Inexpensive, fast, good food. So far we haven't been disappointed. Still haven't tried the breakfast. Maybe next time.

Some of our group wanted Mexican while we were at the beach so we ended up at ElJalisco in Eastpoint, FL. The drinks were good and strong. The salsa and white cheese sauce were some of the best we have ever had. That's where the...good food stopped. We ordered a variety of dinners and none of us were happy. Should have stuck with seafood. We will not be visiting again.More

This Mexican restaurant is our favorite! Their salsa is divine! Their food is delicious (I asked for a pork chimichanga, which wasn’t on the menu but they did not hesitate to meet my request and it was so flavorful!) My husband ordered a Chicken El...Jalisco Bowl and it was generous and delicious. The prices wee right at $11.99 for my Chimichanga Platter with Beans & Rice and $11.00 for his Bowl. Pleasant staff and clean restaurant. Big parking lot to fit all their repeat customers….like us!!More

We found the food at El Jalisco so good that we went twice during our 7-day stay on St. George's Island. We will be back!

El Jalisco in Eastpoint has been our go-to restaurant when staying on St. George Island. We've been going there for over 15 years. Was there with family of 5 on July 30. It was about 5:45 PM and it wasn't crowded at all but there...was another large party of about 12 at another table. We were seated in the way-back. After about 10 our server brought water and said would be back to get our orders. 20 minutes later, we placed our orders with a different server and also requested more water since no one had come around. About 40 minutes later, my son went up front to inquire about our food and water and beverages we ordered. 5 minutes after that, our COLD food was served. I asked the person at front desk when I paid our check why it had taken so long to bring out our food and why was it cold. He said that they were very busy and making drinks for the large party of guests. Guess I need to find another go-to placMore

Really delicious food and very friendly service. I especially liked the eggs with grits as well as the biscuit with sausage gravy. Full bar available.

First time diners here tonight for dinner and were pleasantly surprised by the quality and selection of food! I had the Birria Street Tacos and my wife had the Enchilada trio. Both were very good. Service was just so-so or I would have given this...place a five.More

Yuck😟 Street tacos and fish tacos terrible. Very low quality. Waste of money. They were surprisingly busy so I thought it would be good. St George Cantina was much better and fresher!

Terrific food, great service, and we ordered extra shrimp and they were insanely good. Grilled on a skewer with a light red/oil sauce -- I could eat them for breakfast! Do not miss out on this terrific restaurant. Everything we had was excellent.

The fajitas here are awesome! We were happy to find a restaurant open on Sunday while down at the beach...a rare thing. We weren't looking for Mexican food but this place is fantastic.

Well worth the trip across the bridge, The Shrimp A La Diabla is to die for! Spiced just right, as in caliente... I also had Ceviche, wife had the Burrito Verde, both excellent. Only wish they had a location in Atlanta!

This easy-to-find Mexican restaurant as popular among locals as it is among tourists. We got the food as take out because we were not at all comfortable with the lack of PPE among the staff and customers. Otherwise, the food was well-prepared, packaged to go...and of very good quality.More
