“ Finally!!! I found a taco spot that does 1.25 taco Tuesdays (ground beef, lettuce, cheese) These tacos are fresh and taste so good! Will definitely be coming back ”
“ Excellent food. Had the Mole Poblano and it was excellent. Some of the best mole sauce I've had. Wife had taquitos and they were also excellent. 16 Oz Modelo Especial on tap was only 4 bucks. We'll be back. Update several visits later - still an amazing meal every time for a crazy low price. The chili relleno is phenomenal. ”
“ El Jarocho was great! Though small and next to a gas station/convenience store, the restaurant serves delicious food (and it's a bargain to boot!) All employees were friendly and helpful. They served salsa and chips plus a bean dip on arrival. They also had my favorite beer, Negra Modelo! I highly recommend the enchiladas verdes de pollo (photo attached). Yum! ”
“ Very welcoming. Food was good. Sanitation rating is a 96.5. Prices are reasonable and food was great. A lot of options. They also offer bean and cheese dip for free with your chips. ”
“ Great stop! Great food, portions, quick & friendly service, good prices and very clean. I really enjoyed our overall experience. I will be back the next time I’m in the area. I highly recommend trying their hot salsas... peanut and green avocado salsas were delicious ( if that’s your thing). They had 4.7 rating and I honestly say that’s a solid rating for this great little restaurant. They were celebrating their 4th anniversary of business and the bonus cupcake at the end was delicious. These guys know what they are doing and will have many more business anniversaries ”
“ This restaurant is really good. Food it’s fresh, prices are reasonable, friendly staff and clean atmosphere. Desserts are delicious. I truly recommend to stop and give it a try. I notice they have drive thru which is a plus in case you don’t want to dine in. We definitely will come back ”
“ The staff was really nice and goes out of the way to make sure you have what you want. The cocktails were great and the food was amazing. The street corn was delicious and worth the trip just for that! It’s a casual atmosphere and their booths are soft and comfortable ( yes, odd to add in a review but some of the places I have been to have horrible booths either torn or hard) prices were good too. ”
“ We were looking for a stop on our way home to Ohio. So happy we picked here! The bean dip stuff they give you with the chips is so good. My husband said the salsa was delicious. The fried ice cream is to die for! I wish I hadn't asked my husband to share one before we ordered because after one I bite I wanted to eat the whole thing lol. ”
