Best WLM Reviews

Absolutely the best meal I've had the whole week that I have been in Forest City
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.
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.
Great food. Good salsa. Friendly service. Prices are very fair.
Enjoyed a delicious meal while visiting Forest City. Well prepared meal and friendly service.
My family needed somewhere to eat before heading back to Minneapolis after burying our grandmother in Woden and Ay Jalisco accommodated us even though we had a party of 20 and they had one person on staff. They insisted we stay and they called in two other cooks to help. I got the Super Fajitas which were phenomenal. Great food and customer service. Highly recommend.
Believe it or not, this Mexican restaurant was very good despite being in Iowa. The portions were very large and spicy enough for the Iowans who enjoyed it. The margaritas was also grande and well done. Will definitely go back.
