Jalisco Cantina

This was my 2^nd time at this place and I was hoping for the same 5 star experience that I had the first time I came here. Last time I was here I gave this place a 5 star rating because of the food and outstanding service. This time I am giving this place a 2 star rating. It would get a 1 star but the shrimp was cooked perfectly like last time. Our server this time was ramon. His service was very poor. I would rate him 2 out of 5. Not very personable at all and took forever to keep getting his attention. We actually started to ask service from a different server who was not even in our section because she was more aware than our own server. My fiancé ordered a michalota but asked for bloody mary mix instead of clamoto. They just poured the bloody mary mix half way and filled the rest with beer. There was no spices or anything. We actually needed to order a second beer so she could finish it because all the bloody mary mix was solid on the bottom and using a second beer would be able to mix it. The food minus my shrimp was a little bland today. Overall the service was awful and that’s why this place gets a lower rating this time. Not sure if I will be back. There are many other restaurants in Vegas that I can drive and give my money to…

! I’m very picky about my rice and beans. I’ve finally found a place that does it just right! Had the ground beef tacos and the beef was seasoned perfectly. So flavorful!

This is now our spot, it is now our third time dinning here and well each time is better and better.
First the chips, beans, and salsa that they bring out to start are amazing!
We usually come with a party of four or more today it was six and we decided it was great the last three times it was now time to bring my mom and dad (very picky mexicans lol)
We ordered 2 Green smothered burritos that were perfectly seasoned and sauced. Asada quesadilla that was so dank I truly tried to finish but was so big I could only get half down. Combo plate with 2 tacos ground beef; 1 hard 1 soft they were I quote «the best seasoned ground beef tacos, I am shocked I liked them so much!». Another combo plate with chili relleno, asada enchilada, and a shrimp soft taco, you just cant go wrong with any of the food we tried. The shrimp was cooked perfectly and seasoned very well. Enchilada with asada we just had to try since they dont usally go hand in hand and were surprisingly good but the asada is still the money ticket. Relleno was great and not soggy like some places… beware this makes for a very hot plate. Lol Our 6 person was smart he knew the portions are big so he got to try everyones.
Over all my family was very happy with the quality of the food and service oh and my Dad said the music is legit too. Oh and my Mom said this place is so much better than all the «LINDO» places around town. Lol We will be back for the delicioso food.
This is a must try spot!!!

Oh my god! My new «go to» Mexican restaurant. Their enchiladas were amazing. I’ve recently had this obsession with enchiladas and their chicken/​shredded beef ones were great. My father and I went here with a groupon and even without it… It would’ve been so cheap! Make sure to check out their «special» menus for to do for deals! Salsa at a Mexican restaurant is a huge factor for me and their (chips and) salsa were so good! Will definitely return. Our male waiter was very friendly and efficient! Great place! Pics to follow.

I’ve dined in, but usually pick up to go. They have my favorite chile relleno in town. They’re big, cheesy, eggy (not too thick), and I think they’ve got some chicken in them, or something, but it’s just tasty. The wet burritos are good, my bff loves the al pastor tacos, ordering over the phone can be weird every once in a while, but we figure it out. Just eat everything.

Yesterday I had lunch here for the second time. I’m not sure why it took me so long to return because I really enjoyed my lunch each time.
My first visit was on a weekday and keeping lunch to an hour was no problem. My second visit was on a Saturday afternoon and service was efficient and friendly on this visit as well.
Since I couldn’t narrow my options I went for a Three Item Combination. My choices were Chile Relleno, Chicken Enchilada, Beef Taquito, and Chicken Taquito. Taquitos count as one choice. I haven’t had a ton of chile rellenos, but this was my favorite so far. The flavor was great and the breading was still crispy. The taquitos were crispy and I liked the cheese on top. The red enchilada sauce was very tasty and the chicken inside was nice and tender. The beans and rice on the side were fairly standard and met my craving.
My husband had the Torta Ahogada. This was served on a large torta bun, stuffed with carnitas, and then smothered in a red sauce. It was a fork and knife torta and my husband enjoyed it.
Pricing on their meals is more than reasonable. It ended up being a bargain for the amount of food. Jalisco’s also offers coupons in the mail, Groupons on occasion, and an offer in the Entertainment Book. If you have one of these offers you’ll find it to be a great deal for good food.
The restaurant seemed clean and had a fairly large dining room with a nice size bar as well. The parking lot is large and offers plenty of parking.

Had the chicken fajitas and were excellent with side of pinto beans and the ice tea was very fresh overall rank it awesome dining experience, Lisa was an amazing server!

I love coming here for the bacon wrapped shrimp and carne asada combo… amazing. Today my family and I came and the service was exceptional, Marissa was our server, super nice, attentive, not overwhelming and kept our drinks full. That happens to be one of my pet peeves. Kudos!

Best service around good cold beer and on Tuesdays there is live music (jazz/​blues). I have nothing bad to say if you enjoy American/​Mexican food this is a great place to eat or stop in the bar and have a cold beer. The staff will remember your name and what you like to drink.

We’ve eaten here before and enjoyed it. Came with a group of 11 people tonight, though, and had truly terrible service. We ordered drinks and when they hadn’t come after 90 minutes, we canceled our order. The food only took a bit more than an hour to arrive.
While we were waiting, a couple members of our party finally went into the kitchen and got some pitchers of water and glasses for us.
This level of service is completely unacceptable.

Food was awesome! Salsa, bean dip, and the shrimp and mango guacamole we addicting! My husband had two margaritas… He has had better but you can’t beat the price! We will be back!

Amazing food. Great service. Everyone is nice and friendly. Our waitress was Janeth very nice and sweet. They didn’t have the ice cream I wanted but she handled it very well. She didn’t bug us like some people do (sometimes over checking on your customers is to much) she was great. Made sure we had drinks. Always smiled. What I loved is even when I spoke English she replied in English I hate when people look at me and think I know Spanish. She was great! Keep up the good job!!!
My second time here and can’t wait till next time

Jalisco has great food, I go here a few times a month and as a regular I get treated pretty well.

First time trying Mexican up in Nevada and I was definitely satisfied! I love that they offer salsa AND bean dip complimentary when you’re waiting for your order!
I ordered the Tamale & my partner ordered a taco salad!
Tamale — Super moist, cheesy, but a bit bland. Green sauce that went with it was okay. Rice & beans were so good! I got the mole sauce with it too, which I was in love with! It was on the sweeter side (:
Taco Salad — Had shredded chicken that was marinated in this awesome sauce!
Both dishes were HUGE and we couldn’t finish it! Super filling for a steal!
It’s located off the strip, but well worth the short drive (: When I visit Vegas again, I’ll def be back!

On Tuesdays they have live music featuring local talented blues musicians. The live music starts at 8 pm and runs until 11 pm. Excellent entertainment!
The food is authentic Mexican food and I am grateful that this restaurant offers both great food and great music.

Taking pictures of food is pretty much second-​nature if you’re an asian girl or an elite Unilocaler. Being both, I realized today that although mexican food tastes great, it is probably the least photogenic. It always looks like a mama bird regurgitated on my plate. Refried beans and melted cheese will never be model material, but it’s what’s on the inside that counts anyway, right? Get in my belly, you ugly plate you.
I ordered the 2-​item combo ($ 9.95). You have your choice of: enchiladas, crispy/​soft tacos, taquitos, or pork tamales. Some meats require an extra $ 1. I chose a chicken enchilada and a beef enchilada. Both were drowning in red sauce. Preferred the chicken over the beef, but even so it was nothing special. My bf got a chicken enchilada too, along with a shrimp soft taco. Shrimp tasted amazingly seasoned! Probably the only thing we both were instant fans of. Forgot to add that yes, they start you right off with complimentary chips with bean dip and salsa.
Everyone was friendly, but service extremely slow. We saw that there were two sets of new trainees and ours didn’t seem to have communication. Two different servers asked us what we wanted to drink and later the same two came up individually asking us what we wanted to order. Our check took awhile to run and then even more time to come back to us.
Tip: There’s a Groupon for $ 12 for $ 20 worth of food, but you can’t order items from their value menu if you do so. Either way, you’re saving about the same amount anyway. Olé!

We have been fans of Jalisco since it was SuperMex, making the trek to the south east side for several years. We are usually armed with an easy to find coupon saving around $ 10 – 13.
Tonight we had the seafood enchiladas and the chimichangas, Uriel had the carne while I had the ground beef. Every thing looked and tasted great as usual. Of course we always eat our fare share of chips and fantastic spicy salsa.
Since it is made fresh daily sometime the jalapenos are a little spicy. The hotter the better.
We have always found the service to be top notch here and rarely have any complaints.

We were pleasantly surprised with how good the food and service was. Definitely try the carnitas or birria beef burritos, they were very meaty and too big to finish. The atmosphere was relaxed yet festive, and definitely not cheesy like some of the other Mexican restaurants with the obnoxiously loud music and overkill décor. If you want a step above the Mexican fast food places but not an overpriced themed restaurant, you should try Jalisco!

Came here 30 mins before it closed and was worried that they were going to rush us, but instead we got the opposite treatment! There service from Omar was outstanding!!! He was very friendly and very personable. I hope we get to see him again next time. The food was amazing! My gf had a house margarita which was very good as well. My friend has the bacon wrapped stuffed shrimp and that was the best shrimp I’ve ever had!!! I highly recommend anyone to try this place. You will leave stuffed and satisfied. If I could give more than 5 stars I would!!!

Wow! If you are any kind of foodie you will love this place. Everything down to the refried beans was incredible. One of the best Mexican restaurants I’ve eaten at. Well done.

Good food, good service, and very clean. Everything was great, from the super nice hostess who greeted us, to our wait person, Janeth, to the food. First was a test of the salsa, this can make, or break, a restaurant for me. Fortunately, the salsa was excellent! Next, a wild mushroom quesadilla for an appetizer. The quesadilla was stuffed with sautéed mushrooms, cheese and grilled onions. It also came with a generous portion of guacamole. I had Tijuana street tacos, with carne asada, they were very flavorful, and the tortillas were fresh. My husband had the shrimp burrito (A La plancha). I could not believe how much shrimp was in the burrito; it was STUFFED with large shrimp. We will definitely make this place one of our regular haunts.

The food was decent. However the service was a little lacking. We had to ask the manager for refills due to not seeing our server much at all. Don’t know if we would go back.

It had been awhile since I had been here to eat, I sat at the bar (YEAY!!) ordered the Chicken and Bacon burrito… OMG It WAS SO FREAKISHLY GOOD!!!
Prices were good, average on the beers.
I am coming back.

I love this place. I’m addicted! I use to go to the other location on Durango all the time. I drive all the way to Summerlin for this food! Service is great and the food is amazing. Never a bad time here.

I dined here with a group of 20 people on Saturday night at 6:30pm. The place was full, and we had to wait about 40 minutes for an earlier group to depart and for them to re-​set up our tables. Once seated, it took a bit of time to get the waters and chips out, but soon they were taking orders and bringing out heaping plates of Mexican goodness.
Bonus points for Christy (I hope I got that name right) who did an excellent job organizing the tables, and getting the food out. She did a nice job handling everything for the group.
The food was delicious, I had the same 2 street tacos I had before and they tasted as good or better. I heard plenty of compliments for the food around the table too, only one person wasn’t too happy with their taco salad.
So my upgraded review adds another star for the great service and good food.

Some gals from work have been here before and wanted all of us to go here for our last lunch before our winter work break. I’m always up for something new. I wanted to try a few different items so I ordered the 2 Item Combo with a Crunchy Chicken Taco and Shredded Beef Enchilada.
The Wait Staff was great, 4 Star just because one order was incorrect and it took a few extra minutes to pay our bills at the end but otherwise awesome.
The free chips, salsa and bean dip were tasty, not «hot» but had good flavor, chips were warm and fresh.
Now on to the meal, the Chicken taco was full of meat, the chicken was flavorful and tender, the taco shell was not greasy, but the red sauce on it tasted like marinara sauce, it threw off the taste of the whole thing and it tasted like I was eating at an Italian restaurant. A couple of the other girls got tacos as well and found it to be strange. I ate some of the shredded beef from the enchilada and it was overly salty. The food over all was edible but if your looking for good Mexican food or Mexican food period, I say skip this place.
Prices were pretty equal to most Mexican restaurants. We ordered ahead of time so we had plenty of time to get there, eat and get back to work in an hour.
I doubt I’d return to Jalisco since there are plenty of better Mexican restaurants in the area.

Food = great. Great selection of classic favorites, beans and salsa while you wait, fast service.
Our waitress was helpful in suggesting her favorite dishes, patient and it was a great experience overall. Lots of room for big parties, or intimate booths for small parties.
Booths are a little squeeze and the only thing I truly don’t like is that in the bar, you can smoke. I will say it doesn’t travel much and take over the restaurant, but I just prefer to be farther away from it.

I love this place!!! The best salsa I have ever had! Food is wonderful! I have been coming here since it was Super Mex. LOVE THIS PLACE! I bring all my friends here.

My husband and I stopped in for lunch and what a pleasant surprise! Honestly, the BEST carnitas I have ever had! So juicy and soft, not crunchy or over-​cooked. We also enjoyed the queso fundido, the molletos and a bowl from the value menu. It’s been a long time since I’ve had good Mexican food and this is very deserving of all 5 stars and then some! Accommodating and attentive wait staff, timely service, clean restaurant, will definitely be going here again!

My husband and I are usually somewhat hesitant about trying new places~ we have our favorites and pretty much stick to them. Jalisco Cantina has certainly become our Mexican food favorite. It’s a quaint, casual restaurant with a separate bar area– traditionally decorated with booths & tables. Staff has always been attentive & courteous.
When we initially started going there they had a small menu but with all the basics. Now they have a very extensive menu serving and abundance of options including breakfast. Since I am such a creature of habit I always get their shrimp & lobster ceviche along their fresh guacamole. I always intend to order other items but by the time I finish indulging in the ceviche I am stuffed! My hubby normally sticks to his beef & cheese enchiladas along with the shredded beef barbacoa taquitos.
The portions are generous and pricing is very reasonable. We’ve never been disappointed or left hungry!

The service was fantastic. We had Marissa as a waitress. She kept our glasses full and was beyond pleasant and patient.. The food was absolutely fantastic. I hate chicken but theirs was so juicy and tender i fell in love. All together there was 4 people in my party and everyone left happy.
The only thing i found weird was they played blues on a Tuesday night. And water was dripping from the ac unit. But they deserve 5 stars!

We have been going here since it was SuperMex. This place is very good and their customer service is always great.
They have a large selection of Mexican food. I love the fried jalapeño and onion appetizer and it’s ONLY 3 DOLLARS!!! Great prices! Also, get the entertainment book, they have five or six two for one coupons for this place. You can’t beat those deals.
Everything we’ve tried has been great. Love their carnitas and carne asada. They also have a very good hot salsa if you ask for it. Beware though, the hot salsa can be pretty hot.
We usually sit at the bar. Omar the bartender is awesome. He has amazing customer service skills and knows how to treat a customer. Can’t say enough good about him.
If you like Mexican food, give this place a try. You’ll probably love it.

The food is edible. When I think of Mexican food, I think of bold spicy flavors, this place is lacking exactly that. I tried substituting flavor with the Tapatio hot sauce that was sitting on the table, however it did not help. I would not eat here again nor will I recommend this place to friends.

The voucher I bought on groupon did not match the restaurant offer. Please don’t advertise false information if you can’t give the deal. The food was terrible I gave it to my dogs and heads up the AC is out this place is old and run down no AC in 100 degree weather wtf ! Hmm gee im glad I didn’t get the shrimp cocktail Buyer beware the waitress never understood anything I asked about why they did not honor the voucher This place is a straight dump.
The food was terrible.

I was really surprised by this place. Came here with a friend who raved about it and wasn’t sure how it would stack up. The service was super quick, friendly and efficient. To start they give you chips, salsa and beans. What an awesome idea. I love dipping chips in my beans with my entrée. They got extra points for that.
Their margaritas looked awesome but sadly I was sick and couldn’t experience one for myself. Will def go back to try one out next time.
For my meal I got the chicken enchiladas and man were they delicious. The red sauce was homemade, chicken was top quality and just enough of everything to melt in my mouth. They were cool about me getting double beans and no rice. Extra points for that. Very nice size portion too-​for 8 bucks I was full.
Overall had an awesome experience here. Great food, great service and I will be back for another amazing experience.

I arrive and ask for a booth, I do realize I’m a party of one in a near empty place (before lunch rush) and was acomodated. I explain beforehand I have a Groupon. I was told what the specials of the day were and I agreed. So far so good, right? WRONG! The seat in the booth tilted, it’s broken, I nearly fell… I asked server to pick a drink for me… she did… but why do you serve top shelf margaritas in a bud light promo glass? Food, well if it wasn’t served with salsa and tortillas, it could pass for a diff. cuisine… it was yummy. Server 5 stars, she did her job (thanks lisa). Management 1 star just
for hiring her!.. (otherwise, should not have hazards in restaurant) Bartender, the drink was awesome… again management… pick new glassware!

I was pleasantly surprised by this place. I had been here a few times when it was Super Mex, but I think they have definitely improved with the name change.
I really liked their chips, salsa & bean dip. We also ordered a quesadilla for an appetizer and it was really good. Although I don’t know how anyone can screw up a quest Dillard’s. :) Unfortunately, I stuffed myself, and then I could barely eat my yummy Mexican Pizza. But not to worry it was equally delicious later that night at home. Next time I definitely want to see if they can make the Mexican Pizza with a corn tortilla instead.
The bf ordered the Tequila Sunrise and he was very happy with it. I tried a bite, but I was already so stuffed. We definitely over ordered.
I also really enjoyed the Margarita. I’m not usually a tequila drinker but it sounded good at the time. Just the right amount of salt on the rim. Delicious!
