Had Reservations. Jacala's had to set up tables for 20 plus. The food would of been good but it was cold. Service was at best poor. At first we had one waiter. He took the first drink order and did not return for 30 minutes. Then another waiter for the food order that took over 30 minutes to order. Then if anyone wanted a refill or another drink they had to wait at least 30 minutes. Then the food arrived after an hour and the waiter had no clue what had been ordered. This was over 2 1/2 hours. Then the checks arrived. What a... read more

They have so many things in here worth going in here for. This is a perfect place for a small party. They pretty much have everything that you may need if you want Mexican.

Nothing special - Terrible service – This USED TO BE a family favorite restaurant for years but the food is now just "EH". Jacala's has ordinary everyday Mexican food you can get at any of the 100s of other Mexican restaurants in this city. The margaritas are so-so & overpriced. We had a large group for dinner - as it's a favorite place for the guest of honor but I hope I never have to go back there again. What made the experience worse was our server was really bad or just totally inexperienced. So much so that it necessita... read more

Rude and Very Unprofessional On The Phone – Hi: My Husband just returned from Iraq. He wanted some good Tex Mex. Looked to City Search as we normally do. Found Jacala's phone number called to ask questions about menu and pricing. Lady who answered the phone around 4:15PM or so, was rude and not very friendly. We had the phone on speaker so that we could both deside on what we wanted to eat. I can hear my husband being so very nice to a not so very pleasant person on the phone at Jacala. My husband stated that he was just get... read more
