The food is just ok and the amount you get is enormous, but in a few hours you will probably need to sit on the toilet because it's going to give you Montezuma's revenge! Also, my BFF and I went there before for a sit down dinner and we were segregated from the other customers because we we are Transgender/LGBTQI women and they didn't really want us there it seemed! Not a place I will patronize ever again! An anti-LGBTQI establishment! read more

I have been to this location 2 times now. Once in November 2011 and once in January 2012. SUMMARY: Very good place for an authentic mexican meal -- NOT A TACO SHOP... This is NOT a Taco Shop so if you are from SoCal, like me, don't expect to go here and get bomb Carne Asada Fries. They are a family restaurant. Don't go here to get things a la carte... go here if you want a MEAL! They do have an extensive menu and prepare Mexican food authentically, which makes sense since it is apparently family run. The menu is so impressive with the variety. There is also a full bar and the back page of the menu is devoted to about 80 mixed drinks they know how to make which is quite a bit more impressive than any bar I have been to recently. Additionally everything is affordable.. particularly for me as I live in SoCal and prices are much higher there. They are consistent with the service and the food. You start with chips and salsa at the table and I am impressed with the flavor of this salsa. It isn't as hot as I like but that is good for the average consumer. The Chili Verde was excellent as was the Steak Fajitas. The steak was very lean and full of flavor. The pork was tender and flavorful as well. It appeared that the other food my family ordered was also good. The beans and rice are also very good... At the end of the meal they bring cinnamon crisps with raspberry (I think) sauce and whipped cream on them to everyone at the table... a nice refreshing treat to end the meal. The location is modest in outside presentation but the inside is HUGE. It would be a great place for a party. The service is attentive and friendly. When I spoke a few words of spanish they were immediately excited and encouraged me to try more with them. I definitely recommend this location to anyone seeking a good authentic Mexican meal. read more

very bland food; no salt, no garlic, no black pepper on table or on the supposed wood fired steak that had no smoke flavor. they also charged extra for using a credit card and even though the sticker at the register said they gave a discount for paying in cash, that turn out to be false. prices for dinner were pretty high imo. I only gave it two stars due to the ambiance of the decor inside. I shall not be returning as I had to bring most of the meal home to add garlic, salt and pepper to my meal to even be able to halfway enjoy the meal. This restaurant used to be one of my favorites for Mexican food years ago, yet their prices have gone up and the quality has gone Way down. I do Not recommend unless you are looking for over hot with cayenne or jalepeno and super bland otherwise food. the chili relleno and the refried beans were the only items I ate that had any salt in them before being served. read more

Best carnitas in town! I've moved away from Eugene, but we have to visit every time we're here! I usually go for the enchiladas, but I decided to go for the Asada Fry Nachos... Uh-mazing! The while staff here is so wonderful and VB friendly, too! Great drinks, quick service, and huge servings! I love this place! read more

I went here for the first time last weekend. The service and food were great. I had carne asada and it was tender and seasoned perfectly. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was because the server was not going to give me a straw with my water. He suggested I needed to order a drink.... that you pay for. I seriously thought he was joking...he wasn't. I couldn't believe it! I know there's a ban on straws but to not want to give me a straw because I didn't pay for a drink is ridiculous. There were 4 in our party....2 of which did order drinks. I honestly don't know if I will return. Other than this situation.... the rest of the dining experience was fine. read more

This place is great! The staff is very friendly and the food is delicious. I ordered to go and they didn't skimp on the portions so I have lunch and dinner out of one meal. They include chips and salsa with to go orders which is great because their salsa is so good. read more

Jalisco Mexican Restaurant - Chimichanga and Chile relleno combo - Mexican Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

This is a really cute place but the food was just okay. Rice was soggy. Nothing tastes particularly fresh. If you're in a hurry it's not the worst but it's not great either. read more

Jalisco Mexican Restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

Never order online at this place. They do not know how to handle online orders. They were busy but there were plenty of booths open. I waited 55 minutes and finally they came over to me and said we can't find your order. Which was frustrating because they asked me my order name a few times. I said, I would just cancel but I already paid. I was told that the kitchen was the bottleneck. They found my order a few minutes later. I asked how long it would be and he said I'm next. 15 minutes later they came out with my food. Great food, but apparently they cannot handle a Friday night crowd with tables still available. read more

The food is ok, basic Mexican fare a step up from taco bell. A little too salty. My issue is I've eaten there twice and both times they were funny with the money. The first time they overcharged me $2 and this time i gave the girl $15 for a $9.50 meal, said "give me $3 back." She claimed i only gave her $10. I know for a fact it was $15 because i had four 5's, now I have one. Not worth arguing about, i just won't ever go back. Plus the tiger king wannabe that was my server never refilled my water once. read more

I found the Mexican food to be a bit too American. The Mexican didn't arrive with my plate. Maybe too far from the border. Spent my whole life in Az and haven't found great Mexican food yet. Real Mexican food. It was fine for a drinking night. read more

We will never come back. The server had a major attitude and food is terrible. I got the two taco combo and the hard taco shell fell apart, the meat was tasteless, the rice tasted like it was made three days earlier and the beans are tasteless. If you like good Mexican food don't go to Jalisco's. read more

An absolute gem!!! So happy we found this place. Food is authentic, service is fantastic, and margaritas are large! Can't wait to come back here!!! read more

Came here today for cinco de mayo . Service was fast and efficient. Chips and salsa were the best I've ever had at a Mexican restaurant. They gave us a little dessert at the end which was cool... not sure if they normally do that or if it was just for the holiday. Main dish was good but not great. Chicken taco we got (only $2) wasn't very good. Overall 3.5/5 read more

Jaslisco's is a favorite local restaurant of my family. The food is dependably good. Some items are better than other, but it's all been good. I really appreciate that they have both ground beef and shredded beef. Some dishes seem to taste better with shredded beef and not all Mexican restaurants have it.The staff has always been very friendly, though not always quick. read more

We eat here occasionally, the food is always fresh made and hot. The staff is friendly and helpful. The margaritas are yummy. They always take good care and we never still hungry read more

Jalisco Mexican Restaurant - Yummy - Mexican Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

My sopitas combo plate was only average in taste. The pork squares were not tender or well seasoned. The guacamole was made with very overripe avocados...I couldn't eat it. My mom's chili relleno was basically a green chili omelet....so I guess they expect the dumb people not to know what relleno is supposed to be like. I supposed there are dishes that are better, but with so many restaurants to choose from, every restaurant should strive to cook absolutely delicious food. read more

Typically my favorite place to go.. I had nachos the other day, (only thing I had all day) and got super sick 3/4 hours later... diagnosis... food poisoning... yup.. fun way to start the weekend. read more

Horrible. First off, let me say if you are vegetarian, everything has lard in it, so don't bother. I ordered the Jalisco Quesadilla with shrimp. Upon receiving it, I wasn't impressed with my first taste, so I took another bite, still did not agree with my taste buds. My friend had ordered the same thing and even though there was only one other table in the restaurant at the time, our server was no where to be found and when he finally appeared and we asked if we could swap them out for just a plain cheese quesadilla instead since we didn't like it. We were told we still had to pay for what we ordered. He finally said fine fine just this one time, I will get you one cheese quesadilla but the other you have to pay for. My friend and I ended up sharing one cheese quesadilla, which still honestly wasn't even that great and paying full price for the one that neither of us liked and wasn't even touched. Our server also informed us that large margaritas were on special today for $5.75. When our bill was received, noticed that we were charged $6.75. Will not come here ever again. read more

Eh. We're still looking for good Mexican food in Eugene. The portions at Jalisco are enormous, but the food is bland, the service is bad, and the atmosphere in depressing. read more

Cold, wet weather makes me want something hot, meaning both "caliente" and "picante." Super Taco is usually my go-to for those, but the recent snow had them closed on a Saturday, so DLW and I hit Jalisco. I had been here with coworkers for weekday lunch, so I pretty much knew what to expect. Pluses are hotter than usual salsa with the chips, lunch menu that is offered every day instead of just on weekdays, and a full bar. Minuses are a rather dingy interior, gigantic yet routine menu, and spotty service. Portions are huge. Even the lunch offerings are plenty for a dinner serving. We had a chimichanga and chili verde burrito, and couldn't finish everything, including rice and beans which were so-so. This is an okay spot for lunch, but just okay. read more

Best salsa in town. Would be nice to add a few new menu items. Been eating there for 30 years.

Horrible service! I was only waited on when I was ready to order and ready to pay. Never again, service is key people! Food wasn't even that great! No thank you Jalisco! read more

Jalisco Mexican Restaurant - You spill the dessert chip on the table and don't clean it off my drink or table? Horrible service. - Mexican Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

My parents and I had a tradition of going here every time they were in town to visit. The only reason we stopped is because they kind of got bored, I guess, and we started checking out all the hipster places in town. It's been amusing. Anyway, this place is great and I want to go again because I miss it. They have tons of stuff on the menu, pretty much any combination of any "Mexican restaurant food" you might be thinking of. The portions are gigantic, and you will leave completely satisfied and stuffed. One time I spilled water all over the place (totally full glass) and they gave me enough napkins to cover the table about three inches thick, haha. Another time I totally messed up my order (my fault) and they offered to switch it out. I was cool with it, I don't mind. They give you chips and salsa, and refill your chips as much as you want. Same with water. A lot of times they're slow, and to give them a break I usually just ask them to leave the pitcher for us. The wait time isn't bad at all and the staff is super friendly and remembers my dad even if we don't visit for like 3 months, which just blows my mind. My dad is super impressed. I love, love, love, love, love that they have tamales on the menu. Truly a Eugene treasure. That's not something every place does, you know. At the end of your meal they give you some fried cinnamon-sugar coated desserts, I believe these are called buñuelos. They're a really great end to your meal. Anyway, if you want something tasty, filling, and in a comfy as heck environment, this place is totally bound to please. Please support them and their wonderful customer service. I adore them. read more

This has to be some of the worst Mexican food I've ever had. I ordered the deluxe tostada with ground beef. By the time I got home, it was ice cold and what I could find of the "crispy flour tortilla" was nothing but mush. For $10.75, you get maybe a tablespoon of meat filling and beans below a bunch of shredded lettuce. They told me the small order of rice wasn't enough for two people, but they still allowed me to order it even though the 2nd entree, which they talked me into getting, came with rice. Total ripoff. The people that answer the phone don't listen to you, and just repeat themselves over and over. I can't say the food was any good since most of it was way too much dry spanish rice and iceberg lettuce. Disappointing waste of money. read more

Best Mexican restaurant I've ever been to. Ive been coming here for years and it's always amazing! Staff is so sweet and helpful.

This place is owned by the same people who own Don Juan's on River Road. Somehow the move across town has left some of the flavor behind. This place is located in the strip mall along west 11th before you hit Fred Meyer's. If you are on that side of town and are wanting a quick lunch that isn't fast food, this is a good choice. The wait staff is very prompt, the atmosphere typical, but the food lacks luster. If you are going for standards, the food is like most other places in Eugene. Don't attempt to order anything fancy or you may be disappointed. read more

Food is nothing special but it's nothing bad either. Service is fantastic, literally the best restaurant service I have experienced in Eugene - of course, that's a low bar, so let me add that I would eat here frequently in any city because the staff are that friendly and good at their jobs. read more

Never have problem's here. Great food and service every time. We come here for lunch once in a while and we leave satisfied every time. read more

Dropped a star this visit because they kept forgetting me! Literally. I had to remind them I was here. And then later had to find someone for a refill. Then they took my card and forgot to bring it back! Restaurant was not busy so not sure why this was such an issue. Am I that forgettable? I came for fajitas and left with a complex... read more

Jalisco Mexican Restaurant - Margarita - Mexican Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

See all

I heard this place was really good, so have it a try. First time was just okay, so I decided to try again to get a better impression. Today I ordered supreme nachos- there were barely any refried beans on them and the small dollops tasted watered down. The cheese wasn't well melted either. Not very good nachos... Then I saw the review from 6 days ago. fingers crossed I don't get sick. read more

Just the best! Always nice. Good service. Yummy food. Chicken nuggets for picky kids. I like everything I've tried here. Been going here for 15 years. read more

Legit place. Came for my friends Masters Graduation. A little late but we made it. The staff here are so friendly and the customer service is outstanding. I truly recommend this place for authentic Mexican food, people, and drinks . Come show love. Love from Cali. read more

This was what I expected for a Mexican lunch in a strip mall. It was neither good nor bad. The service also was neither good nor bad. I give 3 stars because it was the average food I was expecting, and not deserving of 5 stars. They were friendly when they sat us and checked on us once or twice after dropping off the food. It kind of took a long time for the corn tortillas I ordered with my lunch to arrive, but it wasn't too big of a deal. As mentioned by others the portions were ridiculously large. My wife got a burrito that was bigger than any we have ever seen. I had chicken fajitas. Oh yeah the salsa was thick, spicy, and delicious! Yum. read more

The staff here is friendly and the food is authentic. I usually get carne asada and it's always delicious. The salsa is nice and spicy, as I feel like it should be. It's made fresh, as are the chips. It also has a big bar and TVs to watch soccer, which I enjoy. I'm actually surprised the rating is only 3 stars, it's honestly more authentic than tacovore, but not as "hip." It's also the only good restaurant where you can sit and enjoy Mexican food without having to order at a counter. read more

This is one of my family's favorite restaurants! The staff is always so kind, and we get our food QUICK! The servings are definitely large, but it is very good food. They are currently limiting capacity for COVID-19 protocols, so wait times are slightly longer to get sat, however, that is customary at every restaurant now. But it is a great restaurant with good food and good people. read more

We have been eating here for years when we feel like being treated like family, spending a reasonable amount of money and having our favorite Mexican seafood dishes. I noticed that others who rate this place less than 4 didn't try the seafood. There is menu of traditional and consistently well cooked dishes, but the seafood is their specialty. Just had the crab enchiladas last night and found it to have lot's of real crab in a tasty authentic enchilada sauce, just the way I like it. I've had this many times over the last 20 years and it has consistent quality. Also the shrimp Fajitas are the best in town. The service is fast and friendly, and they serve the best traditional cocktails anywhere in town. read more

This is your standard NW Mexican Food. Nothing bad, nothing special. Decent food at a decent price. That said, I eat here around once a month because it's near by and the beef fajitas are pretty great. read more
