Hands down the best Mexican restaurant we have ever been to. Service and food were both amazing!

It's been some time since I've been to a spot that has made me want to write a review. Either it was so bad that my review would be cruel or just wasn't good enough to write about it at all. Today changed that. This hidden gem is a jackpot! The staff is warm and welcoming. The atmosphere is minimal but inviting. The menu is not your typical quesadillas and burritos although they do have them too. We opted for the guacamole, molcateje, tacos al pastor and gringas. The quack was chunky and delicious! The molcateje was hot and bountiful. Steak, shrimp, chicken and chorizo piled high. My tacos al pastor were tender and flavorful. Beer was ice cold and at $5 a pop, you couldn't go wrong. I think this restaurant is better than some of the much pricier options in Fishers and Indy. My only regret is that we don't live closer. It's a must visit when in Kokomo. read more

The Jungle Mexican Cantina - Tacos Al Pastor - Mexican Near Me - Kokomo, Indiana

Excellent food, great service. Unique menu items as well as traditional favorites. There are tables and booths of various sizes, and a full bar. I ordered a wet vegetarian burrito with pineapple. It was excellent, and my sides of bean and rice were flavorful. I tried both hot and mild salsas. This restaurant is a little off the beaten path but well worth a visit. read more

The service was good, they offer a military discount and the food came out quick and hot. The food was meh. Not much flavor and the cilantro was overpowering on the street tacos. We got queso as an appetizer and it was overpowering priced. read more

This was my go-to place until one rainy Wednesday evening. Closed for no apparent reason other than weather?

Horrible customer service. Hostess was incredibly rude and gave atrocious attitude. There are many more decent Mexican restaurants in Kokomo worth going to over this one. Disappointing read more

First time my husband and I ate there. the service was EXCELLENT. I had a house margarita and it was very very good. I had garlic shrimp--very good. I forgot what my husband ordered--something with chicken and chorizo. He said it didn't have much flavor. One thing that I will definitely ding them on....the salsa that was served with the chips WAS OUT OF A BOTTLE..I saw them filling the little cups! Sacrilege! A Mexican restaurant that doesn't make their own salsa and pico de gallo?? Anyway . . .go there for drinks after work or on the weekend because the margarita was top notch. read more

First time coming here and must say I am impressed! So the food is Mexican, but it is more of an upscale I would really use the word. They just took it up a notch. They don't have some of the things that you might see other Mexican restaurants but everything seems and looks very delicious. I really did enjoy this restaurant and also the Horchata was very authentic more on the rice side not the cinnamon. I believe I would definitely try their drinks. Also, the service was amazing. I never had to ask for anything and very informative. The restaurant is located at the old big daddy's if you are from Kokomo, you know and they did very good changing the atmosphere I would come here for a first date for Mexican versus any other restaurant in town. read more

This the go to in Kokomo for my wife and I. We've tried everything on the menu, it's all great. Wife's favorite is the Chacalele while mine is the Verde Burrito with Carnitas. Service is always 10/10. They use clean cooking and drink ingredients and we notice we don't feel like crap after eating there. This place is the best! read more

I really enjoy going to this Mexican restaurant. The food is delicious and fresh and they really care about serving high quality dishes to their customers. I always feel welcome here; almost like part of the family. The speciality margaritas are the best! read more

Overpriced and underwhelming. Probably the worst carnitas I've had. And I won't even mention the salsa that tasted like tomato juice.

We tried The Jungle Mexican Cantina restaurant last night. We got the takeout. All I can say is, We are definitely disappointment from the food we bought We usually get our food from Don Pancho Villas restaurant. From now on We will only get Mexican food from Don Pancho Villas read more

Outstanding all around! Try the skirt steak street tacos. They are world class. The beers are cold and service perfect. The place has a cool vibe and decorated to match the cantina look and feel. read more

We had a fantastic experience! Our server, Ernesto, was excellent--patient with our questions and had great recommendations for everyone at the table. The food was absolutely delicious, and the margaritas were spot on. Service was a 10 out of 10. All four of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals. Highly recommend! read more

Service and ambiance were decent. I had the steak fajitas, which were just ok - too many veggies in my opinion. The refried beans tasted like they were made from powder and the rice was bland. My wife had the verde burrito with similar feedback. Cannot recommend. read more

This place never disappoints and I'm always warmly welcomed here. Everyone is absolutely wonderful, and you can never go wrong trying the Jungle for a good lunch or dinner. Please give this place a try! read more

Excellent fresh food and great service! First time visiting Kokomo and found the location on Yelp.

We had such a great experience at The Jungle! The fajitas were absolutely delicious--full of flavor and perfectly cooked. On top of that, the customer service was excellent. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and made us feel really welcome. We travel all around the United States and globally, and this spot truly stands out. If you're in Kokomo, just give them a try--you won't be disappointed! read more

This is the best restaurant in Kokomo!! I would even say compared to the north side! The Birria is fantastic. The margaritas are wonderful and you can't beat the service. read more

The Jungle Mexican Cantina - quesabirria street tacos - Mexican Near Me - Kokomo, Indiana

The tacos I had were ok. The staff were wonderful and it was very busy on a Sat night. The menu is limited but that could be good. I will be back again to try some other dishes. Thanks! read more

The only differences between this place and the other Mexican restaurants in town, smaller menu, more seafood options, smaller sizes They do bring out small ramekins of salsa, one mild, one hot. The amount of salsa offered isn't enough for 1 person, and we were not offered any more The burrito I had, it was OK, not really anything different from what you find in town - and a let down if you are used to the offerings in Mexico or the southwest USA. (those places that make the tortillas in house) The only other comment I have was the soft drinks, they are in small, but "cute" glasses - but when it came to refills, it felt we were being encouraged to go with something stronger I won't avoid this place in the future, but I also won't make a special trip here read more

Fresh delicious food and cold strong drinks. Nice clean bathrooms and the staff are very nice.

Terrific lunch! Who was deliberate, hot and fast and fresh and my server was very polite! Everything was spot on!

Another GREAT meal at The Jungle!! The food is spot on! The service is second to none and the menu options meet our families needs. Can't say enough positive things about this place! read more

Best food in Kokomo. Big portions of food, good pricing, the service is always a 10. No matter who I get as a server the service is always pleasant. It's a welcoming environment, everyone is always smiling. The owner is absolutely wonderful, goes out of their way to make things perfect. I absolutely love The Jungle read more

I was referred to this place by a friend. Hands down this is one of the best Mexican restaurants in Indiana. The food was full of flavor and their margaritas were margaritaing! Fast service and Spanish music playing in the background. I had the quesabirria street tacos with rice and it was the bomb. My wife had the Mexican Street tacos and loved it. I will be back to get their quesabirria street tacos again. If it ain't broke don't fix it ! I recommend this place! Come by asap when you're in Kokomo, IN read more

I hate this place and would never go back if my family did not want to go. What kind of name is The Jungle for a restaurant? I think of a lot of things besides Mexican. The building looks sketchy and abandoned. There is a storage room up front that you can see into from the road, and drive right past to get into the parking lot. Portions are small and expensive. $15 for a taco salad. Nothing special. When I got it there was a puddle of clear water at each end of the oval plate. As I ate it, the water mixed with the beans to make what looked like a sewage runoff. The bottom of the shell was mush and remained me of a wet diaper in my mouth. Stingy with chips and salsa. Small bowls for both seems to be an individuals portion but 4 people are expected to share it. If you buy the cheese dip you would think extra chips would be brought with it. You could as the wait staff for more but they are busy making drinks at the bar. There are better, cheaper, and more economical Mexican restaurants in Kokomo. read more

Food was great, waiter was very nice. They have a mild salsa and a hot salsa which is a huge plus for my family.

Please, if you go get the birria tacos. Omg amazing. Great service, it wasn't busy at all.

Let's be real. Why are you going to any other Mexican restaurant in the area when this place exists? Service? Incredible. Food? Immaculate. Ambiance? Impeccable. The beers are big, bold and cold. The Birria is braised and bodacious. Seriously, eat here. read more

Service and ambience good. I am a taco nut and I didn't care for their street tacos. I have had better in a few places in Kokomo. The other menu items may be great did not try read more

The cutest and tastiest place in town to get mexican food! It's a good price for what you get and they have a great selection of food and drinks read more

We just found out about the place recently. We have been twice in the past two weeks and really enjoyed it! It "feels" clean and fresh without a scent of cleaner. I am a fan of a small menu as a big menu equals a big freezer...and this place has variety but a smaller menu. The chorizoqueso was very good. The guac was very good but needed additional salt, but that is easy enough for you to correct to taste. The pazole, which is a Thursday special, was plentiful and delicious. The chacalele is fabulous and we had leftovers which I'm looking forward to eating tomorrow! read more

We were a party of 3. One ordered Arrozz con pollo, another fish tacos (off menu with grilled veggies), and I had the quesabarrila street tacos. The portion sizes are substantial, the taste was amazing, and the atmosphere was spot on! We each loved our dishes, respectively. I was impressed by the wait staff who graciously made off-menu suggestions. I cant wait to go back and try the pineapple bowl or the diablo shrimp! read more

Service was great! Food was good! Atmosphere was nice and plenty of room to accommodate large groups. It's in an awkward spot so they might need to advertise more and get a more visible sign to attract business. read more

Good service. Great carnitas. I hadn't expected quality Mexican food in North Central Indiana, but The Jungle had it. They offer your familiar fajitas, enchiladas, and burritos, but also some unique items on the menu as well. They make a really good margarita as well. read more

Very good. Very nice people and the servings were plentiful. Will definitely return.

First time eating here. Very good margaritas and the food was great. Will be back ! Friendly staff

New Mexican cuisine restaurant in Kokomo. Service was excellent, bartender did a great job, food was very good. As long as they keep this quality up, it's worth checking out. read more
