3.0 of 5 stars. I agree with everyone that this is a very busy place. It has a party like atmosphere. Great place to go for good /cheap mexican food especially if you have hungry "bottomless pit" teenagers. Our food...

Can't get past the fajitas!

El Jarrito in Katy, Tx. has the best fajitas I've ever tasted. The steak fajitas are flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The tortilla is, of course, home made, and the margaritas are wonderful. (Try the blue...

Yelp.com Review - by Jason C.

3.0 of 5 stars. My wife and I ate there right after hurricane Ike passed through Houston. It was one of the few places with power, so I won't be too hard on them in this review. They had decent tex-mex by anyone's...

Best Tex-Mex in the city!!

I've yet to have a bad item on this menu. Service is fast, food is great (although they did have some growing pains when they moved to their new location a few years ago -- all worked out now). Best fajitas...

too expensive

This place is way more expensive than other mexican restaurants in Katy. The food is not better and the service is terrible. There are much better choices.

lilaguide | Okay Mex place

This really did use to be our favorite Mexican food place. The beans with your salsa when you arrive are great! But customer service is lacking. They want to charge you for any little thing extra. And I've...

Best Mexican food in Houston and surrounding area

If you want authentic Mexican food, you need to check out this restaurant in Katy. Even if you don't live on the west side of town, it is worth the drive. It is easily the best Mexican food restaurant in all...

lilaguide | A great place to unwind...

I have to admit that I don't go to El Jarrito for the food or margaritas (not very good), but I love that I can sit out on the patio, visit with friends and watch the kids play. That in itself is worth the...

Going downhill

The food and service here have always been uneven. Sometimes they're both excellent, sometimes just mediocre. We've stopped going there since there seems to be more of a chance to get a bad meal than a good...

Bad service and so-so food

We ate at their old smaller location a few times. It was ok...so-so food, so-so atmosphere, and so-so service. It was usually just a quick weeknight meal. We tried their new location and the food w...

Loud and pricey - there are plenty of other places I'd rather go!

They built the new El Jarrito shortly after we moved. It seemed like it was always packed and we figured it was just because it was new. We waited, and waited, and it didn't seem to die down, so we ...
