Sept 2025- was not as good today. Most of my families fajitas were burned. Not steaming when they came out though. It was weird. Was told they didn't have mild salsa. When usually they just give my mom red sauce as mild instead of salsa. My El Jalisgo Special was more dry then usual. Very very salty. Mushrooms were ok but over cooked and not worth 2.99 extra. Dude at the register kept resting his head down bent over. Like he was really tired. Not sure we will be back. And...
They say it's the best Mexican restaurant in town and they seriously mean it. If I could rate 10 stars I would. This place is my go to in Southern Illinois for good fajitas and burritos, I highly recommend a madello or a margarita with your meal as well. The food is amazing the service is fast and reliable and they always make you feel at home.
Consistently great food, thoughtful service from the staff, and a nice place to eat and catch a good cross section of Murphysboro folks. I have a handful of restaurants I love for Mexican cuisine and El Jalisco is in my top 3!
