I went for the first time in years. This place is nothing special. Not authentic. The menu selection was not enticing. I ordered 3 tacos and they came with a lot of meat which was good. But there was a TON of toppings. Not even 2 tortillas kept it together. I had to brush off all the toppings. It filled half my plate at the end. The tacos didn't taste bad but they weren't anything tasty or special. Taqueria mi Jalisco cannot be beat for me for authentic and tasty food. read more

Awesome place with great food and great drinks! Went on a Thursday and snagged the $3.50 margarita special! They were actually really good and you could taste the booze! The chips were great and the salsa was awesome- very fresh. I had the grilled shrimp tacos which were so good and had a ton of flavor! Awesome portion too! The service was great and the prices couldn't be beat! read more

This has to be hands down one of my absolute favorite places on earth. They have menudo! The food is always especially good. I don't know where in "He... double hockey sticks" they find their jalapeños, but I'm sure they had to make a deal with the devil to get them as hot as a ghost pepper! I tried a popper thinking they were like the knock-off version you get at sonic. Dead wrong. I had fluids leaving from my nose and mouth I didn't even know we're there. Lol. But hey if you are into it, go for it! Just be warned. Everything else seems to be "user friendly" ;) I would try the chimichangas. They are an absolute delight. Customer service is great, not really too much of a wait, prices are good, and it's well kept. The only thing is the parking can get a bit overcrowded. But over all I would totally recommend! Enjoy!!!! read more

Food, service, drinks are great. The Mahi tacos are our "go to" every time we go here read more

I have been going here for years. The food is great and so is the service. All of the waiters and waitresses are great. Our daughters favorite is Gia who always greets her when she sees her. I highly recommend this place for a family meal. The fajitas are great and so is the asada dinner. I also recommend the Angie's chile rellanos . read more

We went to Jalapeño's for dinner on a Thursday night. We were settled right away, service was great, prices within a good range. We liked that they had a music duo, which we enjoyed read more

I'm a bit concerned by the manager who was onsite yesterday. Had problems with service, (waited 20 minutes to get drinks after being seated) so we asked to speak to a manager. The manager came out and told us we were basically just trying to look for a free meal. Are you kidding me? Turns out it was another group at the restaurant was having similar issues! Being berated for asking to speak to a manager? Honestly we weren't anywhere near as upset with the service (but like I said, coulda been better!) as we were with how the manager was behaving. read more

Great mexican restaurant atmosphere, excellent food and service. We had the jalapenos burrito and enchiladas verde, both were delicious. The salsa was flavorful and chunky and chips thick snd crispy. The strawberry margaritas were delicious and quite potent. We were visiting with friends on a Saturday night snd were not rushed out. Recommend requesting a booth. Wonderful experience a- highly recommend!! read more

Building structure on the inside made it feel we were in a real small Mexican restaurant! Service was great, food was the best part. Enchilada Verdes very good with the rice and potatoes! Fiancé had her favorite food, tamales, and both were great. Overall great experience read more

I would come here maybe 4-5 times a year. This was my last night. Our waitress was terrible. First, it took her about 20-25 mins to even come to our table only to say she'll be back. After waiting another 10 mins we asked the manager to come over so we can put a drink order in. He came back with our drinks and said the waitress said we told her we were waiting for our last guest to arrive. We never told her that. So eventually she came and took the order. I ordered the fajitas. I specifically asked her before ordering what is the combo. She said it's the chicken, shrimp and steak combo. I told her I just wanted steak and chicken. Now comes the bill. I received 3 different bills from the waitress with 3 different amounts. I said I didn't order the combo. I just ordered chicken and steak. She said that's the combo and they add more chicken and steak to off set the shrimp. Well I didn't see no extra meats in my fajitas. I asked to see a menu again to see the prices. It clearly says $18 for chicken fajitas. Steak is $22. Combo is $27. I asked to speak to manager. This is where it went down the toilet. He also said I ordered the combo and got extra meats. Again I didn't get extra meats and if that is what they do the waitress should of said something to the customer when asked the question. I told the manager that I was not happy with the service we received and asked why the waitress handed me 3 different bills all with different amounts due. He said he didn't know. As a manager it's your job to know the skill level of your employees. I was done by then and said just take my payment. The manager asked where the bills were. I said one she took back I got one in my hand and the other crumbled up. The manager then SNATCHED the receipt out of my hand and I said give it back and he said I will pay whatever the correct bill is. You don't snatch ANYTHING from a customers hand cause now you are becoming hostile and violent. The bill he snatched was for $43 and some change. He came back with a $45 bill and never brought back the $43 bill. I asked him for his name and he said Salvador. I asked if he was the owner or manager. He said manager. I asked for the owners name and he shrugged his shoulders and told me he couldn't give me that information. Everyone knows you can Google and find anything. I called him an a$$h*#@. He then told me I was banned from the restaurant. My guest also received 3 different bills and the waitress couldn't figure out how much change to give back from a $100. SMH. Not a good look. If someone from upper management could please contact me because how this situation was handled was very poor by the waitress and definitely the manager. read more

Sun sept 6, 2020 So my review will be serving short. If others see this, I highly recommend training your staff on etiquettes. We phone in to place an order and the gentleman who answered told us they were busy to phone back in 5 minutes. Honestly that in the business world is rude, you can ask one of ok to be put on hold but hey we are busy call us back, in my book means we are not important takes our business else where. Never in my life we were we ever told can back, so we took our business else where, and to restaurant that is always pushed Mon through Saturday, yet they took out business. We may be never come back here again as we ground another place better than jalepanos. read more

I stopped coming to this place awhile ago and now I remember why. I don't know where to really begin. The bar is still too small with all those tables surrounded it . I ordered a dragon fruit margarita and it tasted like.........well not dragon fruit. No balance. Then comes a lukewarm plate of the blandest food I've ever tasted. So much so I couldn't tell if I was eating what I ordered. No spice. If you live in the area? Good luck and if you have other options (might I suggest Taco Bell. They don't have margaritas but there are liqour stores next to most of them.) read more

If you love authentic, delicious, Mexican cuisine... Look no further! NWI restaurant enthusiasts, try out this local staple. It's going to be hard to convince myself not to come here every taco Tuesday!! Friends kept trying to get me to come out and I'm glad I finally did!!! Thanks to the excellent service and delicious food. Will be back soon! read more

This was a joke we loved this place pre pandemic. Not sure what happend we got litterly 1/3 the amount of food had 18% tip added on mine and a co workers meal so one table with 2 people 18 percent per bill then they wanted us to tip on top of it being added in on the bill this was a joke read more

Mexican restaurant located in Schereville, Indiana. I went on a Friday night when you enter there is a host at the front door no reservations were made we were meeting family and friend for dinner. Chips and salsa came to the table drink orders were taken. I ordered Tequila on the rocks, Chicken Burrito the food and drinks were good. We were able to sit around and talk without being rushed. I tried out Jalapenos I will come back only if I'm in the neighborhood. The restaurant it self is nice a bit loud, it spacious whereas you are not sitting on top one another. read more

Let's just say, the food was good, service was mediocre, and ambiance was great! But if you are a person that like extras with your food (e.g., lemons, limes, jalapeños etc) be prepared to pay for it. But seriously what kind of Mexican restaurant charges for the main essential on a Mexican delicacy? I spoke to the owner Arie about those extra charges and he was definitely understanding and took those charges off. Anyways, I ordered the quesadillas and they were nicely seasoned and flavorful. All I can say is that my quesadilla were on point. Furthermore, my friend order the colossal burrito and I must say the burrito was HELLA HELLA big. He was able to finish the burrito in one setting, so that told me that his food was also good. All in all I give this spot a 4/5 star. read more

The food was ok until I found several long hairs in my food. The manager tried to take off 2.00 off to compensate. They also changed .33 cent per enchilada for the meat(which was supposed to come with it) and an additional.33 cent for cheese on the enchiladas. Never was I asked If I wanted cheese, and then when I asked about it I was given attitude.i paid for my meal minus the tip and the followed us out the restaurant telling me we didn't have a choice in paying gratuity. When I started that by law I don't have to and I did pay for my meal they yelled we were not allowed to come back and started speaking Spanish angrily. I would never come back and eat hair. I wasn't able to post the pics of my beans with hair in them on here. If there is a way to post it let me know and I will. Won't be back ! read more

Used to be awesome. Now over priced, poor food, poor service. We ordered takeout. The food was cold and I had to wait 15 minutes before anyone greeted at the door. I had to go to the bar to get any attention from any of the work staff. And this was at 7:30 PM in the evening. We finally got our over priced $29 fajitas (for one) and they were missing lettuce and tomato. No salsa or chips either. So sad!!! Was once my favorite Mexican spot and of all the choices, that's the place I wanted this evening. I tried to call them back to rectify twice, but no one answers the phone. Hope they can do better in the future. read more

This used to be one of my favorite restaurants, but after eating there on Dec. 29, 2022 I will never go back again. I was surprised that the quality of the food has gone down. We had to pay a mandatory 18% gratuity for mediocre food and terrible service. The waitress never came back to check on us and twice forgot items that we asked for. We had to track her down for the items so our food wouldn't get cold and she was clearly upset that we had the nerve to bother her. She did not deserve a tip at all. Also, the ladies bathroom was filthy. read more

I love coming here! The food is great! I love the enchiladas, chimichangas and fish tacos. The margaritas are strong and tasty! The staff is wonderful. This place is truly a gem. read more

Took about 10 mins to get a drink and offered no water and I had to order 2 rounds at a time to make sure that I had our drinks and the food wasn't that good. Beautiful place thou read more

The food is above average, but the service is abysmal. Since they implemented a guaranteed 18% tip for the servers, the level of indifference rivals that of public sector employees. My meal was served without bringing me silverware and cooled rapidly while I was waiting for a fork. Apparently offering a second round of drinks is not a thing here either, which is weird since it would have added to the server's guaranteed tip. Please note that the owner responds to people essentially denying the customer's experience and then asking the customer to try them again. There is no acknowledgement of the issue and no offer to make things right, such as half off on a future visit. If you are reading this, consider a different restaurant read more

Well then just raise the prices of the food or call it a Covid surcharge. I don't really like it when I'm forced to pay almost a 20% tip independent of the quality of service I received. Then it begs the question; is the 18% gratuity in place due of the new Covid implementations? This would suggest that the gratuity is not given to the wait staff but rather to the restaurant owners for...??? COVID implementations? I get it that some things are more costly now but to hide it as a gratuity? Do your family members REQUIRE you to give more for Christmas and birthdays because their kids are getting older or want more expensive things? I believe the gratuity is strictly for the wait staff and be based on the quality of service they give the customer. read more

It was a last minute decision to eat at Jalapeños and so glad we did. We had the margarita of the day Blue Lagon and it was sweet & strong!! The shrimp tacos was bomb! We were able to be seated on the patio right away. read more

They wouldn't separate our checks because our party is too big, the manger was rude, the white left at the front ladies were rude the waitresses we rude. We were in town from Chicago, & I have never experienced this much racism and horrible customer service read more

Been coming here for years and typically good but after my last experience I will never go back. Deserves zero stars! First, took awhile for a waitress I& it wasn't that busy. Food came quick and was good. Bill came and we noticed they automatically added 18% tip! Nothing was said to us about it. There was only two of us. We almost have the server a double tip because of it! Unfortunately, both my husband and I got food poisoning afterwards! And it was definitely from dinner because we hadn't at since breakfast and we ate the same thing for dinner. Will never be back! read more

You know, you would think I'm from south of the border with how authentic I prefer my Mexican food. This is definitely a place I will return to, as it meets my needs. I got the Carne Asada meal and it did not disappoint. The meat was tender and flavorful (and not the salt flavor)! The ambience is good and easy on the eyes. If you are in this area, I recommend you try it out for yourself and thank me later! read more

The decor is charming in the main dinning area vaulted ceiling with a brick pattern and very rustic. The service is Good it could be better the guys are quick to bring the chips and Salsa....The food selection is outstanding to cover everyones taste I had the Fiesta Del Mar it was enough to feed 2 people the portion are good size. Definitely the Good things Out weigh the negative will be making a return trip read more

The Food was absolutely disgusting the corn shells was soggy and the the taco only had fat on it! Next the Service, My waitress was really nice but I asked one worker can they get my waitress she turned around and said "no" it was the chick with the bun and really short. Anyways the atmosphere was real nice but I didn't like the tacos this time or the service but other than that it was good. read more

I took my son last night to this restaurant for graduation with some family members. The waitress was not the friendliest. The general manager was not helpful and was borderline rude himself. I asked if there was someone I can contact, if it was corporate owned? He said its family owned, there is no one I can talk to but him. I asked if he owner the establishment and he said no and I am not giving you their information. I won't be back! Not recommended. They also already include the 18% gratuity for the horrible service. read more

This actually started out as a four-star review. After going to the restaurant to pick up my order it quickly reverted to one-and-a-half Stars. I decided to post the review while I was waiting for my order. That was my first mistake. My order was placed by phone. I was told it would be 20 minutes for my order. I went to the restaurant and waited over 1 hour to get my order. As I was waiting, the girl had me pay for my order. Incidentally, I paid with cash There was somebody else beside me waiting for theirs. After about 10 minutes the girl returned and proceeded to hand me a bill to sign with a credit card. Unfortunately the credit card belongs to the other customer. It was mass confusion the entire hour that I was waiting for my order. When my order finally did come, one dinner was correct the other one was completely incorrect. I was offered no apology. She did offer to have my order remade, but after having waited an hour already, I did not want my friend to have to wait to eat their dinner. At that point I asked for a refund. It then took her over 10 minutes to come back with my refund. When I called the manager to complain, I was told I would be given a free dinner. It was also determined that I was overcharged for the initial dinner. I was told my name would be at the restaurant and I could order my same dinner again and get a refund for the overcharge of the other dinner. A week later, I called to place the order had to wait on hold for 10 minutes and when the girl finally came back to take my order, I explained to her about the refund I was owed. I was then placed on hold to wait for a manager. One of the manager came on he argued about the overcharge. This overcharge was already approved by another manager and I was assured I would receive it. I am so disgusted with this restaurant that I cancelled my order and I will not go there again. I am so disappointed in them I did not even take the free dinner that I had coming to me. Hopefully they will figure out how to better serve their customers and be more efficient, polite and professional. I would like to add that I did get a reply from the business owner on this review. In response to him being upset about missing the mark. Perhaps it wouldn't have happened if after speaking with three different supervisors at your facility, they would be on the same page. I spoke to at least two different managers who claimed to leave messages for the other. One doesn't know what the other one is doing. There is a clear lack of communication between staff at this restaurant. I even was told by a manager the night that I called in with my complaint , we have incompetent staff working here tonight". Apparently it's even clear to them. The last thing I would like to add, is that if you look at my other reviews, all but a few are positive. I just felt it necessary to share this experience, and perhaps to save somebody else for making the same mistake read more

I finally made it here. Very good restaurant. I came in today (cinco de mayo) at the perfect time. We were able to walk in & get seated right away. Our waiter we had he was very nice & friendly. Now the food lol. The chips & salsa were really good. We ate those before our food came only downfall is that they charge $.99 after the first batch. The salsa taste really fresh which is a good thing. I ordered the shrimp fajitas let me just say those shrimps were huge. They were lightly breaded & the skillet was filled with green/red peppers & onions (love it). Alot of food I ended up bring some home. I also ordered the passionfruit/mango margarita, extremely good. If you drive pass this place go in. read more

Came in for lunch after needing a michelada. The specials could be a good deal if they tasted better. They add tiny cubed potatoes to the ground beef and they had a really odd flavor. There wasn't much to the beef besides that so it was all together disappointing. Apparently our waitress never came to see us so the other server took us instead. Besides that, service was fine. read more

This place is the best when it comes to food quality and price! All the employees are friendly and attentive!

Jalepenos WAS our favorite restaurant until today. We ordered to go, since we've been doing since March, and we got home and the WHOLE order is wrong. We ordered extra guacamole and didn't get any at all, my husbands skillet was completely wrong, I asked for juice in my vista del mar and it's bone dry! We didn't even get the complimentary chips and salsa. I know what I ordered! We literally order the SAME EXACT THING every single time so for the guy on the phone to tell me that I didn't ask for steak, and then go a step further and say we don't even have that on the menu when I called is a slap in the face! We've spent too much money at this restaurant over the years to have such horrible customer service today! read more

No thanks ! Honestly this was my second visit. The first time I ordered the fajitas combo it was just okay. The steak was tough the chicken was burnt and the shrimp were too tiny. My recent order was a simple 3 taco dinner only one of tacos was good. The rest of the tacos were really Cold and saturated in the oil it was cooked. read more

Love this place and have been a patron for over 20 years. Killer salsa here. My two favorite entrees are the Alambre and the Burrito Jalapeños (I get it minus the tortilla due to gluten allergy). No one else can compete in the area with the quality and taste of their alambre! Enjoy! read more
