I love El Jacalito! Best Mexican food in the city hands down.I would recommend to anyone.Get the Gordita as a first timer.You won’t regret it.
The food here is really good authentic Mexican food.The portions are great as are the prices.One of my favorite things to get is the gordita de chicharron con chile I highly recommend it.I’ve tried several dishes and this time I had the huarache de asada and was not disappointed.The food is consistently good.The family that runs the restaurant is also super welcoming and friendly.If you support small local family owned businesses this is definitely one to to try.
