Taqueria Jalisco

We had a large party for dinner here around 5:30 on 5/15. We had reserved a table beforehand, so when we arrived, we were immediately seated. The staff were very kind and helpful and kept us swimming in refills, all while keeping track of all our orders. If you like cheese, the queso fundido was fantastic. I even put some on my fajitas, which were also amazing. They were so good that I forgot to snap a photo of them before consuming. The meat was tender and seasoned well, and the corn tortillas were soft and delicious too. Overall we enjoyed an excellent meal and had a good time!

Amazing food, amazing service. This is a must go to for anyone around the area to try out. I had the Patrone plate and its one of the best dishes I have ever had.

Seating was quick, despite the crowd, the service was prompt and very professional. Me and my family loved every bite, and only left with rice and chips in our to-go box.

Nice clean place. Original style Mexican foods, and a few others.

This place takes me right back to the amazing Mexican food I loved in California. Authentic flavors, fresh ingredients, and perfectly cooked dishes. I have been looking for great Mexican food here and I finally found it. You can see why the parking lot is packed!

This is a great authentic Mexican restaurant I found using Google Maps. It is very well liked by the locals. The food here was outstanding. The service was excellent. My server made great menu recommendations. Their salsa is great and they have a large selection of domestic and Mexican beverages. There is plenty of free parking in their large lot.

Awesome Mexican food. If you're looking for great Mexican food for a reasonable price, then look no further. They have a wide selection to pick from. The waitresses are really good and friendly as well. The atmosphere is amazing too. Great place to eat. I'll be back.

Our favorite place to grab margaritas and Tacos. Hector and Angie have a great family restaurant. Thursday is Lotteriria night and is a must if your in the area.

I have been here at least once each time I've come to Lubbock. It has never disappointed. The service is excellent, the food is excellent. This past visit I veered from my normal Mexican food and went with their seafood soup topped with their house made habanero sauce. It was really good! Definitely ordering that again.

Last trip to Lubbock so had to stop in..... The Carne Guisada didn't disappoint. The hubby ordered the chicken, beef, and shrimp fajitas. The seasoning was perfect. The meat was cooked just right....

It was good, needs to add seasonings n salt. Waitress was friendly. Clean Took daugther for birthday n shows u get a meal or drink for birthday but when we got there they said no. So online n phone call said yes but waitress said no

The three of us had lunch here today, a Saturday. Very busy but seated immediately. Chips and salsa ok, nothing special. Order the fajita plate, was delicious. Nice spice on the beef. Enchiladas were chicken and very tasty. Great place, good service. Food arrived quickly.

Excellent food and service. We enjoyed our Carne Asana dish - all reasonably priced. The chips and salsa were tasty.

Jalisco's is one of the many places in Lubbock where you can eat authentic Mexican cuisine. The service is always impeccable from when your host/hostess seats you, to when you're cashing out. It usually pretty loud, but if you get sat in the back room its not too bad. The food is great, I always get the Tejas Plate, it has carne guisada, beans rice, and enchiladas of your choice. Every time we've come, its been perfect, straight down to the horchata.

Five star service from Kaylee, solid 3.5 star food (fresh and plentiful), and five star ability to service big parties, makes this a five star review. Loved all the sauces, good portions, and fresh tortillas, while the waitress took care of everything. We'll be back!

This review is from a visit in January of 2024. A true taste of Guadalajara and possibly the best Mexican food in Lubbock (I've been to Guadalajara and this restaurant would survive there!). Enchiladas, Campechana, Menudo, Argentinian Milanesa, even Salvadorian food like Siete Mares! Made with large portions, fair prices, and massive drinks. Good service and impeccably delicious. Cannot recommend more highly for a legit hole-in-the-wall place in Lubbock. This is one of the best held and longest running secrets in Lubbock, period! Those enchiladas are just SO SO good.

We ordered the Al pastor burrito and Torta, and a barbacoa burrito. Overall the meat was bland, and the portion sizes were on the smaller size. The chips were decent, however the salsas could have used more flavor. I liked the prices were on cheaper side but overall it was okay. The service was quick and the servers were kind.

OVERALL Taqueria Jalisco is probably the best Mexican food in Lubbock, TX. RATING BREAKDOWN Food: 4 | Service: 4 | Ambiance: 4 | Price: 4 PARKING Ample, free private lot. LOCATION/AMBIANCE The main entrance is around the back. I noticed when we walked it that it could have been tidier. There was trash on the floor. There were also beautiful mural paintings & Mexican tiles adorning the walls. THE GRUB We were offered complimentary chips & salsa. The salsa certainly had a kick, but it was no where near my favorite. The chips were a forgettable. I really enjoyed my #4, "plato Mexicano" $13.29. It and my significant other's dish came out soon after we ordered. Like within a couple of minutes it seemed. My meal was a cheese enchilada, a fajita taco, and beans and rice with a salad. It was absolutely delicious! My house margarita was nothing to write home about, just okay. LITTLE YELPER'S CLUBI failed to capture a photo of the kid's menu, but this is a family-friendly restaurant with many children all around is on 6/24/2023. SERVICE Service was fast and friendly. MY FAVORITE PART... My enchilada & fajita taco! NOT SO FAVORITE PART... It all happened so fast from us being greeted, to being seated, to getting our food, to paying. I barely had time to look at the beautiful murals. Not a usual complaint of mine, but my date was someone I actually enjoyed. Lol. TIPS + It's authentic Jalisco-style MEXICAN cuisine, not Tex-Mex! + Breakfast is served daily until 11AM.

If you're looking for a great Mexican Restaurant in Lubbock, this is the spot. My friend and I got the number 9, it was delicious. They have a simple menu with great options, there's a good entree here for everyone. The drinks are good also, I got a Bloody Mary and it was a knock out! Staff is very kind, and the food came out very quick. The atmosphere is pretty standard for a Mexican restaurant, not anything flashy. Would recommend this place to anyone who is looking to eat Mexican in the 806.

Came here after finding the two other places we wanted to try were closed on Sundays. Bringing a child to TT and wanted a great dinner. Boy we sure got it! Our table ordered carne asada tacos, Al pastor tacos, carne en su jugo, Milanese and a paradilla. All the food was thoroughly enjoyed as were the chips and salsa and the margaritas. I ordered the Carne en su Jugo which is steak,bacon, beans, chili verde sauce and avocado... it was absolutely delicious!! The rice and charro beans are so very good. It was nice that this is a Mexican restaurant and not a Tex-Mex restaurant... we will definitely be back

Delicious food. Great service. We tried the chicken fajitas, the birria tacos. Steak tacos and butterfly shrimp.

Just the food I was looking for. Staff are nice. Food is great. Options are not limited. Drinks are plentiful.

Fast service. Friendly staff. Food was awesome. The most tender chicken enchiladas. Real fresh guacamole

Authentic Mexican. Salsa was very spice, I loved it. Had Al-Pastor Shrimp mini tacos. Can also try cocktails!

Very good Mexico Mexican food. Service is attentive. Sports are on all the tvs all are in Spanish. Seating is spacious.

Passing through didn't expect much cause I'm familiar with Tex-Mex not super enthusiastic about it not my favorite. This place was wonderful . Was surprised to see folks having menudo during the week. Good sign. Had the 4 mini tacos with Al pastor and ranchero beans. Beans were a star on their own . Chile ,pork and other things in super fresh beans. Just delicious. The Al pastor was flavorful no gristle just enough fat. Even small bits of pineapple . Really remarkable not coming from a truck. Nice cocktail , vodka lime and soda. Offered to add cucumber . Excellent service . Thanks Taqueria Jalisco

The Best Mexican Food In Lubbock Texas ! And Great Staff! Es muy delicioso! Excellent Wait Staff

On the way in from the airport my Lyft driver told me about this place. I told him I love athletic Mexican food and I spent a lot of time in Mexico. I think I know what I'm talking about since I've been in all parts of Mexico. Iv had street food too nice restaurants. He told me to try this place. First of all the clientele tell me a lot. This is a real Mexican restaurant. The food is great. I had the small Tacos. With beans. This is not a fancy place, but then I wouldn't want it to be. The Ambiance is perfect. If you want a trip to Mexico in Lubbock Tx, this is the place. Enjoy

Fantastic!! Came across them by accident!! It was very busy at lunch time, but we were seated immediately, and the food came out very quickly!! Food was terrific!!

My friends and I hit up taqueria Jalisco every year when we come for a cornhole event. The food is always amazing with friendly staff. The environment is what you would expect from a Mexican restaurant, clean, with good music and a few tv's. I ordered the carnita asada plate with a fresh squeeze lemonade and it did not disappoint! Highly recommend this place!

Food was amazing!! One of the best restaurants in the country! Service was outstanding, you do not need to be bilingual

Great spot for breakfast! Micheladas and coffee were perfection! Huevos rancheros and chicharron plate so tasty! Try their habanero salsa you won't be disappointed. Our server Kalee was so fun and energetic! The ambiance was very welcoming and relaxing!

Always delicious food, served quickly, and great waitstaff Price is excellent as are the frozen margritas!

This place was very popular and accommodates larger groups. Waited about 30 minutes for a table for our group of 8. We ordered too much food, which is easy to do as the portions are large. Service was adequate and patient. Would come again.

Went in on Sunday about 4:30pm. Not very busy yet. The food was great as always but the service was not good at all. Ordered appetizer. It was brought out but the waitress did not take my order. She never came back. I finished appetizer and had to ask hostess to get a waitress to take my order. She took my order and brings out entree and says she will be back with tortillas. She never came back with the tortillas. Just not a good service experience.

An adult and two small children, our ticket was $60. Our server added the table next to us to my ticket. I asked for the itemized ticket and all of sudden my ticket went to $30. The food is very hit and miss on what is good. I used to love to eat there with my family but won't return. The weekends are so busy and you are packed into a very small space waiting for a table.

Sooo delicious! We came for the takeout and stayed for the fun vibe! Delicious tacos and burritos. To go or stay, we love this place and will be back.

After hearing rave accolades about this place, it was incumbent on me to give it a try. There are some unwritten basic protocols in the food service industry, one being that the appearance of the restaurant should appear as tidy, instilling in the customer feelings that the kitchen, too, is clean. Here, the outside is dingy, maybe "rustic" if you're comfortable with euphemisms. The "front" door is at the rear of the place, lodged with heavy wrought iron. You feel like you're getting a tattoo in a rough area. Once inside, the dining room is replete with food all over the floor. I saw no one cleaning it. My table had a tomato slice, onion pieces and ground round mounds that I had to shift with my shoe to the aisle. The menu was genuinely distasteful. After scouring every page, I couldn't find a single photo of anything that was vaguely appetizing. Poor quality pictures of homely food made ordering challenging, why I stayed a late carte. The food was overwhelmingly ordinary. The chicken taco meat had an acceptable taste and came with sparse vegetables and cheese. The enchilada was goopy with hamburger meat and bland. I had to request tabasco sauce. The diners were notably gargantuan, also making one wonder what happens if you consume this diet regularly. With such simple recipes, it's Hard to understand how difficult it is to find captivating genuine Mexican cuisine. I wouldn't recommend this place.

They are always so nice and helpful! A lot of the times they have home made baked goods for sale. Especially around Thanksgiving and Christmas. I love the ease of their water.

We dined for Lunch here today !! Staff was amazing all very kind food was perfect!! This is an awesome place to eat with the family !! Thanks for y'all's dedication!!

The Good is the food is excellent. The atmosphere and the decor are festive. The Bad is the restaurant is mostly packed and you'll have a long wait time. This visit, my wife ordered mixed fajitas because she saw the special on the entry door window. When we got the check, the mixed fajitas were at regular price. My wife went back to check the sign on the window, it was taken down. We asked the waitress, she immediately got the manager or one of the owners. She just blew us off. I really liked this place. It's the people who make you successful in this industry, learn that you need to satisfy each and every customer that enters your establishment. So, you were my 1-2 spot for Mexican food, now you're at the bottom, due to for blowing off a very loyal customer.

Great food, great service. They are a taqueria so they make their own tortillas, corn and flour. The only thing that could have been better were the sopapillas, being just average, but still tastey.

Visited from out of State & I was amazed with the grate tasting food, amazing service, and ambiance of this restaurant. I would definitively come back with in town. Our server was attentive with all of our needs.

Spending a short time in Lubbock and tried this place out for breakfast. Looks to be a favorite of many locals. The wait staff was excellent and helpful. The food was great!!!

Pretty average Mexican food. My wife's enchiladas were not very good. My fajitas were better, but a bit burned. Our server was good. The place was very busy with locals. Always a good sign. I have had much better Mexican food. This was disappointing.

Quick and friendly service. Seated quickly and all food was fresh and hot. Horchata was delicious.

Quick and attentive service! Clean and casual atmosphere. One of many decent places to get Mexican food in Lubbock, Texas! I'm so in between 3 and 4 stars. I'd give them 3.5 stars if I could. I think I had higher expectations after reading these reviews. I personally didn't find the food to be anything spectacular. It was a good meal, not bad. Just not my go to for Mexican here in town! I tried their queso, and an enchilada plate with a taco! Taco meat was on the blander side, but loved the shell! Good enchiladas.

We drove into town to drop off our son and after a 10 hour drive needed some good hot food. It was 11am and when we passed this cute restaurant we knew it would be good because there were a lot of people in the parking lot and we were right! First of all it's very cute inside. The bathrooms were spotless. I like thin chips but they have thick ones which I don't mind much, just not my favorite. The salsa lacked taste and had a lot of cumin in it so that could be better too but again for those who like cumin a lot will be ok. I ordered 2 tacos de chicharon con chile rojo that were seasoned perfectly. The chile wasn't too hot so I had no problem eating them. I also ordered one gordita de chicharon with melted white cheese and that was the bomb also. I always ask the kitchen to grill the gorditas a little one each side so they are a bit crispy and they obliged. My husband ordered the T-bone steak with potatoes all cooked so well he did not add any extra seasoning. My daughter ordered a fajita bowl that I have not seen in any other restaurant that had fajita, green salsa and other veggies. It was served with delicious flour tortillas and she devoured it. I highly recommend this delicious Mexican restaurant!

Best Spanish rice in town; not overpriced; service was great, though you might have to speak a little Spanish.

Quick service, even on a super busy weekend. It was a little loud, but that was the customers doing. Great food and homemade corn tortillas!! What else do you need?!?!?

We have been coming here for the last 4 years when we visit Lubbock. The food is LEGIT! This is authentic and never disappoints. Always busy! No reservations! Plan to arrive early or hang out for your table - totally worth it!

I was recommended to go here with a friend while dropping off a child at TTU. I knew going in from the outside I shouldn't have expectations but the place was really run down and honestly the quality and the taste of the food was not to our liking. The crunchy taco meat was very runny and over all it was not a pleasant experience. But I must say that is was very busy and locals seem to enjoy the food very much. Not somewhere we would go back to again.

We had a party of 11 this Sunday morning. Wait was only about 15 minutes. Our waitress (Alba) handled our table of picky eaters like we were a party of 2. So sweet and friendly and calm. Everything was perfect! Our food for 11 people was out in 20 minutes! The food was so delicious. We will be back often since my granddaughter graduated from Texas Tech and is working in Lubbock. Thank yall so much. We are heading back to Arlington happy and full.

Excellent drinks, atmosphere, and fantastic service! Love the food, always a great time

Super friendly service and good food. Went at 1 pm on Friday with a party of 5 and they steered us in less than 10 min.

Called to place an order and while taking the order I was put on hold only to have no one ever come back on the line. I waited for over 15 min. I guess they didn't want my money. So I went somewhere else and will likely never come to this location for Mexican food. Too bad too because I love Mexican food.

New in Lubbock. Second time eating here. First time really enjoyed the gordita and enchiladas. This time had the chicken and beef fajitas. Not very good. Meat was greasy. Little amount of veg in dish. Mostly green peppers. You didn't get much refried beans and they were served luke warm. The beans were very thin. No love in this dish and left restaurant unsatisfied.
