A Mexican restaurant and a cafe are opening on President right off 5th Avenue, both coming to spaces that have hosted short-lived businesses in the past. (Hopefully this new crop will have better luck!) The Mexican restaurant, El Jalapeno, will open in the space formerly occupied by Delicious on the Slope, on the west side of the avenue. El Jalapeno’s menu will have items like burritos ($9.95-$12.95), enchiladas ($7.95-$10.95) and other standard Mexican fare, most of it around the $10 mark for entrees. The owners say they plan to open by the end of next week. On the east side of 5th avenue, meanwhile, signage has gone up announcing that a place called Cafe DuCharme will open soon. The space was previously home to the Oak shoe store and, more recently, the Scandinavian Grace Kafe. GMAP
