    Really nice lunch experience. Shared a chicken burrito which was stuffed with yummy beans and rice and pico de gallo (super fresh). Ingredients were tasty. Chips and guacamole delicious. Service efficient and friendly.

    This place has the best Mexican food around. It's a little nicer than a taco shop, but not a great atmosphere. It's very clean and staff are very friendly. They have the best chile rellenos I've ever had, and I love Mexican food. The one frustrating thing is they say they are open until 8 pm, but really you can't order food after 7:30, but that's ok, just go there for lunch.

    Great good at an excellent price. Will definitely be back. The staff was very friendly. We ordered fish tacos and shrimp agave, both were great. The chips and salsa to start were fresh and the chips were warm. Really enjoyed this place.

    My daughter and I went to El Jarro for lunch today. We are not from the area, but we enjoyed it immensely.. I had chicken enchiladas Verdes, which was delicious and my daughter had chicken flautas which she loved. The food was fresh with quality ingredients and yummy. Also, the chips, salsa and guacamole were exceptional very fresh and the chips were thin, crispy Give this place a try you will be glad you did Bon appétit
