Jorge's Cantina Mexican Restaurant

Topeka, KansasWhat a lively place! This place has so much energy! Every table is filled at 6 PM on a Wednesday night.When they see you, they bring you a basket of chips that are delicious. And a bowl for salsa. They pour the salsa from a picture and continue to carry it around the restaurant and refill everybody's salsa bowl. The chips are delicious! The salsa is more of a liquidy purée but delicious, flavor nonetheless.There are tables in the middle with vinyl seats and high back wooden booths that have tables with pictures of Mexico printed on them. There were only three drafts available and I went with the Modelo. They brought it quickly and they serve water in large cups. There is one girl that walks around taking care of everybody's chips and salsa. The minute you run low, she replaces it. Never had to ask. Call me naïve, but the staff was all gathered around the bar doing a chant and dance. I thought they were excited about my beer, but they were only doing the Kansas City Chiefs dance.When I told them that I was not from Kansas, and I did not like the Chiefs, the waiter yelled out to the owner, and they all chanted boo in the restaurant. Once again, this is a very energetic, loud, lively place. But much fun. I ordered the chicken enchiladas with rice and my husband ordered the chicken chimichanga. Mine came with rice, which is very good. I have three enchiladas and I chose to have cheese sauce and they also put a little bit of green salsa on it. Comes with a guacamole salad. I am very pleased with this meal. The presentation is nice with some cheese sprinkled on top for a finish. I do think the chicken is a little on the tough side, but it has very good flavor. The chimichanga comes with rice pilaf, sour cream, guacamole, and refried beans. No complaints as the meal was delicious.I am blown away by the camaraderie of the staff. They all help each other out and go to all the tables, and everybody talks to everyone. Every waiter laughs and engages with each of the customers. I don't think I have ever seen this in a restaurant. This is a feel good dining experience.I just can't say enough about the staff. Each and everyone of them engages with the table. They all are positive and upbeat. The weight staff is even running to go get food to take care of the customers. This blows me away. I am so impressed. I rarely give out five stars. But this place deserves it. There's absolutely nothing negative about this restaurant. You must come and check it out.

Voted Best Mexican Restaurant in Topeka again! Jorge's will not disappoint. Best food Mexican food in town, fun & friendly staff, & great selection of food items sure to please everyone in your group.Always a fun atmosphere for the young & old& everyone in between. A place where you are always treated like family

Good food. Chips that came with the salsa were broken up. Would have liked to have whole chips. Two adults could share a fajita. Portions were good. Music was very loud. Service was prompt. I gave 3 stars as I compared this to many other Mexican restaurants considering it average. Food was hot and plentiful.

This is a big restaurant. We went on a Wednesday night, meeting our son for his birthday. The food and service were good but not great. We May have just ordered the wrong items, chimichangas and and enchiladas meal. We didn't try any margaritas so they may be really good. Give it a try for yourself

Want to eat here? You'd better show up early because there's not a lot of seating. Anyone who knows good Mexican food comes to this place. If you can't beat the crowd and you're willing to wait in line, you won't be disappointed. The food is fantastic. The drinks are just as good if not better than when Jorge was at Margarita's Jalisco. Jorge's Cantina is a local gem and if you haven't been, you're missing out.

Jorge's is a fairly New Mexican Restaurant, it is very small/quaint and does get busy. We came in around noon, we sat ourselves in a booth in the back. There were only a few open tables. A guy came by with chips and salsa fairly quickly. We sat for about 10 min before my mom asked if we could get waited on. The gal went to the back and asked who had our table(5). We nearly finished our chips and salsa before our server came out and asked if anyone took our drinks-which no one had. We placed our lunch order and food came out hot and fresh. I ordered The Enchiladas Rancheras(Cheese Enchiladas topped with pork, onion and bell pepper)My mom ordered the Pork Chilé Verde My dad ordered Chilé Colorado We all enjoyed our lunch.

I am sure this is a eating establishment that a lot of people like to go to. But out of the last three times I have had The Misfortune of eating here I have not had one meal that did not have its issues. The last time I was there I had carne asada tacos that could not be picked up because there was so much grease it ate through the tortillas. I was forced by the owner to pay full price for a meal I could not eat. And I got a 10-minute lecture on how different people have different tastes. In my opinion I hope this place closes and the alcoholic owner is forced to go to jail.

Randomly stopped into Jorge's on our way to Nebraska. Food was great, especially the street tacos. Service was amazing. 100% recommend!

The food was hot and tasted great. Friendly service. The ambiance was pretty unique. It has a good vibe and friendly atmosphere.

This place is an absolute must. The food alone is great but the staff that work there are super nice and Jorge is just the best restaurant owner I think I have ever come across. Super attentive and friendly with great food and drinks, what else can you ask for!
