JalisCo Mexican Restaurant

I moved out of town several years ago but every time I come home to visit now I have to stop here. Everything I've tried is really tasty. The service is very good too. Take some time to talk to your server and they just might hook you up. I got some lime sautéed jalapeños last time I was there.

I stayed in California, Missouri for one night while traveling (it's a small farming town off US 50). I asked the motel keeper for a recommendation and she picked this place and a Chinese restaurant both down the block. I went to JalisCo (how they spell it and was pleasantly surprised. The place was jammed at 7 pm with locals and the food is dead authentic - the only concession to local taste is that it is somewhat milder than I prefer.

I ordered Tacos de Carne Asada (marinated grilled steak tacos) which were served rapidly on flour tortillas that I suspect were made in house - no cardboard tortillas here. The steak was tender and delicious and was served with the correct cilantro-tomato-onion mixture on the side. They have imported and local beer, and mixed drinks. The place is clean, well lighted and comfortable. Service is prompt and courteous. Worth a detour to visit - don't go to Burger Clown!!
