Review of Jalisco Cocina Mexicana & Tequila Bar in Glen Cove

After trying the trending taquerias around me, I need an authentic Mexican restaurant. This led me to Jalisco Cocina Mexicana & Tequila Bar in Glen Cove. This vibrant eatery offers a delightful blend of traditional Mexican dishes and a lively atmosphere that makes every visit memorable.

Food Quality and Variety

Jalisco excels in delivering high-quality, flavorful traditional dishes. Their menu features a wide range of options, from classic favorites like tacos (including my favorite hardshell tacos and probably culturally wrong) and enchiladas to unique offerings like their Mexican Faldita and Fajitas.

The Mexican Faldita consists of skirt steak in a spice sauce with rice and beans and I gobbled it up so quickly. It was just so good. The Fajitas were the next level as well. What made them so good was the chicken. Normally, in fajitas dish the chicken may be on the burnt side but here they were just so flavorful

The standout dish for many is the homemade fresh guacamole.

My favorite dish by far was the empanadas with shrimp sauce. We were surprised that they served potato empanadas which were ok. The best part was the shrimp sauce. In fact, if we could we would only order the shrimp sauce because it was that good. 

The portions are generous, ensuring you leave satisfied.

Atmosphere and Service

We enjoyed the warm and inviting atmosphere, with a casual, friendly vibe that makes you feel right at home. The staff is attentive and welcoming, always ready to make recommendations and ensure a pleasant dining experience. The tequila bar adds a fun twist, offering a variety of well-crafted cocktails to complement your meal.

Customer Experience

Overall, the customer experience at Jalisco is top-notch. We loved the quick service, friendly staff, and the cozy ambiance.

Conclusion

Whether you are a fan of traditional dishes or looking to try something new, Jalisco has something for everyone. It is a must-visit spot for anyone in the area craving a taste of Mexico. We give it the thumbs up and say forget the trendy taquerias and stay with the traditional Mexican.
