El Jalapeños Authentic Mexican Restaurant, Cleveland OH

Nice layout and service.though out of the dishes ordered, like only the rice and beans. Chicken wings were too sour as also the Cocktail Margherita wheres Pina-colada was way too sweet with a pungent taste of coconut

If your craving mexican and you happen to be right there then its okay. But there is much better choices a short distance away

Food was fine, service was bad. We went on Sunday and after our waitress took our food order, she never came back. Our food was brought out by the kitchen staff and our waitress never came to check that our orders were correct (luckily, they were!), refill drinks or chips, ask if we needed anything, etc. We would have ordered more margaritas, but never had the opportunity. We all ran out of water. I'm disappointed with the experience and would not go back. The food was good, but on par with other Mexican restaurants in the area.

One of my all time favourite places for Mexican food in Cleveland/Lakewood. Many of the locals love this place AND the staff run it very smoothly. The best recommendations are the burritos and chimichangas

Food was good but I feel like because I asked for something well seasoned, they over did it.

Al Pastor Tacos are. I'm from New Mexico and these are the best al pastor I've had outside the 505/575!

Fantastic Mexican food right in Cleveland. We have sat inside and ordered to-go. Each time is hot and fresh. One of our favorite places to go!

Stumbled upon this gem today. Working in the area and another popular mexican restaurant was closed for lunch so I tried El Jalapenos. Got the order to go and everyone was super friendly. I consider myself a food critic and I enjoyed every bite. I'll be back!

I enjoyed the restaurant. Food was a little bland and server was occupied with a larger group, so I'm not going to hold that against her unless it happens again. Front door was locked, use the side door.

This place is horrible. I ordered a margarita and it came served to me with a roach in my drink. I was so disgusted. Never again. And i do not recommend this place to anyone. When i notified the server he said "oh not good. Ill get you another drink" i had to tell him i didnt want anything as i was telling him how disgusted I was. So horrible DO NOT EAT AT EL JALAPENO

This was my 1st time going there and it was just beautiful. The decorations is simply beautiful. The food is delicious and it's enough for 2 people. The margaritas are excellent. You have to try the one call monster. I was really, really impressed. I'm going back again

Great 1st experience! Food was great service was good can't complain.highly recommend having the margaritas

My fave Mexican restaurant in Lakewood! I love all the different paintings on the chairs and booth benches- how they are all so detailed and unique instead of multiple mass produced replication pieces of art. Restroom needs a little TLC. Food is authentic and so tasty! We enjoyed sharing the chicken quesadilla and steak fajitas. The chili relleno is fantastic! Enjoyed a strawberry banana margarita too! If you order fried ice cream be prepared its gigantic! But wonderful presentation and so tasty! Came here with my Mother last time (been here many many times before) and we had a wonderful time! Staff are so pleasant and attentive! Great experience!

A cozy place and very good service.
