They were very accommodating and got us a table on a Friday night within a few minutes. The chips were good but was hoping for good homemade warm chips. Our server was friendly but needed a little reminding to check the drinks. I had the chorizo and eggs plate for dinner. I enjoyed it and would have liked a little more seasoning but it was good. Overall I wouldn't hesitate to come back here. Very friendly, good food and reasonable prices.

I am writing this review regarding both the food quality and, more importantly, the manner in…read morewhich I was treated when I attempted to provide legitimate feedback. I traveled from Austin to Bandera for an appt.and chose El Jacalito based on its positive reviews. I ordered chicken enchiladas with rice, beans, and sweet tea. After one bite, I found the enchiladas excessively soggy and the beans unappetizing and lacking flavor. The chips were satisfactory. Because I could not reasonably eat the meal, I went to the register and advised the employee that I would pay for the tea but would not be eating the food. Rather than receiving a professional response, another employee became involved and made a dismissive remark to me, stating, "Well, good luck with that." Shortly afterward, the cook/owner came from the kitchen and confronted me in an elevated and confrontational manner, demanding to know what was wrong with the food. When I attempted to calmly explain my concerns, I was interrupted and told, "I've served ALL THESE CUSTOMERS and YOU are the only one complaining." I found the yelling, dismissive comments, and confrontational behavior completely inappropriate. A customer should be able to express dissatisfaction with a meal without being publicly challenged, belittled, or made to feel intimidated. I am not giving a negative review simply because I disliked a meal. Taste is subjective. My concern is the business's handling of a legitimate customer complaint and the lack of professional customer service demonstrated during the interaction. 0/5 for food. 0/5 for customer service. 5/5 for giving me a story to tell.

Ambiance--Restaurant itself seemed fairly clean. I know it's a fairly new building. But unless it's nasty inside, it's usually low on the totem pole of what I'm concerned about. Only negative I can say is that it's a good commute from my home.

I dined in on two different occasions in the same week. Both around the same time of 7PM…read more The first visit, I was sat at a high top near the bar. My server was very sweet and attentive. She made sure that my drink was filled and that I had everything I needed to enjoy my meal. That evening, I tried the Huerfanitos and Ceviche Blanco Snapper (DELICIOUS, will order again!!) I was very satisfied with my service that I decided to return the following evening... Now this evening, I believe there was a soccer game on. We were quoted 50 minutes to sit inside or immediate seating outside. Upon sitting, we were quickly greeted and brought waters. After that, we experienced such slow service. I understand that it was busy, but I hardly saw my server. We had to wait about 20-30 minutes to place a drink order (we got the frozen margaritas, very tasty and strong.) and we also placed our food order at the same time. We had to ask another server to help us a couple times as our server had not checked on us... Very dissatisfied with the service this last time, but I understood that the server had tables all over the restaurant and then later told us that they had call outs and were short staffed... Overall--I enjoy the food, margaritas, and the vibe of the restaurant. I'd like to return to try more entrees and hopefully the service will be just as good as my first time here!
