Food: Decent food, missing 'wow' factor

El Jacalito offers dishes that range from okay to fair, with their Shrimp Cocktail and Carnitas Gordita as some of their best. However, the average taste of their food can't salvage the disappointment from the lack of freshness in their Flan presentation. While they are credited for value, the lackluster creativity leaves a lot to be desired.

  • Great Value

    Great deal for weekend buffet with drinks; friendly staff and delicious food.

  • Okay Taste

    Food is described as decent, okay, or fair in a few reviews.

    Vibe: Interior design leaves off-putting impression

    The ambiance at El Jacalito lacks appeal, and the unattractive interior design makes the place look far from inviting. The feeling of dirtiness doesn't do the restaurant any favors. Despite the decent food, the overall vibe might make customers think twice about coming back.

    • Bad Ambiance

      Interior design unattractive, overall feeling restaurant is unappealing and dirty.

    Perks: Parking space hardly adequate

    Parking at El Jacalito proves to be a hassle due to the limited space available in their lot. While the service can be friendly, speed is not their strongest suit, especially during the lunchtime rush. Although neutral, such perks do little to offset the negatives.

    • Okay Service

      Service friendly but not the fastest, especially during lunchtime rush.

    • Hard To Park

      Parking lot is small, suggesting limited available space.
