Jalapenos Mexican Grill - Lima

LOVE this place!! I lived in Lima all my life and have ate for years, then I moved 4 years ago and miss it so much. Every time I come back to visit I have to eat here. I always say I wish I could buy a franchise and bring one to Michigan with me!!!

This place always has its ups and downs. Never can you expect the same taste or flavor day to day. One day it'll be the best, the next it's not. Depends on the day/workers who make the food!

I have always loved going to Jalapenos, however it has gone downhill, a long with the service. It has really declined! I stopped today for fish tacos. THEY PRECOOKED THE FISH! Needless to say it wasn't very good. She said it had been cooked 5 minutes prior.......it had to have been longer. 😢

The place honestly has potential but the food is always the same. Looks and tastes like it's sat out for a long period of time and the tortilla chips are constantly stale and the queso is runny too. The countertop always looks filthy and has food caked up on it floors are filthy too behind the counter and in the dining room too

Food was good, however, the service was AWFUL. The young lady with dark hair and nose ring was treating her coworkers so terribly that I could barely believe what I was hearing; should be ashamed that she even considered talking to her colleagues like that. The gentleman who took my order wasn’t exactly friendly either but, working with someone like that.. yeah, I get it. Many others have mentioned this in their reviews, but this place has had a significant dip in quality over the years with the folks they’re hiring and I think the owner should reevaluate the ones who they allow to be customer facing.

Ate lunch here today. The food was ok. The work area was filthy. The whole back food prep and serving area had dirt and food scraps on everything. The hygiene of a couple of the workers was less than desirable. Probably will never be back. Filthy place

Great food! Big portions! Food always looks and tastes fresh. This is my go to restaurant of this type.
I'm going to Jalapenos before Chipotle any day

I’ve eaten here only a handful of times but 3 out of 5 times I’ve gotten mild or full blown food poisoning. My father has also been a long time fan but as of lately each time he’s went, the meat wasn’t warm enough and resulted in severe stomach distress and mild food poisoning. He’s currently on day 5 of being sick as a dog. I will never eat here again unfortunately.

Best build a burrito place around cheaper too somehow but the rice has never been crunchy and the meats are always on point. Somtimes they have trouble keeping the burritos together but that's mostly my fault
