Steak Burrito
Mark M.

Jalisco Express has been my go to spot for a good burrito in the Oak Lawn area. I have been going here for years. I decided to call in an order and go with a steak burrito. Always someone on the other line whenever I call in. Steak burrito was ready in 5 mins for a quick in and out. I'm greeted whenever I come in and I always leave with plenty of sauces and peppers to pair with what I get. Very bright and lively inside with a menu you cannot miss!

Been ordering tacos for the last month and Jalisco has the best flavor among those we have tried. Fast service whenever we order for take out or dine in as well. Happy tummy

Chimichanga Burrito
Sami J.

If you're craving good Mexican food, you've got to check this place out. They have a window inside for ordering to-go and they also have a handful of tables inside for dine-in service. We called in a to-go order our first time trying the place and we have dined in twice since then. We walked in and sat down at one of the tables, and we were quickly greeted by our waitress. She brought out chips and salsa which were fresh and delicious. We ordered the steak nachos and the steak chimichanga burrito with a chile Relleno added inside. We also ordered a side of rice and beans. The service throughout our meal was excellent each time. The steak nachos (which we have ordered all 3 times) are scrumptious. They are fresh tortilla chips topped with steak, refried beans, cheese, avocado slices, and sour cream. They were so good we ate them all before I could snap a picture. The chimichanga burrito was also very tasty. The tortilla shell was perfectly crispy and the ingredients inside were fresh and delicious. The rice is flavored excellently and the steak is not fatty and grisly like I've found at other restaurants. We've been searching for a new spot for burritos and steak nachos as we moved pretty far away from our old favorite and this spot is everything we wanted and more. They're also open a lot later than most other restaurants around. I highly recommend checking this place out the next time you want high quality, fairly priced Mexican food.

receipt for jalisco express

I just ordered steak Fajita today. It was terrible. The service was terrible. I did not receive napkins or plastic utensils. The order was incomplete. I regret the 52.00 waisted on 2 fajitas dinners. The nasty lady at the register with thick dark lipstick was the most rude and disrespectful person I've ever encountered in a restaurant. I've never left a review for a business that washas absolutely no taste. Don't be fooled by all the color in the food. It's bland. Nasty. Over priced. I demanded a refund the man told me they don't work for free. They forgot my drinks and didn't apologize. They acted annoyed. They don't give salad or avocado you have to ASK for it like. Online it says 14.99 lunch he charged 19.99 He said it was a fake page. Which is a lie. Never eat this fake dirty disgusting over priced filth. Trust me.

Chicken taco, Al Pastor, steak

All tacos were delicious and flavorful! Service was top tier. A must try if your in the area, it's much better than any other place I've visited. Doesn't look like much, but the ambiance is great inside.

Burrito!!

It could have been the hour but OMG the burritos, tacos, guacamole, chips, salsas, and veggies are the bomb! Authentic and love that you can get a bottled Mexican coke!

Taco salad in the tortilla bowl was very good and filling. My only complaint would be that the tortilla bowl was not crispy at all!

For me this is a good burrito and quesadilla dinner spot, that's usually what I order to go, good portion and no long wait.

It's a burrito/taco place, it's not bad, but it's not always good. The service is okay. That's really about all I can say.

If you think you've "tried" vegan food before, go to Abuelita Coco in Oak Lawn and reset your…read moreexpectations. From the first bite, you can taste the intention. This isn't just plant-based food -- it's thoughtful, balanced, and crafted with real love. I had the fish tacos (yes, vegan -- and absolutely convincing), the corn ribs, mushroom sandwich, truffle fries, mushroom quesadilla, horchata, and Jamaica. Not one miss. Every single item was a hit. The flavors are layered without being heavy. Comforting without being greasy. Satisfying without the crash. You leave feeling full but light -- the kind of meal where your mouth, your stomach, and your health all say "thank you." If you go, honestly? Do yourself a favor: order a sandwich and a drink. Sit with it. Taste it. Let it speak for itself. This is the kind of place we need not just to survive, but to thrive. You can feel the family behind it. The mom. The owner. The care. The pride. The love is truly in the food. Oak Lawn is lucky to have them. Go hungry. Leave grateful.

Been here a few times, food is so good that I forget to take pictures, not this time!! Well, except…read morefor the corn in a cup, more like a big bowl. We dove in so quick, forgot to take a picture before we violated it! Coffee.... We both had lattes that were crafted w care, so wonderful. Apps.... Corn in cup: Nice big bowl of crispy corn with plenty of ingredients to complement it. Just so good, ya don't want it to end. Corn "Ribs": Yeah more corn, just one look and you're hooked before ya try them. The crema and Coco Salsa are a perfect addition to this delicious and beautiful dish. "Calamari": What? Huh? Coconut meat? Okay, I'll try it. What in the world is going on in this place?!! My mind is blown, what just happened?!! Crispy on the outside, so tender in the middle.The cocktail sauce was great too. I swing both ways, I mean my son calls me vegan fluid, lol. This makes makes me rethink real Calamari, this may actually be better. I'm Italian, those words don't come easy. Dinner.... Yeah, we were so full already, but had to keep pushing Pozole: Smokey red chili broth, I could sip on all day! Jackfruit was so tender and chickpeas were done right. They nailed it again. "Fish" Tacos: Yeah, more coconut meat. Had to give it another go in a different version. Nice big crispy and tender pieces, cold creamy coleslaw on top w chipotle mayo. The taco itself was also delicious. Flavorful rice and guac nicely complement this dish. It's a must have. Dessert, lol, just had to squeeze more food in..... Wife had a Chocolate Concha. Usually concha's come up short for me, but not at this place. I took a bite :) They just don't miss. It was delicious. It was finally time to waddle out of there. In closing..... The owner is always amazing and there all the time, super friendly. Actually remembered us and what we ordered last time! Food is always consistent, the quality is top notch, portions are big, food is beautifully presented and you can tell they care about it. Just look at all the photos on yelp, the meals are always presented the same. You can see what your gonna get and actually get it! You need to realize you're at a real special place, you are NOT going to get this food anywhere else. So treat yourself, splurge a little, you're not gonna regret it. Thank you Abuelita Coco for NOT making miss meat or dairy when I go there. So much love for this place, just wish it was closer to the city. Maybe someday, one can only wish.

Overall, the food was solid. I ordered the churrasco típico and the steak was well-seasoned and…read moreflavorful--I was definitely happy with that. That said, a few things missed the mark. I understand avocados are pricey, but $12 for guacamole felt excessive. My $15 margarita was also a letdown--it wasn't shaken, and if you're someone who enjoys a good cocktail, you can absolutely taste the difference. For that price, I expected better. Our server was kind and approachable, but the overall energy and the ambiance of the whole place came off a little dull. It just didn't have the lively vibe I was hoping for. I'm glad I gave it a try, but I don't see myself coming back anytime soon. I really wanted to love it, but I can't justify more than 3 stars.

Cochinita Pibil served with plantains & cheese was excellent, which I ordered based on servers recommendation. Beautiful fajitas, great steak, and street tacos were delicious. I always appreciate when you can customize guacamole, as we prefer ours with no onions. There is a lot of local Mexican food competing with this restaurant, but we found their offerings to be unique and made with love. Bottom line, We will return. Room for improvement: * There is an intrusive flashing light that was visible from most angles inside the restaurant. We sat far away and it was reflecting dramatically off the window across the street. Beware, for the sensory overload sensitive. * In contrast to other reviews, we did not love the Margaritas. Very sweet, no freshness or lime flavor in the 'classic' just sweet and sour mix vibes. We continue our search for sublime Margaritas.
