“ I just wanted something close by this evening. I'm newly staying in Magnolia, and didn't want to cook. I'm a guy who can never say no to good tacos. Haha. The atmosphere is authentic. It's warm and relaxing. the drink menu is hard to say no to, and the food tastes great. I ate everything on my plate. I had fajitas for 1. The only thing I'll say is the meat was light. They need to put more chicken and more beef when ordering a mixed plate. The slices of meat are wide. Less beef than chicken. 3 or 4 slices of chicken, and if it was 4 slices of chicken, it was 3 slices of beef. I almost needed 1/3 more meat total and it would be acceptable. Other than that, this spot is hot great selections for appetizers and entrees. If your near Magnolia this spot is worth checking out. ”
“ Loved the place and the food so much I forgot to take any photos I promise next time I go there. Well as you can see not only did I make a second-time visit I also found some favorite dishes If you LOVE shrimp cocktails or ceviche, I highly suggest you try "SHRIMP or Camarones AGUACHILE" for sure... You won't forget the experience nor you will I, which introduced you to it. ”
“ This is by the best Mexican restaurant we’ve ever been to! Our family goes there all the time sometimes a few days out of the week! They are all so friendly and welcoming! When they see my husband and I pull up on our Goldwing they are excited to see us! Even when we have family coming in from out of town they always ask us “hey can we go to y’all’s restaurant lol! We always say well hell yeah!! It’s never too loud in there and it’s nice and calm. The place is always clean and welcoming to everyone that comes in. Thank y’all for all you do for us and always making us feel special and welcome just like family! ”

“ I've been all over the Woodlands looking for a good Mexican restaurant. I quit looking after I found this place. Hands down, this is the best in the area. The QuesaBarilla Tacos are phenomenal, and so are the handmade margaritas. Service is excellent, and it's in a great location. 10/10 would recommend!!!!! ”
“ Our friend Dudley Johnson took Jose and myself to El Jarrito on Hardin rd in Magnolia. Great service from all staff. We had aguachiles aka shrimp ceviche with there spin. It has a a different kick but good. You can cut it up or eat it whole The main dish we all had was the mojarra frita- fried red fish. And we are talking about a WHOLE FISH!!! It was fried well and crispy. It was seasoned well and the fins were crispy To wash it down I had jamaica(hibiscus). This jamaica nit as sweet as most places but who needs that sugar anyway. They have a bar so you could ask for a drink if you want it. Also noticed a small cute patio in front. But overall it was a good experience and the wait staff was amazing! I will return with my mom and whom ever is around. ”
