I had to try the stuffed avocado. It was filled with your choice of chicken or beef fajita meat. I was given the option so tried both. Full service bar. It is my understanding they are also open for breakfast which we will have to try on another visit. No room for dessert but they looked excellent. Plenty of seating inside and had outside patio seating for good weather. Enjoyable experience without the loud over powering noise typically experienced on weekends.

As a Latino who grew up eating Mexican food daily, I don't hand out praise easily. I'm a foodie with high standards, and I give honest reviews with no fluff. That said, El Jarrito is one of the best spots we've tried so far in Magnolia and even compared to places we've had in Houston. I'm giving it a solid 4 out of 5. I ordered the chile relleno plate. Normally it comes with either cheese or ground beef, rice, and refried beans, but I customized it to one cheese and one ground beef with charro beans instead. They gave me zero pushback, which I appreciated. The cheese relleno was better than the ground beef one in my opinion, but both were good. The rice was actually better than most places around here. The charro beans had good flavor, about a 3 out of 5 for me, but could have used more meat. We also ordered hard shell ground beef tacos. They do not offer shredded meat, which would have been nice. Flavor was good and my wife enjoyed them, but they use pre made taco shells. If they homemade fried those shells, that would have taken it to another level. Our friend had the combo, cheese enchilada and taco, and she loved it. The enchilada was solid. Now let's talk about the salsa. The house salsa with the chips was fire. Fresh and warm, which is different in a good way. My wife had never had warm salsa before and really liked it. The guacamole was fresh. We asked them to keep it basic because we have a toddler and did not want it spicy. They nailed it. We added our own lime and salt and it was perfect. We ordered three micheladas. The cups were on the smaller side, but the mix was good and the mugs were ice cold. No complaints there. Service was quick, attentive, and friendly. The place was clean and we were taken care of right away. Overall, based on flavor, service, willingness to accommodate, and feedback from everyone at the table, it is a 4 out of 5. We will definitely be back and are looking forward to exploring more of Magnolia, but for this neck of the woods, this spot holds its own.

It is the little things that set this place apart. I came here mainly because of the split among…read moremy fellow yelp elites, with some seeing this as a 5 star exceptional and others as a 3 star average. I am happy to report they are both wrong. It is far better than a 3, newer, cleaner, better service, more authentic and better decorated. They probaby ordered something boring like a taco and got a taco, this unimpressed. We ordered from the dinner menu and the steak Mexicana, the fajitas and Chicken quesadillas were all excellent. Well prepared. Excellent Cuts of meat. The dessert sopapillas were were equally delightful. The salsa served hot was excellent. The Mexican colored chips. Green, white, and red were a very nice touch. Fresh. We ate a lot of them. Great selection of beers, good cocktails. This is the best Mexican restaurant in Magnolia, Texas at this point. Downside is it is tucked into the back of a strip mall. There's only so much they can do with the modular space. They distressed the furniture to make it look older. But that's obviously fake. Almost five stars. I might even give it five stars. Because it's maybe even a touch better than a four.

The waitstaff was super friendly and handled special requests.

Three years living out here, and I finally dropped by El Chaparro Mexican Bar & Grill. What a treat…read more-- the service and food were fantastic! We started with chips and homemade salsa. I've had my share of salsas over the years, but El Chaparro's has a real competitive edge. Bravo, El Chaparro! Next up, the stuffed Jumbo Shrimp & Cheese Jalapeños with chipotle ranch and Pico de Gallo on the side. The smokiness in the ranch was just right, and the shrimp -- wow! It wasn't smothered in cheese like so many places do it, and I ended up making a whole meal out of this "small bite." I took my entrée to go: fajitas with sautéed vegetables, your choice of beef, chicken, or combo (I went with combo). They come with sautéed broccoli, zucchini, mushrooms, and carrots, plus pico de gallo and guacamole. All the fajita platters include charro beans, black beans, or refried beans, rice, and homemade flour tortillas. Another hidden gem in Tomball -- don't miss out! Looks like they have a great happy hour too, and I spotted some gorgeous margaritas on my way out. Worth the trip to come try it yourself. The staff was wonderful -- attentive without being overbearing. Juan was my server (bartender? manager? not entirely sure, but he's clearly the man to know here!).
