El Jarro Mexican Restaurant Wauseon Ohio — Restaurant in Wauseon

Was greeted and able to sit easily. Our server was great & attentive. The manager stopped over to see if everything was good. It is definitely value for dinner/portions and the restaurant is beautiful! The rustic touches were inviting.

The portions on our meal were great. I only went with 4 stars based on the flavors were all on the mild side. Salsa was very mild, pico de Gallo was made with green bell peppers so no heat, I tasted both my husband's & of course mine. The guacamole was a small side as the hubs doesn't like guacamole, and it had very little flavor. (My best friend's mom was from Mexico and I definitely enjoy a good Tex-Mex to Authentic dinner like Elida H. would make.)

The restaurant team are getting there. All in all. The food, portions, & drinks were good, just a tad too mild for my husband & myself. If I could select 4 1/2 stars I would. Because there were a lot of positives...just needing a little more on the flavor profiles. I know some don't like heat, but there needs to be a little more flavor (lime/cilantro/peppers) to bring this restaurant up to a full 5 stars.

But since the restaurant is fairly new, I do expect there will be some kinks to work on. We will definitely head back as it was good. I am hopeful on our next visit I can...

I came to this restaurant with my family during lunch time. There were about 25 people in our group so we obviously had to make reservations beforehand! When we arrived they were rearranging the tables and chairs in the enclosed patio room. They did this very promptly once we notified our group had arrived. After being seated we were quickly brought our own salsa container and chips to share. There were two to three people that were assisting us, taking our drink and food orders. The staff could have easily been overwhelmed with the size of our group, but they traded to us so well. We were there for maybe an hour and half from start to finish. The waitress Ari was very kind and helpful throughout our time dining here.

The food had very large portions (unfortunately no pictures) but everything was delicious, not just my food but others who I had asked also agreed! The only downside of the experience was the price for a pitcher of margaritas. Maybe I don't order alcoholic beverages often at restaurants, but $30.00 for a pitcher seemed a bit pricey and unexpected. They were not great either, but they did the job.

Overall, I would...

I came here looking to unwind.i never thought I would find a margarita expert. I have never had such a large variety of delicious margaritas. And YES I've spent many years in Mexico. By far the best. And that's not all... a lady named Dana... will great you with open arms and treat you like an old friend. She is the light and sun shine and spark of this place. The food is for sure authentic. But the lady named Dana is the life light of this fine establishment. She is skilled,entertaining and delightful. I actually told her things going on in my life and she was so wise and friendly.....I feel I could tell her anything. When I left .... I felt like I was saying goodbye to my own family.

COME HERE .sit at the bar. Enjoy your evening and with in moments you will realize .... the blessing that life has given you. I would give 100 stars. But only 5 are allowed. THANK YOU DANA .

I will always remember you and cross my fingers (as a traveling man)that I return to have your fine drinks and...
