Tortas Jalisco

Food is always great and they have a good variety of food. Angel is always friendly and cares about the customers he serves. Conveniently located next to a great pool hall. Their El pastor tacos (my favorite) are next level good.

I have been enjoying this place ever since they were in the gas station. I just walk in and say "what do you suggest" never do nice have they steered me wrong. Their sauces are to die for and they have the best chilaquiles.

Had dinner delivered - great dinner on a Friday evening. Website ordering was easy. Food traveled well, still warm when it arrived, even the delicious tortilla chips! I love Tortas Jalisco's chips and they gave us a lot. Guac is chunky (also my preference). We did the tacos, ordered three different kinds for four adults. The tacos are full, though the soft tacos are street taco size. It was enough for us on a casual evening on our patio. Definitely recommend trying their delivery if you can't eat in.

We used to eat here quite frequently. Now I remember why we stopped going to Tortas Jalisco.First, you have to pay $2.79 for chips and salsa. I have never eaten at another Mexican restaurant that makes you pay for chips and salsa.Second, the $4 house margarita is small, maybe 12 ounces tops, with little if any tequila. A waste of $4. I got a better buzz from the ice water.Third, the guacamole ($4.99) is very small and loaded with tomatoes and onion (filler). $2.99 maybe, $4.99 forget it.Fourth, they have raised their prices on many dishes by a buck or cut the amount of food. For example, you now only get 4 tacos for $6.99 (instead of 5) and they eliminated carne asada (steak) as a "meat" option, the only choices now being chorizo, pork (carnitas or adobada), chicken or ground beef, all of which are much less costly than steak.Finally, the food is mediocre by California or Texas standards, but slightly above average for Lawrence. The place is always empty, likely the result of weak, overpriced margaritas and having to pay for chips and salsa ... this is a college town folks!CombatCritic Downgrades Tortas Jalisco To 5 Out Of 10 Bombs (Rounded Up To 3 Out Of 5 Stars) ...

Like other reviewers, this is my favorite Mexican restaurant in town. Having said that, I don't recommend every item on the menu. You have to know what to order. Below are items I consider "special". The list is limited to my favorites, but there are other great items on the menu.Chilaquiles!!! - This might be one of the best dishes on any menu in town. It's so good that I can't NOT order it. It's magic. Get the fried egg on top and stir everything together for the perfect sauce. It's got a low slow burn to it so if you're a spice sissy, it's not for you. Chips and Salsa - served with a green and a red salsa. Green salsa is the only one for me. Spice-challenged individuals beware, it packs heat. The red salsa is what I'd consider mild. I tend to ignore it, but it's well loved by many friends. Queso Blanco - I ordered the yellow cheese dip one day (embarrassed to admit this), but lucky for me they were out. They offered the white cheese dip instead.It's the best I've ever had. It's thin, flavorful and they throw in a spoonful of pico de gallo. I'm done with lumpy yellow cheese dip forever! Fish Tacos - They have a few different versions of fish tacos on the menu these days. Plain ol' fish tacos are my favorite. I crave these tacos. I've even attempted to recreate them at home. 3 tacos served on small white corn tortillas. They contain bits of fried fish, onion, tomato and cilantro. The lime wedges should be squeezed generously over each taco. Ask for extra lime if needed. They're served with 2 tortillas per taco but I always eat them with one. The extras can be used in creative combinations with the beans, rice and left over queso blanco. Get wild.Chicken Fajita salad - This is a great "lighter" option. You won't feel as guilty about all the chips and salsa you consumed. If you ordered the Guacamole, add leftovers to the salad. It's awesome. Poblano cream sauce - I would pretty much eat anything covered in this sauce.Mexican Martini - I fell in love with these in Austin. They have the best, but Tortas makes a good one and they're very reasonably priced. TIPS: 1. They have a large outdoor dining area. 2. It's a great carry out option. They securely pack the food for transport.3. They own another very good restaurant in the 700 block of Mass called, Mexquisito. Even better green and red salsa served there.

The chips and salsa are made in house, and are the best in town. The green salsa is very spicy, not made with tomatillos, and really great!I also like the tortas, chilaquiles, and the carnitas.Service can be slow in the evenings, so it's not a good place for a quick dinner. The staff is very nice and it's kid friendly.

Easily the most authentic tacos in Lawrence. My recommendation is the five soft shell tacos. Choose your meat of choice--I prefer steak or chicken and each one will be served in a small double-wrapped corn tortilla with fresh onions and cilantro and a pile of limes. Not fancy, but downright delicious. May not look like a lot to eat but trust me, you'll think it was plenty an hour later.Not your run of the mill Americanized Mexican, ie., put a bunch of crap on a plate and cover it up with thick gooey melted cheese until it's all runny. No thanks. That's not what the food looks like south of the border, and it shouldn't look like it here. Their specials are respectable and simple. Don't pass them up.The chips and sauce flow freely before the meal. Good selection of Mexican beers. The service can be funky since it's a small family run joint, but its never been a problem. Oh yes, and the margarita pitchers... they may not taste like they're loaded, but they are. I don't always eat Mexican food, but when I do, I choose Tortas Jalisco. It's the MOST INTERESTING Mexican in Larryville. Have fun.

Tortas Jalisco is the most authentic mexican restaurant that I've eaten at in Lawrence and one of my personal favorites. The green salsa is the best I've ever had and the Queso Blanco is as good as any I've ever eaten. Their chips and salsa aren't complimentary but they are hands down worth paying for when you receive hot chips and amazing salsa.The only dish that I haven't liked was their fajitas which wasn't bad but it wasn't a home-run either. After dozens of meals here, my go to meal is simply their five taco combo with beef and pork with fresh cilantro and lime. Their drinks are stiff and cheap too.

Service is terrible. Owner has anger management issues. I was yelled at after I received the wrong order and asked if they could fix it. I know working in customer service is difficult so I always try to be as polite and accommodating as possible and I don't think I deserved to be yelled at for asking if I could get the meal I paid for.

Best Mexican food in town , you can't go wrong with there tacos or any of there chip options. no other Mexican restaurant come close to their authenticity. Get the chorizo tacos and bean dip
