We just missed the lunch crowd and sat at the bar. Ordered our beers, and they brought chips & salsa right away. Really good chips. I am sure they were not homemade but they were fresh & warm. ( I find, most of the time, chips are stale). We then ordered the Shrimp tacos which were full of flavor. Very tasty. We don't live in the area.... but, definitely worth the stop. It's right next to a Road Ranger fuel/Truck stop. Easy peazy.

Absolutely delicious Mexican food in Murphysboro. Loved it. Previous visits to the area we have…read moregone to a Mexican restaurant in Carbondale with a liquor license - thinking that that El Jalisco did not have the same. Glad to know we were wrong. Delicious margaritas - and - the quesabirria tacos? Oh my goodness - I can't get enough. SOOOO delicious. We were there with three adults and one toddler. Two of us devoured the quesabirria and could not stop raving about how delicious they were. Rick enjoyed a burrito - and the chips and salsa kept the ten month old in our party very happy. Will definitely be back on our next trip to Murphysboro. And while I love to try different dishes - the memory of that quesabirria taco has me salivating. Ohhhh - so good!

We brought it up to our server and he immediately said it wasn't anyone's hair because it didn't appear black. My hair was pulled up and my partners is very short. We went back and forth with the server which I think is unprofessional and he came back with the check with only 10% off. We had just got off the lake and wanted some good food and it was not worth our time or money:(

Thus, we were hesitant...but hungry with little expectations. Upon entry, we were pleasantly surprised to hear Mexican music and Spanish speakers in the back. I had hope! Although the salsa was bland (& I avoid spicy), we shared the taco plate and a nachos. We were not disappointed. However, I recommend skipping the mojito entirely- I had to send it back. And yes, i know mojito is a cuban drink. They knew we weren't from town, lol- so we got to talking and learned they had roots from Mexico, then grew up not terribly far from me in Ca. He admitted they've had to adjust the way they make some items due to the mid-west clientele they have who aren't used to anything remotely authentic.

Ummm ... first question would be:…read more 1) Would the owner invite their own family to eat here for a special occasion? Probably not. The sauce tasted like it was out of a can but watered down. 2) Do the employees feel embarrassed serving " authentic Mexican" food here. Most likely they would make a better meal at home. I do have to say the service was on point, maybe a little too much but that could be considered not a bad thing. 3) the ambiance was fast food Mexican style, trying to be a fancy Mexican restaurant. Eventually I may try this place again but no I decided I would just cook for myself. I would suggest that the owner have the employees make dishes and present them for future menu items instead of just going with the flow.

Continue south a couple of miles on IL 130 to the middle of nowhere and it is there that you, my friend, will find Mis Tres, a cantina oasis in the middle of corn. Mis Tres is by every measure a Tex Mex like any other you will find stamped into nearly every single small town and city in Southern Illinois, with a couple of exceptions. The portions they serve are quite generous. Much food will be served to you. Although the guacamole seemed to turn a little gray. Likewise, this is a very large place. Complete with booths, long tables, a bar, Mis Tres would make a great location for a large party. Food is typical Tex Mex menu, with no surprises or frills, but quite good. I'll also mention Mis Tres is very clean and tidy, a feat for how large the space is. Bright, cantina theme happening inside. Recommend! And happy Cinco!
