  • At just under $10 this was my most expensive IDS meal to date, but it was worth it. I had the Jalisco - and yes Carol, I know the "j" is pronounced as an "h", and no, I still don't care. The meal consister of steak strips, geen peppers, onions, bacon & tomatos, served with tortillas. I may be forgetting a few ingredients, but it's the bacon that seperates the Jaliscos from the Fajitas I think.
    Here's a hint: As a general rule of thumb, I advise you to go w/ a bacon dish whenever possible at an IDS sactioned restaurant.

    Sevice was slow, but hey, that means less work for the day!

    Added bonus: I got to see Nate choke down a burrito filled with what looked to be charcoal nuggets!

    El Reboso is a staple in my family as my in-laws eat there all the time. That being said, I wasn't a fan (outside of the bitchin' jukebox)...until now.

    Ryan and I both had the El Jalisco, but I opted for the chihuahua cheese and NO tomatoes, while he went cheeseless WITH tomatoes. Two great tastes...same low ($8 or so) price.

    So far, this is the only place I flirted with going over the $10 limit...but it was worth it.

    SOME ADVICE: Don't get a fountain Coke as El Reboso is unique that it has bottled Coke from Mexico. You know...the kind with the REAL sugar!
