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

Best Tex-Mex EVER!! – I grew up in San Antonio and throughout my lifetime have lived all over the world; but when I come home to Texas I have to have my Jacala. Jacala has been in business since 1949 and their food and service has ALWAYS been consistently great!! You will not find a better plate of Tex-Mex anywhere in the world. I assure you!! I'm living in the virgin islands but will be home in a couple of weeks and Jacala will be my first stop. LOVE YOU JACALA FAMILY!! Keep doing what your doing.....it has worked for over ... read more

San Antonio's Best Mexican Restaurant – My husband and I ate at Jacala over the Christmas holidays and discovered our favorite mexican restaurant in town! We have already been back for another dose of their tasty enchiladas. We learned on our first visit the restaurant has been in business for over 60 years and is the oldest family owned mexican restaurant in San Antonio. When we entered, we were immediately greeted by one of the owners and she promptly seated us. We started off with a round of their house margaritas and som... read more

STAY AWAY!! Owners are Rude and Very Unprofessional – We had our Wedding Reception at this restaurant. Things were rocky from the beginning and kept getting different responses to our questions. We treated all our guests to dinner and after paying the bill, I realized that we were not credited for our $50 dep!! Then i realized that we were over-charged by $122!! I was upset, but had to wait til Monday because ONE of the owners graciously left word with the Hostess to KEEP our deposit and NEVER had the decency to come speak w... read more
