The reviews are bogus! Right next to a hotel so very convenient other than that this place is a low ranked restaurant. Mediocre customer service.
Had to specifically order two veggie burritos with all the veggies they had due … More

Use to be our favorite place. The prices have gone up and the quality has came down. Refried beans had no beans mostly water and the salsa is watered down so bad it wouldn’t stay on the chip. More

My husband and I have been twice now and we absolutely love El Jarocho. The food is delicious and service is great. We've tried most Mexican restaurants in Statesville and El Jarocho is easily in our top two now. More

Came during lunch and ordered the Volcanito dish. It was good but I probably should have ordered something else cause it essentially was a cheese chicken burrito with rice and beans. Service was great, our server was very attentive. Will have to try again and update my review. More

Great service and good food in a CLEAN atmosphere (don’t be put off by the fact that it’s attached to a gas station). I really enjoyed the fresh salsa! Our only complaint was that the cheese on the Aroz con Pollo was too salty.

We were looking for a stop on our way home to Ohio. So happy we picked here! The bean dip stuff they give you with the chips is so good. My husband said the salsa was delicious. The fried ice cream is to die for! I wish I hadn't asked my … More

Great food. Ordered for the Taco Tuesday special. I missed the sign about ground beef only for the special ($1.50). Our server never corrected or informed us. Could have been handled better, even if I should have read the sign for it too. More
