ABOUT US
Chef Gerardo Hernandez left a part of his heart in his hometown of Jalisco, Mexico, after moving to California when he was only 7 years old. After relocating to Wisconsin, he ran a food cart with his wife Brooke, before opening Jalisco on King in beautiful downtown Madison. With a goal of bringing the vibrant food and culture of Mexico to Madison, Gerardo and Brooke have created a lively spot with excellent food, drinks, and service.


Known for its vibrant atmosphere, the restaurant features a diverse menu filled with traditional dishes such as enchiladas, tacos, and mole, all crafted from fresh ingredients and bold flavors. With exceptional service and a warm ambiance, dining here is not just a meal but an experience that immerses you in Mexican culture. Whether you're visiting for a casual lunch of a festive dinner, Jalisco Cocina Mexicana is a must-visit for any food lover.
