About This Place

El Jalisco Grill, located at 1813 Ennis Joslin Rd #113 in Corpus Christi, TX, is a vibrant Mexican and Tex-Mex haven that masters the art of authentic, heartwarming cuisine. Renowned for its varied offerings, from breakfast tacos to savory burritos and sizzling fajitas, this restaurant delivers an exceptional dining experience that seamlessly bridges traditional Mexican flavors with Texas flair.

Step inside and you'll be greeted by an inviting atmosphere where the aromas of fresh corn tortillas—made by hand—waft through the air, evoking memories of home-cooked meals and festive gatherings. The menu is a treasure trove for lovers of bold, spicy, and richly seasoned dishes. Signature plates such as the Ribeye & Enchilada Plate and the Carne Asada Plate showcase tender, juicy cuts of meat, expertly charred to maintain that perfect balance of smoky flavor and succulent tenderness. The Fajitas Nortenas and San Antonio Plate particularly stand out, with their generous portions of skirt steak that diners rave about—each bite bursting with robust, grilled perfection.

Seafood enthusiasts will delight in options like the Shrimp Cocktail De Camarones and Shrimp Tacos, which combine fresh, tender shrimp with vibrant salsas and zesty accompaniments that awaken the palate. For a truly decadent treat, the Piña Loco—a grilled pineapple half stuffed with beef, chicken, and shrimp fajitas and smothered in melted Monterey jack cheese—is a standout that leaves guests craving more.

The breakfast offerings are equally impressive, featuring favorites like the Breakfast Taco with Egg, Chorizo, Potato, and Cheese that are both satisfying and bursting with flavor first thing in the morning. If you prefer something with a bit of a fiery kick, the Chicken & Shrimp Mango Habanero or the Chipotle Fire Chicken plates offer thrilling spice balanced with sweet mango notes and smoky chipotle.

Sides and starters like Chori Queso Fries and freshly made guacamole perfectly complement the main dishes, adding layers of comfort and indulgence to every meal. The restaurant’s inventive cocktails, such as the Mango Margarita and the classic Michelada, elevate the dining experience with their refreshing, vibrant profiles.

Guests consistently praise not only the quality of the food but also the warm, attentive service. One visitor fondly remarked on the genuine hospitality, highlighting friendly waitstaff and a welcoming vibe that makes everyone feel like family. From the flavorful salsas that trigger a nostalgia for authentic home cooking, to the perfectly seasoned guisados and enchiladas that harmoniously blend Texan and Mexican influences, El Jalisco Grill is truly a culinary gem in Corpus Christi.

Whether you're craving a hearty, expertly grilled fajita platter or a comforting plate of enchiladas paired with fragrant rice and beans, El Jalisco Grill delivers on taste, value, and atmosphere. It’s a place where every visit feels like a celebration of rich flavors and memorable moments.

    Good food and service, and a great value considering the price. Fajitas have a nice char, but still tender and juicy. My daughter had the birria ramen, and she really enjoyed it as well. Will definitely be back next time we’re in town.

    Went in today with my family. Service was great; the waiter was very friendly. The food... I don't know where to begin. Corn tortillas made by hand with a taste that'll bring you back to your grandma's. Guisado was thick with a perfect amount of seasoning and taste. The enchiladas are where Texas and Mexico meet, a taste you'll expect that will not let you down. Rice, which is always a deal-breaker for me, was made to perfection, fluffy, and every grain separated. I will be back to this restaurant with my family again. I will recommend it to friends and family that visit Corpus.

    I got the Piña Loco this time. A hollowed out half of a grilled pineapple stuffed with beef, chicken, and shrimp fajitas, covered in Monterey jack cheese. Sooooo good. Everything I've had there has been delicious.

    Food and service were really good. As Tex-Mex goes this is some of the best in Texas I've encountered. The Supreme nachos were delicious and there was enough to fill up both of us. The steak is the winner on everything. And the shrimp. You will leave with leftovers and the fajita plate was enormous. We'll eat here again every time we visit Corpus.

    El Jalisco Grill is by far my favorite restaurant! I absolutely love the staff, especially the girl that works at the drive through window! I always order the grande quesadilla with barbacoa with a side of chips and queso and it NEVER fails me. I wish this restaurant did a rewards system for how much I go here, as a broke college student this place really gets me through it. I love you El Jalisco <33
