2 for 1 Margaritas $11 delicious!
I'm impressed food was amazing 👏
This is an update of my previous review. We had a group lunch today (October 14, 2026) and were pretty disappointed. The service was slow and poor. One of our party never got their food but a bill still came at the end. The server seemed unconcerned about the missing meal as did another staff member that was made aware of the situation. We won't be back.

El Jalisco Southwood Mexican Restaurant is a family-owned place that offers consistently good food and a pleasant atmosphere, especially appreciated by the Latino community. Customers mention that the food is generally tasty, with the shrimp abodo receiving positive comments. However, some dishes like carne asada may not meet expectations, as one reviewer found it tough and lacking flavor, with possible seasoning residue. The restaurant's to-go service has experienced issues, such as missing tortillas and cold food if not picked up promptly, though recent visits showed improvements with warm, tasty meals ready quickly. The staff, including Nataly and Vanessa, are praised for their kindness. Overall, the restaurant is considered better than the North Monroe location but not quite as good as the Crawfordville branch. Despite some minor setbacks, many customers enjoy supporting this local spot, finding the environment welcoming and the food enjoyable.
