El Jarrito Mexican Grill - Ruston

Javy Special enough food to feed at lest 3 people. Steak, chicken, shrimp, vegetables awesome! Take the ribs off the entree, not good.

Service mediocre at best. Food decent but for the price I expected better though presentation was great your food should follow. I ordered the ribeye medium rare came well done. Once a party showed up we never saw our waiter again and we saw him twice. Notthe worst it was good but for the price your money could be better spent elsewhere

We also ordered food, but unfortunately, it was quite disappointing. I absolutely love Mexican cuisine and have frequented many Mexican restaurants, but this one was by far the worst I've experienced. To make matters worse, at the end of our meal, Ciara mentioned that the margarita special applied per person. I was taken aback because she hadn’t mentioned that initially; since my mom was on my ticket, that counted as my second drink. After that, she spoke to the manager, who attempted to explain the situation but ended up mentioning that there would be a charge for plastic utensils. I was confused, but then he clarified that there wouldn't be a charge after all. When Ciara brought out the bill, she didn’t ask if we wanted it together or separate, which added to the confusion. I also noticed a service fee on the bill. When I asked about it, she said it was for using a credit card; however, this too hadn’t been mentioned before, and how did she know we were using a credit card in the first place? To top it all off, she mentioned that she had been a server there for two years, but I’m not sure what significance that had to our experience. Overall, the customer service was poor, and the food didn’t meet my expectations at all. I definitely won’t be returning!

The salsa was delicious, but the service was somewhat slow due to several large groups coming in after church. The group next to us had at least 20 people and they were so noisy that we could barely hear ourselves talk. The food was decent, though a bit overpriced.

The chips and salsa were quite enjoyable and notably better than average for the area. I ordered the Steak Street Tacos, and they were outstanding. The steak was flavorful and tender, which is not common in many Mexican restaurants. It seemed like steak is one of their specialties, based on the menu. Would I return? Absolutely! I'm looking forward to bringing my wife to see what she thinks, as we both love Mexican food.
