Taqueria Jalisco Mexican Restaurant — Restaurant in Surrey

Very Salty, flavorless, Super Expensive, small portions, rude and careless waitress, meat too chewy, chicken to dry.

Had Molcajete el jalisco (barria soup) and Bistek a la Mexi(Mexican steak)which was traded to the chicken n rice plate. The soup was extremely salty, so salt I wanted to send it back. The meat pieces in the soup were over boiled and bland that didnt matter though cause the soup was super salty. The bistek was so chewy it felt like I was chewing on a tire. I asked to get it switch to a cut less cooked like medium rare instead of overly well done. The waitress told me she was going to charge me double for that? I mentioned that it wasn't my fault the meat was super chewy to the point of having to spit it out like a piece of gum. She than sent me the Mangager who asked if I wanted to change it to chicken. I said in order for me to enjoy my meal seemed like I didn't have a chose. So my final conclusion is this, their barria salt soup has over cooked meat that is fllavorless due to the salt. The steak is tough as hell. Their chicken is dry dry dry. No flavor. The tortillas came half raw not even soft enough to roll but hard enough to break and crack. When I was going go pay I asked for my bill, the cashier quickly punched in her price and wanted me to pay the bill first, when I said I wanted the bill before I paid she was bother and asked me if I wanted the bill before I paid. I said yes. She tried to make me pay for the steak I returned and exchanged for the chicken and try telling me I had to pay for it. She than went to the back and knocked of $3 of my bill. She should have done so when they traded me the over cooked tough steak to an overly dry chicken. And to add insult to injury I was charged $2 for a take away plate. I asked why she didn't tell me it was a $2 charge for a disposable plate she said "everyone does this and they all charge $2". Extremely disappointed. Every second, every bite, the poor attitude waitress who was trying to scam me, which she did at the end. If I can suggestion a Taqueria place it would be Taqueria Playa Tropical in New westminster. For $60 I would have been happy and had more to eat and friendly waitresses. To the manager of this place, sorry but maybe I came on a bad day and all ur cook forgot how to cook and your waitress is either really rude or...

food amazing I worked in the industry for 20 years You guys got great taco

However my server was really not great. She had a big table with her and the bartender we're showing attention to

She didn't check on me once. Probably because I had been camping and my clothes weren't decent. She didn't check on my table once. She also took away my menu without asking

So I ordered the tacos and I left. Before I left I let her know that you should never prioritize tables like that. She had a couple other tables too which you know that got attention but not me. I'm the cheap guy that just ordered a taco

Little did she know that if she didn't take away my menu so quickly I had a couple hundred dollars in my pocket

And I was actually gonna order like four different things because I was really hungry

Also I'm a used to be a chef and I can recognize poor service and somebody that doesn't actually care about the people more about her pocketbook

Try to show attention to your tables All of them not just the ones that you think are going to give you the biggest tips

I know what you did. You made excuses

But what you did was wrong

And you ruined my night I wanted to get some good Mexican food because you guys have good reviews review

But then you stiffed me because you...

What an absolute “gem” of a place. If by gem you mean a hole in the wall that serves food I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy. The beef tacos? Imagine jerky that went bad, sprinkled with way too much salt, and somehow still managed to taste worse than it sounds. Incredible achievement.

To really complete our dining “experience,” we also ordered chicken enchiladas, guacamole, a beef burrito, and a drink. The enchiladas were forgettable, the guac tasted like it came straight out of a tub, the burrito was a sad mess, and the drink? Let’s just say it was like someone mixed random liquids together in the dark and thought, “Yep, that’s good enough.” It wasn’t.

Service? Oh, that was a whole show on its own. No cutlery, no water until we begged multiple times, and when it finally arrived, it was warm water in flimsy plastic cups yikes. And yes, it only took an hour to get all this “quality.”

With over 2K glowing reviews, I can only assume people are either rating the place ironically or there’s a small army of bots working overtime, because there’s no way this food is actually winning over real taste buds.

One star is generous. Zero stars if I...
