Editorial Review for El Jarro De Arturo – by Retha Oliver
In Short
The large, frescoed interior seems to stretch on forever, but in spite of its size, El Jarro fills up. Lunchtime diners and an upscale after-work crowd come for the best Mexican food on this side of town, including enchiladas and a notable chili and corn soup. Festive and noisy in the evenings, it's a good place for socializing in groups and the well-stocked bar can keep things going long after the beans and rice are gone.

I *NEVER* thought I would be saying anything bad about this place...I've been coming with my parents since I was a young child and loved it. Sadly, the service is despicable and awful now. They don't care and act like they are so much better than you even regardless of what you tip, like said below. They could honestly care less worse than probably any other restaurant I've been to. The last time I went hardly anyone was there anymore when it used to be packed up the wazoo and you would wait for hours, and I see why. I gave it about 3 more tries to see if it was just a bad day but the same thing. I've also noticed the quality of food has gone downhill. Its a shame to have one of the best restaurants in S.A. go to complete dirt. I am not a mean person but what is said about the front lady is true. And whenever we place an order to go she is RUDE and careless and never ever ever gets the order right. I used to recommend this restaurant to everyone and they all loved it before and we would have parties there even or when friends came out of town that would be our first choice, but my best friend had her party there not too long ago and it was sucky beyond belief along w/their attitudes. I felt really bad. I could not agree more with some of the reviews below. I can say more but i will leave it at that. This went from my first place to go(years ago) to my L A S T resort. Goodbye el jarro.
Pros: USED to be the best
Cons: Now the WORST

Well....maybe I shouldn't say it was the worst service since it was more like NO SERVICE...we were a party of 10 and we had to go FIND a waiter and ask them to take our drink order. Fortunately, we went on a Sunday morning while there was a buffet and the food was very good. Another 'good' thing was there were pitchers of water and tea near by so we could fill our own drinks...wait, isn't that what waiters are supposed to do???? As we left we decided to speak with the manager so he would be aware of our dismal service and much to our disappointment (and i guess after the day we were having it should have been expected) he stood there with his arms crossed and only nodded, never saying a word.......
Pros: Good food
Cons: Worst customer service I've ever experienced
