⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Wonderful service and great food! Eduardo took amazing care of us and had so much patience with our kids, which we truly appreciated. He recommended a plate that was absolutely delicious and very reasonably priced for the generous portion. Everything came out hot and full of flavor. We also loved the ... atmosphere and overall vibe of the restaurant. We’ll definitely be back! Read More
Fantastic Mexican meal right near the falls. Amazing location and it seemed like they are willing to accommodate any group size. Salsa was not my favorite but everything else was great.
Jalisco’s has been a favorite restaurant of my family for more than 25 years - when they say that they are the best Mexican restaurant in Idaho Falls, they are not exaggerating! After growing up in San Diego I can tell you that the decor, tile work, music, and atmosphere makes it feel like you are south of the border, ... and the service is efficient and friendly EVERY time you visit. Typically I’m a taquito or flauta kind of girl, but I was feeling adventurous today and ordered the skirt steak with shrimp in a creamy/spicy diabla sauce filled with sautéed vegetables. Wow, I need to be adventurous more often! If you are craving authentic Mexican food in a family-friendly atmosphere with servers that take great care of you, look no further! Read More
This is the best Mexican restaurant in East Idaho and we've been to all of them. This last visit was especially delicious. Those fajitas came out sizzling. The smell had our group so excited, our waitress forbade us from snatching that skillet out of her hand. It felt like the song "la chona" was being injected into ... my veins. I haven't been able to eat anything since. Nothing compares. 10/10. 3 meat fajita and parrillada is our go to. Read More
We didn't know this place existed. We decided to make a stop at the Idaho Falls Riverwalk. After our sightseeing, we decided on a bite to eat. We were seated immediately. If you go in before 3:00 pm, you can order off the lunch menu. The chips, salsa, and beans were a great start. Keep in mind that if you ask ... for more, they will charge you. It seemed that this was more Sonoran style, I didn't expect flour tortillas with my enchiladas, I expected corn tortillas. The portion sizes were huge, we couldn't finish our meals. Our server was very pleasant. Read More
What a great location directly across from the River Walk! The food was great, the service friendly and the chips bottomless!
The atmosphere was super chill and pleasant, the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, and the food? it was delicious!
Menudo still has the same great taste as Garey location. Service is super slow, but they just opened. Will be back!
