The atmosphere hums with the gentle rhythm of conversation and laughter, a place where families, friends, and solo diners alike feel comfortably at home.

The experience at Taqueria Jalisco is rooted in a sincere celebration of Mexican and Latin American flavors crafted with care. The kitchen’s offerings unfold like a well-loved story—each dish carrying its own familiar yet distinctive note. Whether it’s the satisfying tang of freshly made pico de gallo or the subtle complexity behind a perfectly balanced margarita, the menu invites you to explore with each bite and sip.

Delicious food! Best quesadilla I have had in a while. We were a party of 10 and everyone enjoyed their meal. The sauces were good (not spicy enough if you have high tolerance for spice). Service was good. Definitely recommend this place and will be back!

This has become our absolute favorite local restaurant for Mexican food. I’ve lost count of how often I’ve enjoyed dining here with friends and family. It’s perfect for every occasion (date nights, lunch with friends, birthday and graduation celebrations, etc.) and has a warm, family friendly atmosphere. At some other Mexican restaurants, I’ve noticed a tendency for meat to be overcooked. Here, the meat in each dish is tender, full of flavor and cooked to perfection. Prices are reasonable and portion sizes are so generous that I always seem to leave with enough leftovers for a second meal! There are also many gluten-free and dairy-free menu items available for guests with allergy concerns. The staff is incredible; kind, attentive and very knowledgeable on the menu. As a multi-lingual establishment they are able to accommodate both English and Spanish speaking guests (and have been wonderfully patient with non-Spanish speaking guests, children and adults, who wish to practice ordering in Spanish). We know friends who will make the trip from Lexington or Downtown Columbia because the food is that good! This has become our go-to recommendation for Mexican cuisine, both to local and out of town friends. If you’re local to the area and haven’t been here for a meal yet, get ready to discover a hidden gem!

Had lunch yesterday and was delighted with the quick service and portion size for lunch. I ordered eggs and chorizo and wife had lunch fajitas.

I found my new Go-To spot for a delicious Mexican meal, everything was seasoned to perfection and did not stand a chance!

Stopped in for lunch at this spot for the first time. I had the Jalisco Cheese Steak which was delicious. I also had the chicken burrito Jalisco which was very flavorful. The service and the atmosphere was great!
