Escape the stresses of everyday work life by having a puffy taco and a margarita with your friends. The exotic ambiance of Jacala Mexican Restaurant invites you to relax. Wooden floors and ceilings provide a rustic, antique look. Plants surround the room as if you were in an outdoor paradise. A large patio outside inspires fond memories of warm summer nights. If you love spicy food, try the Chile Relleno Dinner. You will have a large, stuffed Poblano Pepper with picadillo, salsa ranchera, guacamole salad and beans and rice. If traditional Mexican cuisine is more up your alley, try the carne guisada or the famous Jacala Dinner (cheese enchiladas, beef puffy taco, chile con queso and rice and beans). Salads, sandwiches, tacos, enchilada plates and short orders supplement the dinner plates. Don't forget to try their Original ORO margarita (Cuervo 1800 and Cointreau on the rocks) and the Sangria Swirl (frozen margarita with a little Yago Sangria).
