El Jalisco
About
El Jalisco is a family-owned Mexican restaurant in East Somerville serving traditional dishes made with fresh ingredients. The menu runs from tacos and enchiladas to burritos, quesadillas, fajitas and burrito bowls, with margaritas to go with them. Tacos come three to an order on corn or flour tortillas with rice and beans, in versions such as grilled steak, chicken and al pastor, and sizzling fajitas include a steak, chicken, shrimp and pineapple combination.
Starters include fresh guacamole with homemade chips, esquite, jalapeño cheese dip, sweet plantains topped with house cheese, and nachos with carnitas or chicken tinga. There are also familiar crowd-pleasers like chicken wings, calamari and chicken fingers. Vegetarians can choose a veggie filling of zucchini, squash and broccoli. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the menu changes with the seasons and ingredient availability.
