DINING REVIEW

Ay Jalisco: Out of guacamole, cabernet ... and excuses

BY TINA RONDEAU
Columnist

Once upon a time, we liked Ay Jalisco.
This was never, as the restaurant
boasted, “outstanding Mexican fare,”
but for a basic Tex-Mex fix – nachos, faji-
tas, enchiladas – it was not bad.
After the main Vero outpost of Ay
Jalisco moved a year ago from Miracle
Mile to its new home on U.S. 1, we found
it so disappointing we decided not to
write a review.
But we returned last week to give it
another try, and found things had actu-
ally gone downhill – so far south, in fact,
we decided in fairness to readers to re-
count our experience.
The evening got off to an astonishing
start when we saw the sign on the front
door saying, “We are out of guacamole.”
