Jacky's Restaurant

Best sit down Mexican in Sioux Falls. Their fajitas are amazing. Have to get an extra side of pickled carrots and Jacky’s hot sauce to go on top. The beans are also amazing. Really haven’t had anything we haven’t enjoyed. I also like stealing bites of my daughters steak quesadilla which has great flavor. Would highly recommend!

The food has always been amazing when we stop at this location. Comes out hot. Great portions. Awesome flavors. Some staff members make this a 4-star instead of 5-star. For the love of Pete, please check on us for refills, at the very least!! We had to shoot flare guns and wave flags before we got our server back over to ask him for refills. Will still go back for the amazing food, but hopefully not get that server again.

Bad service and mediocre food. The waitress here was very unprofessional. She didn't understand basic questions and refilled my friend's drink with a different drink without realizing it. The food looked decent, but needed much more flavor (not salt). We had to douse everything in hot sauce for it to taste ok. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone and I honestly think the waitress we had should not be working there. She was so rude and always on her phone or flirting with some of her regular customers.

I went to Jacky’s after reading their great reviews. Unfortunately, I soon discovered it was a poorly executed Mexican restaurant branded as Guatemalan. Where was the coffee? Where were the tamales with mole sauce? Plantains? The sopa was unimpressive. The food lacks spice (I don’t mean heat necessarily, just flavor) the meat is dry and bland. Jacky’s sauce tasted sad and was eerily similar to a store bought spaghetti sauce. Is this to suit the weak South Dakota palette? I’ve had a large variety of Central American food in Central America as well as all over the US, and this isn’t it folks. Also the bathroom desperately needs to have the soap dispenser repaired. Using the soap actually made me feel queasy as the machine is broken and the soap is in chunky bits that need to be coerced out of the dispenser.

Chicken chimi wasn't deep fried, just a warm tortilla with way to much rice & beans in it. The shredded beef in the enchiladas was paper thin & stringy. The chips before the meal were not fresh. We won't be in a hurry to go back. The downtown location, when it was there, was much better. The server was good.
