Tony's Jacal, a charming restaurant that has been serving up delectable Mexican cuisine since 1946, is a hidden gem worth discovering. Stepping into this establishment is like stepping back in time, with its rich history and nostalgic décor setting the stage for an unforgettable dining experience.
Despite its Solana/Del Mar location, parking is surprisingly manageable, thanks to designated spots scattered around the residential area. The customer service, while not overly warm, is efficient and no-nonsense, with orders taken swiftly and the food arriving fairly quickly, even when the restaurant is busy.
The food is the real star of the show at Tony's Jacal. The shrimp ceviche is flavorful, though some may crave more shrimp amidst the abundance of fresh veggies. The chicken enchiladas Verde and Chicken Mole are both delicious, with the Verde sauce being a standout and the Chicken Mole's rich, velvety sauce another highlight. The homemade flour tortillas are the best, while the elote, though good, is slightly overcooked.
The sauces are alright, but the chilaquiles are a bit bland. The margarita, however, is not up to par, tasting like commercial syrup. But the rice and beans are out of this world, and the chips and salsa are great, with the salsa wonderfully heated.
Overall, Tony's Jacal is a hidden gem worth discovering, with its rich history, charming ambiance, and delectable cuisine that is sure to delight every palate.
