Jacalito Grill

I'm still working on trying out several of their menu items, so I can only speak to their Peruvian chicken, nachos, and yucca.I get the Peruvian chicken with yuca 95% of the time. I am never disappointed with this order (personally speaking).The nachos didn't match the photos on the wall. I thought I'd have fewer nachos (with ground beef) , like a light meal like I wanted. It came out like a meal for 2 lol. Super heavy. I wished there was a bit more salt in it, but it was still good.

This mom and pop restaurant serves delicious food. I love the steak tacos and seafood soup. We ordered fajitas for a company party and everyone was very happy we catered from here. I highly recommend it.

Great place for a quick lunch, good food, service and adequate parking. A lot of options in the menu, I did not try the chicken but the enchiladas were good.

I wish they had grilled my taco shells because they were a soggy mess once I got home. The steak taco definitely had a better flavor profile then the chicken. The chicken was shredded, which was unexpected and the steak had some nice size pieces. The meat was NOT lacking in either, which I appreciated.

Jacalito Grill is located at the end of a strip mall and doesn't look like much when you first walk in, but this food is packed with so much flavor! Prices are decent for the amount of food you receive and the service is quick. I loved my chicken enchiladas, there was so much meat and it was all nicely flavored. When I added the green salsa it took it up a couple spice levels, but it was still so so so good. I took a taste of my husbands fajitas and the beef was so tender and flavorful. We were expecting a longer wait for the papusas, but they came out with the rest of our food. I can't wait to go back and try something new!

Excellent steak & ribs combo! Prompt, friendly service. Wife said her fajitas were great too. And price was right. Clean and quiet. Glad I stopped in here.

Small, unassuming strip mall location hides some pretty darn good roast chicken (green sauce that comes with is among the best I've had) and quesadillas. They have a large menu with a lot of other items including breakfasts. Ordered take out from here many times and the same guy behind the counter (presumably the owner) is always polite and friendly --has even offered to help take large orders out to the car.

I grew up in NM and TX. These guys have legit food and they opened early for me when I was in the area for a sports event. Highly recommend.

Good food good portion fairly fast service. Not crowded. In a strip mall on Alban road

Ok so here's the thing, I come here VERY OFTENlike at least once a week and If I'm not calling ahead and picking it up I go through uber eats. I love their Yuca (on a good day) and plantanos fritas (never had a bad one yet). Sometimes my Yuca isnt cooked all the way through whixh sucks because when I get food it's for my BF because we eat lunch together on his break. Usually I just order a side of yuca $4 and I'm ok. Don't judge them soley on this experience just learn from what happened to me. I decided to get somemore yummy yuca 1/2 chicken dark etc etc...Well l, I order online through Clover and on my way there my car ends up running out of gas. I set the pick up for immediately so I called and let them know I placed an order online, I told the gentleman what I ordered and he knew which order I was refering to because he repeated the rest of my order to me. I then proceeded to let him know I'm so sorry, I'm on my way but it's going to be a while I'm on the side of the road I ran out of gas. If there's any way you can keep the food warm until we get there that would be great. I apologize again and he said ok we said goodbye. I finally get gas in my car and then my battery dies because i had the car turned off with the emergency lights running . My bf jumps my car and then I follow him to Jacolitos. We get to the counter and say hi Im picking up an order I placed on line. He says no, I don't think so like he's confused. Now I'm feeling weird because I just spoke with this man no more than 45 minutes ago. I show him my reciept and he tells me someone already picked up the order. ‍ I reminded him that I called and told him I would be coming to pick up my food and he says, yeah I know but someone already picked it up. Now at this point me and my bf are thinking what does this have to do with us. You gave someone the wrong order. I kid you not once ai show him the reciept on my phone he says yeah they ahowed me that too. I told him thats IMPOSSIBLE even if someone was trying to scam me thats my phone number and name but it had my bf card on file...so basically someone would have to have access to not ONLY a random person's phone number and full name but another random person's card number in HOPES they used that card to order (mind you there's no physical card for anyone to steal). So he flips his screen around and shows me the invoice- what does that proove...nothing except I paid for an order that was given away. So me and my bf sit and wait after being put to the side by a walk in customer. (Remember I come here very frquent spending anywhwre from $12 to 20 each time and the last time was for $26ish just the day before) We sit there and I think a customer heard what was happening and he asked if he could help. We let him know that we already paid for our order and he gave it away, thanks for being so sweet though. The customer gets his food and he still hasnt said anything. My bf gets up and asks so what would you like to do? He then acknowledges us and says we'll get it dont worry. It's ok to be wrong, you dont have to blame a FREQUENT and LOYAL customer because you made a mistake. While we are waiting another gentleman with his kids walks in, he just says he has an online order and the jacolitos man just hands him a bag, doesn't ask for a name, doesn't ask for a order number, doesn't ask what he ordered, doesn't ask for a reciept just hands it to him. HOLD UP PAUSE why are we being treated like we are trying to rip you off when your not even checking orders! Hmmmmm...and you wonder why we're in the situation we are in now. We get our food and it was so bad, which I was scared that it wouldnt be made right if he was mad. I ordered a 1/2 chicken dark meat meal with beans and rice, a side of yuca and plantanos fritas, pork and cheese pupusa. We recieved 1/2 dark 1/2 white, and the yuca was very white and hard in the middle ‍. After going through ALL of that, not only personally but with the restaurant I was hoping the order would AT LEAST BARE MINIMUM be right. This whole interaction sucks because I loved this place, it's super close to my bf job and I Really liked, key word liked, their yuca. Do yourself a favor and don't order online because you might have your order given away ‍. I could understand MAYBE if what we ordered was basic like 2 1/2 chicken meals but I ordered random things. Also ATT DOOR DASH, UBER EATS, GRUB HUB, ETC: CHECK YOUR BAG BEFORE YOU COME TO PICK UP A CUSTOMER'S ORDER. Also pass on the tacos I've had better tacos with flavor, plus the last time I ordered I asked for no tomatoes and there was tomatoes on my order. Another thing too on Clover it says with a 1/2 chicken you get 2 sides, over the phone they only give you the option of one side, on their website it says, beans, rice, and salad with your choice of yuca or fries and I ALWAYS have something or most missing and still pay the normal price. I'm done giving buisness my money for inconsistent orders.
