My girlfriend and I met at El Jacalito for dinner for our monthly meet-up.Free parking can be found in the parking lot. Discover is an accepted form of payment.El Jacalito can easily accommodate large parties. Indoors is sparse and on the shabby side. There are a couple TVs mounted on the walls. El Jacalito does not have a bar/lounge area.El Jacalito has two different menus'; a dining menu and a to-go pick-up order menu. During our visit, we were the only patrons dining in. There were several people picking up to-go orders during our visit.Complimentary chips and salsa are provided to snack on while reviewing the menu options. The salsa was mild in heat and thin in consistency.Draft beer is not served; however, Mexican bottled beer is. I slurped on a couple Negra Modelo's for $6 each.My girlfriend ordered the Two Birria Tacos for $15.95.I ordered the Chicken Enchiladas for $18.95.El Jacalito is family owned. Service was chummy. Maria was good-natured and prideful in her food and establishment. Thank you, Maria for your hospitality.Overall, it is important to support family-owned businesses. I plan on sampling several other menu items in the future.

In short:A friendly and very well-run place with good food and a menu that's a little longer than a taco shop's and a fair bit shorter than a family-style spot.In long:This is kind of a funky series of strip malls along a busy road headed to and from the freeway. People drive by here dozens of times before they even realize how many good food places are scattered through here, let alone try them all. And that includes me. There's a decent amount of parking here, and inside are a dozen booths and a couple tables. Service is friendly and prompt. You get a menu that's a single laminated sheet, double-sided, with photos. Even in the middle of a warm Saturday afternoon, there were plenty of other people around. The blinds were drawn, and every tune on the speakers featured an accordion. The whole vibe felt a long way from the busy street right outside. They bring the usual salsa, not too thick, with super-crunchy, thick tortilla chips. So good.I checked out a taco and a couple tamales. They offer a few styles of taco; little street tacos, bigger ones with hand-made tortillas, and quesabirria style too. I went with the second one, with carnitas. (4 other kinds of taco meat available to choose from.) Great flavorful tortilla, and really good filling. Not the biggest seasoning punch to the meat, but delicious. Fresh radish, cilantro, and lime, too. They bring out two amazing salsas. So good I asked if they bottled and sold them. The waiter chuckled and said he thought they might be able to work something out, but I didn't press it this time. Only because I already have 20+ bottles of salsa and hot sauce in my house. The tamales were fine, maybe kinda falling apart and getting a tiny bit grainy, but good flavor. I got the rajas and would have loved more fire from the jalapenos. I asked the waiter what else I should try next time, and he immediately said birria, and/or a wet carne burrito. This place is pretty close to my house so I will be back to try those soon for sure.

If you haven't had handmade tortillas, I highly recommend to visit El Jacalito in Everett. They have Friendly staff. Very good portion sizes. Authentic flavor. Sauces are not too spicy. My husband and I had the quesatacos w consomé and 2 tacos de asada and Al pastor. The tacos are huge. Multiple parking spaces. Clean tables and a lot of sitting.

This place is amazing. The food is the most authentic Mexican food in Western Washington. I grew up in Los Angeles and know what good Mexican food tastes like and it's not at La Palmera. The food is so delicious, home made tortillas, chips and the salsa is so fresh and delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant. Maria and her husband are so kind and welcoming .

Just dropped by on a whim (without even checking Yelp) and this place did not disappoint. Food was delicious!! Bf ordered a carnitas burrito which was massive. I ordered the chicken chimichanga and an Al pastor taco - both were amazing but I will be back to try every single taco on the menu. Their handmade tacos are made with fresh handmade tortillas. The Al pastor meat was so flavorful and delicious. Family owned restaurant, service is friendly and attentive. Plenty of booth seating inside. Give this place a try!

Lovely family owned spot. Very thankful, welcoming, and friendly owners. Great energy. Nice that they have regular tacos and big tacos, though we opted for only the big ones because we had an appetite. Support local!You get started with chips and salsa on the house. I loved the chips, amazing crispiness and crunch. Would not be surprised if they're made in house. Salsa was fine, though the highlight for me were the chips. Birria comes with four tortillas. Originally thought it was a birria taco but it's the stew version with tortillas on the side.I ordered one of every meat to try and see what I liked most because in the past I've had very chewy asada that pained my jaw to chew and have been afraid of committing to asada since. The tortillas were nothing special, though I think they are also made in house. They held up well for the tacos and presented no issues. I wish they would add a little grease or sauce from the meat to add a bit of flavor.Pollo - a little dry, also not that much chicken. Least favorite by far.Asada - pretty good steak that's sliced in small cubes, not overly chewy. My fourth favorite meat but it was definitely still good.Chorizo - I honestly wasn't sure if I had a chorizo taco as it wasn't obvious. The appearance was obvious, but taste wise I almost thought it was a different way of preparing al pastor for whatever reason because they tasted very similar. Because of this, I give chorizo my third favorite.Al pastor - fatty and grilled perfect. Best meat here by far, usually the best at other taco spots anyways. There was a lovely tangy flavor that I would likely attribute to pineapple. Carnitas - amazing, fatty, and a big portion of meat. Second favorite meat.

We ordered the steak tacos, chicken enchiladas and cheese enchiladas. My husband considers himself a chicken enchilada connoisseur and I can honestly say I have never seen him eat anything so enthusiastically. He even gave the owner a hug on the way out and told me later she's going to be his next wife. We're going back tonight. Amazing food. Great people.
