Try one of their tamales; they are really different from the "standard" Mexican style, and really, really good. One word of warning I would offer about the place is that the service can be a bit "relaxed" at times. The wait staff are quite attentive and responsive, but the kitchen seems to have fairly limited capacity. If there are more than a few people in the restaurant, you may have to wait a bit longer than "normal" for your order(s) to arrive, so plan accordingly. In my experience, there's no such thing as a "quick lunch" at Ay Jalisco. I would think this might make it more charming and authentic, but it *can* be a source of irritation to those in a hurry...
