Was Carla F at El Jacal a mag?
We absolutely love this place! It's conveniently located just down the street from us. My husband ordered the Huevos con Desebrada, while I went for the Huevos Rancheros with red sauce. Both dishes were incredibly delicious and fresh. Our server was extremely friendly and attentive. We will definitely be returning to try more dishes. We believe we have found our new favorite spot in the neighborhood! View all feedback.

What Negative One dislikes about El Jacal:
One of my coworkers received a chicken burrito that tasted like fish and had a fishy smell. We asked for a different item, suspecting cross contamination on the grill or improper meat storage (which they denied). The female owner accused my coworker of eating the entire burrito, which was not true. My coworker only took one bite and then asked me to taste it, confirming the fishy taste and smell. Despite buying that... View all feedback.

Everything is very tasty!!! The red or green chilaquiles are very delicious! I sorted them in the morning every day before starting my classes. I liked the horchatas here. Everything is very authentic and the amount of food for the price is some leftovers for later.
