Was super busy, however the staff was great and the food was very good. Atmosphere was very nice will go again.

The food is quality , hot fresh and delicious! Service is tentative, prompt, and friendly. The ambience can be crowded can be seated quite closely to others, and it can be reasonably loud because it just gets crowded at peak hours for sure. read more

Recommended to us by a friend and figured we would give it a go because we were in the area. Busy for a little place which was immediately a good sign. Clean and well taken care of. Food was amazing, absolutely lived up to our expectations and then some. Will definitely be returning just for the food. Our server was less than impressive though, seemed to care more about the soccer game that was on rather than whether or not we needed anything. Sat needing beverage refills during our meal for almost fifteen minutes before anyone came around to check on us. Other than that, would absolutely recommend and this may become one of our go-to places in the area. read more

Jalapenos Mexican Restaurant - Three enchilada plate with beans and rice - Mexican Near Me - Durant, Oklahoma

Wonderful experience, drove here from DFW as usual but this visit was different. We got to meet Noe, the son's owner who was very down to earth and a wonderful server. He told us a bit about his parents (the owners)shared a bit of their story and made us feel even more connected to this great place! Although when you drive up it may not be the easiest on the eyes, the food, the service and the people are wonderful and truly worth the stop. Will forever stop here and will forever continue to vouch for this place! Truly a hidden gem. read more

1st. This place felt dirty upon entering. 2nd. The chips were gross. They needed to change the cooking grease a week ago. Chips were heavy with old grease and tasted like the place smelled and felt. Nasty. 3rd. Salsa tasted like ground tomatoes with chili powder. Nasty. We didn't even order. Chips were so gross in your mouth I needed a margarita to wash it out. read more

Very good food and customer service, also very good chips and salsa. I recommend tacos and burritos.

This hole in the wall is serving some really awesome Mexican food! We started off with an endless basket of chips and homemade fresh salsa. The tortilla chips were a little thicker, like a Mi Cocina type of chip and had a great flavor. When they brought salsa they brought one for each guest, and that's great for me because I don't like to share my salsa! The chili rellano was a real treat. Often the pepper is breaded and fried, but not here. They were loaded with cheese and drowned in queso. The peppers were cooked el dente and had a good neutral pepper flavor, not too hot and not too sweet. For $19 we had a fajita feast, fresh sautéed peppers and onions served on a sizzling skillet loaded with grilled chicken on top. There were plenty for two people... for both lunch AND dinner! Friendly hometown service. I'd make the trip from Plano just to have the chili rellano again! We have to thank the locals at The Tile Shoppe distribution center for the recommendation. read more

This is a review written by a person who is on the receiving end of their catering. They brought food from Durant OK to serve the Senate Republican Caucus lunch on a Monday. They brought fajita's. Rice, beans, pico, salsa, chips, tortillas. Guac, shredded queso blanco, shredded cheddar, lettuce. I mean it was a full on Mexican fajita buffet. The fajita's were full of roasted, tender beef, chicken, onions, peppers, pineapple and (drum roll please) BACON! Chips were light, but didn't crumble at a touch. Stood up to scooping the pico, beans, etc. Tortillo's were 6-7". Just a perfect size to stuff with that delicious fajita filling. Don't forget to add your other sides to the tortilla. I am very jealous that I don't live in or near Durant. This place blows away OKC's top 5 mexican restaurants for taste and catering. I will make it to Durant and eat there in person soon. Thank you to the staff and crew who made this catering job possible. From the Capitol staff to the staff at Jalapenos, we love you! Come back soon! read more

Jalapenos Mexican Restaurant - Aloha fajitas. This was brought to a catering job at the Oklahoma State Capitol Building. So, so good. - Mexican Near Me - Durant, Oklahoma

Huge amount of food, that was very good. We had a large group, 30+, but the wait staff did a good job. Just wish they had a better selection of beer. Not even Shiner, even though they had the sign. read more

Jalapeños Restaurants ! My entire family has been eating there for years it kinda reminds us of the old Monterey House Restaurants that used To be in the Houston Area read more

First time eating here for lunch when they first opened. 2 people. 1st order: 1 chicken enchilada, rice and beans and Dr Pepper. 2 order: 2 tamales and beef enchilada and water. Also served with chips and hot sauce. First: the cleanliness was lacking. The table was filthy apparently from the night before, the salt and pepper shakers were nasty and filthy (food all over them and not wiped off). I used my glass of water to and napkins to clean the table. As well as wipe the shakers off. The food was meh. Definitely need more seasoning. And the chicken enchilada sauce was very lacking. The chips and hot sauce were good. The hot sauce was flavorful. Which was the best part of the meal. The service was poor to fair and she wasn't very friendly. Doubt we would return for another meal. Disappointed again as far as a decent Mexican Restaurant in Durant. read more

Awesome fajitas, Steven is a great server.

Amazing place, my favorite Mexican Restaurant. It has been since I first ate there 3 years ago. There always busy but never bad service. Today our waiter was Steven and he was perfect. He never left is waiting but didn't bug us too much either! Made sure we had everything we needed we never had to ask for anything, not even drinks to go. read more

When pulling into the parking lot i was not sure this was a restaurant, when I arrived I had to wait on a table and a skinny dude came from the kitchen and got our menus and I followed him as he walked quickly. He through our menus down and silverware on the table and said "someone will be with you shortly" and damn near knocked me down walking away, our waitress was great and very sweet and was always around, the chips where broken into smaller bites, looked liked the bottom of the chip bag. The green salsa is hot as hell but so good!!! I ordered the chicken enchilada's, they were good, the meat I think was canned chicken and was very chewy not like the places that are the big chain restaurants. Overall I would come back once I try the other place in town. read more

Fresh food, nice atmosphere, excellent service, and always good food! The chips are even fresh and hot when they arrive at your table. My first visit here, I advised our waiter that I had to have separate corn tortillas from the flour tortillas because I have Celiac Disease. He didn't know what Celiac is, but listened and when he delivered my meal, he stated "Made with love". He said that and made me feel like he genuinely cared because I had strict instructions to him when putting in my order. Some of the guidelines I have to tell any waiter when eating out are that gloves need to be changed and I can not have any wheat flour near my food or it makes me ill. For the first time in two years of my diagnosis, I felt like a waiter actually cared about me and my need. I highly recommend this place to everyone. It's very kid friendly (I had our two grandkids with us) and the entire staff is outstanding! The young lady who checked us out at the cash register was kind and smiled. You could tell she loves her job. The manager checked on us and made sure everything was just right. If you come through Durant or live in Durant, this is the Mexican food place to visit for dinner! read more

Me and my wife eat here a lot and we love the food. I get the Alcopoco Chicken and it's amazing! Their margs are spot on too!

Left out 1/2 my $75 to-go order and refused to compensate me. Told me I could only come back and get the food. I live over 20 miles away. Horrible. Horrible. Horrible. read more

I really don't like giving one star but this is no Bueno. Atleast not for me, staff are ok, the place we sat was pretty dirty. The food, can't do it, not sure thats Mexican food, there are other places in town, thats where I would go. read more

Got recommended from a lady at our hotel this morning so we stopped here for lunch. Really glad we did, portions were big- salsa was really good! Wife had the enchiladas and she took some leftovers back for later. I had the avocado special and I am taking some back for later as well. Food was great! read more

Great value Mexican restaurant! The white queso was very good! They give you both green and red salsa upon your arrival accompanied by chips and both are very fresh! They have about 20 different variations of fajitas amongst other menu choices so there is something for everyone! My husband and I split the gordo fajita ( chorizo, steak, chicken and sausage) and there was TONs of food! It was very yummy as well! Friendly staff and good food at a great value- our entire meal was only $25 for queso, fajitas and two drinks! read more

Jalapenos Mexican Restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Durant, Oklahoma

Great food. Huge portions. Fajitas for 1 here is basically fajitas for 3 anywhere else. The salsa on this visit was a little too spicy for everyone at our table. The prices have went up A LOT. The margaritas are absolutely amazing but I'm not convinced they are worth this new price... review would easily be 5 stars but I'm taking two stars off for the price gouging. read more

Fajitas, fajitas, fajitas. They have around 25 different fajita offerings. The variations have to do with the different condiments that come with the fajitas. We came back 3 nights in a row. IT WAS DELICIOUS! Our waiter was Daniel and his was wonderful. We wanted for nothing. We're from Mesquite, Tx. and I intend to come back! My wife had the enchiladas and she was very happy with quality. read more

This gem was recommended by some locals and my lunch was delicious! Opens at 12 daily except for Thanksgiving and Christmas, which is crazy for a small town. Serves margaritas that are reportedly delicious and bottled beer. I had the recommended beef fajita enchilada lunch - and the salsa is so good I took a container home. Drive off the highway a bit to get some good diner food! read more

We've gone to Jalapeño's every week for several years. We loved to bring our Lake Texoma visitors in for the fajitas. The past three visits, somethings were off: poor service, greasy chips (I mean dripping greasy), slow food delivery. Even the older man who serves chips looks unhappy to be there. What's going on with Jalapeño's?? read more

Probably the best tasting fajitas I have ever had. Huge portions! Great service and a laid back casual environment.

First thing I saw from the parking lot was a mop hanging on the fence attached to the restaurant. A foul odor greeted us when we first entered the restaurant. Numerous flies. Floors had debris all over. If you value cleanliness, go elsewhere. We ended up walking out before we could order, so I can't even comment on the food. read more

Gotta love this place! I come here every time I'm in Durant. I like both the veggie burrito and the spinach enchiladas (good vegetarian options for a small town establishment). They usually have some sort of special going on, super friendly service, the beans and rice are awesome, and they don't short you on portion size. It gets pretty busy at peak times, but they have lots of seating for how small the location is. read more

I have had some excellent authentic mexican food all over the country and for a place like Durant, Ok. This is the best in town! The fajitas are amazing, the white queso is really good and the guacamole is to DIE for! The BEST guacamole I've had in years! The service is always good and they have YUMMY house margaritas! read more

Best Mexican food in town! Chips are always hot, fresh and crisp. Salsa is fantastic .. I prefer the hotter version. They have the best fajitas and my favorite is the Ranchero ,,, fajita with spice and jalapenos. The rice is also very good. Its just a bit more than my family can usually afford, so we don't get to go very often. read more

Best Mexican food in Durant by a long shot. Tastes like you're in Mexico, but service is MUCH faster. Not cheap, but you DO get your $$ worth. Excellent cheese, shrimp, fresh veggies.... Very few restaurants last in Durant, but this one has for good reason. The restaurant could use a new ventilation system due to frying in the kitchen; minor issue. read more

Our favorite Mexican food in town. The service is always stellar, especially when Stephen is working.

The first time I came to Jalepeno's, I was not impressed. I had gotten tacos and didn't like the meat at all. Since then, I've gone back dozens of times. They have delicious mild salsa. If you want it spicy, ask for their green salsa and mix the two. The highlight of this restaurant is its queso, which is the best I've ever had, available in yellow or white ( I recommend the white ). And second, their fajitas, which, once again, are the best I've ever had. The meet is so juicy and perfectly cooked. It will keep you coming back for more. ---- Update: I still think they have the best Fajitas and any other food I've had their is still poor. The worst part is the prices. It's significantly higher than other mexican food in the area and they don't even offer free queso anymore, which they used to. read more
