If you’ve been searching for a local Mexican restaurant, Tequila Jalisco is here to answer some of the most common questions we hear from our guests.

At Tequila Jalisco, we understand that authentic Mexican food may not be everyone’s first choice, but you never know until you try it.

Our menu is carefully made to tell a narrative of tradition, culture, and genuine flavors. However, dietary restrictions or common misconceptions can sometimes keep people from experiencing everything Mexican cuisine has to offer.

With that in mind, we’ve gathered answers to a few frequently asked questions to help put any doubts to rest and determine if our authentic cuisine is right for you.

 

Is Mexican Food Gluten Free?

Regardless of a wheat allergy or a strict gluten-free diet, you can enjoy many traditional Mexican dishes with confidence.

Most authentic Mexican foods are naturally gluten-free because they rely on ingredients like corn, beans, and rice rather than wheat. In addition to our traditional Mexican dishes, we also offer a variety of steaks, soups, and vegetarian dinner options.

Be aware that hidden sources of gluten or cross-contamination are possible in any restaurant. If you have any concerns or dietary limitations,  explore our menu or ask your server for the best recommendation.

 

Debunking a Myth: Not Everything Is Spicy

One of the biggest misconceptions about authentic Mexican food is that everything is spicy—but that’s simply not true.

This belief stems from the use of chiles and traditional spices, which have been part of Mexican cooking for thousands of years. While these ingredients produce bold aromas and strong flavors, they don’t always add heat. Many authentic dishes are flavorful without being spicy.

If spicy food isn’t your style, our servers are always happy to recommend mild dishes you’ll enjoy.

 

What’s the Difference Between Tacos and Street Tacos?

The biggest difference comes down to the ingredients and preparation.

Street tacos are made with small corn tortillas, and typically filled with authentic meats like slow-cooked pork (carnitas) or grilled steak (carne asada). They are then garnished with cilantro, diced white onion, and salsa!

A regular taco is typically served in a flour tortilla or a crunchy yellow corn shell and commonly features seasoned ground beef. American-style tacos are usually loaded with shredded lettuce, cheese, diced tomatoes, and sour cream.
