Awesome place, love them so much😍
I had the pleasure of being brought here for lunch today and - wow!! The waitstaff is very friendly and accommodating. I had the pastor torta and it was amazing! El pastor is one of my favorite Mexican dishes and I haven't had it in a restaurant where it was this good since I lived out west 25 years ago! We also grabbed a bottle of Coronado vanilla rompope from the grocery store on a whim and weren't sure what to expect. I had the leftover half of my torta and guacamole from lunch...read full review

La Jaliscience Mexican Restaurant & Groceries is a favorite restaurant in Defiance, described as the best Mexican restaurant and even the best restaurant overall. The food is absolutely amazing, authentic, and delicious, not "gringo Mexican." The guacamole is amazing, and the salsa has a taste of its own with chili and cilantro. Specific dishes mentioned include the birria burrito, pollo poblano, tacos, pozole, menudo, and grilled chicken delights, all with good portions that are big enough for two people. The drinks are so good, with huge agua frescas and ice-cold Dos Equis. The rice and beans are amazing. The workers and staff are always nice, very friendly, and provide great service. The restaurant is attached to a grocery store with a wide array of dry and canned goods, great meats, and local baked goods. Parking can be a bit wonky, and sometimes it is better to park at the bank across the street. This family-run business has been around for a long time and is a local favorite.
