Jalisco Town Modern Mexican Grill - Gainesville (FL)

4 /5 R. Michael Burns: I got the create-your-own combo with a beef taco, beef burrito, and chicken enchilada (these are the only protein choices on the create-your-own menu) and I definitely liked it, but it tasted a little...basic. Not bad, not even bland, but basic. The ground beef tasted like ground beef -- which is to say, not a lot of other flavor. Ditto the chicken. The sauces were good and I liked the refried beans more than at many Mexican restaurants. My dad had the seafood nachos and really liked them, and the shrimp that came on them were plentiful and very tasty. I also very much liked the skinny margarita. The atmosphere and presentation of the food are both very stylish and modern, so it does feel different from many other Mexican restaurants, including the one it replaced. So, while it wasnt amazing, it was good enough that Ill definitely go back. Oh, and for those who care, the foods not at all spicy -- even my dad could handle it...

5 /5 Marilyn Ryan: Friends introduced us to Jalisco Town last weekend. We are impressed & treated our son to dinner here tonight. Awesome food & service. It’s light , clean. Music is nice not to loud so you can enjoy coversation at your table. Adorable “touch lamps” on each table. My taco chicken salad had 2x’s the chicken as most places! My son got a birra buritto it’s huge. Their street corn is the best we’ve ever had. Last weekend they had the football game on. Our new go to place to relax after a long week or if I dont want to cook! It is yummy we had already eaten a bit of food before I thought of pics. Oops.

5 /5 Denise Rossetti: This was our first time here and we really enjoyed it. Food came out hot and the presentation was nice. I had a chicken tamale and my husband and I both had fajitas which were really tasty. My husband had a house margarita and said he enjoyed it and could really taste the tequila. Churros for desert was just what we wanted and they came on this cute little wagon. Staff was polite and attentive.

4 /5 Lynn Chen: The food was solid but its difficult for me to dislike Mexican food so idk. Portions are pretty large. They gave me a strange species of chimichanga which looked like a bag of marbles. It tasted pretty good? If you get the molcajete, you should flip all the hanging stuff into the bowl to avoid it burning. I ordered the mango juice which was sort of watered down and looks completely different from the picture and also was 1/2 ice with no refills allowed. Im gonna try to ask for no ice if I come back. The payment process felt sort of sinister and evil. They charge you some % extra for paying with card, which they did not disclose. Then, the server stares into your eyes while you choose from 3 tip options: 22%, 25%, or 30% (if I remember right. The largest option is definitely 30%). Why? I picked 25% because it freaked me out.

5 /5 Alyse Lorge: Great experience!! Franco was our server and he was wonderful. Recommended the Birria tacos and they were nothing short of wonderful!!! The beef empanada app was also DELISH. My partner got the fajita texana and she greatly enjoyed them. Will be coming back.
