Great atmosphere from the minute you walk in. Everyone is friendly and works with a purpose. Food is great to match. You can't beat this place.

Much like an Mexican Restaurant in NE Ohio (or anywhere else I've been) the decor is on par with sombreros and Jaritos bottles lining the half walls. Waitstaff was quick to greet and seat us. Everyone we encountered from hostess to waitress to cashier were friendly and helpful. My go to is always the chicken fajita. It's one of my most favorite dishes that I just can't replicate at home. Very flavorful, cooked to perfection and plenty of rice and beans on the side to fill the shells with yummy goodness. The bathroom? Nice and clean!!! Yay!

Austintown location is better!Stopped by El Jala (I shorten it because I'm hip) in Niles. The setup is way similar to their place in A-town. Vivid colors on the walls, Jarritos pop bottles on the ledges between booths serve as decor. Staff is affable and on point; the food is where it trips up a tad. It isn't terrible by any means, but the flavors are inferior to the location on Mahoning Ave. My La Oaxaqueña entree (number 55 on the menu if you're keeping score) was good, but not great. Steak wasn't nearly as tender as it should be, and the seasoning was lacking. Also, the salsa served with the nachos sucks. The free table salsa in Ohio is nearly always bad. Why is this the case? I couldn't cook a dish as good tonight's (just pretty decent) entree La Oaxaqueña, yet I can whip up a salsa that kicks what I was just served down a flight of stairs.Still, El Jalapeño is a good choice if you're in the area and have a hankering for Mexican food. Just don't make the mistake of comparing it to the superior location in Austintown.

This is by far the best mexican restauarant in the area. It is a pseudo-franchise with a few partner restaurants such as El Jalapeno II, Senior Jalapeno, and a few others.Their food is absolutely delicious and has by far the best bang for your buck. It is not gourmet or heavily authentic, but has just enough notes to nail everything.All of their salsas and sauces are impeccable and I havent had a meal I havent enjoyed yet.
