Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

This place is fantastic, authentic, and dirt cheap. It's a great place to come with family or friends as they are capable of handling larger parties. They have a large selection of booths as well if you're looking for a more private dining experience. Complimentary unlimited chips and salsa come with every meal, and the salsa is absolutely delicious with the perfect amount of heat. Chips are always fresh and hot. They make a decent margarita, although tell them to go lite on the sour mix so that you don't leave with that gross in-the-back-of-your-throat gaggy feeling. I love the chile rellenos. You can get them with chicken, and it comes shredded over the peppers topped with a delicious cojito cheese sauce. An order of 3 chile rellenos is only $5 and very filling. I love the shrimp fajitas as well as the veggie fajitas. The veggie variety comes with bell peppers, onions, tomatoes, mushrooms, and loads of zucchini. Yum! There are a variety of lunch and dinner combo options, and all are inexpensive. So, if you are looking for a variety, this is the way to go. The ambience is festive and welcoming. The hostess is very warm and kind, and I've never had bad service here. If you're looking for delicious, super affordable food, this is a can't miss!

I hate it when all the southern transplants come out and bash every northern Hispanic eatery. Yes anyone who has been down south or out west KNOWS that the Mexican is a million times better there. I know you're disappointed, but do shut up. Mexican places around here tone it down for the meat and potatoes local folks that dare to mix it up and eat their food. Is that wise? I don't know, but that's how it is. I love spice and lots of flavor, but I also know tons of people that don't. So I'm sure Mexican restaurants feel they can't afford not to appeal to the majority. But if people here think it's authentic, it's because they don't know any better. To them authentic means: "I've never been to Mexico but it tastes the way I think Mexican food ought to taste". Leave them alone. Mexican in the North is kind of like McDonald's in other countries. The further away from the motherland, the less American the menu becomes. People like what is familiar to them. Rating this restaurant FAIRLY based on other restaurants in the region, (not in the entire country), it's a decent Mexican restaurant. Margaritas are delicious. I got pollo con crema with Pico de Gallo on the side. I'm happy to see more restaurants introducing avocados into their pico. It's delicious! Our waiter was super friendly and helpful. Everyone I was with liked their meal. And the prices are really reasonable. Authentic? Certainly not. Good if you're not expecting to feel like you've been transported to Mexico? Yes.

Another great Mexican restaurant from the same people that brought you Rey Azteca! It's great to have two really decent Mexican restaurants so close to each other. Mind you this isent street style Mexican but beggers can't be choosers in central PA when it comes to Mexican food.

Literally a carbon copy of Rey Azteca - what like 2 miles away? Better location and nicer atmosphere. Chicken and cheese flautas are a favorite. Chicken com creama is good but not as good as the flautas. Get queso with your chips - yum. Margs - nice size and good price - a little sweet for me which works bc I just keep watering it down which makes it go the distance while tasting better. Dammit now I want el jalisco.

Bland- where is the spice- where is the flavor? Salsa tasted like ketchup, the relleno was- I'm not sure what it was- but it was like Taco Bell meat on top of a chilie- that was undercooked and inedible. This is not authentic. It may be nice for PA, but coming from New Mexico- this is anything but. Decor was nice, staff was? Hostess on phone, no apology for the chicken bone I found in my flauta. Overall- not good and I won't be back- but maybe I'm just spoiled since I've been in NEw Mexico for 10 years. That's probably more likely.

Fast service- good food. Whether it's El Jalisco or it's sister restaurant, Rey Azteca, the food is the same at both- and it's good, hot and fast. The service is always decent.

Went here due to the nice ratings on Yelp... We were Not disappointed. Atmosphere was nice and food was very good! Good prices also. If you are interested in Authentic Mexican you wont be disappointed.

I was on business in Johnstown and had the urge for some Mexican. Jalisco just so happened to be right next door to my hotel. Upon entering the restaurant I was pleasantly surprised. Nice happy decor, clean, smelled good. The wait staff was very friendly and prompt. I ordered the lunch taquitos and even though it was after lunch they still allowed me to order. Good flavor. Pretty much in line with the other mexican restaurant chains. I will return.

Went here on a Sunday afternoon and found the place hoppin! For a supposedly "authentic" restaurant though, why are all the servers non-Hispanic? Decor was kitchy and food just so-so. Still, I'll give El Jalisco 3 stars 'cause I don't want to diss a Johnstown business when there are so few good dining options in the area.

My husband uncle brought us here. We have a similar place where we live in Maryland. Tasty, authentic mexican food. I had a shrimp dish that was way delicious!
(5)Raymond S.
Delicious food made quick at a low cost. Very clean environment and friendly staff. The free chips and salsa makes sure you start satisfying your hunger right away. Alcohol is also served here as well as soda from Mexico. Great place to take the family or friends!
(5)Ryan S.
I love this place as does my wife. I always get the steak fajitas and the food quality is excellent and more importantly consistent. Everything I've ever eaten off my wife or daughter's plate has been very good too. The service has always been top notch too.

First time here and I was very pleased with the service, food and atmosphere. A likeable restaurant with charm.

Very good, pretty authentic Mexican food in a town that's short on good food. Service is quick. I had the chicken mole and it was very good. The margarita was made from a so so mix, unfortunately.

The environment at El Jalisco is just one of my favorite things about this new restaurant. The tables and high-backed booths are beautiful. The staff is attentive and efficient, and so far very friendly. Like big brother Rey Azteca, the food is delicious and very inexpensive. As of this post, they do not yet serve alcohol, but you are welcome to bring your own in.
(4)Bee S.
I liked this place a lot. The booths and chairs have very colorful paintings on them and Mexican music that give the place a lot of charm. It was clean and happy. The waiter came quickly and the food was served fast. They have an extensive menu and a section for vegetarian dishes (yay). I ordered the veggie fajita and it was delicious, as were the table chips and salsa. The only problem was that the condiment plate with the fajitas had a handful of cheese and melted cheese on the beans -- ugh -- but they were replaced quickly with no cheese versions. The only criticism I can think of was the cook used far too much oil to cook the veggies. The iron plate was literally dripping with it after my meal. I think if I had the foresight to remember to tell them no cheese and back way off on the grease it would have been just great. I intend on going back and trying every veg plate they offer.

Great service! Great fresh food! Accommodating for food allergies.

El Jalisco exceeds expectations, in ambiance, decor and food. The service was attentive despite the fact that the restaurant was quite busy during my visit. The menu covers your general Mexican Food dishes commonly found in American restaurants with a number of extra dishes less commonly found north of the border.

This place is fantastic. Really fun decor, great food! I'm a vegetarian, and there's a whole section of the menu for me to choose from. My husband and I had a really great meal, and the check was under $20! Wonderful value.
