El Jarrito Mexican Restaurant

Came to eat some authentic Mexican food , the pictures look amazing. I ordered the tamales dinner , the food wasn’t that hot. The tamales didn’t have much taste , super disappointed with the rice. That was canned beans and carrots on rice , not Mexican rice. The place is aesthetically beautiful , great decor but the food no.

My husband came here for the first time today for lunch with my in laws, he loved it so much that he took me, our boys, and my sister for dinner. Such a hidden gem!! My first time, so far, the best authentic Mexican restaurant in Katy, best enchiladas, and margaritas in Katy so far!!!! Great service, Salazar was very friendly and very attentive. Will definitely be coming back and asking for Salazar!

I went here today for a late lunch after an appointment. I had the Carne Guisada plate with rice and refried beans. It was very good! The service was friendly and prompt with our waiter checking on us several times. They have sweet tea! Bonus points ...ding ding! I have been coming here for years and it never disappoints!

Update: Went back on a Thursday evening and this time I ordered enchiladas Verdes.....much much better! Also got the table side guacamole, which was fresh and delicious! Our server was busy, but attentive. Also the restaurant was a bit less busy and the music wasn't so loud this visit, so I could hear the conversation at my table. Overall much better experience. Probably best to go on weeknights and avoid on busy weekend nights. Original review: Visually a very cool place, but it was far too loud to hear the person right next to you. My dish (one of the combination plates) was rather bland. The server was nice, but at the end of our meal he was no where to be found and we had to wait a ridiculous amount of time to get our check. I think he literally forgot we were still there.
