We were greeted warmly at the door and seated at a table near the bar. We ordered margaritas. I must say I was underwhelmed. Clearly, premixed and contained too much syrup. The Honey was so confused and disappointed. We started with Chili Con Carne and Ceviche as appetizers. He enjoyed the chili but, we both prefer our ceviche prepared in lime/citrus juices. This one was prepared in a red sauce. Our entrees of Cazuela del Mar and Ensalada de Taco (Chicken) were fresh, flavorful and delicious! These meals saved the day. Flan for dessert was an excellent choice. We've decided this establishment is worth a return visit. We will try other dishes sans the drinks and apps that didn't tickle our fancies this time.

Now initially what caught my eye was the birria pizza. Figured before committing to that let's try tacos. One of the best things of all, you can customize your tacos! So got birria with fresh jalapeño. That added a beautiful fresh kick to them. Devoured before thought of taking a picture. Excellent tacos. Coconut shrimp tacos. Mango salsa and other variety of flavors. This is a total tango on the tongue. The flavors dance wildly and in synch. Something I wasn't expecting. A beautiful combination. Plantains.... See how amazing they look in the picture? (That's after half of them were eaten). Well they taste even better. The sides of sauce you get are each their very own beautiful flavor profile and an experience. Highly recommended. Excellent first experience. Coming back for that birria pizza!

The tortilla soup is smoky and delicious with an almost velvety texture and I love the addition of chicharon, just wish there was chicken and more avocado.

I used to love…read morethis place and considered it one of the best Mexican spots in the area for a quick, satisfying meal. The place isn't fancy or elegant but the food always hit! This time, though, things just weren't the same. I ordered sopes and ended up getting crunchy tostadas instead, and the overall flavor was noticeably different from what I remembered. Even the salsa lacked the spice it used to have. The micheladas were different as well, with what tasted like Miguelito seasoning rather than the flavor they used to have. I'm not sure if they changed cooks, ingredients, or preparation methods, but the difference was noticeable across multiple items. It's disappointing when a place you genuinely enjoy no longer delivers the same experience. I hope this was just an off visit because this used to be a go to spot for me.

This restaurant is tremendous! Staff is very friendly and welcoming, food is authentic and tasty,…read moreand the prices... they just can't be beaten. In terms of negatives... the decor isn't what you might expect when it comes to a dining experience. The style is very much like its food -- authentic... in that it reminds me of an average eatery at home. Then again, what reminds me of home won't be in the image of what passes for the average evening event when it comes to going out to eat in the states. You can certainly seat down and chow, don't get me wrong, but I wouldn't be thinking, "Gosh, let me take my girl out here for a romantic evening at Los Jarritos." Rather, I usually grab and go, and based on what I've noticed when I've gone there to eat, a lot of folks do that too. I would imagine that this was the intended effect; its a bit of dive in this respect, though with tastes that will melt in your mouth. Give them a try; I don't think you'll regret it and you certainly won't find many places that will offer what they provide for the value.

How many times I would say let's check it out. To be honest looking from the outside in it is not enticing. Lights are a little to bright. Anyway , today I was cleaning my home to Spanish music. Use your imagination! Lol Totally feelings it, ok my sexy man says lets check it out. And so we did. We were warmly greeted by staff. Our server Mario was so humble, helpful and patient. We started with extra crispy wings! Oh yeah. Awesome! The $4 house salad was fresh and crispy. Great price but that can change in a minute due to inflation. Joe was very pleased with his chicken and steak Fijatas topped with white cheese. I enjoyed 3 Chicken Street Tacos with green sauce ( ask for it). Oh and I'll mention my Mango Margarita was awesome. Everything is 100% authentic Portuguese! I am 50% German and 50% English. Joe is Italian. Favorite food is Columbian/ Mexican and Spanish. Go figure! Lol So, thank you Mario.

The ambient lighting and pleasing decor sets the mood to enjoy your choice of cocktails. We asked the bartender if she could make the cucumber margarita on the menu spicy? She obliged. Those drinks weren't as spicy or refreshing as we had hoped. We stuck with the classic margaritas for next round. They were just right! I'm not sure if themed weekends are a regular occurrence here. But this night was the final night of their Mango Madness Weekend. We were served plain nachos with a mango salsa dip. The Honey devoured it. I prefer my salsa with a red sauce and a bit of a spicy kick. I decided to give the steam mussels in a sauce with mango pieces, a try. I did not know this was the combination of spicy and sweet that I needed in my life!! We ordered extra bread and sopped up every last bit of it!! We made a point to tell the bartender how much we enjoyed it! We were grateful and disappointed, when she told us we had just eaten the last of it. Dang! We would have certainly asked for another order!! We left there giddy and satisfied. I wasn't even mad that I had to go back to work the next day! I keep thinking, how can we convince them to make the Mango Mussels a permanent menu item? Meet us there and let's discuss it over margaritas! Thank me later.....

He forgot our guacamole, which should've remained forgotten, since it was underseasoned and unremarkable. I was a bit shocked when we got the bill. The MP was $15, for the small, bland portion.

My chipotle shrimp entrée didn't look like anything special, but tasted much better than it looked. My companions softshell crab taco special was good.
