Great place to get really good Hispanic food for a really good price. Amazing Carnitas, salsa, and margaritas. The prices are perfect for the quality of food they are serving. This place should be packed every day. I drove an hour away to eat here, just saying.

My husband and I are trying out some new restaurants in our area. I have been craving a chicken burrito for several days and I talked about it so much that my husband also wanted one by the end of the day. So we tried The Jungle. The server was attentive and kind with a sincere smile. I ordered a peach margarita and it was lovely. My husband and I both ordered a wet chicken burrito and they came out quickly. 10 minutes maybe? The thing was as big as your head! Covered with a tasty queso and red sauce. It was very good. Not too overpowering and very nice to look at. It was so big that we both took portions home. The music was playing but not too loud. If I had to complain about anything at all it would be that we were served tap water, or filtered water with a filter that needs changing :) Not a huge deal. We will be back. They have other stuff on their menu that we want to try. Check out the pictures for a bit of our experience.

Absolutely phenomenal! My family suffers from a plethora of allergies and we have successfully eaten here twice without a single issue! Everything is very fresh, and made without filler and cheap additives just to make a dollar stretch further. Our server JD took our order without writing it down. This always makes me very nervous with so many allergies and alterations we often have to make. Everything came out PERFECT!!! There were 5 of us and he remembered every single alteration and request. I have never had this happen, it's even rare for everything to come out that perfect when a server writes everything down. The staff is very friendly and seem to actually be happy to be at their job. Absolutely wonderful experience, we can't wait to go back! And their homemade corn tortillas are so good that you'll question if they are really made from corn!

We ordered the blue shell tacos- asada and carnitas. They were good. Also got steak fajitas- good as well. Margs were awesome. Service was prompt and kind. Chips and salsa were great.

The Jungle has quickly become a favorite of ours! Every dish we've tried has been fantastic, a welcome change from places where only a few items shine. Their homemade horchata is a must-try! What truly makes The Jungle stand out is the exceptional service, particularly from our server, Ernesto. On our first visit, he expertly guided us through the menu with his enthusiastic recommendations of the quesabirria and al pastor tacos, both of which were outstanding. We trusted him again on a subsequent visit, and his suggestions of the garlic shrimp and carne asada were equally delicious. Ernesto's attentiveness and genuine passion for ensuring his diners have a great experience are truly impressive. We even thought he might be management due to his dedication! It's clear he cares deeply about the food and the customer. Ask for Ernesto – his recommendations are gold!

I’d heard good things about The Jungle and was glad to meet a friend there for lunch. We were greeted warmly and sincerely, and seated right away. The restaurant was clean and comfortable. Our server was welcoming and brought us chips and salsa, then drinks, right away. Our server helped us with a couple of questions about items on the menu, and I ended up ordering the azul mini tacos al pastor with consume. The chips and salsa were good. The taco ingredients were fresh and bursting with flavor. The prices are maybe a little higher, but it was worth it! It was an excellent lunch experience!

James Murdock

Absolutely delicious! This place serves authentic Mexican food full of flavor and tradition. The tacos were incredible, the fajitas tasted homemade, and the salsa had the perfect kick. Friendly service and a cozy atmosphere made it even better. A true hidden gem—highly recommend!
