El jalisquillo — Restaurant in Piedras Negras

@conniesreviews This spot did not disappoint. A lot of reviews mentioned it always being packed and there being a wait, however there was no wait when we went and plenty of open tables so it probably just depends on when you stop by. We walked in, group of 5 and we're seated immediately with no wait. We were there at the peak of dinnertime on a Monday. It's probably busier on weekends. It was a little difficult to find parking in the area and we ended up parking just a couple blocks away and walking down. But, if we had to wait, it would have been worth it for us. All the dishes were good. We had several different items and everything was great. The salsas were all spicy which we really appreciated. Even though our food took a bit of time to come out, our waiter was very attentive and kept us informed. He mentioned that they were short staffed that day and apologized for any delays but we hardly felt the longer wait. The drinks were also good. My kids loved the fresh made lemonade that we got by the pitcher. The restaurant decor was nice and it wasn't too loud or crowded. If we're ever in the area again we will definitely come again....

I cannot understand how this place dares to call its food "Mexican." It is a far cry from what I expect. The salsa was nothing more than diluted ketchup, the tortillas were tough, and the meat was dry and completely lacking in flavor. Do yourself a favor and avoid this establishment.

This was, without a doubt, the worst dining experience I’ve encountered in years. After being seated, we were ignored for an unacceptable amount of time. Other tables that arrived after us were promptly served drinks and appetizers while we were left with empty glasses. When we finally managed to flag someone down to place our order, the food took an absurdly long time to arrive, and it was mediocre at best. To top it all off, we waited an eternity for the check. It’s clear that this place is either severely understaffed or grossly disorganized. I will not be returning, and I strongly insist that anyone who values their time and sanity stay away from...

The place has eye catching decorations, but the food it self was not good at all... We had pozole , enchiladas, sopes and a side of rice for my 2 yr old. Well everything here is overated and over priced, starting with the rice. The rice was a very, like very small portion and they charged us 45 pesos 😱 Also we waited over 20 minutes for the waiter to check us out, we kept telling them we were ready , yet still had to wait over 20 mins😒 Needless to say I won't be going back...
