El Jaliciense is a popular Mexican restaurant in Montpelier known for its friendly service and welcoming atmosphere. The restaurant offers a variety of vegetarian options, including beans, rice, quesadillas, and veggie fajitas, to suit different dietary needs. Customers often praise the authentic Mexican cuisine, especially the carne asada, which is razor-thin and crispy, and the fried ice cream, fried in churro dough, described as an "insanely good" treat. The beef fajitas are also highly recommended, featuring well-seasoned meat cooked to perfection and a generous portion of meat. While some reviews mention that service can be a little slow due to being short-staffed, the overall experience remains positive. The restaurant’s quick service, reasonable prices, and authentic horchata add to its appeal. The food quality is evident, even if there are occasional minor cleanliness issues. Despite some variation in staff attentiveness, many guests plan to return, drawn by the good food and inviting atmosphere. The restaurant is family-owned, and the love for making flavorful dishes shows in the positive reviews. The bathroom entrance is located out in the back, which some find a bit funny.
