We visited from Dallas, TX and we were looking for a great breakfast place. A family friend recommended Jabalina to us. From the minute we drove up the front door valet was quick and efficient. The manager greeted us and was friendly and hospitable. He had the hostess seat us and then came to our table and treated our entire party of 6 to free mimosas (we don’t drink alcohol so we asked him to change it to plain oj) We ordered the Barbacoa and it was delish!! We also ordered hotcakes and they were so good. Antonio, our waiter was so efficient and friendly and Ephraim, the manager was awesome! I highly recommend this place!!!
This place is great. It has an awesome terrace, and the ambiance is nice. The food is really good. We ordered the lentil soup and it was delicious as well as the tiras de carne and the meat was so soft. Great drinks and service.
Went to restaurant row not really having high expectations. Most of the restaurants appeared to be serving up the same regular bar restaurant faire. We approached Jabalina and decided to take a chance. Walked in and it was nothing special. But then the hostess walked us to the back and THAT was where it got interesting. The back has kind of a cool jungle setting with a retractable roof and neat lighting. There is a beautifully lit bar and a stage for live music although there wasn't any Wednesday evening. The music was so right on. Simply a great vibe. Our waiter, a Venezuelan national whose name I forgot (Sorry amigo!), was great. The food, ribeye tacos and some choice tomato soup, were perfect. The cheesecake for dessert was excellent as well. This is a great spot. I highly recommend it!
Pork belly, tuna taco and beef ribs were excellent. Great service friendly staff! Flour tortillas were so good only mad I didn’t save room for dessert! Definitely recommend
