Loved getting padded down getting into the place. Used to go here when I was at Marquette and that never happened. I'm from Chicago and no restaurants frisk you before entering. Food is great too.

**Disclaimer** I went at 2am so this could be a very biased review
The tacos hit the spot! Probably even better then my usual Mexican spot (los comales)! We sat down and got the chips and salsa (nothing special to be honest). I got 3 tacos...2 de asada and 1 chorizo! The tacos de asada: the meat was tender and just slightly seasoned, the tortillas were slightly greased and were topped with cilantro and onion the perfect taco! A great taco, im from chicago so an authentic Mexican taco is what I'm used to! The other taco was chorizo. This one too was perfect, the meat was good quality chorizo with a good kick to it! The tortillas were as well perfect! They offered two salsa a red and green, very typical, i loved both of them! The green was spicy but delicious and the red was almost creamy but definitely my favorite of the two! With it i got an horchata. It was a perfect combo! Would definitely reccomend this place again and will most definitely be back after a night out! I'm pretty sure this place will still be great when I go back sober! The waitress was fast and on a mission to get us our food! Overall great experience!
I also tried the arroz and frijoles both were great and tasty! -

There's nothing quite like discovering a gem on your own. I assume this is how Ferdinand Magellan must have felt. Taqueria Jalisco has an unassuming entrance, and breaks off into the to-go walk-up window with a large menu to peruse and the entrance into the main restaurant. The main restaurant has about 10-15 tables, and has the effect of a cafeteria where you seat yourself without the mean high school politics.
The menu:
The menu is simple, broken down into tacos that you can purchase a la carte or as a platter, burritos, soups, dinner platters, and drinks.
The food:
Let's just get straight into it! If you dine in, you get a basket full of warm tortilla chips, some tomato salsa, tomatillo salsa (green salsa), and a spicy red salsa. The tomato salsa is pretty basic, but tasted really fresh. The tomatillo salsa was really vinegary. But my personal favoriate was the spicy red salsa made from mystery red things. It was spicy but not overpoweringly so. It had depth that was great on chips, but even better on my tacos.
I ordered 3 tacos a la carte: al pastor, carne asada, and chorizo. You can order it on flour or corn, with onions and cilantro (the only way to go!) or with lettuce. The carne asada was well-seasoned, and not dried out. The al pastor was moist and flavorful. It didn't have a strong pineapple flavor, but I didn't miss that! The chorizo was also moist and well-seasoned. It wasn't like the soft sausage I'm used to, but actual sausage chunks, so that was a pleasant surprise! Overall, I'm floored that I've finally found an authentic Mexican taco in Milwaukee.
The drinks:
It looks like there's a full bar and they serve both beer and margaritas. We ordered the horchata and it unfortunately was too sweet, and I'm almost certain they use coconut milk (which I hate...). I personally wouldn't order that again, but there's plenty else to imbibe there!
I'll be back. Really soon. -
