Casa Jalisco
About
Casa Jalisco is a Mexican restaurant and taqueria on West Lionshead Circle, with a long menu of combination plates with rice and beans, burritos, enchiladas, chiles rellenos, fajitas and a house arroz con pollo. The restaurant describes its food as authentic Mexican, with street tacos and burritos at the center.
It suits families, groups and skiers who want a filling, reasonably priced meal in Lionshead, and anyone on a schedule the rest of town ignores, since the kitchen runs through the afternoon rather than closing between lunch and dinner.
The menu
Combination plates pair two items, such as an enchilada and tamale or a burrito and taco, with rice, beans and pico de gallo, and most cost under 20 dollars. House specialties run from arroz con pollo, which the menu calls its signature, to carnitas de res, chile verde pork and a fiery pollo a la diabla. Starters include nachos, queso, chorizo con queso fundido and several quesadillas, including a shrimp version.
Lunch
A separate lunch menu from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. trims most prices by one to four dollars and adds breakfast plates: huevos rancheros, a breakfast burrito and scrambled eggs with chorizo or bacon. That makes it a good option for a late-morning Mexican breakfast.
Groups and events
The restaurant hosts private dinners and events of different sizes and asks groups to call for available dates.
