Customer Reviews

"Casa Jalisco is hands down the best Mexican restaurant in Hattiesburg. The food was incredible from start to finish. The portions were big, the beer was ice cold, and the flavors were spot on. I had the carnitas and they were some of the best I have ever had--tender, juicy, and perfectly seasoned. The atmosphere is laid-back, the service is solid, and the plates come out hot and loaded. You definitely get your money's worth here. If you're looking for authentic Mexican food in Hattiesburg, this is the place. Highly recommend, and I will absolutely be back. Number one Mexican spot in town without question."

"Great food, we ate vegetarian only. Bean and rice are delicious and so are fajitas. If you are a looking for vegetarian food this is flavorful food. We also ordered sides of grilled vegetables."

"My husband and I have been coming here since we met!! It's our favorite comfort food. We have seen staff come and go (and come back!!) over the years, and everyone is fantastic. We even named our hamster after one of our favorite servers (shoutout Chewy, we miss you!). Will always recommend this place."

"Food was very good and very fresh. Salsa lacked a little luster, so we asked for pico de gallo and that was very good. Guacamole was super good too! 3e will definitely be back on our next trip to Hattiesburg"

"Please don't eat here because I do not want to have to fight for a table when you realize how awesome the food is. I always get the taco salad and it has never disappointed me! Portion and quality meet the price. Great service. I always go for the cilantro salsa but leave very full."

- Ashley A.

"The food was great and everyone was very friendly. Our server, Grace, was wonderfully sweet. My only complaint is that the service was a bit slower than expected. Overall a good experience."
