Food here is always delicious and the margaritas are top tier. I got the burrito Jalisco last night and it was very good. Let's get to the service. Our waitress was very sub par unfortunately. This is not the first time I have experienced this here, which led me to leave the review. No refill on chips? Maybe that's normal for them not sure? But we had a table of like 12. Very limited on drink refills, but at least she asked that. When we told her we had two more still coming (eye roll). She still got tipped well from everyone, but I can think of a lot of other Mexican restaurants in town where everyone is very friendly. The atmosphere was clean well kept etc there's a lot of space. I was wondering about the random Santa Claus picture still hanging up though. read more

Always amazing service and good! Great atmosphere and the drinks are really top notch. A little on the pricey side but worth it! read more

I don't know that this is authentic Mexican food but it is delicious. I have tried the Guac, enchiladas and a couple of burritos. All tasty and reasonably priced. The dining room can get a little loud on weekends. read more

Came back on a different day for another great experience, but unfortunately the service was beyond horrible this time around. From the start, the server acted like she was doing us a favor just by talking to us. Every interaction felt rushed and uncomfortable, and somehow each time she came back to the table, she seemed even more upset than before. The food itself was still solid, which makes the service even more frustrating. Cleanliness was fine and the place still looked well kept, but none of that makes up for being made to feel unwelcome. It's disappointing because the food has real potential, but bad service can completely ruin the experience. Until that's addressed, it's hard to want to come back again. read more

We have searched for a good Mexican restaurant for years. This restaurant has such good food. The tableside guacamole is so fresh and good. We have had the carnitas, chicken and spinach enchilada, burrito, birra tacos. All excellent and flavorful! Highly recommend this restaurant read more

The guac was top tear; The meals were delightful; probably the second 2nd best thing that I've ever tasted next to boba; my family and I enjoyed the meal. The waitress was very fun and kind. The only thing off is how I never knew how good food can be. The burrito I ordered was a little salty, but remarkably delicious . read more

All the food is so good! We got to-go twice and it is our go to! The Fajita Burrito is AMAZING and it's pretty big! You can do just one protein or a mix, and it comes with queso on top . All meals come with chips and salsa. read more

This is now one of my favortite mexican american spots. They're one of the few places that have chile rellenos. Whatever kinks they originally had have definitely been worked out. Service is great, the food is always hot, as ordered, and doesn't take long. There's a ton of hispanic food in the area but when i want just the old school mexican american this is the place. Oh, get the carnitas, it's good here. read more

We weren't planning to stop in before our movie at Alamo Drafthouse, but a margarita sounded good...and Altos de Jalisco did not disappoint! Seating was immediate, and the large, clean dining area has tables spaced apart nicely, so you can have privacy and easily hear your dining companion. Our friendly, attentive server recommended the Altos Fresh Margarita, and fresh it was! Hands down the freshest margarita I've ever had. After snacking on their unlimited, not-too-salty chips and salsa, our tacos arrived. Three tacos per plate, topped with the traditional cilantro and onion, served with Mexican rice and refried beans. I love how generous they are with the cilantro, and the corn tortillas had the right texture (read: not too thick but didn't fall apart the minute we picked them up). Strongly recommend the al pastor, and (always) ask for extra lime. Boyfriend and I agreed - we found our new taco spot and will be back for another round of Altos Fresh Margaritas! Tip: Get the super fresh guac and request limes to squeeze on top. read more

Dined in on a Monday night and boy was it packed! Nonetheless service was incredible. They always start you off with chips and salsa which is always good because the chips are nice and fresh and the salsa is so good. Decided to have chicken fajitas and it was good. The rice and beans were seasoned and delicious not to mention the chicken and all the vegetables! The tortilla was made in house and it was fresh and hot. Of course I had to try their passion fruit mojito which was so refreshing! I have 3 favorite Mexican restaurants in Winchester and this place is in that top 3 list! read more

This restaurant was wonderful! Food and service and atmosphere. We will definitely be back. Manager Sal was so kind.

This location has a large seating area and a large bar that would be great for events with family or friends. On a Saturday night, my family of 6 was seated within minutes and they are well staffed which made the experience all the better. The Beria taco meat was a bit tough and the tortilla fell apart as soon as it was folded, but that was the only downside to the meal. Everything else was great and the portion sizes are great. read more

The restaurant is located in a busy shopping area just off of I-81. We went there for an early dinner after a movie at the Alamo Draft House Theatre. The menu has all of the regular Mexican dishes and has quite a variety of choices. We started off with their chips and an order of quacamole. The quacamole was fresh and flavorful, as were the warm chips with a good salsa. My sweetheart had the steak quesadillas that she enjoyed. I had the steak fajitas with all of the fixings. I was really surprised by the amount of steak and vegetables that were served and thought that it may have been fajitas for two. Aside from the meat being slightly overdone, my meal was good. I would recommend this place for a fast mexican food fix, but in all honesty, it is just another nondescript Mexican place. We still continue the search for a good Mexican restaurant in our Winchester/Front Royal area. read more

SO BOMB! My absolute favorite spot to go. Hands down the best and most authentic Mexican food I've had. And I've been to a lot of places! Everyone is always super helpful and kind. We get seated right away. The place is large enough for lots of people but you never feel crowded. Very cute and cozy. Great for family or a date night! Nice big bar. Highly recommend. The flavor on the food... superior! read more

Stayed in nearby hotel on recent trip. High rating from Yelp users (and restaurant was within walking distance) made us decide on Mexican and we were not disappointed. We live in an area NJ with many good Mexican restaurants but Altos De Jalisco is the probably the best we have ever visited. Food was delicious, service was professional yet friendly and informative and the atmosphere was very pleasing. read more

I have one complaint about this restaurant which was the waiter was very frazzled and kind of mean at the beginning because we did not know what we wanted to eat (mind you we had never been there until this visit), his attitude eventually changed and he was funny and pleasant. My daughter and I came here for dinner on a Sunday. The place was packed almost all the seats were taken which is a good thing. When we sat down we noticed the Christmas tree was prominently displayed and the current NFL game was playing. The restaurant was loud but not too loud but loud enough to know it was busy. The chips came out hot and the salsa was flavorful and very good, not too spicy not too bland but just delicious. The chorizo dip we ordered was delicious warm and creamy and a perfect consistency. Both of our food was great it came out semi quickly but in enough time that since this was a busy day we weren't waiting outrageously long. The restaurant was clean, food was hot, full of flavor and worth the drive out here from my home. We are definitely repeat visitors !! read more

Thanks for ruining dinner!! Took about 25 minutes to get a table, no problem. I get it, it's Valentine's Day. We sat down, ordered our food, a very long time later we get our food except my husband order is completely wrong. Not what he ordered at all. The runner looked at us like we were stupid when we told him but still no big deal. Mistakes happen. But then we waited for almost an hour, my daughter finished her food, my food was cold at this point and my husband still has not gotten his food. In the span of almost an hour the waitress came by ONE time to say the food was coming. It never came. We asked to cancel the order and get the check and she didn't seem to care at all. No customer service whatsoever. The manager came over and we told him what happened and he didn't care either. His excuse was "well we're busy". So needless to say if you want mediocre Mexican food go somewhere else. Somewhere with some customer service. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone and we won't be going back. P.S. Last time we tried this restaurant there was a drug overdose on the patio soooo is this really the place you want to bring your family?? read more

Always delicious food! Clean and friendly atmosphere! Love the food, house hot sauce. Can never go wrong eating here. Never disappoints.

Overnight stop in Winchester -- the check-in clerk at our hotel recommended this restaurant. The servings were generous and tasty, actually more than we usually eat, but we were provided with containers to take away uneaten portions. Their house chardonnay was good, as well as the service. I'd return. read more

If you are wondering if this is worth the turn into the parking lot... YES, it is. If you enjoy a fun food adventure. This unassuming Mexican grill on the end of the strip mall is well manicured with a welcoming atmosphere. I sat at the bar, whose stools were roomy and comfortable, and was greeted promptly. The mezcal margarita was a fun smoky expression of the drink. The chorizo queso was good- maybe a bit small (though is there ever enough?). I had the Carnitas Michoacán that was an ample and well executed dish of roasted pork with onions. Fork tender, well seasoned with a side of hot sauce. See pic. The hot sauce was also a highlight. Hot but with flavor that complimented the pork. Los Altos de Jalisco is friendly with authenticity serving food that is levels-up from the chain style Mexican restaurants. 9/10 highly recommended! read more

Amazing service and great quality food 100 percent of the time! We always enjoy! Never dissatisfied.

We have eaten here on our trips to HH numerous times. The portions are large and service is very efficient. The tortilla soup is a meal all by itself. The fajitas was a huge portion too but the 3 leches cake was very disappointing- Hershey syrup on it ( or a fake chocolate syrup on top) and it was dry and tasteless- we left it after 2 bites- ugh. Hence my reason for one star less. read more

Service was excellent. Flawless even. Food was excellent. I had the Mole Negro; which I have ordered at at least a dozen places throughout the years. This was the best ever, except a cafe in Puebla, Mexico. Great food, great service. Even the music was appropriate, (It's amazing the number of Mex places that play top ten- yuck) What could be improved? Better decor. Most of the "art" on the walls was not Mexican-inspired; and it certainly lacked a festive feel. However, the place was doing a fair business on a Friday night, so perhaps my criticism is unwarranted. Still, a few festive flags, a bull fighter, or a srteet scene would be appreciated read more

TERRIBLE. We ordered two orders of the steak tacos with a side of sour cream and that was 1.25 each extra. We also ordered a side of small guacamole. The guacamole was literally the same size as the sour cream and the sour cream was filled to the top meanwhile the guacamole was only filled halfway. AND THEY MADE US PAY $5 FOR A HALFWAY FILLED CONTAINER. This place actually sucks and do not order from here. ITS BULL. read more

The servers were great. The food was dry.. I got some tacos. Wifey got the quesa-birria and those were not it at all. Made with plastic tortillas and the birria was way too salty.The "consomé" which is supposed to have a couple ingredients was just tasteless grease. I tried drinking it like the Mexican I am and let me tell you I never ever spit into napkins but this was an exception.. I'm sorry but no bueno.. I tried talking to the manager to see if he could make it right and he basically gave me a cooking lesson and told me that's the real way of making the consomé. Like nah bro gtfo of my face.. I'm never going back to this place again. I'll stick to El habanero on Millwood and delicias Mexicanas on fort collier rd which in my opinion are the best Mexican places in the area. read more

Ate here with my husband. We sat at the bar and had 2 very well mixed mojitos. We're vegetarian, and I know this is not a vegetarian place, but there was not one option on the menu for a vegetarian. I asked to get tacos with no meat, but beans and cheese instead. I got two dry tacos with nothing but little lettuce. No salsa, no sour cream, no onion. And the server misunderstood and gave me a side of rice and beans. Which was tasteless and mushy. I paid about $20 for the meal. I should have ordered a meat taco with no meat, that way I would have paid far less and got all the trimmings. It would be nice in 2024 to have an option for no meat, it's not difficult with Mexican food. I'd go back for the dinks, but I feel like I got screwed on the food and price. My husband got seafood tacos, and he paid less and got more food than I. read more

Stopped for lunch on the road back home. As soon as we sat down a server appeared with warm chips and salsa. We had the lunch steak fajitas and shrimp fajitas. Both dishes served hot in the skillet. Sides were Spanish rice and refried beans with the guacamole and lettuce on the side. Very tasty. The waitress was great. read more

First visit and maybe there are some kinks to work out. The interior is beautiful. We love the new brickwork. My husband had the Burrito Grande with Chicken and a side of Black Beans. He enjoyed the burrito, the black beans were seasoned well but needed more cook time. I had 2 Potato Enchiladas and 2 Bean Enchiladas. I felt they needed some oven time. Tasted as though the filling was tossed into the tortillas and sauce spread and served. Rice was good portion, pretty standard taste. I asked for a side salad with lettuce and Pico like some other places serve but I guess they don't offer that because I didn't get it. The star of the dinner and reason for the third star was the Guacamole and Salsa. Delicious! We were surprised that our server didn't offer us chips and salsa when we sat down but we saw another server greeting guests at the door with chips and bowls of salsa so perhaps it was a big oversight. We had to order salsa with our chips and Guac. Our chips were sporadically over fried but taste was ok. My husband was disappointed there is no spicy salsa. When we asked, the server said they only have bottled hot sauce. Also, most all the other Mexican restaurants offer Chile Toreados, even off menu, but not here. Overall not a 'can't wait to go back experience' like we were expecting. I've seen other great reviews so hopefully they get their consistency worked out. It's going to have to be way better than this to corner the market here. read more

What an awesome way to begin our Saturday out! It has been SO long since I've been in an establishment that was as clean and well run as Altos De Jalisco. We were greeted immediately, and sat just as fast. The waiter was to our table within a minute. We placed our drink and appetizer order, and we had all of that in under 5 minutes. The cheese dip was delicious. Not heavy like some places. The chips and salsa were dropped off as well. I ordered the chicken fajitas, and it could not have been done any better than it was. It was all cooked, beautifully and tasted just how you would expect. To recap: The staff is quick and efficient. The food is phenomenal! The decor is tasteful and beautiful. The cleanliness appealed to me the most, though. No excuse to ever dine in a filthy establishment, and here, I didn't have to give my silverware or plates a second thought. REFRESHING! We will definitely be back! read more

Up until this evening this restaurant was a solid 4.5 stars for us. Food is consistent for the few times we have went and doesn't take forever. This evening we ordered a typical meal for us as carry out. They were busy like most everyone is on a Saturday night. Food was ready in a timely fashion. We get home to discover we are missing some of the order, which though disappointing I am ok with as we always get good size portions. What really let us down was the small cheese sauce we ordered. It is $6 for a small which is a bit on the pricey side considering what it is, but we do like it. The container it was provided in is barely bigger than the salsa container they provide free. Honestly I have had samples served to me in this size container at the warehouse stores. Charge $2 and I am ok with it. Charging $6 is absolutely absurd and a sure fire way to ensure we won't order it again. If it was specially made as part of the meal I could start to understand, but considering they keep a large pot of it warming all day and evening and they literally spoon it out as ordered...at that price it is by far their highest profit margin. read more
