Ate there for the first time last night and it was so good we had to come back tonight. The enchiladas with chili con carne, charro beans and Spanish rice and the Palmalo margarita was the best. Will definitely return soon.

We hosted an after wedding luncheon on the patio for 40 people. The food was incredible, and the service was even more outstanding. Everyone raved about the experience. We had arranged to be served chicken and beef fajitas, With black beans and Chimichurri rice as soon as we arrived, because people needed to catch flights out of the city. Jorge’s did everything we asked with style and grace. Don’t hesitate to try their wonderful food and their even better service!!!

For a two person fajita platter we got two small taco’s a piece with two pieces of meat each At $50. not to mention upon entering, there was nobody at the front desk and when the hostess did came around the corner, She looked at us like we ruined her day and was very abrupt. our waitress was nice enough however she had to leave our table several times to go ask questions about what we were ordering and she lingered quite a bit in a very creepy way and over explained things to linger. We were one of four tables of people, small tables And as far as I saw, we were her only table and she was very slow and coming back checking on us or what have you. The atmosphere was very nice though and it was tastefully done. We had more interaction with a waitress that was not our waitress, who was very friendly and knowledgeable. Overall, I would say I would probably not go back to this place at all. The food was warm in the tortillas were cold.

The hostess was rude,abrupt and very uninviting. She gave us some very unpleasant looks and did not say anything upon leaving us at the table. The server was nice but did not seem to understand her job. The food was cold and had no flavor. The portion size was ridiculously small we ordered fajitas for two and was only able to make two tiny tacos a piece. So for the price of 50 dollars it was not worth the money.

I'm giving Jorge's 3 stars due to the ok vibe of this restaurant and my first impression. I had expected better service but it was just blah.
The inside was very nice with eye catching decor, well lit and ample seating. It wasn't too crowded or overwhelming. The hostess walked me towards the back of the restaurant without any friendly greeting which was a bit
off-putting. She didn't even bother to ask if I wanted to sit at table or a booth. This minor slip up needs improvement so that the customer wants to come back.
My waiter Owen was very attentive and pleasant. He welcomed me with a warm smile and made sure I was content with my order. He gets 5 stars for his wonderful personality and attentive service.
I ordered a beef chimijanga, black beans and Mexican rice. They provide you with complimentary chips and salsa, one red salsa, and one green. The red one was delicious but the other didn't taste good at all. My food arrived hot, A+, and Owen was consistent with my drink refills.
The atmosphere was nice, and because my visit was on Halloween, I had the pleasure of listening to some nostalgic music from Michael Jackson's "Thriller" and the original Ghostbusters theme song and Owen's dancing which kept me entertained.
