Hailing from Florida, a popular Mexican chain is making its grand entrance into Alabama very soon. Keep reading for all you need to know about El Jalisco’s newest location on Birmingham’s Valleydale Road.

What’s El Jalisco?

El Jalisco’s mission is to bring authentic Mexican food to each city it expands into, with each location run by a small group of close friends and family.

“The owners have always claimed that the hard work shown by the family, coupled with the will of God is the two largest contributing factors to the success of El Jalisco.”
