El Jarrito

It's been 5 months since we first visited and today we took a bigger crowd after Church. The food was amazing and the service is superb Everyone was impressed!

Why 3 stars? Because, sadly, it was just okay, at best. --- --- ---I hate writing reviews that are less than glowing. I especially hate it when the people I interacted with at that business are all really nice. But it's important to be honest, and in the interest of that, I'm rounding up to 3-stars here if I am purely discussing the food.We ordered all of the staples that we also do when at a Tex-Mex spot: chips & queso with beef fajitas.I will point out the one thing I did enjoy: the rice and beans. The refried beans had a smokey flavor to them. It tasted like they could use a pinch more salt, but I thought they were definitely better overall than most places. As for everything else...The chips? I have to give them 2-stars. I'm not sure if they were less fresh or what, but we just weren't fans. The salsa was really lacking and looked pretty unappealing too. Things improved when the queso arrived, but it was probably average, at best.The beef fajitas came out sizzling like crazy. I was so excited to dive in, but sadly, the beef was very low-grade. They were definitely cheaper than other places at $17, but you noticed the apparent drop in quality. I also ordered a Jamaica agua fresca, a drink I always love every time. Once again, this one missed the mark. I am nowhere near smart enough to tell you why or how, but it just didn't taste quite like it should. Again, everyone we encountered here was top notch friendly. I feel awful for dropping this subpar review on them. But I also have to be real about what I experienced. If everything is 5-stars, nothing is 5-stars. And this was more like 2.5 stars for me.

So empty parking lot at lunch on Saturday should have been first clue. Food was ok at best. Hubby's soft tacos were full of water. Tea was a cup full for $3 and not that great. Enchiladas beans and rice were ok at best. Service was bad. We were one of two tables and had to get waiters attention just to get a tea refill. They do serve lunch menu seven days a week but it's not cheap! Nice enough to give Veterans discount but waiter failed to fill out ticket properly so still didn't get full discount. Sorry but not impressed! Try lowering your ridiculous prices train your waitstaff and you might fill up at lunch. If you fail to get a tip now you now why.

Can't say enough great things about this place the quality taste and service is always . Every-time we come it's sooooo delicious. I finally tried the tacos Al pastor and OMG! I am super picky about good tacos these are legit great. My family loves coming here. The drinks are always the best and big and we bring out of town guest here all the time. The website they have isn't the best but if you're in the area there off Hardin Store Road. It's a family owned restaurant so we love supporting our local spots.

Tried this little place while I was traveling in Magnolia today. It was quiet and had a cute outdoor patio. The customer service was great. Kind hostess and the gentleman who waited on me I believe was a manager. The salsa was warm and has a nice medium kick. Chips were your normal average chips! The beef fajitas were good. 8/10 and the fried ice cream did t disappoint. I'll come back if I'm ever on this side of town. Oh and they had Wi-Fi!

We had takeout from this place couple of nights ago and were very pleased with the flavor and preparation of the dishes all around. We ordered 2 fajita beef burritos and tacos al carbon. Some of the best Tex-mex I've encountered in a while. The order was filled and brought out quickly. I was there during a slow time and one of the employees was mopping an already clean floor. Even with a mostly empty dining room the ambiance was good and I could easily imagine a bustling and noisy room with some cool style and atmosphere. Nice job!

The beef and chicken fajitas were just ok and and rice and beans were cool, as in room temp. Had a side of charro beans that were great, best I've had in a long time. Chips are thin and fresh but the salsa was weak and bland. Service was ok but a few mistakes about what we ordered and what we got starting off with the wrong beer.

Still fabulous!! Quality and flavor still increfible. They have a lunch menu as well as full menu and everything we have tried has been wonderful.

Absolutely love this place.. they are from Jalisco and have an authentic flavor to their food

Service was quick to be seated. After looking around at the establishment it projected a nice ambiance of a Mexican restaurant. The waitress was quick to bring the menus and take our drink order. We ordered the shrimp enchiladas, made to order to my daughters specifications, the street tacos, and a sampler for appetizer. I must say the food was very tasty and came out piping hot. Most definitely would recommend this place
