El Jarocho

Wrote a review after they opened that has disappeared. This one three go tos for Mexican food in the area. Service is always friendly and really wonder if two of these women ever take a day off?After getting a drink order chips and salsa will be delivered to your table along with bean dip with queso in it. Always a nice start. Food is fresh and made to order

This place is attached to a gas station. Not what I expected. I'd say it was pretty authentic. They start you off with a bean dip, salsa, and green and red hot sauce. I had the Mocajete for my entree which had chorizo, shrimp, chicken, steak, cactus, and onion blossoms, it had good flavor. My boys had carne asada and a taco (tonight's special was $1.25 ground beef hard shell tacos). We left full. First night staying in Statesville.

The Service was excellent. Food is very good would recommend this little place. It's location was attaches to a gas station but man, the food was awesome.

We stopped off here for lunch and the food was very tasty! The Chorizo was totally legit! It was clear they take pride in their cooking. Service was on spot too, our waiter was very attentive!We will be back the next time we are in the area.

Hasn't been open long but food and service and value is right on.Part of the same building as a Mobile Gas Station. Previously it was a short lived Long John's Silver (for the second time. Service was horrible and that Long John's Silver eventually closedI noticed that El Jarocho which is the name of the new Mexican Restaurant that opened in the sample location about a month ago.Tried it last Tuesday and found out that it was Taco Tuesday with Beef Taco's going for $0.99 each. Had three and will Iced Tea, came to under $5.00.Not the little wimpy taco's you normally get at that price but honest large stuffed Taco's brimming with Cheese. Salsa was a bit mild so I asked for some Red Sauce and it did have a kick to it.Went back today and took two coworkers with me and they enjoyed El Jarocho as well.Very close to the office so found a new lunch spot that will add some variety to lunch.Strongly recommend.

Lunch was amazing ! Lengua tacos were tasty Corn on the cob (elotes) topped it! Cold beers and variety of salsas

This is some of the absolute finest Mexican food I have eaten. I've traveled to Mexico and lived in both California and Texas. We stopped hoping to find a decent meal. Reviews were strong, but you know how that can go. I was flabbergasted. Try the salsa matcha and salsa verde, both were excellent. My wife had enchiladas and tacos. I went veggie with beans, rice, tortillas, and all the fixins. Total bill was $23! I felt like I was stealing so we left a $10 tip. Service was fast, polite, and attentive. I really wish we had this place in the Charlotte area. Quite simply one of the best.

Excellent mexican food with good seasoning. My wife and I got the molcajete, which is a grill combination of steak, chicken, shrimp, and chorizo. I was a large amount and we had left over to take home. The place is easy to mix, as it is in a gas station complex It is close to exit but have to travel about 1/2 mile. The staff was very friendly.

Staff is super friendly and tacos are 10/10!! Restaurant is very clean and probably best Mexican restaurant in town!

The absolute best. The margaritas are fresh and the food is incredible. Authentic Food!
