This is the real deal. Everything we had was fresh and tasty. Carne asada was great. Guacamole was very fresh(creamy and not loaded with lime juice to keep it from spoiling; it was obviously made fresh mere seconds before hitting the plate). Same for the tortillas. This is not frozen Tex-Mex garbage. Great job!

Great tacos, try pastor, fajita and chicken fajita, they are great. Agua de melon fantastic. If I pass through here again definitely coming back!

Pretty standard Tex-Mex fare. Speak a little Spanish? You’ll probably get a little better service; this is certainly an establishment that caters to the local Latino community. Spanish TV turned on, Mexican candy at the register, this place is authentic for sure. #4 and #6 were good. Great salsa, as well as their jalapeño dip. Not so fast, but the quality was worth the time spent.

Great food – we had great tacos al carbon & excellent carnitas. Corn & flour tortillas were both good & fresh. The portion size was large. The place was older but clean. Great place to practice Espanol!

The food was rather hit or mess the chili can queso so was not good the salsa was chunky and nice. Green sauce burnt my mouth! The taco was excellent the cheese enchilada was excellent everything else was not as spectacular as the reviews make it sound. I was very disappointed after reading the reviews at the food that was served. I had to ask for hot chips. The lady was nice but nothing that stood out. My friend had a burrito he said it was alright my other friend had quesadillas and she raved over them.

My family and I have been going to Jalisco’s for years now and they always provide the best, most authentic Mexican food! Always hot and delicious. This place is the place to be.

I love this place. Good food, excellent service, and fantastic prices. If you go on Sunday mornings they offer a «family sized» Carnitas plate(literally 1lb of carnitas), with a side of refried beans, cilantro and onions. Everything I’ve had on the menu has been great and freshly made. The flautas are nice and crisp, the chilaquiles are tasty, and their green sauce has a nice bite to it. The tacos are awesome too: the tacos al pastor are done just right(not greasy or watery) and the breakfast tacos are freshly made with ample filling. Ask for«Noël», he’s a great waiter and very attentive.

YES!!! I FINALLYFOUNDANAUTHENTICMEXICANRESTAURANTINTEXAS!!! I had to deal with«New Mexican» cuisine for a year and I’ve only encountered«Tex-Mex» upon moving to Texas. Is a little al pastor really that hard to come by? So, when the boyfriend suggested getting Mexican food for dinner, I was VERY skeptical. Others had recommended this place to us, so we figured it was worth a shot. I called to check the restaurants hours, and was greeted in Spanish. «Awesome,» I thought, «This just may be the real deal.» First good sign. When we walked into the restaurant, there were shelves of Mexican candies and treats for sale. Second good sign. We didn’t realize that it’s a «seat yourself» type of joint, so we awkwardly waited at the front until a friendly waitress directed us to a table and brought us menus. When we got seated, homemade tortilla chips(fresh out of the fryer!) and salsa were brought to our table. Homemade and delicious! Third good sign. Our waitress brought us a second basket when we finished our first. Fourth good sign! But, still a skeptic, I ordered the Laddie’s plate, which included 1 crispy taco, 1 enchilada(I got chicken), rice, guacomole, and salad, to sample their basics. If they can do their basics right, they can only move up from there in my book. I IMMEDIATELY regretted my order the moment the boyfriend’s TACOSALCARBON plate came out. O.M.G. I eyes ogled the steaming hot strips of meat tucked in between a wonderfully grilled tortilla — there were three of them. The boyfriend is getting better at mind reading, so he gave me a few pieces of meat to try, and again. O.M.G. it was so delicious. I can’t describe the exact taste, but it was marinated so well. It was not salty, just full of flavor and smokiness. I enjoyed my enchilada and crispy taco, but I knew that I could’ve done better. I am no longer a skeptic of Texan Mexican food as long as I go to Jalisco!

Came here for dinner on a Sunday evening with my girlfriend. This restaurant was recommended to us as the best Mexican restaurant in Lufkin. After eating here, I can’t argue with that. I love the atmosphere in here. It’s extremely simple and not very aesthetically pleasing. But for some reason… it feels like home. One of the patrons played some Mexican music from the jukebox, which made the vibe feel even better. Our friendly server took our order. I ordered the tacos al carbon plate. The food came out pretty quickly, and it was PIPINGHOT! I took a piece of the fajita beef from my taco just to try it out. It was sweet, and seasoned to perfection. Honestly, probably one of the best tasting fajita beef I’ve ever had. This is one of those restaurants that you would travel miles and miles to eat at. I can’t wait to come back soon to try some of their other menu items.

This authentic Mexican restaurant has the best enchiladas I have ever had anywhere. I prefer a mild flavor and this plate had perfect beans, rice and enchiladas for my taste. My husband got the Caldo Jalisco(seafood soup) and my father-in-law got the Charo Beans. Everything was great and the service is friendly and fast. The atmosphere is also very authentic from the Novelas on the TV to the hot pink walls in the ladies room and the freezer of paletas by the cash register. I always make going to Taqueria Jalisco a priority every time we visit Lufkin!
