El Jalapeno Mexican Restaurant

Welcome to El Jalapeno Mexican Restaurant, a vibrant culinary gem nestled at 5125 Youngstown Warren Rd, Niles, OH 44446. This establishment is far more than just another spot for a meal; it’s a celebration of authentic Mexican flavors that transport you straight to the heart of Mexico.

As a food reviewer at Cafe Encore, I’m always on the lookout for places that not only serve great food but also provide a genuinely warm and inviting atmosphere. El Jalapeno excels in both these areas. From the moment you step through the doors, you are enveloped in the rich aromas of traditional Mexican cuisine and greeted by friendly staff who treat you like family.

Now, let’s talk about the menu, a delightful assortment of traditional Mexican dishes that cater to both adventurous eaters and those who prefer milder options. A standout among the offerings is the Super Burrito With Steak ($15.99), a generous and satisfying dish that combines perfectly grilled steak wrapped in a warm tortilla. If you’re in the mood for tacos, don't miss the Tacos Al Carbon — three soft corn tortillas filled with tender strips of grilled steak, complemented by fried beans, rice, and pico de gallo for just $17.99.

Vegetarians and spinach lovers will rejoice over the Popeye's Enchilada ($14.99), featuring two spinach enchiladas topped with gooey melted cheese, served with rice and sour cream salad. And seafood fans? You’re in for a treat with the Seafood Molecajete ($41.99), a hot stone bowl brimming with grilled shrimp, fish, scallops, crab, and a medley of vegetables, all interlaced with a blanket of savory cheese dip. It's a feast for the senses!

Appetizers like the Queso Fundido ($9.50) and the Mexican Cheesy Rice ($7.50) give guests a perfect introduction to the meal, while the Jalapeño Toreados ($7.99) provides a zesty kick that will leave you craving more.

The customer reviews speak volumes. With accolades for the *great food, fast service,* and *family-friendly atmosphere*, guests have shared their delicious experiences time and again.

    The food is great, and even if you're like me and don't like spicy food, they have some options to suit your taste. The service is attentive and fast. Great family place!
