My food was served cold and when we told the server we were laughed at. Not sure whats funny about paying $14 for some tacos that were cold. Will not return.

Was traveling through Lexington, stopped to eat here. Service was excellent, food was disappointing. The taco salad came with spinach, carrots and ranch with chunks of avocado. No sour cream, guacamole...none of the normal stuff you find in a Mexican taco salad. Wife's food was dry and not enjoyable. Doubtful to return. For $32 for my wife and I to eat, I expected better.

My family has been eating at Jalapeno's since they opened on New Circle Road in the 70s. I also ate there regularly with my IBM lunch bunch a lot during the 80s. And then even more after my son was born in 1996. And now I eat at South Broadway location regularly. I'd say an average of once a month, sometimes once a week, for all these years. It's been consistently great service, very good food, and it's just a very welcoming place. If something isn't right, they make it right. The place is always very clean, and the service is really fast for meals that are prepared to order. I'm a very very picky eater, and for example, we ate there this week for my nephew's 36th birthday (he picks Jalapeno's every year for his bday dinner) and I wanted something I just made up - rice with grilled chicken, and their queso, and some tomatos added in; it was delicious. The staff knows our family and what we order and who wants no quac, who wants extra sour cream, who wants their drink in a To Go cup, and a bag for the leftover chips. It's just a very service oriented establishment that is our whole family's GO TO place, our THIRD place, if you will. The owner/manager is almost always there, but there is no need as all of the staff have been with him for many many years! And they have Game Day specials! Oh and their marguaritas are exceptional. And in good weather, the patio seating is awesome. They also go out of their way to accommodate both my parents on walkers/wheelchairs.
Wheelchair accessibility: Both my parents have to sit near door or outside and they always help us.

Warning: I had to spend several hours with my daughter in the ER at UK after she had a bite the enchiladas with mole sauce. They use peanut in the sauce and it's not on the menu. I would think a restaurant that's been around this long would know better.

Food was very bad. Chips tasted like oil. Unfortunately, this was the worst queso I’ve ever had:/. I was so excited to try this place. Chicken tacos had no flavor, I couldn’t even finish one of them. Quesadillas had a bad after taste. Servers super super nice. Did not check in after food was delivered. Waited a long time for check.
