Simple and to the point "go to" spot. Service is good, and their enchiladas have my heart. Good Northgate staple.

It's OK Restaurant very typical of a big Mexican restaurant with all the normal things on the menu. Nothing really stands out as being amazing but the food is decent. read more

Jalisco Mexican Restaurant - Front door - Mexican Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I haven't been for awhile because I don't live in Seattle. Martin, the manager is a great person and manager. The staff is always nice and have a great sense of humor. The food is excellent and has been for decades. The Jalisco burrito was my go to dinner for years. My dining partner always got the #10, which I think is a chili relleno and enchilada. Refried beans are some of the best I've had. Started going to the one on 1st and Denny in the 1980s and have been to all the other locations before they closed. Wish they'd open one in Olympia! read more

Very good food, drinks are generous, service is great and the restaurant itself has a great atmosphere.

Jalisco is a Lake City institution. And it looks better every time I go there. The decor is cool Mexican artistic. The employees are experienced and always welcoming. And the food is traditional and delicious. It's been a go to place for birthdays and other celebrations for many years and it still is. And I love the carne asada. read more

Hidden gem in Seattle (northgate) area. I loved everything that ordered. We were little late for happ hour. But we definitely will come back. Friendly staff and cute place too. Parking maybe a little hard to find cause it behind the apartment complex. But their food was good. read more

Since when did this place start charging extra if you use a credit card? I wish I had been told before paying. Also, what kind of Mexican restaurant runs out of queso? I wish their salsa was chunkier. I do like that the chips are warm and the beer is cold. read more

When I was younger, my family used to go to this corner Mexican spot every Friday, for birthdays, casual lunch's or just for good food. It was even my sisters first job at this place. This restaurant was our home they were apart of the family. Jalisco Mexican restaurant is exactly the same feel as a grew up. They are warm, welcoming and the sweetest people. You walk in, they know you by name, they make jokes and you're already laughing by the time you hit the table. Besides the amazing customer service, the food is delicious and big portions and the drinks are on point. To say this is our place we got to every week is an understatement. If you want a fun time and to always feel like your family, come to Jalisco. We got the cheese enchilada, chicken mole enchilada, and carne asada and even had the nachos. Everything is amazing. read more

To preface this I went with my girl friend and we are in our early 20s. The food was really mid and I would not go again. Some of our waiters (the older man) were nice and had silly jokes. One of them kept sneaking up on me and tapping my shoulder and the first time it was silly BUT no one should be touching anyone without permission. The second time I was genuinely shocked/surprised and was uncomfortable. And then on the way out that same man bent over and barked at me three times in front of the entire restaurant and staff. What was worse is I was wearing a skirt so the whole situation was extremely uncomfortable, inappropriate and unnecessary. Maybe it was meant to be playful but it's actually harassment. A grown man should not be barking at 2 young girls. We walked out really fast and I will not be returning. read more

Food, cocktails, service, all awesome! Happy hour menu looks fresh, and you can always find something that is just what you want for dinner. Friendly staff and not-weak drinks. Great neighborhood restaurant! read more

It had been a few years since I've been to Jalisco's; I remembered it as a place for reasonably priced quality Mexican food . I was disappointed when I went in this week--shocked, actually. The prices are very high now--prices you'd expect of a highly rated Seattle restaurant. And not in keeping with other local Mexican restaurants. The good was average. Sadly i won't be returning. read more

Can't help but eat too many of the complimentary nachos because the salsa is tasty if in the mild side and a bit runny. Tried the spinach quesadillas from the appetizer menu. Tastes good, not great, with a good portion of sides this is an easy split with up to 4 others. Won't repeat if solo but would be fine recommending if with others. Had a single soft taco with asada. Balanced portion of meat and onions, the meat was well seasoned, and the soft shell tasted good while still being strong enough to hold it all together. Would repeat. Service was quick and polite and the place clean with good lighting and light instrumental background music. Street parking available and bus access nearby. read more

I'm not a big fan of Mexican food, and don't have much Mexican food experience so this is just my very subjective view. I had beef carne asada. It came with four pieces of tortillas. Rice was good, it's seasoned but was bit pale to me. Beef flank tasted good too, it's savory. I ended up wrapping the green onion with beef, it's so perfect. The grilled green onion was sweet and its fragrant added extra flavor to the beef.I don't like beans so I only had two bites. The portion was huge. read more

It is hard to find Mexican restaurants with colorful pops of color and decor. In a good way, this restaurant brought me back to the 90's and early 2000's with tequila bombers, huge fiestas, quinces, and waiters that really cared. It's like the Mexican version of a wisecracking Italo American in NY. I loved hearing the comeroderie between the waiters and locals and with themselves. It looked like a place where staff had fun. This vibe translated to the atmosphere. I tried the lunch special for $15 and had the pollo asado. The beans were delicious. This was the highlight. The humble frijole was cooked well and the care and spices really came through. The chicken was a generous portion and I could hardly finish it. Everything else was pretty general such as the rice and salsa. The warm tortillas tasted store bought. But hands down, service and atmosphere a 10. I'll return to try other dishes and I'm giving this restaurant a 4. It's local, it's fresh, and it takes the grimyness from two blocks away away. I would being family and drink NA cervezas. read more

We came here looking for a classic Mexican family restaurant experience. It felt right until the drink came. Classic marg 1/10 it tasted like a bad mix or the bottom of a bad mix with a little tequila. Then the food came. I got the Jalisco Enchilada which I didn't even finish two thirds of because the chicken was dry and it was slathered in sour cream. The rice and beans were forgettable and tasted like stuff I could have made at home from cans and boxes with more effort but for less money. My wife got the fajitas which were burned through and she didn't bother with them after a few bites. I felt pretty disappointed and wished I had spent the money elsewhere. We did not take home our unfinished plates and the servers did not even seem surprised or ask us how it went, they just rang me up and let me go haha read more

The food wasn't great, super dry fajitas, service started good, but quickly fell off. Had to beg for tortillas. Restaurant smells old & musty. read more

My friend picked this restaurant to celebrate my birthday. My gf ordered the most recommended carne asada, my friend got the beef fajitas and I got the pollo en la crema. Carne asada is muy delicioso. Beef fajitas is above average. But the pollo en la crema is not what I expected, it was not that creamy and the chicken breast was not tender enough. Overall, love the vibe and the holiday decoration of this restaurant. Worth a try! read more

Great food, great service, quick, but on the more expensive side. Highly recommend to those in search of a Mexican restaurant to throw into the rotation read more

We love this place, and it's our daughters favorite. Our family usually celebrates everyone's birthday here because they make it extra special (sombrero, dessert and song). We always capture an 'embarrassing' photo for the kids ha! It's similar to Red Robin's where it's not the best we've ever had, but it's still really good; and very reasonable. It's a cozy restaurant with low staff turnover. We've seen the same servers for about 7 years now. They are consistent with their delivery and staff are extremely friendly; great with kiddos! Friday nights are usually busy, yet the food arrived quickly! I'm watching my weight, but enjoyed the skinny margarita, and dish with grilled Chicken breast, pinto beans, grilled veggies and rice. It was super satiating and way too much food for one person! read more

Six members of our family group celebrated a birthday at Jalisco. While the food was quite average, the hospitality was outstanding. Menu prices were moderate and portions huge! Our birthday celebrant received a yummy ice cream sundae dessert in a taco bowl with a lit candle and multiple spoons to share as this dessert was smothered in whipped cream and caramel and chocolate sauces. Even the fried shell drenched with the fillings was delicious. Along with this complementary BD treat, the staff gathered to sing the birthday song; all very festive. Margaritas ordered with our brunch were traditional and also a fresh fruit version. On-street parking was ample at the time we dined and the restaurant was not crowded. Every member of our family group enjoyed the event, the establishment's attention and graciousness and one anothers company. And that's what it's really all about! read more

Just was in Jalisco a few days ago for dinner. Delicious as usual...clean, friendly, food is brought out quickly. Excellent staff.

The food was delicious one of the best Mexican food I ever had it was good I had to hit the faze rug walk

Incredibly rare to have the opportunity to get food that is less authentic than taco bell and ten times the cost! Another blessing of a day to leave a restaurant unsatisfied :) Why someone who isn't afraid of seasoning would ever be a repeat customer here is lost on me. if that describes you, i'm sorry, please love yourself more and have better food than this. read more

The food was great they stuffed me full all the servers were fun and nice the you could say they " hyped me up" overall a great restaurant with fast service and fun times more than five stars like 7 8 or 9 stars maybe even more. read more

Americanized Mexican food. The michelada is delicious though, highly recommend. They have cheap cocktails and beers. Like $7 during happy hour (4pm-7pm). The salsa that comes with the chips are pretty bland and watery. Wish they would go harder on the seasoning and spices. The staff are nice and friendly though. The restaurant is family friendly. read more

Jalisco Mexican Restaurant - Michelada - Mexican Near Me - Seattle, Washington

It used to be good. Not anymore, undercooked food and rude waiter. We will never go there again.

My family's favorite Mexican restaurant in town. Great food. Always Fresh. With consistent friendly faces that always know what we like, the extras we will order and who wants the food take it home and who's going to stay there and eat it. I like that they are especially nice to my parents and that means a lot. Great bar, just the right amount of bite and shake in their margarita. Carne Asada, no better place in Seattle. We will always come back. read more

My husband and I have been grabbing takeout from here for years. Our house is just a block away so it has always been ridiculously convenient, and absolutely delicious. I'll be the first to admit "stay-at-home" mom life is far more difficult than my corporate career, so on the rare occasion we don't have childcare for a period of time I definitely could use a trip out of the house and a margarita. I texted my husband on a Friday afternoon and said "let's go out to Jalisco with the kids. I need a drink." All three of my kids are on the spectrum and can be pretty high maintenance, so he was understandably surprised. We walked with all three kids the few minutes to Jalisco on a Friday evening at 5 PM and were immediately seated. The waitress we had was understanding that we immediately wanted to order for our kids, and spent a lot of time talking to and playing with them while they had the short wait for their food. The manager, who I recognized from grabbing takeout in the past made several trips to the table and made sure all was good, while also engaging my kids, making them laugh and bringing them more chips so I could suck down an adult beverage in peace. At the end the waitress told us we had the best behaved kids she'd ever seen, which made me actually want to hug her. Five peoples dinners, a beer for my husband, two extra large margaritas, and a 30% tip and we were out in under $150. Delicious food, family friendly environment, and the kindest staff on the planet? Looks like this may become a regular trip for us! read more

they will scam you and claim u didn't pay even though u paid and it went through. They are very creepy, the manager told me "he knew my family" even though that was my first time there and when i offered to pay again he said no and preceded to tell me he was going to call me and get me to pay tomorrow even though i offered to pay today. they all couldn't understand what we were all saying and i showed them the receipts that i payed and they claimed i didn't. read more

I am genuinely so shocked and disgusted at my experience here. I have dined here before in the past and enjoyed my experience so I felt like coming again with my family. When I had arrived not only did the food take over 40+ minutes to come out even after only ordering 2 things, our quesadilla was cold and soggy? Who knows how long that was sitting out for and if it's even safe to eat? This was ridiculous and the staff didn't even put any sort of compassion or thought into this situation. After just ordering rice and beans after this incident the pico that came on the side had a long black hair in it. That is so gross and disgusting and not once did anybody bother to say sorry or have any sort of remorse into this. The booths and floor has a weird smell too which completely make this experience worse. I'm just completely flabbergasted at this service and how this place even has customers! Do not eat here if you want clean and sanitary food , accommodated service, and an overall good experience. read more

Friendly family wait staff, crowded friendly bar. Good relaxed place to take in a Seahawk game.

My mom took me here for early dinner after a recommendation she received and it was incredible. The food was absolutely delicious super fresh and piping hot! I had a spicy margarita which was refreshing and strong. My mom had a strawberry margarita which she really enjoyed also- I tried it and it was the perfect balance of slightly sweet but not over the top which is perfect. I had the mixed fajitas with shrimp, chicken and steak which was on top of super delish veggies that included mushrooms. LOVED every bite i could manage and took plenty home for later. The chips and salsa we started with was also great- authentic and fresh. My mom had seafood enchiladas and really enjoyed them also. Not only was the food amazing but the waiter and host were super funny and upbeat and made us feel at home. I wish i could give 10 stars! read more
