Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 Stars Jalisco in Saline has become our go-to restaurant for consistently excellent Mexican food and service. The restaurant maintains clean, welcoming conditions with immaculate tables that immediately put you at ease. The service here is outstanding and remarkably consistent every single visit. The staff is attentive, friendly, and efficient without being rushed. We've never had a bad service experience, which is rare for any restaurant these days. The food portions are generous, particularly the Molcajete meal, which easily serves two or more people. The quality matches the quantity - everything is fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. We appreciate that they carry non-alcoholic Corona, which is a nice touch for those who want the authentic pairing without the alcohol. As someone with food allergies, I've been consistently impressed with their approach to allergen safety. Since they opened, I've had zero allergy issues here. The staff is knowledgeable and transparent about ingredients, and they're genuinely supportive in making sure I can eat safely. They take food allergies seriously without making it feel like an inconvenience. The location near the movie theater makes it perfect for dinner-and-a-movie nights. Even when we're in a rush before a show, the service is always quick and efficient without sacrificing quality. When we know our order ahead of time, we can easily get in and out within 45 minutes with time to spare before our movie starts. It's rare to find a restaurant that can consistently deliver both speed and quality. Jalisco has earned our loyalty through reliable, excellent experiences every time we visit. The combination of great food, outstanding service, cleanliness, and allergen awareness makes it a standout restaurant in Saline. We can always count on them for a satisfying meal, whether we're in a hurry or taking our time. Highly recommended for anyone looking for quality Mexican food with dependable service.

Absolutely amazing! The tacos, tostada, chips and salsa were unbelievable. The beans and rice were the best I've ever had in my life. The owner and staff were extremely welcoming and friendly. Authentic Jalisco atmosphere put it over the top. The dining room and bar were immaculate. We will be back. Would recommend 10/10!

I ordered through Doordash and I am happy that I gave it a try. The quesabirrias and wet chicken burrito were better than I expected. Very flavorful but not overwhelming. Nice portion size for the money. The chips and salsa was even delicious and tasted like they were made from scratch If I'm ever in the area again, I'll definitely order again!

The food is very fresh, the Salsa and chips are excellent. I had the Fajita Chicken Taco Salad and my wife had a beef Taco salad. They tasted amazing. The prices are good. The service was excellent. I highly recommend this Mexican Restaurant as it’s my new favorite.

Nice & fast service I got the chipotle quesadilla which was loaded with sauce, too much for me but good nonetheless, wish it was sliced as well The agua Fresca (tamarind) was good and a great serving The churros were stuffed with caramel, which I did not enjoy Ample parking Not too loud Ideal for date night or a family of 4

I found my new favorite Mexican restaurant. The food is absolutely delicious. The decor is vibrant and exciting. Prices are very reasonable, and the owner is amazing. From the very first moment, he greeted us at the door, and up to the time we left, he made us feel welcomed and part of the family. We were pleasantly surprised when he delivered a complimentary appetizer to our table. We have been back a few times, and we were excited to visit on a night when a strolling Mariachi Band was performing. You might not expect Mariachi entertainment, but you can expect to constantly get great tasting food at this new restaurant in Saline.
