I saw good reviews for el Jakal on tripadvisor and it looked cute each time I walked by it on my way into town. So, we checked it out for lunch one day. The menu has a nice assortment of small items tacos, ceviches, and tostadas as well as bigger plates with full meals (coconut shrimp, shrimp burger, stuffed pineapple). There are some vegetarian options (ceviche cauliflower??) but otherwise, it's pretty heavy on seafood. We ordered the coconut shrimp and a fish ceviche to share. Coconut shrimp were nice and big and came with a pineapple dipping sauce- the fries, rice and salad that accompanied it were just so so. The ceviche was unlike anything id had before- shredded carrots made up 70% of it and flaked fish was in there too. Not the ceviche I was expecting and tasted more like carrots than fish.
Not a bad lunch, and perhaps the tacos would be a better choice, but with what we ordered I don't think we would be back read more
