Friendly service, well lit restaurant with background music played at the perfect level - not too loud and not too quiet, and delicious food. I was happy when the menu handed to me confirmed what other Yelpers had written -- $6.99 for lunch. That isn't for a single a la carte item, that was for lunch! The lunch menu includes several options, all at the same low price. I chose the two cheese enchiladas - one with verde sauce and one with chili con carne sauce. Chili con carne isn't my usual favorite, but today it was!! It was yum. The enchiladas came with beans, rice, and fresh cabbage. Truly an enjoyable meal. I'll be back. read more

Los Jarros Restaurant - Cheese Enchiladas - Mexican Near Me - Arlington, Texas

First time for us at Los Jarros. We decided to have dinner here on a Friday night bout 7pm. There were a few tables of people enjoying their dinner. It is a smaller place and very comfortable. We were greeted with smiles and told to have a seat anywhere. The server brought us chips and salsa and took our drink order. She was so friendly. We ordered the fried whole catfish. It was delicious. It was fried perfectly, not greasy. The fries and refried beans were tasty. Dinner was very good and we enjoyed ourselves. read more

there's no downside to this place, unless you're a fancy person and require nicer interior. But for hungry people, this is the place. been going here for years. food is good. can't beat the prices, either. read more

Very very rude staff and food came out wrong I don't know if it was from me being white or what but I seriously don't recommend this place

I ordered Steak and eggs , Medium. Steak came out well done. it was very tough and did not eat it. $23 for 2 eggs beans and potatos. I will not come back. Honestly , I really wish there was a manager that would have made this right. read more

food was above most restaurant we good to restaurant was clean we will go back Fred and joyce read more

To be honest. I know times are getting tuff but to to be charged a service fee for something that I called in to pick up it's kind of going over board it's not like I can go and prepare the food myself and keep the surface fee. They have to sell it they need a cashier person to punch the buttons and they need to cooked to heat it up or cook my food, so why charge me a service fee for something that I'm picking up and taking with? And for my call in order I called it in over two hours ago, and arrived to pick it up, and they still made me wait and they were not busy read more

This place absolutely blew me out of water. Wasn't expecting the deliciousness. I work near here and got to go. I got the steak quesadilla and it was fantastic! The meat is so well done! I liked the sides and it's the perfect lunch. I one time got the shrimp ceviche and it was fresh and good as well! This place is a hidden gem in Arlington. read more

To all those complaining about the service fee you would pay that almost anywhere. It actually makes more sense here since they are a smaller place and it's harder for them to accommodate large groups. I'll get off my soap box and say this place is amazing. Almost feels like I walked into someone's home to get a good meal with friends. I'll rave on the refried beans best I've had anywhere around! We need more places like this. Support local places that go above and beyond to provide amazing service and amazing food. read more

We had an excellent experience! The lady working was such a hard worker, cleaning and taking care of us really well. The food hit the spot! We wanted carne guisado and we left very happy. I liked the rice. I can't say that for a lot of places, so kuddos to the cook! read more

Being from El Paso, TX. / Cuidad Juarez border, I am used to good Mexican food. It is very hard to find here in the DFW area since the majority is Tex-Mex. We tried Los Jarros for the first time about 3 months ago and now it seems it is our go-to AT LEAST once a week. Great Staff, Great Food and Great Prices. We are going for breakfast for the first time on 11/24 - Lets see if they pass the Huevos Rancheros Test - or maybe the Migas??!! LOL read more

I visited this restaurant recently for their tamales. I've visited several times for the tamales. They advertise Chicken and Pork but sometimes they only have one, so I decided to call ahead of time to see what they had today. I called this restaurant at least 9 times, the phone rang, there was never an answer. I drove to the restaurant, walked to the counter and asked if they had both, the employee said they only had pork. I ordered the pork tamales. While waiting for my order, I noticed that it wasn't too busy inside so I wondered why they didn't answer my call. I called again, while standing there and waiting for my order. I watched an employee see the phone ring, turn off the ringer and set the cordless phone aside. She then went back to playing in her coworkers hair. I called again, and the phone ringer was on silent so no one even acknowledged it. After waiting 25 minutes I received my order. I asked for red sauce and was told, the tamales don't come with red sauce. I have been coming here for YEARS and have always been given red sauce for the tamales. As a customer, I did not feel welcomed in this establishment, it felt as if they did not want me there. I will not return. The customer service has always been lackluster, but today was a new low. Poor customer service is an easy way to lose business. Good luck to anyone who chooses to patronize this establishment. I would give this review 0 stars if I could. read more

Beware go all customers when dining at Los Jarros on Randol Mill. This restaurant charged me for 6 meals at my table and thus charged me automatically a $15.00 tip/gratuity fee. I had signed the receipt and added an additional $10 tip. I asked for my full copy of the receipt for number of meals , drinks, appetizers. I finally say the $15 tip added. I only had 5 persons in my dinner party and requested a refund of the over charged of $15 tip. The waitress gave me the cash back. *** Make sure you look at the full itemized bill before paying*** I have been a customer for over 15 years. read more

If you want the breakfast, that's on the glass window cost $4.99 you had to ask the waiter because it's not in the menu

I've been going here to eat since I was in junior high now I am 30 and I've always loved their food. My favorite dish is their chicken flautas. It's a huge serving and it always hits the spot. During lunchtime they also give you a little bit of frijoles charros and chips and salsa before your meal. And the service is great the ladies working are always kind and attentive. read more

This place really grows on you. It's enjoyable from the first visit, but the more you return the more you love and miss it! Their salsas are so sooooo good, I get extra just to keep in the fridge at home. They have serious depth if flavor, and the verde has serious heat. Omg, it burns so much in the best way! Their chips aren't the greatest, but the salsa makes up for it. My next favorite thing is a toss up between their tamales and their refried beans. They're always consistently the BEST. The beans are super well seasoned and so hot and the perfect consistency. The tamales are moist and velvety and flavorful (try the pork). Hole in the wall, family owned, vibrant little restaurant that's casual and comfortable. Spanish soap operas playing on the TVs. Authentic Mexican candies for sale at the counter. It's colorful comfort food thats totally affordable. read more

Fresh, fast, DELICIOUS food! The staff are friendly and helpful, which is a hard combo to find I enjoyed my lunch! read more

Their food is amazing, I am slightly obsessed with Mexican rice, and they have the best hands down. Their green enchiladas are also very good. Both have a great flavor and we can never finish all our food in one setting. read more

Good Tex Mex. Excellent lunch combos/specials. For special order treat and big appetite order the Parillada for 2. Comes sizzling on big skillet and is a lot of food. The shrimp mushroom enchiladas are awesome and I don't like mushrooms! read more

Great food and friendly service. Several customers seemed to enjoy their meals. It was just a bit past lunchtime but the place was full.

Update - I come here a LOT. It's inexpensive and delicious. If you're a south Texas expat and want what you ate back home, I've been rolling here for about a decade and keep coming back. The chips and salsa are superb. I've ordered extra to go before. If you come late enough, you'll get a cup of free charro beans with your order. Today I felt inspired by the holiday spirit and ordered tamales with a beef tostada, with refried beans and rice. It was fantastic and the portions are enough for a whole meal later. I can't think of anything bad here. This is my favorite Mexican restaurant in the west part of town. A good comparison is Casa Navarro in north Dallas. read more

Went for the menudo because of the pics. I like that they asked if I wanted hominy in it and the portion was good, but it simply didn't have any flavor. I put the regular condiments, onions and oregano and salt, but it wasn't enough. Our breakfast burrito order was incorrect, but once fixed they were OK. I don't see another visit in the cards. read more

Got breakfast tacos this morning and they're so delicious! Super great price too. Happy to have found this spot! We will definitely be going back to try more. read more

Los Jarros Restaurant - Opened up the tacos so you can see all the yumminess happening inside - Mexican Near Me - Arlington, Texas

My first time here so I'm my opinion I would give this dish a six, I guess I expected more flavor. The meat was super tender, the rice was good, the beans lacked flavor and the corn/flour tortillas were just a no for me. The service was okay nothing great and the place was semi clean. read more

Very authentic. I loved everything here. Looking forward to eating here again. Don't let the outside scare you away. It's always the most unsuspecting places that will be the best food you ever had! read more

The food is authentic and the wait staff works hard. the ambience is modest. Nicely priced food and specials are excellent

Service - 2 Stars Food - 4 Stars Nachos a Pastor - 5 Stars What, I've been to this place 3 times in 1 week?!! No, I don't own the place, know anyone who works there, or am I getting any consideration for my obviously feeble attempts to spread the Tex-Mex quasi-religious fervor I have for this tiny restaurant. So, even though I'd had little interaction about this place, except for Lisa P., who still hasn't eaten here, I will have to add the next good candidate to your potential eating pleasure. That would be Nachos A Pastor. Pork laid onto chips with refried beans, cheese, and small scoops of guacomole and sour cream. Simple in concept, but satisfying in consumption. I don't know where my great bean soup went, though. Do they not serve it on weekends? I had brought my future someday-soon son-in-law and my someday soon-to-be-married daughter to show off my Tex-Mex discovery. They're from Austin, which claims to have a few good restaurants of their own, so I was anxious to get their input. Unless they were just being polite, the food passed their good eat test with flying colors. (if your English, you'd spell that word "colours", weird, huh?) There were still some things which are keeping it from that 5 Star status. On this visit it was the much too-thin queso and the pre-occupied, and very young waitress. Nice enough, but a little training would improve her skills, considerably. I promise I'll go somewhere else for awhile to give the rest of you guys a chance to try it for yourselves. Please do. read more

Lately I've been using a platform called Dining Advantage. I was offered a $20 gift card through T-Mobile Tuesdays. (you should definitely check out downloading the T-Mobile app and see what offers are available to you, if you're a subscriber. Normally they give you money off, gift cards or free annual subscriptions to whatever they choose.) Dining Advantage gives you the opportunity to buy coupons for most restaurants here in the community. Prices range from $1-$10, I believe, and gets you decent perks. From there you can take in the coupon or percentage off to the restaurant that you chose and they will redeem the coupon. The coupons that I have bought have been BOGO and I haven't had too many problems using them but for the most part I have mixed feelings. We'll see how that develops as time goes by. Los Jarros had a pretty decent crowd. The menu seemed pretty simple with an optional mariscos menu to accompany. The cheese enchiladas and carne guisada were ordered at my table. While the food was fresh and tasty, definitely not the best... and hardly authentic. The cheese in my enchiladas was still shredded and lacked the melted element. The queso they poured as the enchilada sauce was pretty much the can queso from grocery stores (you know it... red and yellow package wrapping?!) Rice and beans were great but I'd have to question you if you messed those up. Carne Guisada was pretty good. The beef tips were pretty tender and the sauce was seasoned very well (leftovers were even better the next day). Serve those on a tortilla and you'll be happy. They did have loaded fries with fish... sounds and looked pretty interesting read more

I realize I was a little generous with my previous 5 star review (because I was relaxed about the service). But I don't know if they recognized me or what but the service was wayy.. better then other times that I've been here. The waitress was attentive, and a manager (or owner) came by and asked us if we were enjoying our meal. But even with lax service, I still recommend this place. read more

This place was about 3/4 full when we came at lunch the other day. Literally every empty table was dirty though and they didn't really tell you to just take a seat so I wandered aimlessly for a bit looking for the least dirty one to sit at. Kind of a shaky start there. Anyway, we ordered lunch specials which are very reasonably priced. ($5-6 bucks). And they came with a good sized serving of food. My other half thought his carne guisada was pretty decent. The chips were decent. Most of my entree was pretty lackluster though. The tamales weren't good at all. The cheese enchilada wasn't bad, but really it's hard to screw up a cheese enchilada. I did not like the beef fajita taco, the meat was very bland. The rice and beans were ok, I've had worse. Really this place fell right into the beanbag I like to call "commuter restaurants". By that I mean, if you work nearby and you don't want to spend a lot of money on your lunch but are sick of McDonalds, this is not a bad option. They give you a good amount of food for your money and there are at least a few decent options on the menu. But, nothing I had was worth driving out of my way for. In the Arlington area, I think Daddy Buelo's is superior and so I can't see myself coming back here even though it really was "A-OK". read more

Not Bad AT ALL Especially considering the price!!! My Waiter Mayra was kind, hardworking and patient. If you're looking for affordable, comfortable, cleanliness,and good food. Try it out. read more

This place sucks avoid at all cost we waited 10 minutes to be seated once we sat down we asked for a chicken sample to see if it was good and they refuse to provide it and then once we were eating they came and took food away from us and we were not even done and to top it off we mentioned it to the lady at the register and she said if you treat them bad they're going to treat you bad to which that was not the case we were not disrespectful so therefore I wouldn't recommend this place food was not all that great service sucks please don't go there avoid at all cost read more

Last time I was here the food was fantastic so I thought I'd try it again. Believe me I wasn't disappointed. They were already out of chicken tamales so I opted for the pork ones. They were not my first choice but man were they delicious. Now they might become my first choice! This place is awesome! I like the atmosphere and the attentive staff. The pricing is great. Definitely come check this place out! read more
