Jalapenos Mexican Grill - Lima

Love Jalapeños. Been a customer for years. Food is always good. Services is typically good. However, tonight 12/22/25 at 7pm, I was told they were totally out of white rice. I find that hard to believe and it being more likely the staff not wanting to make more. Worst service I have ever received at the Shawnee location.

I usually come here every week. Have been for years now. Lately the burritos have gotten smaller and smaller. This last time might be the LAST time. I used to constantly tell ppl to go there cause the size of the burritos will blow your mind. It was their 'thing. It USED to be worth the money, now there's not really 'that thing' to keep you coming back. Most unfriendly employees in years. They almost make you feel like you're imposing. They should definitely hire a new crew! Now, there's no difference between the Big Burrito and the smaller one. Same size. Depends on the employee, no standard anymore. Customer service is half the job. If employees don't want to be there, go work elsewhere. You're running longtime customers off. Go back to the old way jalapenos! See you then.

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.
