Jacalito #3 | Mexican Restaurant in Midtown Miami

Food was below average.
My corn elote was undercooked (hard at texture)
Beans are unpleasant to eat, it's not whole beans (just a emulsified paste) lacking flavor.
Steak quesadillas were acceptable and the chicken milanese too.
Service also below average, didn't get our waters refilled and we got our food all at once (even though they clearly display some items as appetizers in the menu). On top fixed 18% gratuity is included, which is fine for an accord able service (not this case)

I've had better Mexican food elsewhere. Not much on plate for the price of meal. It is nicely decorated, but food not so great.

The food was nasty and cold. The waiter never came to check up on us, walked past us, our drinks were empty and didn’t offer any refills. The waitress where inside at the bar on there phones the whole time. Should’ve read the reviews before going!!

Overall 3 stars because of price vs quality. Overall check was around $80 for 2 people! Never going back. Makes sense as to why they were empty. I wish I reviewed and kept the receipt before my husband paid. He just pays and never reviews the bill. 🙄

Went on their taco wednesday. Price per tacos are actually cheap ($2) because they're small and simple tacos. We got 12 ($24 total). Taste is okay. No sauce. I've had waaaay better elsewhere in Miami.

We also got 4 tequila shots, which I think were $5 each, so $20 total.

The math was not mathing at all. Overall check should have been around $57 with tax and tip, but we think they also snuck in or accidentally added gratuity FOR 2 PEOPLE. Even then, the gratuity charge should not have been that much for us to end up paying close to $80.

Had to beg for water refills. Would have been more forgiving if they were busy. We were one of three tables. The two servers seemed to be having a very engaging conversation behind the bar inside

The food was not good. Overcooked chicken and steak was tough. Flavorless. We will not return.

Probably the absolute worst Mexican food I have ever eaten, totally disgusting. The drinks are absolutely horrible as well. Absolute NO flavor, garbage. This is what's going to the trash in the picture.

Hey I didn’t get to try your food or drinks because when I get in trying to use a restroom the girls on the bar stop me to tell me I have to make a purchase in order to be able to use it. I was still going to consume but it will be nice if you let people go to the bathroom or get a glass of water

Stumbled into this place after our first choice Mexican was closed. Waitress was pleasant, margarita and mojito were both solid. Salsa was spicy, as promised, and chips were fresh. Pork was delicious on both our dishes (tacos and bowl). Mexican street corn was the winner, truly delicious. Lunch menu pricing was a fair value for portion, and appreciated that they didn't sneak in 15% gratuity as most other Miami restaurants have done.
