ask the state dept.
I would try looking for a website that reviews the area for vacation. I would also try asking friends who visited there, or even try asking the vacation company in which you were considering that goes there.

I actually just got back from Mexico and as long as you go to a more tourist place such as mazatlan or Puerto Vallarta you should be fine, but just don't go to Juarez there is a lot of shootings and the police are very corrupt there.

Jalisco is a state the size of Nebraska. Some cities are safer than others. For example, Puerto Vallarta or Chapala are quite safe, with many American and Canadian expats living there. On the other hand, a large city such as Guadalajara (pop: 4.4 million) can be much less safer due to its large size and all problems associated with such large metropolises.
