Jalisco Mexican - Melbourne

This restaurant is excellent. I eat here frequently. Be sure to try the burritos.

My partner and I had a very enjoyable meal at Jalisco Mexican! They have a lovely, bright outdoor seating area at the back- perfect for a summers night hangout. As for food, I highly recommend their prawn tacos. You get 3 pieces of tiger prawn in each taco, and a decent amount of chilli lime mayo coated over the top- super tasty and by far my favourite taco of the night! I was not disappointed by their quesadilla and enchilada either. Those chipotle chicken quesadillas were cooked perfectly and crispy on the outside. It’s safe to say that I’ll definitely be back for their stellar prawn tacos.

#TheyDoThisWell Upon entering, we were warmly greeted and seated promptly. The restaurant has a happy atmosphere and serves fresh, traditional Mexican food, unlike some of the more westernized Mexican restaurants in Melbourne. The staff was accommodating in getting our order to us quickly, especially as we were heading to a movie afterwards. The restaurant is fully licensed with ample indoor and outdoor seating. The menu was impressive, easy to navigate, and offered creative options.

Love the decor and atmosphere at Jalisco. The garden area out the back is a nice chilled place to hang out with friends. Staff were also super friendly and welcoming. <br/ <br/ However, I wasn't overly impressed by the food. I ordered the Chipotle Chicken Quesadilla which I found to be a little too plain and not hearty enough for me. My parrtner ordered the Marinated Chicken Fajita which he enjoyed but was nothing special. <br/ <br/ For a Chapel Street eatery, the food doesn't exceed expectations in any way however I love the atmosphere and drinks here so would still rate it a solid 4.

Reasonably priced food and a fun evening out. The Mexican cuisine itself is not exceptional, but it is decent and enjoyable.
