Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
The beverage program at El Jarocho leans heavily on value and volume, with a Specials section that prices Margaritas Especial at $5.00, a Martini/Manhattan at $7.50, 12 oz drafts at $2.50, and bottle beers at $2.99. A Corinita Especial Bucket runs $14.99. The nonalcoholic side is more varied than most restaurant lists, with horchata, hibiscus, Sidral Mundet, and sangria. Wine is represented by a single visible Chardonnay label. This is a straightforward, affordable drink list built for margaritas and beer rather than deep sipping.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Margaritas Especial at $5.00, or the peach margarita that a customer described as not overly sweet. For beer, the 12 oz drafts at $2.50 and bottle beers at $2.99 are the practical picks.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- People looking for inexpensive margaritas and beer will find the Specials section particularly useful. The nonalcoholic list also suits anyone who wants horchata, hibiscus, or a Mexican soda instead of a drink.
- When should I go?
- Happy hour is referenced by a guest testimonial for frozen margaritas, making that a reasonable time to visit for the margarita specials.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Drinks are inexpensive: $5.00 for a Margaritas Especial, $7.50 for a Martini/Manhattan, $2.50 for a 12 oz draft, $2.99 for a bottle beer, and $14.99 for a Corinita Especial Bucket. Nonalcoholic options range from $3.50 to $7.50.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The drink list combines a deep nonalcoholic section—horchata, hibiscus, Sidral Mundet, sangria—with very low pricing on margaritas, drafts, and bottles. That combination is uncommon at this price point.
