Jalisco Cafe has reopened under new management and name, Rocko's family Restaurant. The food was excellent, authentic Mexican food with great atmosphere/classic Mexican Cafe with vibrant colors and music. The staff was friendly, smiling and fast servers.

The best Chile relenos hands down! We have been coming here for years! Even my uncles favorite place was from Orange County. He said I am taking you to the best little Mexican restaurant ever. I was not surprised he picked our ole time favorite. They fixed up the place and boy was it busy on Easter!

I grew up coming to this restaurant and I'm so so happy someone brought this place back to life. Food was great my carne asada omelette was packed with asada and was just delicious. My son had pancakes and just as huge as I remember them and very tasty. The chorizo and eggs big was also very good and all plates were very well portioned. Service was good waitresses were very attentive to our needs checked in with us often to see if we needed anything. Place itself has been completely remodeled very nice modern day look to it. What I loved that the owner did was the cover of the menu has the man on the horse well that exact painting used to be on the wall inside the dining area. The fact that they found a way to incorporate it to there new look was amazing.

This cute little restaurant nestled inside an old house. Came in for lunch and there was only one other table. Took a few to get us seated. As soon as we sat down a girl came out and started cleaning the floor with some of the strongest cleaning solution ever. It was sooo stanky. The food was really good but the overpower of the cleaning solution put a slight damper on our dining experience. Everything was really really good!

Really Good & Authentic - Haven't been here in years, was so excited to come fulfill my cravings back home. Too bad it's storming this weekend, not sure if that's why only the main dining area was open? But, our food was great and we left super stuffed!
