The white stucco walls, Saltillo tile floors, and high ceilings invoke the feel of a Mexican hacienda. Jalisco serves a reliable selection of basic Mexican dishes such as ceviche, carnitas, carne adobada, and grilled meats. The rice and beans here are first-rate, although sometimes the food can be a little greasy. The bar here has earned a reputation for its happy hour tequila slammers and lively mariachi music.
