El Jacalito Reviews
Randomly stopped here, it’s in the back of a strip mall. So glad we did! Seriously the best food! Wonderful service! Delicious! I had a carnitas wet burrito and my husband had 2 empanadas.
The best Mexican I have ever had!!! Hands down! I have been eating at what is considered the best Mexican restaurant in the state of Kansas, my entire life, and I am so glad that I found this place after moving up here to Washington. We have tried a few other places, but nothing compares to this restaurant. The owner is wonderful, and the food is outstanding. The food was extremely fresh and you could taste it in every bite how fresh it was, and then the meat and vegetables are...read full review
I don’t recommend anything here, actually. We’ve just paid $70 for the wrong order that they were unwilling to simply exchange for the correct order. It’s not that hard.

El Jacalito is a family-owned restaurant known for its cozy, welcoming atmosphere. The food is made with love and care, offering delicious dishes like taco salad with homemade pico de gallo. Customers have praised the shrimp fajita salad, birria, and carnitas plate as amazing, highlighting that everything tasted fresh and made in-house. The nachos are recommended for their softness and flavor, and hot and fresh chips with salsa add to the experience. The friendly and warm staff enhance the overall positive vibe, making it a great spot for authentic and tasty Mexican cuisine. Guests enjoy the flavorful pozole, especially its spice level, which is often milder in Washington, and the radish in the pozole is cut into small pieces for added enjoyment. Tacos remain popular, although some reviews suggest that adding salsa or hot sauce would enhance the meal. The chef's attention to flavor and spice makes El Jacalito a favorite for those seeking genuine Mexican food. With a commitment to family-style dining, it’s a place worth visiting whenever in the area.
