    Tamale with beans and rice.... I got a dinner that had two tamales in it, but this is only one of them.

    This is my spot for pork tamales! I love them absolutely love them! My husband gets chimichanga and he loves them from there too. The portions are great. The rice and beans are good also, and the food is always fresh. The customer service has been on point every single time.... I think I've gone there probably about four or five times if not more. Very nice restaurant inside too even though I've not eaten inside as I always do takeout. They said they have live music on Friday, but I have not checked it out yet.

    Review posted late, transaction was 7/23/25 Food was really good, we ordered to-go and got served fairly quickly. I got the Mexican lasagna and my husband ordered the birria tacos as well as the adobo chicken. The portion sizes are fairly big so you won't finish them all in one sitting. But overall, enjoyed the Customer Service and enjoyed the food. However, the inside is very loud with the music.

    Wednesday around 7pm. Set at the bar counter. Was not busy but not too slow either. Bartender was good at taking orders on the drinks and menus. El Jalisco's Favorite was really good. Big portion and flavorful rib-eye steak with sauce along with rice, beans, tortillas, lettuce, tomatoes and sour cream.

    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
    Valkyrie R.

    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

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.

    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.

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......

    Unfortunately, I can't review the food or drinks because we never had the opportunity to enjoy…read morethem. I was planning to celebrate my daughter's birthday with a party of eight and called ahead to ask about seating. I was told that reservations were not typically required. When I asked about the larger table in the back, I was informed that reservations could be made for that specific table, but they needed to be requested a week in advance. Since the birthday was only a few days away, that wasn't an option. The person I spoke with encouraged me to come in anyway, explaining that Sundays around 3:00 p.m. were usually not busy. I stopped by around 2:00 p.m. to inquire in person. After contacting the owner, the staff member informed me that I could reserve the table by emailing the owner and paying a $50 fee. What was frustrating was that the restaurant was completely empty at the time. It was difficult to understand why we would need to pay an additional fee simply to sit together and spend money at the restaurant, especially when the larger table was the only one that could accommodate our group. The most disappointing part was having to take our celebration elsewhere. I also felt bad for the server, who appeared to have very few customers and lost the opportunity to earn a gratuity from our party. I had hoped to support a local business and celebrate my daughter's birthday there, but the seating policy ultimately prevented us from doing so.
