    The Monterrey Chicken

    The food and margaritas were delicious! The servers were AMAZING! The place was nice and clean.

    Everything was excellent during our visit. We were so impressed that we returned the next day to try the soft-serve margaritas again! and it did not disappoint AGAIN! The staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive, and the overall service was outstanding. The restaurant was clean, well-maintained, and had a great atmosphere. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience and will definitely be returning.

    First time here. We frequent George's and Jorge's is owned by same family. First impression was how pretty and bright and clean. Our server (OWEN ) greeted us warmly and was very knowledgeable about the menu. Chips and two types of salsa were fabulous. We ordered lunch specials and they came quickly and hot. We liked it all. The best experience was with our server. I so appreciate good customer service. We will be back soon

    EXCELLENT SERVICE!!! Go COOGS!

    SERVICE IS EXCELLENT!! We had the fried chicken torta based on the server's/bar tender's suggestion...Excellent choice! However, the Chicken Tortilla Soup needs HELP. The CTS came out cold 2x...seriously? Soups should come out steaming. YES, it did taste flavorful and eventually came out at temperature hot. Finally, the third try was a charm! Salsas are both excellent, Red & Green were flavorful although we preferred the mild kick of the red. The homemade tortillas do get an Honorable Mention Pass. I do prefer mine slightly toastier. We'll come again...next time we're in WACO.

    The ambience is nice at Jorge's and the staff was very friendly. The chips and two salsas were pretty good, I much preferred the tomatillo salsa to the darker roasted salsa. The food came out pretty quickly, they forgot my charro beans but my wife gave me the rest of her's, and they were good. We ordered mexican rice but they brought out cilantro lime rice that had a strong mint flavor. It was different, but pretty good. The mains were pretty good, I think they had sat a while as they were not real hot. The restaurant was very clean and nice looking, and the bathroowere too.

    Jorge's has a interesting take on local TexMex. We have dubbed it "WacoMex". After growing up in south Texas with excellent TexMex, we were not thrilled. Their appetizers are good. (Guac, queso, not spicy jalepeno ranch dip). They have alot of menu options. Many are rather inventive. My hubby ordered the custom enchiladas choosing rotisserie chicken and hatch cream sauce. The chicken was bland and there was no kick to the hatch sauce that you would expect. The el gringo tacos are well.... basically a deconstructed cheese hamburger in a corn tortilla then fries piled on top. Not very appetizing. Full disclosure I meant to order the barbacoa tacos so it was quite a surprise when it arrived. Just not really for me. Now the service was great and really friendly. And the restaurant is very nice so they get a star back for service and the ambiance. Would I go back? Humm I think so. I'd like to see them offered a few more traditional TexMex dishes.

    The ribs are a MUST!!

    I absolutely love this place!! The food is incredible, the decor is chic and gorgeous, the Tequila selection is comparable to the Dallas/Austin markets. The service is quick and the pricing is perfect!! This place has quickly become one of my favorite Mexican restaurants!! I recommend you try it!!

    Interior is very nice. Decor in point, service great and food is outstanding. Not Texas Mexican or Fresh Mex. A nice blend of both.

    Passing through heading to Dallas, looked up a Mexican restaurant that could accommodate mine and…read moremy wife's Lenten appetite and saw this place on Yelp. Thought we'd give it a try seeing as it was 10 minutes off I-35. Found the small place and it was exactly what we were looking for! The chips and salsa was super tasty, the half and half tea was on point, and you can't go wrong with a Mexican coke! Ordered the cheese enchiladas plate and the wife got a quesadilla. We were pleasantly satisfied and they hit the spot. Tbh though, the beans and rice won my heart being so flavorful and delicious. The service was superb and I appreciated their thoughtfulness of checking on us to make sure we were doing ok. All in all, we highly recommend you visit them if you're in the area, we got a table quick around 7 pm and it was a quaint epic time! Try it soon and you won't regret!

    We love this local spot and choose it regularly…read more The barbacoa quesadillas for lunch are incredible. I can really only eat half, so I save the rest for later. Their homemade chips are light and crispy, and their salsa is super flavorful while not overly spicy. It hits that happy medium between my husband and me. Breakfast is also great. You go in and pretty much grab a table unless there's a line with people waiting. Service is always friendly and efficient. Prices are fair. Typical mom and pop type interior with a mixture of booth seating and tables with metal chairs. It's always clean. Branch out and try something new. Highly recommend.
