    Taco Street Tacos Platter
    Amber M.

    We LOVE Jalisco. The salsa is delicious, the table side guac was also *chefs kiss*. My entire family loves the food here and the service is always quick. We love when the live dj is there gives us a good time while we enjoy our food. If you're ever in the area and looking for a good Mexican restaurant this is your spot. We got the 10 Tacos this time around and that was the BEST idea for my family of 4

    A- Authentic, B - big portions, C- complimentary chips and salsas, D - deliciosa comida, E - excellent service, excellent price point, F - feast on the pineapple fajitas! This is an amazing entree, you must try it! If this much alphabet doesn't have your mouth watering, you are hopeless. Great food.

    Walked in on a Friday night with no wait. We sat down and our server was really nice. The menu is full of different options to choose from and prices were reasonable. The only reason why I gave it a 4 star was because we waited awhile for drinks and our food came out before that even touched the table. It was clean decor was nice music wasn't too loud they do make you feel like really special on your birthday with a little sparkler and singing. Food tasted great I got a tamale and the 3 amigos. Portion size was good enough for Togo or just with 1 sitting. Birria tacos were good and the ceviche tostada was tasty.

    Birria ramen and tacos !!!! Delicious! They were full of flavor, the ramen was top tier !!

    Nachos a la Mexicana

    If you want to go out for a good time with excellent customer service, El Jalisco may be a great spot for you. We visited on a Wednesday evening around seven, we were immediately seated (as there was only a handful of patrons) and once we ordered, our food came out within 10 minutes. They have a great menu to choose from housing the more modern authentic Mexican food. The reason for three stars and why we would not patronize again is my food lacked in flavor. The shrimp on the nachos appeared to be seared with no seasoning, and same for the chicken. The dish was also extremely heavy on the cheese, I was able to eat a little less than half before tapping out. The chicken street tacos were good, the chicken a bit dry but overall exactly what you expect.

    This is their nachos appetizer. Really good but the last time we got nachos didn't have the toppings. The restaurant is inconsistent

    We've been here multiple times but we will no longer be returning. The food is mediocre. The birria was really good before but the last couple of times we returned, they changed the birria recipe for the worst. The nacho appetizer wasn't as good as the last time we came. It's a hit or miss here. I'll keep going to Hacienda instead

    Landed here on a Friday after 10 PM because it's open and it's actually really good. It reminds you…read moreof a sports bar with big screens, a DJ was spinning and there's a cop at the door checking women's purses & frisking men. Immediately upon entering there's a variety of booths, tables and bar seating. We opted for a table on the opposite side of the DJ so we could hear each other talk. Service was from Mimi who was very helpful in recommending the sides for our entree. We ended up ordering the jerk wings (appetizer), turkey wings with collards, dressing and candied yams. I ate the wings as my entree and we shared the sides. The presentation was great. Real plates & flatware. The sides came in their own bowls so the food doesn't touch. We were so hungry I didn't snap a picture but just imagine it! Or go try it for yourself when you're in the area. 5 Stars! Free parking No cover Full Bar Diverse Menu Delicious Food Great Service Cozy Atmosphere

    Sometimes, a lady just wants a cocktail…read more Summary: Good spot. Would visit again. In this economy, you're going to spend more than you'd like. The strip mall entrance and parking a bit of a challenge. Full review below: I went in Saturday afternoon. It was lightly busy but fully staffed so help/attention came quick. Dining solo so I opted for a seat at the bar. Bartender was super attentive. Didn't have to wait long for a menu or to place my order. Also, she regularly checked in on how everything was. I ordered the Yellow Diamond Martini ($15) and it was delicious. I got the fried green tomatoes (4 pieces) for $11.95. Complimentary very tall cup of water. The tomatoes were a little small so this is definitely an appetizer/light snack...which is A-OK for me. It came out shortly after my martini was ready. Overall, minus tip, it came to $29. Music was playing through a speaker but not too loud. People could comfortably have a conversation. There are multiple tvs throughout. I appreciated that some of them were showing stuff other than sports. One monitor, near the restroom, is devoted to Culturistic Kitchen content, which is smart. I did use the restroom. It's two stalls and two sinks. The non-handicap/ADA stall is tiny. I'm like a medium-sized woman who is 5'7 and even I was like yikes. When the place is busy/packed I could see a wait or a line for the bathroom. The one major downside...which is not Culturistic Kitchen's fault is that the strip mall is not easy to get out of and onto the main road (Jodeco Rd) especially if you're turning left. The parking lots for all the shops, which are great businesses, should be bigger than it is. Don't be surprised if, during peak times, you may have to park 1-2 doors down from the restaurant. Overall, I would go again. I don't go out to eat that often (there's food at the house ) but if I want a good cocktail and a light snack or try some of their regular food items, I would come again. More than likely, I'd choose an off-peak time because I wouldn't want to experience it at near full capacity but that's just me.

    I went to Swigzz Restaurant And Lounge on a Saturday evening to celebrate my line sister's birthday…read morea few months back with a party of six. There was plenty of free parking available and no cover fee. I was the last one to arrive at the table (only about 5 minutes late). When I sat down, there was already a drink tower on the table along with cups and water. Our server was quick to put in drink and food orders, but not as attentive. I ordered a sprite and she brought a can that was dented without noticing, so it had to be exchanged to avoid an explosion upon opening it. The food was just okay. I liked their cheese sticks, but the house salad with salmon was lacking flavor. No one at the table seemed to love their food. A few ordered pasta, wings and differing apps. Overall, we enjoyed the music selection that the djay played and the vibes were good. They required a large deposit for reservations, but it seemed like there were plenty of empty seats available and ease to walk in and sit either at the bar or at a table without one. I am not sure if I'd return any time soon, but it was not a bad experience.

    Our time at 15th street pizza was great…read more You can sit either inside or outside and more than enough parking spots. If you love beer, then you will experience a very long list of various beers and I like that's it's broken down by variety and flavor. The pizza was good but if you prefer NY Style pizza you might not like how thick the crust is. Overall the pizza was good and fairly priced. This was our first time here so I'm not sure if it was normal but even though it wasn't really busy, service was slow. Our waitress was really friendly but she was working both inside and outside so we did have to wait around a while for our check. It didn't bother me too much since I had already ordered another beer that I had to finish but I could tell my wife and kids were ready to go. Overall it's a nice spot and it's cool to see Henry county getting more dining options.

    Not too shabby of a meal...kitchen was a little slow but the server was super nice. Food came out…read morehot and the veggies were fresh. Which goes along way for the part of town it's in. Burger patty appeared to be a frozen variety that they smash flat. She liked it...but she's also not the best gauge of quality food. The calzone was good, ricotta was actually inside, the basil was fresh and leafy, pepperoni was standard and the onions were purple and the crust was crispy...I enjoyed it but nothing was mind blowing or new path paving. My kid liked her cheesy bread with a side of cheese sauce...what else is there in life that's better than carbs and cheese. I will say that the crust was still pretty soft and crispy even the next day and reheating in the oven...that wasn't something I was expecting.

    Excellent Experience at The Juicy Crab…read more I ordered the oyster platter plate, and it was everything. The oysters were fresh, perfectly seasoned, and had that rich, briny flavor you can only get when they're done right. The sides were hot, flavorful, and paired perfectly with the platter. The service was quick, the food came out piping hot, and the whole experience felt worth every penny. If you love seafood that's juicy, well-seasoned, and cooked with care, The Juicy Crab never disappoints. I'll definitely be back for more. Exceptional Service at The Juicy Crab I had another great experience at The Juicy Crab, and my waitress made it even better. She was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything came out just the way I wanted. My oyster platter plate was fresh, seasoned perfectly, and served piping hot -- and she checked in at the right times without ever being overbearing. Her professionalism and great attitude really stood out. Excellent food and excellent service -- that's why I keep coming back.

    Date night to try a new spot for dinner…read more We were seated promptly but our server kept missing our requested items. As for the food, it definitely was not I normally expect from a seafood restaurant. Sauce was bland and not well seasoned. I have made better seafood boil and this rewiew is not to be critical, but for customers to return changes would have to be made. As for the facility, very clean and relaxed for families and special dates. And for my veterans, they do honour you with a pretty good discount. Semper Fi......
