Lots of choices in this area for Mexican food, El Jalisco rates as one of the best and for good reason. Great service, a great menu (a lot more choices that so many others in the area). Also reasonably priced and worth a visit.

Outstanding margaritas and buy 1 get 1 free (huge margaritas), I like steak so I got steak tacos which were delicious, add some house hot sauce and it’ll be even better 🤤🤤🤤
February 2026
Steak fajitas was overcooked and dry but generally food was ok on everything else. Portions were small compared to other mexican grill restaurants nearby. We will probably not go back though as other nearby mexican grill restaurants are far better in taste and with portions.
