El Jarro Mexican Cafe

I come to Cabo twice a year and stay right around the corner from this place but just finally gave it try on a recent trip. Man have I missed out. Breakfast would consist of a special coffee, fresh juice, a breakfast burrito and club sandwich. The bill was like $16 USD! We ate here at least 3-4 of the days we were here. Service was great even when it was crowded. I'd say almost every day we ate there, it was at least 75-90% occupied. Food is really good and we'll definitely be back.

SO GOOD!!! Steak tacos were huge and packed full of meat. The chips were fresh and hot and the salsa had just the right amount of spice. Really good prices as well. Would definitely check them out if you haven't already!

I would go back! We were looking for a Mexican restaurant and this one was perfect. The atmosphere was nice, the staff were friendly and the food was excellent! The wet burrito hit the spot after munching on some fresh chips, salsa, and scratch made guacamole.

This is the best Mexican food in Lafayette in my opinion. Specializing in Oaxaca region cuisine. Myself and three of my hungry friends went for lunch the other day and we were met with a smile, chips and salsa, menus, and a drink order within a minute of sitting down on the cozy front patio. The food never disappoints from the Carnitas Nachos to the Super Burrito to some of the house specialties like The Tilapia from the Oaxaca Coast or the Garlic Prawns in creamy sauce. Even Junior found something yummy from the kids menu. Park for free in the back and check the blackboard to the right of the door for the daily specials. Una más cerveza por favor!

Excellent food and excellent service!!! The chips they serve are piping hot……the sopes and poblanos are to die for.

We had a great lunch, and everything was delicious. The steak torta was phenomenal , the chiles rellenos super tasty, fresh and authentic. The sopes were quite good as well. Everything tasted fresh and authentic. Even the salsa and guacamole (neither heavy or overdone) were outstanding. Not to mention the margaritas. We'll be back!

Started with the chips and salsa (not free) and guacamole. They are fresh cups and salsa. The guacamole is small but tasty. We ordered the mahi mahi and prawns, steak grilled tilapia. All three meals were amazing. If you want freshly prepared Mexican meals this is your small restaurant stop.

Wonderfully delicious Mexican food! Fair prices, good portions, really fresh, and great atmosphere. Wish I tried here sooner! I will be back!

The food here was absolutely incredible. The servers were quick and the atmosphere was amazing. I would totally check this place out if I were you.

Not kidding, one of the best fish tacos I have had in a long time and certainly best of East Bay! Amazing nachos and such lovely, friendly service. Will go back with my family. Kid also gives big thumbs up.

Small, cute cafe with tons of good food. Marinated pork burrito and the freshly cooked tortilla chips were amazing in particular.

I stopped by El Jarro on a busy weekday lunchtime. It was packed with no seating available, so I decided to take my order to go. I got the Mexican torta with milanesa, chorizo, and melted cheese, and it was absolutely delicious! The ingredients were fresh, well-prepared, and perfectly balanced—the hot, melty fillings contrasted beautifully with the crisp, cold toppings. The flavors and textures were amazing. The service was excellent despite the crowd, and the price was super reasonable. Highly recommend El Jarro for a tasty and satisfying meal!”

THE BEST Mexican food in the East Bay!!! Great people, great food and THE cleanest grill and work area I've ever seen. We get takeout 2-3 times per month and it's OFF THE HOOK!!!!

First time here, I really enjoyed the food, all fresh and delicious, server was friendly and attentive.

Love this place! Such an awesome place for a quick bite to eat. Chips and salsa are awesome and love the chicken burrito. The staff is always so friendly and nice! One of my favorites in Lafayette!

Nice little local Mexican food joint. Reasonable prices and good food. It has some interesting menu options beyond the usual Mexican restaurant fare. Casual, family run.

This Mexican restaurant is a hidden gem! The service was top-notch, with waitstaff who went above and beyond to make our dining experience exceptional. The food was exceptional – I can't get over the incredible flavors in their enchiladas and the zesty salsa. The ambiance was cozy and inviting, with dim lighting and charming decor that created the perfect setting for a romantic dinner. I highly recommend this place for a memorable night out.

Good food and great value. Portions are not too big which is a nice change. Service was quick for a late dinner. More room in the back.

A little smaller than I care for, but the food and the great service made it worth it! I had the wet burrito with steak as my protein and it was fantastic! If my wife would not have slapped the taste out of my mouth I would have licked the plate! Oh and my wife thought it was the best salsa she’d had in a long time! Highly recommend!

The vegetarian enchilada was o.k. but when asked to make it Vegan it still had cheese in it. The Huevos Rancheros was o.k. too, the tortilla (only 1) under the eggs was dried out and tough. A little skimpy on everything but the price. Seemed like a child's portion compared with other places in the area. They charge you for the chips and dip.
