The long-awaited west-side version of Jacky’s Restaurant opened Monday.

Jacky’s Burrito Express, 2315 W. 12th St., is open from 6 a.m. to 1 a.m. every day but Sunday when it closes at 10 p.m.

It’s the quick-serve version of Jacky’s, manager Roberto Lopez said. Customers order and pick up their food at the counter. There’s seating for 48.

Prices are cheaper than the other three locations because there isn’t table service, Lopez said. Everything is still house-made, he said. A chicken or steak burrito is $6.50, and the special burritos are $8. The menu is extensive, ranging from tacos for $2 to aguachile, a seafood dish, for $25, but most items are less than $8.

The breakfast items include a $6.50 burrito with ham, sausage, bacon, steak or veggies along with scrambled eggs, beans and cheese. There are scrambled egg dishes with chorizo, ham or hot dogs.

Menudo and other soups will be served Friday and on the weekend.
