Quaint authentic feeling interior-they have an authentic menu, but sadly no lunch specials- aside from that the food was very fresh and authentic. Service was good. The veggie casadilla had a ton of vegetables and the gorditas were good although quite greasy. read more

I've lived in brush for about 3 years now and I love this place & also the one in fort morgan; but I recently had a great opportunity to meet the owner and guys.... I have never met a more genuine person who truly cares for her customers, employees & anyone she meets. Good owners, good food, fair $ whatcha got to lose?..go eat at El jacal or The Rooster. Ps try the Mexican hot chocolate... and if your disappointed then there's something wrong with you...delicious and fairly priced. read more

Service was slow, on a slow Sunday night. But I was mostly disappointed on the fried ice cream. It was a melting pile of strawberry.... Not vanilla! Ice cream with literally just corn flakes. If you told me it was fried ice cream, I'd say you were lying. read more

I like the tacos and fajitas here. I haven't tried anything else yet but I assume the rest is amazing. The server usually checks on you around 3 times. Once at the beginning, middle, and end. The music is loud but I love it. read more

We are from out of town, Southern Calif. Where I feel we have some of the best Mexican food. We have eaten in their other restaurant in Fort Mogan a few years ago. When we saw that they had opened one in Brush, we had to stop in and eat lunch there. The food was fantastic and even with the Covic 19 restrictions, the service was great. We had our Grandsons and kids with us, and they treated us wonderful. We all had different entries and everyone was satisfied. If you want good Mexican food, you need to try this place. Thank you for a great dining experience. read more

Absolutely TERRIBLE service!! Waiter/Bar tender left the restaurant to do whatever he felt he needed to do. Took FOREVER him to take our order and drinks. Rude when asking for check. Absolutely terrible service Cute place though. Food was good. read more

The food is good and the service is just okay. I prefer the location in Brush, because the food and service is way better.

This branch did not deliver. Waitstaff who could not make a recommendation because they have not tasted the food?!! Lackluster food served on awkward hot stone mini pedestals. Meager portions. Hefty price tag. I assumed that Mexican was a safe bet everytime... until now. Moving on. read more

Watch out! You'll get charged for things that appear to be included with your meal, based on the menu. Smothering, tortilla shells, etc. Food wasn't that great either. read more

El Jacal is one of my favorite restaurants in Brush. Consistently good Mexican food. Love the Chimichanga. One beef: We left the Bull Bucking Challenge Saturday night early because their website said they were open until 10. That was bullshit. We arrived at 9:35 and the "open" light was off and we were told they were closed. I don't mind if a restaurant closes at 9, but don't claim your open until 10 when you aren't. read more

Cute little place in the middle of nowhere. Food was fantastic, and the girl running the place was doing everything by herself and doing phenomenal! Service was excellent as was the salsa and food. Will definitely be back again if passing through this area again read more

Authentic and delicious Mexican food. Me and my family stop by during our road trip and we all got so satisfied with our order , everything was delicious, tortas, burritos , tacos , tostadas , the molcajete and the gorditas OMG so delicious. We absolutely recommend this place read more

The food was not cooked enough and raw, The staff was unprofessional, and other Mexican restaurants is a lot better then this one

i very much enjoyed thank you. very good food that came out quick. good service and very nice staff. ambiance good.

Food is delicious but the hostess seemed to be annoyed and we were the only customers in the restaurant because it was just before lunch time. Not agreeting, not a single smile, she wasn't rude either but she didn't have a welcoming attitude. read more

We took my Daughter from NM to grill yesterday as she loves Mexican food and we three experienced by far the worst Mexican food we have ever had. We will be surprised if it will remain still open for very long. We left more than 3/4 on plate. Don't have appetite for garbage! read more

We called to place an order and they told us it would be 30 min. And hour and a half later they said our order was ready, come to find out they only put 2 out of the 8 tacos in the container. And we were missing 2 orders of beans and rice. They were very rude and were saying very unprofessional things in Spanish. Low and behold this customer speaks Spanish. I never raised my voice or said anything, just waited at the counter for 90 min for a wrong order. read more

Hidden gem! Service was excellent, food was hot, fresh, and tasty. It's funny reading other reviews and then finding my self saying the exact same thing - this is some best Mexican food I have ever had. Prices were outstanding as well - 2 Apps, 2 large plates of enchiladas, 1 soda : $22. read more

Pretty good mexican joint. Decent food, clean facilities and friendly staff. It is a bit hard to find because it has no sign on the outside displaying the name though. I'd eat there a second time if I'm in Brush again. I suggest it for a quick lunch if you like mexican food. read more

If I could do a negative -5 I would. Honestly I don't know about this 4 star place. The food is horrible and the service is the worst. They give you stuff you don't order thinking you don't know. Don't recommend it listen to the negative reviews. read more

After hearing all of the good reviews we decided to try El Jacal. The wait for our meals was long (the family next to us left after not being served for an hour and a half) Food was average, lots of flies buzzing around, and staff was running around unorganized. Save your money and go down the road to Home Plate. Much better selection, staff, and prices. read more

I came into this restaurant coming from so many great Mexican restaurants in town, I've never been so disappointed in the service and the food. My enchiladas were bland to say the least and the place seemed dirty and unkept. I would avoid this place if you want decent Mexican food. read more

We had carnitas and asada tacos, and the Mexican Molcajete. It has all soooo good! Service was good too. Hoping they get a liquor license soon! We'd be so happy if we could go there for tacos and margaritas. (The Fort Morgan location has a bar, but this one is closer to home, and the service was a little better) read more

The best Mexican Food I have ever eaten. AND I luv Mexican food. The margarita was great also. Service was a 5 Star also even though it was mid-afternoon. My hat is off to you for a fabulous meal. Thank you!! read more

Brush, CO location: This place was disappointing to say the least. I came here for breakfast with my family and they messed up half of our orders. My mom and aunt ordered whole wheat toast and they both received white toast instead. My mom ordered bacon and she received ham. My dad ordered biscuits (included as a choice of sides in his breakfast) and they brought him white toast. When he told the server "Oh I ordered biscuits not toast" she brought out a full order of biscuits and charged him for it even though it was supposed to be included with his breakfast. My aunt said that bacon tasted like old grease. My dad's biscuits were hard and almost chewy. At the end they brought out our bill and I told the server that the biscuits were supposed to be included in my dad's meal not an extra order so she said that she'd talk to the manager. A lady by the name of Flora (or Floreta) came out with another bill which had the biscuits removed but with a miscellaneous charge for the same damn amount!!! I asked Flora "What's this miscellaneous charge for?" and she said "It's for the biscuits he ordered after we already gave him the toast." Then I said "That was your servers fault, not ours". I proceeded to complain about the rest of their mistakes in which Flora smirked and responded "Sorry" and walked off. What a sh*t hole. I'm glad that I clogged their shitty toilet!!!! I hear that Flora's a cleaning lady on the side, maybe she's better at cleaning toilets than serving people breakfast. read more

Good service! Food was good and ample portions! Was disappointed no liquor license so no margaritas

As a former Brush resident now living on the east coast, I miss good Mexican food terribly. This place completely satisfies my craving for Mexican - one of the best places I've visited in the ten years I've been away. The enchiladas are amazing and the service is always great! A+ read more

After a weekend in Denver, we stopped at El Jacal Mexican Grill for a late lunch. We have eaten at this location when the restaurant was called Acapulco Bay. We were impressed with the value of the Tuesday Special of 4 Tacos with a modest charge for rice and beans. Meals for two cost less than $20. Complementary chips and two different salsas kept us satisfied til our meal came. The restaurant had more than several tables filled and a couple of To Go orders were filled while we were eating. The restaurant smelled pleasant as meat for the evening meals were being cooked. A paper to go menu was available for frequent diners and call in orders. read more

I was visiting from Denver, stopped in for carne Assad tacos. Very authentic, very good. I will be back!

Driving back from Sterling to Denver stopped for a quick lunch! Food was great I have been to the other location in Ft Morgan and this one is just as good. I recommend the Gorditas they have several to choose from I had the asada and the chicharone gorditas. MMMMMMM!!! read more
