Three Tacos. From Left to Right: Two carne asada and One spicy pork

The menu is nicely sized and gives a variety of choices. They have classic Mexican food like tacos, burritos and tamales. One of the things that really stands out about El Jacalito is that they also have burgers. They advertise their burgers as the best in town and majority of their reviewers have said they agree.

I enjoyed my visit at El Jacalito as I always will from here on forward. I am a big fan of their food, especially their burgers. I would recommend any college student or any person that is looking for an affordable and quality meal. Better yet, anybody and everybody should at least try the place! Go ahead, Try it!
