This place is ace. Eat here all the time. Make sure you get the burritos
My partner and I had a very enjoyable meal at Jalisco Mexican! They have a lovely, bright outdoor seating area at the back- perfect for a summers night hangout.
As for food, I highly recommend their prawn tacos. You get 3 pieces of tiger prawn in each taco, and a decent amount of chilli lime mayo coated over the top- super tasty and by far my favourite taco of the night! I was not disappointed by their quesadilla and enchilada either. Those chipotle chicken quesadillas were cooked perfectly and crispy on the outside.
It’s safe to say that I’ll definitely be back for their stellar prawn tacos.
😎 #Introduction
Jalisco is a more traditional recipe mexican restaurant part of the Windsor side of Chapel street. It actually replaced a Taco Bill which was on this premises years ago.
👍 #TheyDoThisWell
We were greeted as we entered and were seated quickly.
There is a wonderful happy atmosphere to the place.
The food is prepared fresh and in a more traditional style than some of the more westernised Mexican restaurants we have in Melbourne.
The staff went out of their way to
fill our order before our movie (it can depend on what is ordered).
This place is licensed and has plenty of seating - indoors, front, and also heaps out the back.
The menu was impressive, easy to read and creative in its layout and options.
🤔 #OpportunityForImprovement
Additional condiments such as hot sauce would be great.
When busy, the staff were observed sticking to the inside of the venue rather than the back. I (and several others) had to walk inside to order or engage with the staff. This included having table water.
There was a mixture of very experienced staff and non experienced staff which led to a variation in service, depending on who you engaged (perhaps because this was January and holiday staff were added).
😎 #Conclusion
This is a fantastic venue, and I recommend anyone (who loves Mexican food) to visit at least twice.
Love the decor and atmosphere at Jalisco. The garden area out the back is a nice chilled place to hang out with friends. Staff were also super friendly and welcoming.
However, I wasn't overly impressed by the food. I ordered the Chipotle Chicken Quesadilla which I found to be a little too plain and not hearty enough for me. My parrtner ordered the Marinated Chicken Fajita which he enjoyed but was nothing special.
For a Chapel Street eatery, the food doesn't exceed expectations in any way however I love the atmosphere and drinks here so would still rate it a solid 4.
Well priced food and a good night out. The Mexican itself it not amazing (but decent) although good fun
I love fish tacos so when I ordered takeaway from here, the fish taco was a must! Was I happy? Satisfied is the better word. It tasted ok, but it didn't wow me. The burrito, though, super awesome! They're not the best looking dish but I was impressed with the size and flavour AND it came with black beans and rice on the side as well! Talk about getting fed the Mexican way. Had both the pulled pork and chicken. Both equally delicious.
Go get a burrito.
A great spot for Mexican and cocktails. Friendly staff, good vibe and a quality feed. The only thing I wouldn't order again was the jalapeno poppers. Everything else pure perfection.
We have been visiting Jalisco for years now, it's our go to spot to grab a bite to eat before our plans on Chapel Street. Fresh, delicious Mexican food with a great Tequila menu, we always leave here happy and satisfied.
Came here sat night , almost fully booked so we sat in the back part. Despite it being outside the heaters kept us warm. We ordered the chicken fajitas , the "mexican fries" and two fish tacos. Everything was beautiful. Can't really fault it. Very reasonably priced too for chapel st. Will be back for sure.
Went there for dinner on Friday night and everything we had was delicious. Try the quasdisales. We were all very full. The staff were very accommodating
Had a great night at Jalisco. Took the family (2 adults & 3 kids), there was something for everyone on the menu. The staff were excellent, super friendly and efficient. Food was great, fresh and delicious, everyone at the table loved their meal. It's now on our list for great Mexican
My favourite Mexican restaurant in chapel. The food, service and atmosphere is absolutely fantastic. Highly recommended the margaritas, tacos and fajitas - Delicious!! Love this place!!!
Had the loveliest time here tonight - it was a cozy environment matched with attentive and super friendly staff. The food and drinks were quick and tasty and our group of four were completely satisfied by the overall dining experience at this excellent Chapel St gem. Can’t wait to return!
Absolutely lovely staff and the strawberry margaritas liter was SO TASTY and really good price.
We didn’t think they’d have room on a Saturday night but they did and thank god! Amazing.
Definitely need to come back and test out the food!
5/5 stars. Excellent, attentive service and the best chips and guac I’ve had in Melbs. Fresh, astounding, served WITHIN a tortilla chip bowl that you can eat after you’ve scraped out it’s innards. Mezcal marg is not to be missed
Great quality food, friendly staff, top shelf tequila.
