One of our absolute favorite places for dinner in town! Have been coming here for at least 15 years, every year for my birthday. Jamie is the best!!!! It’s our go-to craving. I get chicken enchiladas or steak carnitas, my husband gets classic poblano chimichanga.

Typical place that serves very well-executed traditional Mexican dishes at low cost. Too bad the air conditioning is always on and it's really cold.

Not good food and ridiculously overpriced for what you get. Typically Mexican restaurants have large quantities, but not at this establishment.

I had to capture the kids “burritos” because it was truly just comical. I have never in my life seen anything like it! $8 for a bite-size burrito, chips with microwaved cheese, and hard refried beans plus $4 for drinks (not included in kids meals anymore?!)

Ended up spending $60 for 2 kids meals that consisted of pretty much nothing, and 3 skimpy shrimp tacos. Won’t be back here.

There may be better places to go, but we always have a good meal, and nice treatment by staff. Prices are comparable to other places.

Parking: After 8pm I think it's free. You could end up parking a few blocks away in either direction.

I left here feeling I ate something that didn't taste, good, wasn't healthy and I overpaid. This place wasn't bad it just definitely was not good for what I paid. A little design overhaul and improving the food quality would go a long way.

This was the worst restaurant experience I've had in years. The food was gross to the point of inedible. The fish in the fish tacos was so old I could smell it when it arrived at a table 2 tables away. The service was epically slow. It took 1 full hour from when we ordered entrees to when we were served. 0/10 do not go.

My experience at Jalapeno's was fantastic! The food is delicious, and the staff is incredibly friendly and attentive. The owners are always present and go out of their way to be helpful. I particularly recommend trying the chimichanga it's a must-get dish that adds an extra layer of flavor to your dining experience. Whether you're a regular or a first-time visitor, Jalapeno's offers great food and a welcoming atmosphere that keeps you coming back for more.

I came here years ago and thought I remembered that it was good. I don’t know what changed but the food was horrible. Even the soda machine didn’t work. Shredded chicken tasted like it was cooked in dirty water. Salsa was all tomato’s with no flavor. Chimichanga wasn’t even fried and cheese sauce was flavorless. Even my kids couldn’t eat the chicken quesadillas because the chicken was so bad. Avoid this place.
