Editorial Review for Jorge's – by Susan Kirr
In Short
Aside from the intimate dining spaces broken up by bright red paneled walls and decorated with Mexican ceramics and ironworks, guests can also retreat to the bar or an outdoor patio. Everything is made fresh, including the soft, redolent tortillas. Carne con chile verde is pork stewed until tender with poblano and Anaheim chiles, tomatillos and onions. El Monterrey offers a sampling: grilled taco, cheese enchilada, a spicy chile relleno and lots of fresh guacamole.

I really like Jorges. The food is super yummy and decently priced. My favorite thing is the colorful decorations and overall atmosphere. It's a funplace to go! Their Margaritas are great and on Thursdays they have half price Mexican martinis. Nice bathrooms too....
Pros: great atmoshere, great margaritas and food
Cons: service can be a little on the slow side, but not awful

I read some of the other reviews prior, but decided to give it a try anyway - YES it's too expensive for the type & quality of the food; however I don't mind the price IF the food is good. I had the barbarcoa (?) tacos & could barely swallow the one bite! Now, I may have made a mistake with this choice, BUT I do expect a good waiter/place to notice a completely uneaten plate and make an inquiry (at the least)...the waiter ignored the uneaten dish & then commented that "it's un unusual meat, but his favorite!" - I paid the $8.00 for the small portion of refried beans & boring rice! My friend had the chicken fajita tacos and said they were "very good" - another friend had the beef tacos & I tasted them (they were "ok" at best - but too expensive for ground beef tacos! The pepsi was good...but I would rather have gone through the drive-thru at Jack n the Box for the 2 tacos for $.99!!!!!!!!!!! But, despite the price & my really bad dish the place was packed!! - oh well I won't go back...sorry Jorge!
Pros: big parking lot
Cons: prices - way to expensive for casual Mexican food, barbarcoa tacos were BADDD tasting...
