El Jacalito

Food was okay but they've got problems with only one person serving tables, looks like a struggle but I don't wish them bad. Oct 2025

Food is unfortunately fantastic. Service sucks. Both servers were rude. And I was unable to eat in restaurant due to them not having spoons. I was offered a disposable spoon and a serving spoon, both of which were disrespectful to me. For how expensive everything is on the menu there is zero excuse to nor have appropriate cutlery.

Sundays they close at 3pm. The food was real good. I had the beef fajita. Comes with five tortillas. Hardly any cheese though. I wish their "chips and salsa" chips were warm. They sell Pepsi. The chimichango could have had more spice but it was good. Tacos were real good.. There's not enough seating for sure. It was packed. So the service was slower. If in the area. Please try it. It's worth it.

We had an absolutely awesome experience at El Jacalito in Sterling! The tacos were outstanding—my wife and I tried a variety, including chicken, steak, and al pastor, all topped with fresh cilantro and onion. The salsa, especially with a squeeze of lime, elevated the flavors to another level. The quality of the ingredients was exceptional, and everything tasted incredibly fresh and flavorful. We'll definitely be returning for more of their delicious offerings! Highly recommend!

Food was very good. It was my first time there so I got a wide variety of items. Everything was good. The tamales were good, but nothing special. I was expecting a little more in the tamales. They were just so so average at best. Chips and dip were dynamite
