Good for groups

Tex-Mex cuisine began in the Rio Grande Valley before migrating up to San Antonio during the l860's where a group of women known as The Chili Queens' began to pop up in the city's plazas selling chili con carne with tamales, enchiladas, and chili verde. They incorporated cumin into their dishes favored by settlers from the
Canary lslands, which still has a strong influence on Mexican food in Texas. Tex-Mex also loves beef, flour tortillas, yellow cheese, fajitas and more.

Our inspiration comes from the many classic Tex-Mex restaurants including Sylvia's Enchilada Kitchen, Papasito's, Ninfa's, Blue Goose, Hugo's, Herrerra's Cafe, Chuy's, Valentina's Tex-Mex and many more. Jackalope combines excellent Central Texas-style smoked meats from Jack's BBQ with delicious Tex-Mex dishes. lt's truly the best of both worlds!

Ambiance and service are awesome . Food flavorful. Love the homemade chips and warm homemade salsa. Never served warm salsa, and I think I'll always serve mine that way from now on!😋😋😋

We went for a brunch reservation at 11:15. There were only two servers and about 20 people seated. We went without throughout our whole reservation, literally from walking in until we finished. It took me 10 minutes to flag the waitress down to order drinks/food. Nothing was that big of a deal, and I will definitely dine here again because we enjoyed the food, but the service left a lot to be desired.
