We had the molcajete, we enjoyed it very much. The included steak was cooked perfectly. Sara was a great server. All the tequila drinks are made with 100% blue agave! Including the frozen margaritas- almost no one uses 100% tequila in a frozen. Great evening. read more

Love this place food and service is excellent. I have had many different dishes and they were all delicious.

My family and I have dined at Jalepenos for over ten years. This family owned and run restaurant delivers delicious Mexican cuisine with ample portions and warm & friendly service. Friday nights are always fun with live music! A few of our favorite items include Maria's Dip, Taco Tuesday specials and the massive Molcajete! If you're near St. Francisville or Clinton, make the quick drive to the town of Jackson to visit Jalepenos. read more

Very good and very local ! Tasty Mexican food that was hot and fresh and close to home. My favorite was the spinach Queso that had lots of fresh baby spinach though I would have enjoyed some heat throughout the dishes I had. The spinach Queso also came with fresh tortilla chips that could have also like most of the dishes used a hint of salt and fresh red salsa. I also ordered the Shrimp a la Mexican which was sautéed large shrimp with onions, tomatoes and jalapeño peppers along with nice creamy refried beans and moist if lacking a little flavor Spanish rice. The food gets 3 stars and being close to home gets it to 4. read more

Worth the drive! Chimichangas are filled full of meat, rice and beans on the side enough for two meals. Service was great. Quaint restaurant. Limited parking. read more

We stopped by for dinner recently. They are now seating indoors during the COVID-19 mess. It appears to be a family run business, and they were very happy to see us. They also appear to do a brisk take-out service. The food is always good and plentiful, and the prices insanely reasonable. Be sure to check them out if you are in the area! read more

Love the food! Papi's potato, fajitas, nachos, Molcajete...awesome! Bacon cheeseburger...Always great. Friendly atmosphere

Nice little place in a historic town. The staff was nice and helpful in making suggestions on favorite or popular dishes. I had the pineapple fajita, something I do not normally order but I love pineapple. I was pleasantly surprised. This dish was good! If you like pineapples like me. My husband had the steak Monterey with mushrooms, cheese, and onions. He enjoyed this dish as well. This restaurant offers some unique dishes that you wouldn't find at other Mexican restaurants which is always fun to explore. Definitely worth a try if you're in the area read more

We've been going on day trips for the last few days and today, we wound up in Jackson, LA. This was the only restaurant we found that was open. They have a Mexican Buffet, I assume on Sundays because that's when we were here and that's what they had, from 11:00-2:00. We opted for the lunch menu, which was on the back of the regular menu. I had the Pineapple Fajitas with steak, which is the regular fixings in a carved out pineapple half and cooked to perfection. It also has chunks of pineapple, which I love, so it would have been hard to mess up. My wife had the Chicken Fajitas which were good as well. This is another little gem we found on our galavanting. The service was awesome, everyone was very nice and friendly. The restaurant is in a historical building, circa 1832. In the middle of the dining room we were in there is an open, circular fireplace which puts off ample heat. read more

Good food -- Great service -- nice decor. When they re-open I believe it to be even better. Less "IRON" and more friendly ambience...

Then menu was totally misleading for a mechanic restaurant i have visited in the past. I order a dish which i presumed would be a great cheesy grilled chicken breast on rice and a side salad it instead of that i got rice grilled chicken and a salad. The serve was terrible took forever to get served once served i asked for salad dressing by the time She brought it i was asking for a ticket and a to go box. Also asked for a to go tea which i never got the tea maybe i should have not paid for my meal. I will not return for a second meal. read more

This is a fabulous Mexican restaurant with quality food, large portions, and fast/easy pickup. We don't have much to choose from out here, but this restaurant is on par with anything in Baton Rouge. I love their chips and salsa also! read more

This place have always been on point with their food. Always fresh and flavorful! I think I'll have a grilled chicken baked potato today!

Very rude people. My Husband was concerned with an incident that occurred there during this pandemic and had made a comment about it and one of the owners messaged him privately being very very rude. They have since lost all of our business for their nasty comments. To my knowledge the incident was uncleanliness, no masks, no gloves, kids running around etc. read more

The chips were not that yummy, they were stale and the salsa was ok but not great but that's all complimentary so guess I can't complain much about that and this is a super small town and the only other place was a hamburger joint. Ordered the queso and it had a good flavor just wish the chips were better. BUT THE ENTREE WAS DELICIOUS ! My entree was delicious and the presentation was awesome ! I had the pineapple fajita's and omg they were tasty and the chunks of hot pineapple were incredible I'd order this again in a heartbeat. I think a fresh jalapeño in there would of made it even better but I like spicy but the way they serve it is perfect for anyone that likes delectable tasty food. The presentation was beautiful, it's a half of a whole pineapple including the green top it's filled with chicken & beef fajita meat with chunks of pineapple, onions and bell pepper all grilled up together, OMG and comes with hot flour tortillas wrapped in tin foil, rice, refried beans, lettuce, sour cream, guacamole and pica de gallo. All this on dinner menu for $13.95 read more

Everyone was very friendly and service was excellent. Will definitely visit them next time we're in town. read more

I sometimes have to go to Jackson, LA for work so when I do I make it my mission to stop here for lunch. I've been a few times and have never been disappointed. I love the decor, which includes a black bear with a sombrero on. The food is super well priced. You can get stuffed for $10. The last time I ordered the spinach dip (queso with sautéed spinach in it) as an appetizer and OMG I wanted to lick the bowl. The spinach was sautéed in what I can only determine to be pure delight because that's what I felt when I ate it. It was SO flavorful. I wanted to lick the bowl. The presentation could have been a little better but I paid it no mind once I tasted it. For my entree, I got a three item combo (I forgot what it's called on the menu). I got a beef taco, a tamale, and a beef enchilada with rice and beans (all this for only $8). The taco was good and the shell was SUPER fresh. It was so crispy. The tamale and enchilada had great flavor and I liked the sauce on top. The beans were good as well. The rice was a little dry and flavorless so I put some queso on top of it. I will say that I was talking with my coworker and we work for a law firm that represents people with disabilities and I immediately told her that the bathrooms were inaccessible for people who use wheelchairs or other mobility devices. The women's bathroom would be wholly inaccessible for a woman in a wheelchair. Maybe they have a bathroom that is bigger and not in the dining area but, if so, I did not see it. We had this discussion before our lunch came and when we were leaving a man who uses a wheelchair was coming in and I wondered if the ramp was wide enough for him or if he'd be able to use the restroom if he needed to. read more

Recently moved to the area. Went for the first time and nothing to get excited about. Chips were stale, they pour your salsa already in the tiny black bowls and bring it to the table instead of letting you pour the salsa yourself (no jar of salsa). Service was bare minimum. Our waitress was very attentive to the table with obviously 2 of her friends. We had to ask for refills, forgot to bring my salad, and my food came out about 10 minutes after everyone else was served. Won't be going back. read more

This was truly a great place in a quaint small Louisiana town! The chips and salsa were simply tasty and the queso was fantastic! My main dish was simply perfect and flavor was outstanding! We had our large group of family dine with us and was a bit nervous about how the service was going to be, but to our great surprise the wait staff went above and beyond and again was outstanding! I made sure to notice if our group would disturb other families service, but to no avail the staff looked flawless! Thank you all for an amazing dining experience and we look forward to visit you again!! read more

Food is delicious. Staff is very nice. They have a comfortable familial atmosphere. Highly recommended.

NOT GOOD! Plain and simple. Waited 30 minutes for a very simple order and got home and it was barely warm. Also dirty dishes and empty plastic bottles in the area where you place to go orders...dirty and unacceptable. read more

Awesome atmosphere and delicious foods. Love this restaurant!. Service is exceptional!! Always greeted with great hospitality. Love the family atmosphere!!!! Worth the drive if you live out of The Felicianas. read more

Fantastic local restaurant. Very friendly staff and the food is so flavorful. It's worth a stop if you're traveling through and a total gem if you're a local. My only regret is that I forgot to take a picture of the food. I wanted to help by adding a couple picture because they did not have any. The fajitas were totally awesome and the chicken burrito was huge and worth a try too. Cheeses are very rich just like would expect from authentic food. There is even a Sunday buffet I'm told that goes until 230. You won't be disappointed. read more

Great food! Great people! Have been going here for years and have never been disappointed. I would highly recommend Jalapeno's if you are in the area. Large menu with something for everyone.

Pineapple fajitas were great. Sides were the "typical" rice, re fried bean, pico mix. Staff was very nice and the servers were attentive.
