El Jarro de Arturo Mexican Restaurant

waste of money. this was our first time here. We had drinks, the margarita was fine, the sangria was koolaid. Nachos: ok but the avocado had black streaks. We ordered the chile relleno and fish tacos. The meat of the chili relleno was old and did not have any taste. The fish tacos were so oily, I could not eat them. The avocado salad was black. As I cook myself, I would never serve food like this. Horrible!!!! don't waste your money.....$61.28 down the drain....…

There are many gems on the menu. If you're up in the area, give this a try. The menu has many many items on it, and I think that can make one feel overwhelmed. I also think that it causes the restaurant to lose focus a bit. For appetizers I had what I call a tuna popsicle, since I can remember the name, but it wasn't a popsicle at all--it was grilled tuna on a skewer--the marinade was not over the top and the grill on the fish made it a perfect bite or two. The enchiladas Nortenas, the green corn and chicken enchiladas with verde sauce are both worth it for something different. The tuna entre', while delicious, suffered from a lack of focus--there were too many items on the plate and there was a strange marsala mushroom sauce on the redskin mashed potatoes. They had a well stocked bar and the Don Julio plata margaritas were nice and tart-- The service was a bit confused at times, but overall the ambiance is upper scale tex-mex with nice pieces of art here and there. It isn't the greatest mexican food in the world, but for the price point it is well worth it. There are many gems on the menu, it just may take time searching through it all to find them.…
