I guess leave it up to Jalisco's to screw up a salad. What a major rip off for a steak read more

Finding the right New Mexican place can be tricky. Most reviews get distracted focusing on other things but really what most New Mexicans want to know: How's the green chili enchiladas How's the sopapillas And maybe how's the chili or tortilla soup. I got a table in a far corner and enjoyed the ambiance immediately. The layout was nice and the place had a classy vibe overall. The wall art was cool enough that I almost hoped some of it was for sale. My server was quick. She's asked the usual question when in NM; "green or red"? I asked how they were that day and she suggested I sample both. Great idea. The green was fantastic so I went that way. It was a great lunch. I had ordered sopapillas but switched it to go. I was so full from the main dish. Later that day I warmed up the pastries with some butter and honey. They were perfect. I sorta wandered into this place, but I am fairly confident it is one of the best spots in town. read more

Absolutely fantastic! Excellent food. Great service! Can't wait for the next opportunity to come see the wonderful folks at Jalisco!

Great New Mexican flat red enchiladas! The service was also fast and courteous. But don't ask for your enchiladas 'Christmas'. They won't do it! I'm sure this is a 'Hatch Green Chile" local etiquette kinda thing. So I ordered green on the side. Red was way better (no offense Hatch folks). read more

YUMMY YUMMY best place in town.prices are pretty reasonable I highly recommend this restaurant

If you like red and green sauce then you definitely enjoy this place. They warn you ahead that everything is spicy. They give you a taste to make sure you know what you are getting into. Get the burger if you want to be safe. My green sauce was great and the cheese melty. The chicken in my enchilada was super fresh with green sauce with a kick. Mild kick. Rice was too salty. Refried beans was delicious. Soup was mild spicy but loved that they put avocado in it. Sopapilia is humongous and the best out of the two restaurants. Go with 3 instead of two since one cost $2.69 already! Loved the salsa. Chips were very fresh. A bit political - there are signs taped by the frint window and on the side of the building. You definitely get a sense of the owner's opinions. Service was great. It's a cheerful place. read more

Service is good, but come an hour before you are hungry, they are always busy because the food is really delicious! Ask for a Spicy Margarita with a spicy salt rim, you won't regret it! The Chips & Salsa is not included but worth the 2.99 the Salsa is nicely spiced & the Margarita's are buzz full read more

Good authentic Mexican food and Sopapillasljv are a great finish. This is a good second to Goyitas new restaurants in Tucson

It's been years since we ate here, and we're so happy to report that the quality and quantity of food have not changed. Excellent service. The only change we noticed was having to pay for chips and salsa, which were fresh and flavorful. I had open faced chicken enchiladas, and the husband had hamburger tacos. Beans and rice delicious. Their tea is strong and flavorful. read more

I thought this place was pretty good, and the service was great. It was really busy in Silver City but we got in fairly quickly. My friend was not impressed with her chicken tortilla soup (it had carrots in it and was bland) so I wouldn't recommend that, but my dish had a good spicy flavorful red Chile sauce and yummy frijoles. The sopapilla was worth ordering extra at the end! Oh-and my golden Cadillac margarita was spot on! I'd recommend this to anyone visiting Silver City. It's not the greatest Mexican food I've had in my life, but it definitely hit the spot to satisfy my craving! And the atmosphere was really nice and open with lots of windows-not a bad table in the place. read more

We travel 3 hours for their guacamole alone. Always busy but they do a wonderful job with the food and service. A must visit for us.

Why this place isn't 5 star every review is strange! Great Service, Great Food, a little loud on Saturdays when it gets super busy, but a joyful atmosphere! Every time! Never had a server that wasn't top notch either. Worth the 30 minute waiting list! read more
