El Jaliciense

They seem to be a little short staffed so don’t expect super fast service. That being said, I had the Carne Asada and it was by far the best I’ve ever had. The only thing I left on the plate was the tomato. I’m just passing through, but I’d eat here again and again.

This was decent Mexican food in a small town. The service was excellent and priced well. The womens bathroom was clean and nice.

The food is great and reasonably e. The venue is filled with locals. We had Carne Asada and Steak Ranchero. Both are very tasty. It was so good that I forgot to get a picture. If you stay at garden city and are tired of touristy food, come to Montpelier and have some real good food!

Great overall vibes from the friendly host greeting you as you walk in to the eccentric server you can tell El Jaliciense is a genuine family owned and operated restaurant. The chips and salsa is very tasty I’m sure it’s homemade. I ordered the Molcajete with beef and chicken 😋 fresh ingredients with a unique delicious flavor. Also ordered at our table were their enchiladas and steak fajitas. You can tell everyone was pleased with their dinner. Well worth the stop if you’re in the area and hungry.

Beans were SO good and authentic. Mostly an American take on Mexican food, but tasty. We went for dinner and it was super busy. The only open tables were still dirty with beans from the previous guests smeared on the table. (Hence the 4 stars) It was busy and they seemed short staffed. Chile relleno burrito was tasty and not spicy at all. We picked up to go on our way to the beach so the food was good and service was quick that day.
