Absolutely delicious Mexican food in Murphysboro. Loved it. Previous visits to the area we have…read moregone to a Mexican restaurant in Carbondale with a liquor license - thinking that that El Jalisco did not have the same. Glad to know we were wrong. Delicious margaritas - and - the quesabirria tacos? Oh my goodness - I can't get enough. SOOOO delicious. We were there with three adults and one toddler. Two of us devoured the quesabirria and could not stop raving about how delicious they were. Rick enjoyed a burrito - and the chips and salsa kept the ten month old in our party very happy. Will definitely be back on our next trip to Murphysboro. And while I love to try different dishes - the memory of that quesabirria taco has me salivating. Ohhhh - so good!

She took care of the entire store and restaurant all by herself. The restaurant is very tiny, but the food is delish. The restaurant was empty when I arrived at 1pm. She put on the Mexican music when I arrive. Service is fast. The owner explained the menu and provided good recommendations. I tried 4 tacos of different meat: birria, lengua, steak and carnitas. All are served with onions and lime. I love birria and lengua the most, followed by carnitas. I picked an authentic Mexican soda from their fridge. I love all the drink options available.

However in the back there's a dining area. They make tacos and tortas. After looking around a bit we found where to order at. It's got a window in the back. There's a small menu of a few authentic Mexican items and the choices of protein. Mostly it's tacos of course. These are pretty easy to make. It's $4 each. Protein choices include beef, chicken, or get beans and vegetables. Got us a couple of tacos with the beans. These were topped with cilantro and onions. Small but full of flavor. The store has drinks such as Jarritos, and you can get big ass cans of beans so you can make tacos for later. Good place to get authentic Mexican food. It's located on West Jackson Street at Illinois Avenue in a building that looks unassuming from outside. There's taqueria is located in the back, and you order at the window.

They are guaranteed to waste…read moreyour time, money, and still leave you starving after a $10-15 order; since they are simply too incompetent to create the most basic order possible. This establishment is a chronic failure and SHOULD BE AVOIDED AT ALL COSTS. Every item is guaranteed to be either straight up incorrect or at the VERY least, made incorrectly. Not to mention this location NEVER has Baja Blast, as if it's not been a reoccurring issue for the past 1+ yrs. Management simply doesn't care, and I have been told exactly that in person (more than once).

Has a lot of good values in the combo meals. They of course have tacos, along with burritos and nachos. Basically this is order at the counter fast food. It's got a pretty good size dining area so there's plenty of seating. This also boasts of being the only fast food restaurant with outdoor seating in town. Either way it's pretty good for the cost. This gives you a lot for not a lot. It's about $12 for the Tacos Combo. This also includes the vegetarian tacos. Comes with a drink and tortilla chips. The hot salsas gave it most of the flavor to be honest. Good place if looking for some basic Mexican American food. It's located on East Grand Avenue at Wall Street. There's plenty of choices for both meat eaters and vegetarians.

First time in years I've ever had a problem here.

There were 3 other employees chatting. 1 seemed to be manning the grill, but the other 2 seemed to be doing less urgent items and didn't seem interested in helping the girl. It took longer than it should to be waited on. All of the food items on the bar seemed to be low or old. There was a fly I noticed that landed on the cold items at the end. There was only one other couple sitting in the place. The entire place was a mess. Behind the counter hadn't been cleaned up. The drink station was a disaster with ice and liquid everywhere. Trash was in the floor. Not a single table was clean, inside or outside. If this is the attitude of employees and appearance of the restaurant to customers, it makes me wonder how bad the sanitary condition and quality of food really is.

So good in fact that I needed to ask, "are these made fresh?" They are and the difference is noticeable. The salsa fresca is awesome. If you're brain washed into thinking that thin flaky chips and thick pasty salsa is good, you're in for a shock. After lunch, my wife and I went back for dinner because of the chips and salsa. Other bonuses: The margaritas were good. Strong. A** kickingly strong. The food was tasty, but I don't know if it was exceptional. The service was a little slow. I wish they brought more than 2 flour tortillas per meal. Candidly, the chips and salsa are so good that everything else came in second.

If you stick your spoon in their bean dip the cheese will come out like strings of mozzarella. There should be no stringiness in the cheese on the bean dip. I'm quite serious about this. In California and out west all you find is the mozzarella stuff. That is the same for this Mexican restaurant. I promise you want the liquid not the stringy stuff. It was fine otherwise. I don't think I'll come back to this location.
