Sundays they close at 3pm. The food was real good. I had the beef fajita. Comes with five tortillas. Hardly any cheese though. I wish their “chips and salsa” chips were warm. They sell Pepsi.

This place would get 5 stars if they had more waitresses. The place was packed for dinner and that’s a good sign. My chicken enchiladas were tasty and made fresh. Rice and beans were good, but not exceptional. It’s too bad they were out of avocados because I really wanted some guacamole. I’ll be back to try more. Also, very fairly priced food. My dinner with two beers was $20.03.

They charge you an extra 3.99% if you use a credit or debit card. They have an ATM in the building if you are so inclined. Food was pretty good. I’d say average for the area. The chips were terrific.

We met friends for a midweek dinner at El Jacalito the parking is plentiful however there was no handicap parking that I saw. The restaurant was handicap accessible from the door to the restrooms. There was a whole row of slot machines that appeared to be covid safe with plenty of space and plexiglass between the machines. The tables were all spaced pretty far apart to also be covid safe.

If I could give 0 stars I would. My whole order was messed up. We asked for NO tomatoes and they out tomatoes all over. I asked for flour shells and I got corn. I also stated no white crumble cheese and it was all over. I can’t stomach that cheese. And I wasn’t able to eat anything. Needless to say I wasted $30.
