El Jalisciense Restaurante — Restaurant in La Fortuna

We had a wonderful experience at El Jalisciense. There were not many reviews that we could find, because the restaurant is fairly new. The owners were very friendly and made some recommendations for us. They provided us with some homemade tortilla chips and refried bean dip, which were very tasty. I asked for some hot sauce, and two homemade hot sauces were provided, which were amazing. I had a Jalisco burrito, and my wife and daughter shared the Alambre tacos.

My wife and daughter enjoyed the tacos with homemade pico de gallo, they were fresh and flavorful. There was ample parking outside. Not only was the atmosphere, service and food tot-notch, but it was very affordable as well. The best food I have had...

We ordered takeout from El Jalisciense 2 weeks ago, after first having a few beers and some homemade bean and guacamole dips in the restaurant. First, the cook and staff were so awesome - asking what they could make for us and improvising on our appetizers gleefully. They then made a special effort to give us an assortment of tacos and sauces to go with them. The place is one of laughter, comradery and good will. The food was all outstanding and a pleasure to enjoy. The prices were also so much better than the high-end restaurants that are everywhere in La Fortuna. For a real local experience with great food, we absolutely recommend EL...
