My Sister & I like to frequent this Mexican Restaurant. They have the BEST pico de gallo (I probably butchered this) that I have found. Their margartias are great too but not for the non-tequilla drinker as they are the real deal. The service is good and food is super fast. They have great tortialla soup too.

This is a yummy little restaurant tucked in downtown Kirkland. They have typical Mexican fare, although the tortilla soup and picco de gallo is the yummiest! The prices are average and the service is good. It is a clean restaurant as well. The bathroom are down some strange little hallway which seems like a mile away from the restaurant, but they too are nice and clean. I will definitely go back!

Kirkland's great, but sometimes you don't want to be in lunch or dinner $25-50. Jalisco on Park Lane gives you all the ambiance of Kirkland's trendy little boulevard, including outdoor dining and people watching - without the high prices you find at the surrounding restaurants. It's food is the standard (American) Mexican restaurant fare, similar to Azteca. It's not better or worse. I've found the service to be very good. If you want to kick it in Kirkland, but don't want to kick yourself when the check comes, check out Jalisco. Pros: Great location and outdoor dining Cons: Food that's good, but not great

Jalisco's on Queen Anne Avenue is, and always has been, superb!! I was expecting the same thing at this Kirkland location. What a surprise to find the margaritas completely lacking in tequila; and we seemed to be bothering the waitress instead of being made to feel special. The food was "ok" but lacked flavor and eye appeal. And, I don't even want to mention the condition, and location, of the rest rooms!! I won't be going back to this particular Jalisco's. Pros: cute location Cons: parking, food, service, cleanliness

I was surprised to see that this is a chain. The dishes are nice, straight forward mexican-ish dishes. I think the food is actually a half step up from the more popular !Cactus that always draws a crowd next store, but it does lack the atmosphere. Still, if you grow tired of waiting for a table at Cactus, this place will still satisfy you Mexican fix. Pros: decent food and never a wait Cons: looks like a bit of a dive in comparison to Cactus next door

We gave Jalisco several tries, because we wanted to find a good Mexican place close to our new house. We usually order the basic enchiladas and tacos and these are tasty. The enchiladas are as slathered in cheese and sauce as any other California-style place. The tacos were OK. We decided the margaritas did not pass muster, they are relatively tasteless, so we will continue our search. Pros: Quick seating, reasonable service, average food Cons: Tasteless margaritas

Seating is self seating and the service is slow, I ordered a tamale and got a meat wrapped in a flour tortilla smothered in sauce. I asked the waitress if this was indeed a corn tamale and she said it was. My date confirmed what I saw was a flour tortilla folded under the sauce, he tasted it and thought it was a flour tortilla and not corn tamale. I expect the menu to be representative of traditional mexican fare. She removed the dish (along with the silverware) Pros: nice ambiance,cozy Cons: Bad slow service

We are repeat customers to this Mexican restaurant and thoroughly enjoy each visit. Each meal starts with warm tortilla chips and 2 salsas. We have had great Carne Asada, Shrimp with Garlic, Chicken & Rice and Margaritas and the wait staff is very attentive. Chili Rellanos not what we're used to, however, every other dish on the menu has been excellent. Pros: Great food and friendly wait staff Cons: None

Jaliscos doesn't seem to really fit in with the 'nouveau' downtown Kirkland theme - my husband and I commented though it must be nice for locals to have just a normal, basic Mexican restaurant. The decor is typical and not really fancy so you no need to dress up! The service was friendly and timely. They bring out salsa and a very interesting cabbage 'pico'. Although the menu says you have to pay for more, we did not. We actually only came here because we were in the area and had a coupon from the Entertainment book (which they honored hassle-free) and were very pleased. I ordered what I believe was called simply Chicken/Pollo Mexicano, which was recommended by our server when I asked what he would recommend between three dishes I was eyeing. I followed his suggestion, and it was SO good I will have to go back for more! This isn't fancy food, fusion, upscale, or whatnot. Its good, reasonably-priced Mexican fare with real flavor.

I like their margaritas. I even like their Pollo a la Crema and their Burritos. But their servie sucks, and badly. Three years ago, it was good. I'm actually there now, using my mobile device, and I am simply apalled at the bad service. This was once one of my favorite weekend hangouts ... it's now towards the bottom of the list. Go for the margaritas if you're in the mood for some, but plan on managing the servers yourself. Pros: margaritas, burritos, pollo a la crema Cons: service, non-americanized food
