Came here for dinner with my girlfiend. As soon as we walked into the door we are greeted & told to sit anywhere we'd like. So as we looked for a table to sit down at, I notice our waiter, is already grabbing chips and salsa for us. As soon as we sat down he had all of that ready for us & greeted us. He asked us what we would like to drink, we ordered our drinks. Not even a minute later we receive them. At this time we notice off the bat that the Carne Asada Nachos looked irresistible, so we went ahead and ordered them to start off with while we looked further into the menu for our dinner entrées. We receive them 3 minutes later. The Carne Asada Nachos were absolutely amazing. We loved everything about them, the presentation, the flavor. The carne asada was thick, juicy & tender. It also had guacamole on it, wasn't too crazy about that, but everything put together made it perfect.
About a few minutes pass, he returns & asks us if we were ready to order, we both order the Carne Asada Plate. After ordering he asks us again if we have everything we need. Our waiter was really attentive & made absolutely sure we were having a good experience here. It's been a very long time since I've had a waiter this genuine. A couple minutes pass, our food arrives, just after we finish the nachos. Lightning fast service. The plates were huge and had tons of food, we were very excited to eat. So we begin eating our entrees. Immediately, we fell in love, the carne asada was cooked to perfection, every single bite exploded with flavor. The beans & rice were good as well, nothing special though. The guacamole was ok. But the steak, the steak... I can't even. After finishing our main entrees. We were stuffed & very satisfied. Our waiter made sure the whole time we had everything we needed and kept our cups full.
I have not had any Mexican food this amazing in a very long time, I have only tried a handful of Mexican restaurants out here in the Imperial Valley, so far, Jalisco's is on the top of my list. The customer service was amazing, our waiter deserves to be accommodated for his elite customer service. The food came out really fast, there was endless salsa and lemons at the salsa bar & most importantly the food was absolutely amazing. We were very happy with our entire experience here. We will be coming back a lot more.
We had to seat ourselves  The hot sauce bottles on the table were almost empty and looked like they hadn't been touched in months, one moldy. My husband got a very nice bowl of soup, my order never came but it was  certainly on the bill  The guacamole was not fresh. We left a 50€ tip. Yuck
Review Source:Ordered carne asada taco. Asked for: corn tortillas, got flour, no onions, got several large soggy scallions atop, guacamole with no onions or cilantro, got it anyway... then got watered down avocado sauce. The meat was tough and had no flavor. The salsa bar had a variety of selections... also no flavor, muy bland. The rice however, was very good... great flavor.
This was my first, most likely my last, visit. When my server brought the check, he asked about the meat, after I told him, he told me that I should've ordered anything else on the menu... "I don't eat it here, I can make it at home, much better". Now wouldn't you think this little tid bit of information should've been suggested prior? Just sayin!
I don't know if I should rate their service. This is why I went for lunch today and I was ask to sit where I wanted so I sat at a very visible table. I was sitting there waiting for someone to help me and take my order for 10 min, but no one  did so I got up and left but notified the hostess about the situation. Given my experience I would not recommend or rate because no service was rendered to me so please forget the 1 star rating I had to put at least one to post, but not deserved.
Review Source:One of the only places open on new years, so despite the complaints of it being slow we decided to risk it on our trip from az to San Diego.
Waitress took our orders within 2 min, food was delivered 5 min after that. Some of the best Mexican I have ever had, and that is saying a lot. Husband had Carne asada burrito. Meat was on the lean side, guacamole and tortilla were great. I special ordered a grilled chicken tostada with no onion. Came exacty the way I wanted, and with GRILLED not pulled chicken. Beans were delicious, and the roasted veggie salsa was BOMB! Ordered 16 oz to go. 2 meals, 1 drink, salsa to go = $19 with tax before tip. Â Geat food great value eat here!
We've been coming to this place off and on for the last 5 years. It is basically hit or miss when it comes to food quality and service. If it is a hit, the food is good, the service is attentive, and your order will be correct. Unfortunately, we get more misses with this place than hits.
We came here a few months ago, and it will be the last time we come back. It took the waitress 15 minutes to bring drinks and our food took over 20 minutes to be served. It wouldn't have been an issue if the restaurant wasn't practically empty, the waitress didn't leave our food sitting in the pass for who knows how long, and she hadn't been socializing the whole time. We had to get up and ask for our food to be brought to us, ask for our check, and ask for a to-go box 2 times. Hey waitress, you sucked! We had no problem leaving a big fat $0 on the tip line, which is a rarity for us--I usually tip at least 20%. I also didn't care for the big chuncks of fat included on my carnitas plate. We used to get food to go, but every time we did they would get our order wrong somehow. Since the food isn't that great and is spendy for the quality you get, we are done with this place. I would not recommend it.
I came here with some coworkers who are regulars at this establishment. Â I had steak enchiladas, and they were pretty good. Â There is also a condiment bar with various salsas, and importantly, jalepenos! Â Similar to the other reviews, the service is a little slow, but we didn't mind it much since we were enjoying the food & company. Â
I would definitely return here again.
This is a hole in the wall Mexican restaurant with a bar attached. Â I agree with the other review about the service being a little slow, even when there aren't many customers.
I ordered the enchilada plate with a side of grilled jalapenos. Â Surprisingly, the jalapenos were not too spicy. Â The enchilada plate was as delicious as I had imagined. Â For $11.95, it's hard to complain.
This place is located in a strip mall with Vons and a Wendy's. Â I came here for lunch on a recommendation from a friend who had been here several times. I'd forgotten what he had recommended, unfortunately, so I ordered a machaca burrito ($5.99). The burrito was huge and filled full of machaca (shredded beef) and diced green chili peppers (I ordered without beans). The flavor was good and similar to what I'd find in the LA area.
When you sit down (anywhere you'd like), the servers bring you a small bowl of salsa and chips to munch on. When you have finished, you can help yourself to the salsa bar and reload your bowl. There are salsas of various spiciness, along with your choice of lemon, cilantro, and onions to add if you wish. Other items on the menu were carne asada plates, fajitas, pizole, enchiladas, and salads.
