This was a terrific find as we were driving through Lee on a Sunday afternoon. The restaurant was pretty empty upon arrival, and we were promptly greeted with thick, crispy chips and delicious salsa. We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch, including the birria tacos, carne asada, and meal combos. The queso on the chimichangas was mild but paired well with the rice and creamy beans. Good food served fast, attentive service, reasonable prices, good portions, etc. if we lived closer, we'd be regulars. read more

Drove through the area to visit MassMOCA, stopped by here serendipitously. Did not expect excellent Mexican in the area, but gotta give it to them the tacos are ON POINT. Service is quick and the vibes are chill -- will have to come back again if I drive through the area. :) read more

Outstanding carnitas tacos--some of the best I've ever had. Good guacamole, chips, and salsa. Service friendly but slow, but this was not the fault of waitstaff. They are very short staffed. One thing: local water isn't great. Table water tasted like a swimming pool. They need a decent nonalcoholic beer, anything from Athletic Brewing, or maybe Sam Adam's Just the Haze. Corona NA and Heineken 0.0 are just not good nonalcoholic beers. This problem is really easy to fix! read more

Third time visiting this fabulous spot. We shared a burrito supreme and it came with two! This stuffed yumminess was plenty for both of us especially because we couldn't stop eating the homemade chips and salsa! read more

Visiting the area we stopped into this quaint little restaurant on Main Street for an early dinner. We were greeted with a smile and directed to take a seat anywhere. We felt right at home in a comfortable, clean booth. The bar tender came right over with menus and took our drink orders. He gave us the perfect amount of time to make our dinner selections and was patient as we questioned clarity on a few menu items. The rice and refried beans were fabulous. The chicken burrito was spectacular. I didn't care for the soft ground beef taco. A bit too much cumin for my liking and messy to eat. When the bartender collected our plates I shared my feedback regarding the taco. He was apologetic but I told him it was alright I loved everything else about the meal. Much to our surprise he delivered a lava cake on the house for us to share. Needless to say, his thoughtfulness resulted in a substantial tip, happy customers and this review. I would recommend this establishment and eat there again! read more

My husband and I went for dinner last night- food, drinks and service all 10/10. We had beef burritos, table guacamole and special enchiladas. Highly Recommend. read more

In a world where there is a Mexican restaurant just about every place you go you need to make sure you get to Jalisco Cantina to see the difference. This is the real deal. Quesadillas are giant and if you want a stand out quesadilla order the Fajita Quesadilla. Shrimp dishes are excellent. While many diners sometimes pass on the refried beans in other restaurants you'll love them here. Flautas topped with freshly made guacamole are delicious. If the weather outside is cold start with a bowl of chicken tortilla soup. Lots of great chicken, pork. Shrimp and steak combos and variations. Everything is fresh and authentic. Service is friendly and excellent. Oh..... don't forget about the excellently prepared Margaritas available with top shelf tequilas. read more

We are visiting the area and many restaurants were closed on Monday. We stopped at this restaurant and we were so happy with the food and the service! We ordered 1/2 a picture of jalapeño margaritas that were yummy and plentiful. Food was delicious and service was wonderful even though they got super busy. Cute inside and a great value for your money. read more

The restaurant was clean and staff were very friendly. We enjoyed the shrimp fajitas and the Bisteca ala Mexicana. Portions were great and everything was served very hot. A great place to go if you are hungry! read more

Moved to the East Coast just over a year ago, and have been trying to find a great Mexican restaurant and finally I have found the holy grail. Chips and salsa were great, Carnitas Tacos were big and full of meat. The one item that was less than expected was the beef chimichanga, the fillings were delicious but they were barely fried and not traditionally deep fried. House Margaritas were good and the ambiance was just as expected for a great Mexican Cantina. Make sure you stop in early as the place was packed by the time my wife and I left. read more

Delicious tacos. Really, not kidding. The refried beans are great, the service was great, the chips and salsa excellent. Not easy to find good Mexican food around here, this place is a winner. read more

Whatta great place!!! Decor inside was beautiful hand painted murals that reinforced the feeling of a true Latin restaurant. Beautifully carved booths and a great bar. Service was great and very attentive. Food was to die for!!! True authentic Latin food is so much better than anywhere else. Started with warm tortillas and delicious hand made salsa, I had the Dos Amigos, my wife had Pollo Hawaiano. Both came out sizzling on nice cast iron dishes. For dessert we had Deep Fried Ice Cream. Everything was perfect! Oh and lets not forge the Raspberry Margarita that was huge and tasted amazing!!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! read more

He was very happy with the dish - lots of tasty meat. Worth the 40 min drive from our resort. And the salsa with the chips was delicious too! Service was prompt and friendly. read more

We are from southern california and this really is some of the best Mexican food you can find. We ate from the vegetarian menu, chile poblano and fajitas chimichanga. The service was excellent. It's a family restaurant so a bit loud and there was one small child with powerful lungs but all in all a great experience read more

My wife and I stopped by for dinner on a Thursday night. Everything was awesome and the portions were very generous. Mezcal margarita was mighty tasty and I got one of the best horchatas I have ever had. The cheesecake burrito was definitely my wife's favorite. Our waitress Andrea was very kind and attentive. Will return. read more

The BEST Birria Tacos & Authentic Mexican Food! Hands down the most flavorful birria tacos I've ever had--tender, juicy, and packed with bold, authentic flavor. Every bite was perfection! The entire meal felt like a true Mexican culinary experience. The service was amazing--super friendly, welcoming, and fast. You can really feel the pride they put into both their food and customer care. And the prices? Totally fair for the quality you get. This place is a hidden gem and 100% worth it. Do yourself a favor and check it out--you won't regret it! read more

Having some new opening pains, but food is great and prices are excellent. Service is getting better. Best Mexican in Lee

I rarely go out of my way to leave a review, but wow! I was so impressed with the food as well as the work ethic. The ingredients in the tostada were very fresh and the shrimp taco was awesome. Food was pretty quick. I was in awe, tho, of how every staff member was working exceptionally hard. We are not from the area and but I made sure to like it on Facebook so I can come back! read more

My friend and I are on vacation and neither of us liked the chimichangas. The rice was more like microwave rice. Service was not fast nor were we asked about refills or if we needed anything else. The place was small but cute. read more

Jalisco Cantina is LEGIT. First off, service is amazing. The staff is super friendly and on top of drink refills, checking in without being intrusive. Second, the food is unbelievably good. Proper Mexican food is tough to come by in the northeast. There's a very good place in Great Barrington, but I'd dare say this place is even better. Tons of veggie options and several things that can be made vegan. read more

Great Service, Great Food, Prefect Atmosphere ! Staff is friendly and the restaurant was very clean. Didn't have to ask for refills on soda or salsa and chips. Chimichangas and veggie fajitas were excellent! Nice vibe with the murals and music. Meals came quick and were smoking hot! Large portions at reasonable prices. I'll be back! read more

And another great meal. Fresh. Tasty. Great service. Love this new addition in Lee. Check it out!! read more

My husband and I just returned from a delicious dinner at Jalisco Cantina on Main Street in Lee, Mass. We ordered a margarita, chicken soup, shrimp fajitas, dinner tacos (also shrimp) and flan for dessert. Yum! They were very accommodating--we substituted black beans for refried beans and corn tortillas for flour tortillas. We shared the huge margarita and they even put salt on half the rim for me! Our server, Andrea, was lovely--friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. read more

We had an excellent experience at this restaurant last night! The owner / our waitress introduced herself to us and was very accommodating at answering questions we had. Husband had ala carte chicken burritos and i had enchiladas. We also ordered Queso to go along with our chips and yummy salsa. Both entrees had the same delicious red sauce - we both felt it was full of flavor , not acidic and would definitely order again. The Queso and salsa had just enough heat without being overpowering. Would definitely recommend and will be adding this to our list! read more

Surprisingly good food in a casual setting. Owners were lovely. A welcome addition to the area!

I hate to start a review with "I lived in Southern California for 20 years" but I lived in Southern California for over 20 years and it's especially important here because the best Mexican food outside Mexico is in Southern California and I ate it every chance I got. Jalisco is by far the most legit spot I've tried since moving to the Berkshires. There are 3 ways to measure this. Their street tacos, their birria, and their hot salsa. ALL OF THESE ARE AMAZING and totally authentic. Try this place as soon as you can! read more

Disappointing.. Taco's are served with only cheese and lettuce .. no tomatoes..Chicken buritto was served with tomato sauce and melted cheese on top.. inside.. just chicken NO BEANS...everything little add on cost extra.. I asked for some hot sauce and they gave me a choice..Cholula or home made.. I asked for the home made and they charged me for it.. lol read more

About as close to authentic birria tacos you will get to in the Berkshires. The carne asada was really good too.

The chicken tacos were great and nice service. A nice addition to Lee. I'll be back
