Love the buffet
Had a fantastic experience at El Jacalito de Juan! The Mexican food was flavorful, fresh, and tasted wonderfully homemade. The wet burrito, carne asada, and freshly made corn tortillas were especially delicious, with generous portions and authentic flavors. The friendly service and relaxed atmosphere made the meal even more enjoyable. Their weekend buffet is also a great option for trying a variety of traditional dishes. A true gem in El Monte—definitely worth coming back!
Very good caldo de pollo I love the taste and the authenticity it reminds me of home! I love that they added a side of rice and huge limes! And of course the chicken itself was flavorful and delicious very much love to the cook or chef who made this🫶
