EL JALISCO MEXICAN RESTAURANT – Mexican
Guacamole mashed at your table, a molcajete arriving while it still hisses: El Jalisco has been a Tallahassee default for years. The Carranza family runs several rooms across town, North Monroe Street, Kerry Forest Parkway, Apalachee Parkway and Southwood among them, each posting its own weekday specials board. Order pineapple fajitas, the chimichanga platter, Quesadilla El J's, arroz con pollo, or assemble a combination plate from enchiladas, flautas and tamales. Asada street tacos have quietly built their own following. The company claims a long run of local best-Mexican honours. Portions land large, margaritas land cold, and weekends run past midnight.
