El Jalisco

This Mexican restaurant has a very different feel than most of your traditional Mexican…read morerestaurants. It didn't have all the Spanish decor and music playing. It has a very open dining room and accent lights along the walls. We had a young man named Jackson as our server. He seemed a bit timid but provided great service. He made suggestions on dishes and made sure we had what we needed as the meal progressed. My friend, who has frequented this place before stated that their menus were new. I have included photos of the food menus. For me, they weren't very user friendly or organized well. Either way, we figured it out. The dishes were generous in portions and very very delicious! I had the meal #44 which is the Naked Pablano Pepper which I got with chicken. My friend took Jackson's recommendation of the #32 which is the Plato de Carnitas. Great experience. Would definitely come back!

I've been to Sol Taqueria several times now--both of their locations--and they never miss. If…read moreyou're craving authentic, homestyle Mexican food, this is the spot. The slow-cooked brisket tacos are absolutely on point: tender, rich, and packed with flavor that keeps me coming back. Every visit has been consistent, and that's what I love most--you know you're going to get great food and great service every time. Sol Taqueria really nails that balance of authenticity and comfort. It feels like a place you can count on, whether it's your first visit or your tenth.

I judge a good Mexican restaurant by its chips and guac, and Cucos' chips and guac are VERY GOOD!!!…read moreI ordered a large to share with a friend, and it was actually too much guac since we both were also eating an entree. So, if you want to just nibble on something, go with a small. HOWEVER!!!!! I believe chips and salsa should be complimentary at a Mexican restaurant, but they are not here. :/ As predicted, I ordered the chicken fajitas, which actually comes with a nice-sized dollop of guac! The spread took over the whole table with the lettuce, tortillas and grilled chicken. Surprisingly, it didn't come on a sizzling pan. I want to note that there's a cute outdoors patio, but it's a bit tight. The tables are really close together, so conversations were heard by everyone, which is fine.

I wasn't a fan of the tacos so for this review I'll focus strictly on the fried chicken and I must say the fried chicken is off the chain. It's thick, juicy and just the right amount of heat and flavor. The fries show up and show out as well. The blend of Mexican-southern spices is faint and addictive. I've definitely added this to places I know I can trust to stop by and get some good chicken. Highly recommend

I was first introduced to Tacos Favorito when I went there with my team from work. They told me…read morethat it was very inexpensive but totally authentic. A lot of restaurants claim to be "authentic", but this place doesn't have to make any claims as it is inherently authentic due to the national origin of its chefs and recipes. I take the opportunity to introduce this restaurant to as many people as possible. I take out of town friends there and they are a little scared when they see the locale and outside of the building, but once you meet the incredibly friendly owners and chef there and eat the awesome food they make, all of that pomp that you expect of an American restaurant is unimportant. When you sit down to eat, don't expect them to bring you chips and salsa, that's not how they "do it" here. They'll bring you a menu and you can order a la carte tacos,burritos, tortas (big sandwiches), tamales with different meat choices including beef, chicken, pork, and other more authentic meat choices (I'll leave it as an exercise for the reader to discover those new tastes for themselves). They have a TV on at all times playing Mexican soap operas (during lunch). If you want real Mexican food in Montgomery (anywhere for that matter), then you need to try this restaurant. This is not Tex-Mex or any other Americanized watered down food, it is the real deal. That means that you should probably put your sauce on the side at first until you discover how extremely spicy the sauces are.

In terms of customer service, our waiter went above and beyond in two different languages and made sure my entire table was well taken care of. The food itself was delicious and there's something about the Salsa that made me use it as a side sauce for the entrée itself and not just the chips They're interior had smaller and larger tables which could accommodate larger parties if need be, but often in the corner, there were folks working from their laptops, enjoying supper All in all, it was a great experience and my group had a lot of fun so I'm glad that we went and would definitely go again when I'm back in town for school
