The best Mexican food in town I recommend this place

We got the most basic stuff you can get here and for three people came out to 150 🤣 I wouldn’t waste your money or time here. Chips and Salsa are mediocre small salsa and small thing of chips. Refills are not included. Asking to get cooked onion instead of raw onion is extra on top. Tortillas were just reheated old ones. Al pastor tacos tasted like fake meat pineapple chunks that were hard. The costillas that we ordered medium rare tasted like rubber, and mostly fat and 34.99 wasted🤮 receipt says gratuity for party of 4+ included and we were a party of three and it was already included. If you were here 3-4 months ago it’s not the same.

Ordered Fundto cheese dip and pico. Received no chips to eat it with. okay, maybe a mistake... Called the Flagler location and and spoke to a nice lady. Explained, no chips. She hung up the phone on me. Love the food, but that is terrible.

For years this was one my fav Mexican spots but after yesterday experience we won’t be back. First we were not informed about taco Wednesday, for some reason the waitress did not provide us that menu so we ended up ordering more expensive items. Second on the menu they state they charge gratuity for parties 4+, we were two and they added a 18% gratuity and on top of that they were hoping I did not realize it so they handed me the receipt asking for more. Honestly $80 for one app, 4 soft drinks a torta and a soup is way too much. And don’t get me started with the cleaning of the outside dining area. I’m disappointed.

My wife and I love their tacos, we have tried several other places and this is our favorite!

Wednesdays 2 dollar tacos 🌮 ❤️ ✅️

In search of a family mexican restaurant.
The food was good.
The price and portions are not worth it. I've never stayed hungry after going to a Mexican restaurant. More plate than anything. We won't be coming back.

Food was amazing came here right from the airport it was close the food was delicious and the wait wasn’t long at all!

The food was decent, however the service is pathetic. The waitress there is so rude and annoying with her tone and she mocked me in Spanish. She doesn’t have minimum standards. And on top it they charged 7 dollars gratuity(tip) for a 25 dollar bill without even asking me. They need to learn some basic manners.

I expected Jacalito to be more typical mexican. Food is average and prices are high for this type of restaurant.

Sylvia was so sweet and food was so good will be back

Really authentic, delicious food, good portions! Friendly service and family atmosphere, everything is fairly priced and they have a variety of choices, surely to please every palate!

Be careful when ordering any food on Uber eats from this place. We ordered two seperate orders of Gorditas and Uber eats says you get three Gorditas. Upon food being delivered we only got two in each order. Called the restaurant to mention this and they say is “our chef said he put 3 Gorditas in each order.” Food is good but clearly the service is bad and they didn’t make any attempt to rectify things.

Also, don’t order through uber eats app either because the pricing is significantly higher. For example, to order a Jarritos soda at most places is normally $3-$4. At Jacalito it’s over $7
