Jalapeños, "the hottest Mexican restaurant" is actually my favorite Mexican restaurant. I come here every time I pass through NW Indiana. I give it 5 stars for two reasons: the building is amazing and the food is fantastic and quite affordable. First, the building. Somebody spent an awful lot of money creating this restaurant. An old barn from Mexico was moved to Indiana and this barn is the foundation of this spectacular place. In the main dining room you will see a lot of reclaimed wood with beautiful big barn doors and high ceilings. This place is a showpiece! The light fixtures are works of art. The rugged wood booths are beautiful. The art and decor are incredible. Second, I have never had a less than spectacular meal here. My favorites include the absolutely delicious pozole stew which has a rich tomato sauce, nice chunks of pork tenderloin and ancho chillies. It comes with a side garnish of cabbage, onions, Mexican oregano and red pepper flakes. It is a meal alone! Next, I highly recommend the shredded chicken mole. Their mole sauce is amazing. So rich. So good. Making mole is an art form. Of course, the margaritas are strong and tasty and quite large. Be careful driving home. My server this time was Juan, pronounced Kwon. He had great recommendations about the mole, and creating an enchilada dish not on the menu. He is a pozole fan too. Please visit this great place. It raises the bar of what gets 5 stars . Not just amazing food but also an incredible environment or building as well.

Citrus Steak Taco Trio

Ambiance was very nice, sat outside in the back at the fire pit table. Our server was very attentive and the food was pretty good. Ordered the guac for the table which was good but nothing crazy kind of bland. The house salsa was also fine. The taco's were good, steak was a little bit dry. Been going here since I was a little kid and it hasn't changed a bit and we will continue to return

Chips and salsa, margarita, and water
Alexandra H.

Came here tonight for dinner. It was my first time here. The hostess stand was pretty busy trying to seat everyone. Once I was seated, I was brought chips and salsa, A few moments later, my waitress came to take my order. Starter: Chips and Salsa. The chips were nice and crispy. The salsa was good and not very spicey. Drink: Margarita. Delicious! Entree: Carne Asada with grilled veggies, refried beans, rice, and grilled shrimp with melted butter. The carne asada was so good! It was seasoned very well and was easy to cut. The veggies was cooked nicely and was still crispy. The refried beans were good and had lots of cheese on it. The rice was decent. The shrimp was so good and seasoned nicely! It had a cup that was full of melted butter that you could drip them in. Overall, I really enjoyed everything and had a great time.

Flaunta Chicken
Joneice B.

Second time eating here. Food is really good. The wait was estimated at 45 mins on a Saturday night at 630pm. We probably got in within 30. This location has plenty of TVs in the bar section. No mask policy at this restaurant, so be aware of that if you are concerned. For food we ordered tacos and flautas. All very good. The beans were flavorful. For drinks we got margaritas and shots (tequila). Price on special margaritas was $6 and tequila shots were $4 (jimadaor). My sister-in-law ordered Hennessy that was pricey for a shot $9. All in all very good times. Gratituity was included on all dine in orders at 18%.

Mother's Day dinner was disappointing, especially since we had an early 5 PM reservation and the…read morerestaurant was only about half full. It took nearly 15 minutes for our server to greet us, and our appetizer arrived before our drinks, for this round, only three drink orders total. Throughout the visit, we felt pressured to place our entrée order before we were ready. Once our food arrived, we noticed the enchiladas had red sauce instead of the tomatillo/green sauce we ordered. The food runner insisted the red sauce was tomatillo sauce, which was clearly incorrect. What stood out most was the lack of service continuity. We were seated by the window and noticed our server, Jacqueline, left around 6 PM simply because her shift ended. There was no introduction to another server or any handoff whatsoever. After waiting quite a while with no one checking on us, we eventually had to go to the host stand ourselves just to close out the bill. Our tab was around $200. Rather than dine and dash, we paid in full for the food and drinks, but chose not to leave gratuity based on the experience. The food itself was nicely presented and overall tasted good, but high prices comparable to Chicago do not automatically make a restaurant upscale. If you're looking to overspend on Mexican cuisine while receiving poor customer service, this may be the place for you.

OK, once you get past the fact that it's a hole in the wall Mexican place let me tell you the…read moreservice is great. They're always prompt. They bring you free chips and salsa to your table. I usually opt for the same thing every time, the queen which is skirt steak And rice and beans with a cheese enchilada and shredded lettuce and tomato it never disappoints. It's always spot on delicious it comes with your choice of corner flour tortillas. I always get corn. It's just a perfect meal. They have other things of course and my family gets those such as tacos or Maria that sort of thing Overall for the price point. You get a lot for your money. It's delicious food and it won't break the bank perfect for family is or a date or anything. It's just a really good place.

I am wondering if El Amigo, in Schererville, is under new management…read more Today, I was there having dinner. They were busy so there wasn't much of being checked in on, which is fine, I understand. When it came up to go pay. We proceeded to go pay and noticed that I was being charged a "fee" for using a debit card. Up to my current knowledge a debit card is not to be charged a "fee" like a credit card (could regulations/laws have changed and I was unaware absolutely). So then I proceeded to ask the lady why a "fee" was being charged on a debit card. She then proceeded to state that their system has always been doing it and that she has been there for the last 10 years. I have been going to this restaurant for about the last 10ish years and not once seen this person before. This person proceeded to become rude and blatantly nasty. I called her out on it and said "damn, you're rude" She proceeded to say "I don't care" and continued to repeat "I don't care" throughout the whole interaction, rather than try to come to a calm solution/explanation. For someone who works in a restaurant or a business I think that's highly unprofessional to be completely honest. I then proceeded to ask if there was someone above her who I could speak to about this for which she stated " God is above me". I responded to her saying absolutely "God is above all of us". She continued to be nasty and rude throughout the whole interaction. Another employee tried to come in, intervene, and help with the situation but she just gave the worker an attitude and told him to stay out of it. We ended up just paying it and whatever. As we walked out, she proceeded to tell us "Just f**cking leave". To add to this, during the interaction she proceeded to inform us this was her second time of the day arguing with someone. We absolutely left after we had paid. It's very unfortunate that a restaurant that I have loved going to for the last decade of my life I will no longer be going to. This all occurred because of one rude/nasty interaction with whom I believe to be a newer employee. I truly wonder what happened to the ownership here because the owner's son was always so polite, kind, approachable, and always went out of his way to interact with this customers.
