    Ground beef enchilada with tamale, delicious! Rice and Beans are good too?
    Todd L.

    PROS: Food is very tasty, yum! CONS: Looks rundown, in serious need of weeding, cleaning and painting outside! See pictures. If you eat in the restaurant, you get FREE chips & salsa. If you place an order to go, NO CHIPS, you have to pay $3.99.... WT? I ordered 2 combo plates, you can't throw in some chips? Poor Customer Service

    There's two Mexican restaurants in Evanston. Food from Jalisco is the best because is more authentic Mexican and the place is very clean.

    My co-worker and I stopped by this place looking for a light lunch while on our way to Salt Lake…read moreCity. We got chips and salsa, a side of queso, an order of 2 street tacos and an order of flautas. Overall the food was average. While the salsa was fresh and flavorful, the queso dip was obviously out of a can, bright orange and tasteless. The street tacos were shredded beef and carnitas; both were served with double-corn tortillas, fresh chopped onion and fresh cilantro, but the meat fillings were bland, and the carnitas were not as crispy as I like. My co-worker had the flautas (rolled and deep-fried tortillas stuffed with meat and cheese) - she said they were ok but a little greasy. I probably would not eat here again, but will say that the menu is large and it could be we just ordered 'wrong'. Our server was very nice, the interior was clean, and I did enjoy the murals painted on the walls too. This place is located in a strip mall just off the highway in Evanston. Very convenient location with plenty of parking.

    The food was okay but the service lacked a lot. I'm big on hospitality and if not given that I feel…read morelike it ruins the whole experience especially if the food isn't good the service can always make up for it. We came from out of state hoping to have a good experience. Barely any people inside but wasn't given chips and salsa I had to ask and wasn't checked on at all during our meal, felt maybe only selected people get good service. Also, can't believe that they charge for refills when the cups are so tiny.

    We stopped into this location for dinner, but our group ended up ordering breakfast which they…read moreserve all day. Most of the online reviews were for the breakfast, so we wanted to try it. The name leads you to believe it was a Mexican restaurant, but they actually had Italian, American, and Mexican offerings on the menu. I had looked at the online menu before arriving and found that the prices were about $4.00 higher online than on the menu inside the restaurant. The hostess was friendly and welcomed us with a smile. She seated us quickly and there were not too busy. The waitress was efficient with taking our order, but the food seemed a little slow to come out based on the number of customers. I ordered the Avocado Eggs Benedict. It was very tasty and the avocado complemented the traditional eggs benedict well. It came with hashbrowns that were cooked like I like them, not too crispy but not mushy or soggy either. The waitress came by regularly and kept our drinks full. I took an order of buffalo chicken wings to-go. When we opened them to eat later, the lettuce they put in the to-go box was all wilted. The carrots and celery were pretty tiny and didn't add much to the dish. The blue cheese dipping sauce was a good flavor and offset the buffalo sauce well. The chicken wings were smaller and not anything special. I would recommend the breakfast here, but suggest skipping the chicken wings.

    Authentic Mexican, lots of choices, messy platting, pretty good flavors. Except, my chicken tasted…read morelike it was rotten. Bathroom location is weird, one stall in the room, why bother with a stall? Just put a lock on the door.

They quickly adjusted seating to fit our large party comfortably, which isn't easy. We really appreciated that. Unfortunately, the food experience was mixed and had some consistent issues that affected most people: * Several meals arrived lukewarm or cold, including a child's Mac-n-Cheese that was straight from the Kraft box and cold. Most of the table reported similar temperature problems. * Our nacho platter with pulled pork was a decent size with good toppings, but the cheese on top wasn't warm at all. The pulled pork was a bit light on portion and average in flavor (though the cheese underneath it was actually warm). * The side salad had some brown lettuce pieces that should have been removed. * The Firecracker Burger was good, but the fries tasted like fish -- likely from being fried in the same oil as the fish & chips. * The chicken panini was lukewarm and felt overpriced for the quality. Most menu items start at $17+, and the value doesn't seem to match the price point. On the positive side, both pizzas (pepperoni and cheese) were a hit with the younger kids -- they really enjoyed them. Edit - the kids said "the pizza dough wasn't really cooked but it was fine" We know running a restaurant is tough, especially with big groups, and the friendly service stood out. With some focus on food temperature, portion consistency, fryer separation, and price-to-value on certain items, Suds could be a much stronger spot. There aren't many restaurant options in the area, so we'd love to see them improve and come back next time we're in town. Thanks again to the team for their efforts.
