Excellent food at a good price. The decor is pretty good too. They have a red sauce on the entrees we ordered which was very good as well. I thought it enhanced the flavor quite a bit. Excellent service too. Large portions. You won’t leave hungry.

On a chilly day in early April, we ducked into Ay Jalisco, not certain what we would find so far north of the border. I mean, we’re in IOWA. What a wonderful surprise to find such tasty Mexican food! So fresh! The salads were crisp. The hot food was hot. My wife had the Huevos Rancheros and I ordered the same, but with chorizo instead. Great meal. Excellent service. Highly recommend this if you come to Forest City, Iowa (the home of Winnebago campers). We come each year for a checkup on our Winnebago, so we will be back for another meal at Ay Jalisco! Oh! I forgot the Tacos Carnitas! Muy Bueno!
UPDATE! We returned for two more meals during this same visit to Forest City. Same great good. Same great service. I added pix of the Fajita Salad, the Chili Relleno, and the Chicken Fajitas. Wonderful! Great crispy tacos, too.

The steak in the burrito tasted rancid. I immediately spit it out. I told the waitress and she said it was the marinade (which I don’t believe) and offered to bring something else. Against my better judgement I ordered pork tacos. When they came the cilantro on top was slimy and rotten. I didn’t even take a bite bc at this point I had no appetite. After reading some of the other reviews about this place I am praying the rest of my family doesn’t get food poisoning.

Waited 20 minutes to get our drink order taken. An hour later food finally comes out. Everything is ice cold. Fajitas are ice cold, where does that happen? Not only that it’s half a plate for $15. Told the waitress and she walks off with it and says “I’ll take it off”. Terrible service. Been over 5 minutes since they brought out 2 plates and we’re still waiting on the 3rd. This place used to be good but has gone downhill significantly in the last year.

Rice and beans were reheated in a microwave in the to go tray, you could tell. The chimichanga was fire though, and the Pico was very tasty.

We eat here every couple of years when we visit Forest City. In the past the food has been excellent. This time around it was just average. The service was fast and the people were very friendly.

1st time eating here. Very old building but they’ve decorated it ok. Clean with fast service. I had the shrimp cocktail soup. It was sooo good. big shrimp and great flavor. My spouse had Pollo Loco and it was very good also. We also had jalapeño poppers that were very good.

We are in town for Camp Winnebago. This place was listed on Google Maps as closed temporarily, so we were glad to see that they were open this week. The menu selections are good with reasonable prices and the drinks were very cold. A+

It’s a nice looking restaurant with friendly owners and reasonable prices. The chimichanga Blanco is tasty.

Actually from Washington, I travel back to Forest City to visit family. Unfortunately we stopped here for a bite to eat. I could say the prices was okay is to be a small town. Nothing special 2 servings of nachos. The service in general wasn’t the best could be considered rude at most, waited almost over 20 minutes for nachos shouldn’t take that long. My mother actually got food poisoning a day later, she honestly said that it was probably the nachos and I didn’t consider it. I ate my serving a day later and also got food poisoning. Meaning that this restaurant is very unhygienic. I was told before by old friends in the area that they have roaches recently most likely from the apartments upstairs. The owner is nowhere to be found for complaints and only speak Spanish. I speak a little Spanish myself and the family member that he had translator blatantly lied about what was said. I don’t understand how this business is still open when now just reading the other comments and others have the same experience over the years was having severe food poisoning. Honestly I would not recommend this restaurant if you value your health, the food’s not the best at jeopardize that. Do you have a better chance going to other restaurants here in town that you’re less likely to get food poisoning and being blakely lied too about the quality.
