In searching for a good Mexican restaurant, I have tasted dishes that were good and bad. What I noticed was some put only meat in their burritos and others more rice... it's never the right combo. When you order tacos, they are a soggy mess. This Mexican restaurant has totally changed my oh hum outlook towards Mexican restaurants. I saw it when I took my dog to the nearby veterinarian. Boy, I'm glad I did. I ordered the Macho Burrito and Super Tacos. When I got home and opened the tray that held the burrito, I was amazed at how huge it was. It was full of shrimp, steak and chicken with just the right amount of cheese, rice and veggies. It was so large that I ate two meals out of it. The super tacos were SUPER DELICIOUS! This was the first taco that I've had that was a crispy delight. I will be going back to try the many scrumptious offerings on their menu. Hats off to you guys! read more

Service needs improvement. Our server was in such a rush that he didn't get our full order before leaving from the table. He was inattentive throughout our visit. read more

We had a retirement luncheon here and it was great! This was my first time and a few of my co workers first time eating at Jalapeno Grill. The food was pretty good, with great flavors. The menu had a lot to choose from. The facility was clean and it wasn't too busy. The service was good, the waiter took our group photo. Overall we had a great experience at Jalapeno Grill. read more

Horrible food and overly expensive. Server was overly grabby with bill at the end. I will never be back!

What happen???? I use to enjoy eating here. Talk about a 180 degree in food quality. I ordered a simple chicken chimichangas, the shell was raw, no taste to the pulled chicken and dry. Maybe management needs to hire a new cooking crew. I mean I bet Mexican prisons offer better food. read more

Coming from New Orleans, we came across this place when driving through Mississippi to go to Pensacola. I didn't know what the La Chusma was, but it looked tasty on the menu, and when I ordered it, it is probably one of the most favorite things I have ever eaten. It comes with rice, veggies, various meats and seafood, and it's smothered in different cheeses. It is freakin amazing, and I recommend trying it! Service is fast and staff are friendly. It's also reasonably priced. read more

Jalapeño Grill - Burrito Supreme. House chips/Sala. 12oz Tamarindo margarita. - Mexican Near Me - Ocean Springs, Mississippi

Too long of a wait on the food. 1.5hr wait for a burrito with only 3 people at the bar is just unacceptable in todays standards. Maybe the food is good but common no one should be made to wait that long and if there's such a long wait time it should be communicated to say the least. read more

Service was bad and the food worse! Ordered steak fajitas not steak jerk! you know it's not fresh when they bring out fajitas and they ate not smoking or sizzling! read more

The host greeted us with "what's up", our waiter didn't speak more than 5 words when he came to the table, and the food was extremely bland. The best part was the queso but nothing was special about it. Just had more flavor than anything else. read more

Food was pretty good I got the jalapeno hamburger and fries my hubby got 2 enchilada plate, the atmosphere was nice and relaxing, the service was not so great we got a new girl that knew nothing and was not very attentive we had to keep finding and stopping her to reorder a drink. read more

Keep going don't stop, this place is terrible, a tourist trap. The food had either no flavor or just grease as a main ingredient. Oh and this is the very first margarita in my entire life i did not finish. The frozen margarita showed up not frozen, way to much fruit suger and no noticable alcohol. Truly a horrible experience all around. read more

Went and had dinner on august 6th. Food was great and after we received the check and added the tip which I only gave 10% and the reason I gave that was because the order was messed up. I always take photos of my restaurant receipts for this reason. the next day I checked my checking account and they had taken an extra .65 cents and added it to the check. Wrote an email hoping to hear back never heard back. Called and spoke with the manager and she helped me out. I understand Money is money and if I didn't add it to the check or give it to you then that's stealing. May just be .65 cents to some to not worry about but that's not what this is about. You took extra money that didn't belong to you. So please always take photos of your receipt's and check your account and know that your waitress or waiter are the ones that run your check and card through the machines not the restaurant itself. read more

Mozzarella!!! The service as far as the server, fast, and hot was just fine. The actual food though leaves a lot to be desired. No seasoning very bland and they used mozzarella for their white cheese on everything. Even the Chile Relleno was stuffed and topped with mozzarella. Also the red sauce is most likely canned pizza sauce. Not even the jarred sauce. read more

I was very impressed with this restaurant. Our waitress was attentive, our portions were very big and tasty, and the prices were extremely affordable. read more

Mask is mandatory on the website and confirmed after calling the restaurant. So, my Family will not ever be going to eat there.

my family and i love eating here. we usually come on tuesday for taco tuesday. kids eat free on sunday, too! when we eat here other days of the week, the portions of food are SO BIG. we always receive wonderful service and yummy food. we will be back! read more

Such a disappointment! Came here for a second time as Jalapeno (not El Ranchero) and everything was bland, dry or not the freshest. The best part was the salad components like the shredded lettuce, tomato and sour cream, but its hard to mess that up! My family and I ordered one chicken chimichanga, one beef burrito, one chicken taco and one shrimp quesadilla. The chicken in the chimichanga was tasteless. The queso was runny and sloppily applied, not thick, rich and custardy. The burrito and taco meal also came with rice, refried beans and salad. The salsa we were served with tortilla chips was also very liquidy and hot without much flavor beyond that. The refried beans were bland without even salt. We had to ask for avocados and guac, which the quac was also missing basic seasoning. We added salt and lime juice to accommodate. The chicken in the taco was extremely dry and had no authentic Mexican seasoning or spices. They brought the incorrect burrito and instead of beef it contained the same dry, tasteless chicken. The shrimp quesadilla was huge and not cut. I cut it myself and was surprised to see that there wasn't enough cheese to keep both sides closed. The shrimp was mildly flavored, but didn't taste fresh, but had a slightly grainy texture. The rice, chips and tortillas were average. The sweet tea tasted at least day-old, watery and wasn't very sweet. We really tried to find some highlights of the meal and experience to overlook the bad, but could not; we had already lost our appetites and were sullen. Our waitress was nice, but service was slow and she never returned to replace the first incorrect order. We later found out that the manager seated us and was totally content with seating every customer in very close proximity. We asked to sit further away to continue to comply with Covid-19 best practices. Every employee did have on masks including the manager. We noticed the queso had a hair in it and we sent it back earlier without judgment, but when we informed the manager of our lackluster experience we were flabbergasted to hear her tell us that it wasn't hair in the queso, but a piece of jalapeno string (ummm..ok...?). She also made excuses and never apologized for the poor food quality. We stated that we had come before and ordered some of the same food and enjoyed it. Unfortunately we had to tell her we did not feel like we should pay for the meals but gladly paid for the drinks and chips although that should have been on the house. Its very curious how some people will pay for any old Mexican food without fail with so many awesome options in the area. Jalepenos is not for me-I will not be returning. read more

I wish I could give this place no stars! I love Mexican food, but this has to be the worse food and experience I have EVER had. The waitress basically assumed we knew the menu and what we were gonna order not giving us any chance to look at the menu. When we asked questions she became frustrated. She rushed us the whole time like she was so busy and the restaurant was almost empty. We ordered got our food and drinks and the food was terrible! My poor son ate the awful beef tacos and after trying them for myself, I felt bad for letting him eat them.She then rushed us while we ate only leave us hanging after we asked for our check. We had to get up and go find her, sitting and chatting with her co worker. I hate that I wasted my hard earned money there! read more

OMG! I know Mexican food and tonight I had the best enchiladas I've had in a very long time. The sauce was so good and authentic. I got the enchiladas supreme and it came with guacamole, tomatoes, sour cream and a sauce to die for. I tend to judge a Mexican restaurant by their salsa and I was not disappointed, very good. Service was first rate and prices really good. I only wish they had more around the state. Please visit when you're in town. read more

I do not like giving bad reviews, so i'm going to give a decent one. Being fair, the best things I can say about this restaurant are that it is clean and has a decent atmosphere. The food is adequate at best, but I only got tacos (which on taco tuesday you have to BUY A DRINK to get the 1.65 tacos), and rice and beans. The portions are small, especially the sides. The food is averagely priced considering it is a local-owned family Mexican restaurant. Next time I will get quesadillas with an update but that is IF I come back. I'm not sure if everyone was having a bad night, but the people working that night were NOT FRIENDLY. Especially our waitress. Mi amiga that accompanied me said her waitress before (a different girl) was very rude also, but not as bad. It would be a hard to get a worse waitress than our waitress tonight, being honest. She was snappy and slow and we did not even come in super late so I am not sure what there was to be angry about. We would have to ask her to get anything we needed; refills on chips, drinks, salsa, and she even forgot my drink that I HAD to get to be able to get the cheap tacos. I mean those mistakes aren't a huge dealio but when it comes down to being hospitable and welcoming to your guests, she really was not. At all. Really, no one seemed happy we were there and we felt like a bother. And to think, they are so near-by to my friends, family, and I that they could've gotten a lot of business. I think we're going to stick with El Rincon and Pepes Bosque (my friends and family agree). I hope the manager looks into getting new employment because like El Rancho, this place won't stay around long. read more

It wasn't good. No flavor. The only thing good was the salsa. The server was very kind and took great care of us!!

Our visit to Biloxi, Mississippi was amazing. We haven't been in a while so I would highly recommend visiting if you haven't. Being from Louisiana it only took us 1hour and 45 minutes. It was worth the drive. Walmart there is really really nice. AND of course Jalapeno Grill was delicious, awesome, delicious and awesome again!!!!!!!. Plan your trip today and don't forget to eat at Jalapeno Grill Y'all!!!!!!!!. Shout out to Mr. GILBERTO. WE WENT SATURDAY WITH A PARTY OF 10. THANKS FOR SERVING US. read more

This place got my order wrong 3 times! Then my all of my friends orders were wrong! I was only in a group of 5! Not only that they added extra stuff to our order and most of the staff couldn't understand us and didn't write it down! They thought we said Large instead of Lunch! So our 6.98 order was 9.98! 63 bucks wasted! Never going back again! read more

I have yet to be disappointed I'm Spanish and I'm from Texas so Mexican food has a very high standard in me and my husbands life we both genuinely love to go here and he loves there salsa although I say it could be spicier but all in all the food is absolutely delicious read more

the food is ok and the prices are decent but you do get a good deal of food with your order and the staff is great and courteous

The service was good. We had a young male who was eager to please. I ordered the Taco Salad off the lunch menu, with steak. The portion that came was surprisingly large. It wasn't the traditional round "bowl". They took a tortilla and made like a fried "u" shape, so that was different. Overall, I liked the meal. The only reason I don't give 5 stars is that nowhere on the menu did it say there was an upcharge for steak. It said choose grilled steak or chicken for $8.99. The bill came back $10.99. I asked about it and that was the answer given. I don't like surprise prices. read more

Fajita Taco Salad is the best in the USA and we have tried many of them all over the country. We stop and eat as often as we can when we are in the area. If you try the 42 oz margarita bring a designated driver. read more

Usually good but today was a mess from start to finish. Orders were not right. Had to send one order back 2 times. The ticket was incorrect. I was told I ordered wrong ('the waiter didn't write anything down). What was a $40 ticket was $63. Very disappointed. read more

Passing through driving to Texas hubby and I stopped in for dinner. Jalapeño fajitas for 2 is enough food for 4 so we had a to-go box. I don't think the beef fajitas were skirt steak as is usually the case but none the less we're good. Modeling draft beer is great. We loved the cozy booth seating arrangements throughout. Would stop in again if ever in the area. We recommend. Wait staff was friendly, attentive and informed. read more
