My favorite place to eat in Johnstown. They give you so much good food for a low price. Great dessert too!

Great Mexican food and very friendly staff. Am so glad the three restaurants bring a touch of authentic Mexican food to Johnstown. read more

Walked in 30 minutes early for our reservation and already our table set nicely in the warm corner. Got seated and where immediately served warm tortilla chips and salsa. Both where great. Ordered two classic margaritas of which went down smooth. Dinner was ordered and everyone enjoyed their dinners hot and all at the same time. Difficult to time 7 different dinners and was impressed with the quality of the food. If you're looking for good Mexican food, great service and reasonable prices this is the place for you. Only four stars as a small bar and better seating would push it to five. read more

Used to be pretty good but went for lunch recently & the food was tasteless. So bland not at all like Mexican food should taste. Wish we had some authentic Mexican food here. read more

Staying At a local hotel? Order here for some great grub! We have the nachos, and the Carne Asada which was great. I'd recommend this place to anyone. read more

Great authentic Mexican. Great menu, great drink menu, food is delicious and service is fast and attentive. One of my favorites.

Good food, good prices, quick service. My favorite Mexican restaurant in town. Every time I go, the servers are kind and helpful. The chips & salsa are delicious, and the food comes relatively quickly so you aren't waiting long. They're good on drink refills. The food is always good and hot, and they let you customize what youd like on your items. No rush to get out, and the deserts are unique and delicious. Over all for what you get it's easily affordable. Would very much recommend. read more

Love the food here. I have never ordered/ate anything here that I did not really enjoy . Definitely recommend this Mexican restaurant. I would give it ten stars if I could! read more

So my kids and I came into town yesterday evening and I was incredibly hungry. I picked up my cousin and she suggested El Jalisco. Their menu was a novel. If you have a craving for something, it's likely on page 2 or 3. Thankfully I was prepared to order shrimp fajitas without rice, beans, or tortillas my taste buds did not miss the carbs; the shrimp and vegetables were cooked to perfection and the guacamole made briefly do the "this is delicious" dance in my seat. If you're in the mood for Mexican food, I highly suggest this place. There is something for everyone, even my picky low carb self! read more

The only reason the review for this place isn't 5 stars is that I had called to make a reservation about 40 minutes before we were planning to come in, and I was told on the phone "no problem" we got there and there were two huge parties that weren't even close to finishing, so we had to wait over a half hour. If you were just up front with me, we would have just come later and not spent a half hour standing outside waiting to eat. At least if there was bar to wait at, but space inside is tight, so we were relegated to the parking lot. Food is so cheap! and good! The green mole sauce is delicious. I had a bulldog, the margarita mix left something to be desired, tasted a little too "Master of Mixes" for me. Your best bet for Mexican in Johnstown for sure. read more

This place has gone down hill since Rey Azteca closed. I think one or more cooks moved from Rey Azteca. Cheese dip is not supposed to be so spicy it makes your head explode. Refried beans also are not supposed to be spicy. They need to rethink what the bulk of their clientele likes. read more

This is by far the best Mexican restaurant I've ever eaten at. Was recommended to me on a trip there about 4 years ago and was out there again recently and went there again. Nothing has changed, still simply the best Mexican food ever and some awesome friendly service. read more

This place is amazing. I eat here as often as possible. I love the burritos verdes, but you can't go wrong here.

It isn't too often Yelp lets me down but this is one of those times. I ordered the carnitas and it was like a bland green stew. Pale pork chunks floating in a salty (but otherwise flavorless) salsa verde soup. My husband ordered something else that ended up being the same basic dish but with chicken instead of pork. I'm always skeptical of reviews of Mexican restaurants in rural towns and the good rating on this restaurant reminded me why. read more

I'm not the biggest fan of any foreign food, but this Mexican restaurant is awesome! I FINALLY found a new place to eat lunch at every week! Everyone gets free chips and salsa, the food always comes out hot and the decor is pretty awesome too. It's a must try. read more

El Jalisco - Fajita Salad - Mexican Near Me - Cambria, Pennsylvania

One of the best Mexican food restaurants I've eaten at in pa I live in greensburg but it's worth the drive Reasonable prices good tasting food and never a bad experience I'd recommend it to anyone read more

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! read more

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. read more

El Jalisco - Inside El Jalisco - Mexican Near Me - Cambria, Pennsylvania

This is just another ray azteca so very bland nothing fresh everything canned. I personally will opt to make my be own Mexican food at home. This just doesn't cut it for me. Why can't Johnstown have another Mexican option other than 3 rey aztecas (with different names)?!? read more

Such good food at such decent prices - we love this place! I especially recommend El Jalisco on a gray wintry day when you'd sooner sleep forever than venture outside. Walking in on those days is like Dorothy stepping out of her farmhouse and into the world of Technicolor. Instant light and warmth and joy! My husband's been to Mexico a lot, and while he still pines for taco trucks and abuelas making dinner, this place makes him happy. read more

Food poisoning ! I hate to be the one to post this review but I care too much about you all to let you go and eat here without warning. El Jalisco came highly recommended by my coworkers and I finally had the opportunity to check this place out. I ordered a salad and a margarita. The margarita was ok but not worth 9 dollars and the salad, which came with guacamole and cheese didn't taste right but I ate it anyway, dumb move. Now I feel as though I have been poisoned and have crapped every bit of everything out of me except the ecoli that's still running through me. The salad was unwashed and the guacamole tasted like old eggs. Thank God I only took a couple of bites of it and put it aside. The server was curt and seemed to be too busy to deal with us. The guy at the register was really nice. So I had one drink and one small salad and that cost about 25.00 with a tip and now I am at home swollen and dehydrated and if I ever poop again it will be too soon. read more

This is my favorite place to eat in town! The salsa is so delicious and the dishes are always consistent and wonderful!

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. read more

Very nice, great selection of food, margaritas are large. Offers carryout if your not in the mood to dine in. Staff is very friendly and so polite. Their Chimichangas are delicious and actually at a decent price very large for what you pay. Authentic Mexican cuisine! read more

Awsome - we lived in Texas for over 35 years and ate at some of the most iconic Mexican eateries in the state - this place will match up to any of them!!!! Alex D(from OHIO, A TRULY SOUTH OF THE BORDER EXPERT!!!! LMAO!!!) doesn't know what she is talking about. Stay at the Taco Bell Chica!!! The service here is great - always prompt and courteous. The food is excellent- every time!!! We eat here quite often and have NEVER had anything other than a great experience! Thank you, El Jalicso, for showing Johnstown what real Mexican food is all about!! read more

Amazing food for a great price. Fast and friendly service. The enchilada supreme is my favorite! And I can't leave without fried cheesecake for dessert :) 10/10 recommend. read more

Large menu. Complimentary chips and salsa were tasty. I ordered the chicken diablo (chicken , spinach , mushrooms, onions and tomatoes covered in a cheese sauce) and served with rice and beans. It was decent. My husband ordered the fajita quesadilla and liked it. Their dessert menu was bigger than some other Mexican restaurants. Our server was attentive and spoke Spanish to us. Would go back there to eat. read more

So traveling from Arizona I found this place next to my hotel. Walking distance easily. I've had my share of good and bad Mexican food and this is definitely at the top. I had the chimichangas which I typically find are a burrito size deep fried. These were more enchilada size, two of them, lightly fried. Really really good. The refried beans are puréed which made them smooth and creamy. On par with most anything from the southwest. Also great atmosphere and clean facilities. read more

Very disappointed. They messed my taco up twice. Waiter said that is has been a problem lately. I still paid full price for the meal, even though I couldn`t eat the taco. How hard is it to actually take care of your customers? They should have made it right read more

Solid restaurant. Generally good service and good food. The food comes out SUPER quick, which makes this restaurant a great place to go for a quick lunch. We also get pickup from them quite often. I wish they had a chipotle menu item, though! read more

Really good chips and salsa, the guacamole is bomb. Order a coffee, you won't be disappointed. The burritos verdes is my favorite, always consistent, always good. Friendly staff and the service is quick! You're usually eating your entrée within 10 min of sitting down and ordering. read more

Best mexican food!!! To start, the chips and salsa are always great and the cheese dip is amazing. My favorite entrees are the chicken and cheese flautas and the Mexican burrito (lunch menu). The margaritas are also great. The prices are very good, especially for the amount of food you get. Service is typically very quick, especially during the week. One of my favorite spots!!! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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

I love Mexican food, and have been meaning to stop @ this place. Thought they couldn't be better than Rey Azteca. They are. Not only that, the decor is incredible. Our waiter was very professional and courteous and the food was excellent. Quick service, excellent quality. Will definately be back! P.S. Couldn't believe, even for 3pm or so; it wasn't more crowded. Hidden gem! read more

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! read more

Great little restaurant. Very accommodating with food allergies, friendly staff, cool decor and excellent food. Best chips in the city!
