    Ask for the Ranchero Sauce!
    Carey M.

    Always friendly, prompt, service. Love the Crema Enchiladas! Try a side of Ranchero sauce with your chips.

    Taco salad
    Jodi S.

    Taco salad was the perfect lunch choice for me today! This is a modern take on the taco salad light and no big crusty shell to deal with so flavorful. Be warned if you don't like carbs you're gonna want to ask for the rice on the side because it comes in the dish. Happy hour starts at three and last until 530 and they have really good deals on margaritas and tacos for only three dollars each. Definitely a nice experience here.

    Strawberry margarita!

    Jalapeno's is pretty much my go-to spot for Mexican food when I'm in the Barkley area. This two-story location boasts a great bar area, where there's usually plenty of seating and the margaritas are dangerously strong (I'm looking at you, Big Mama)! Like the other Jalapeno's locations, their salsa is phenomenal. And if you go on their famous Taco Tuesday, you can enjoy cheap tacos and a full-fledged salsa bar with your Mama. Yum yum! Service is always friendly here, but it can be a little slow when things get busy. Bonus points for all-day happy hour on Sundays!

    Chicken Fajitas. Also comes with tortillas, beans and rice
    Joelle L.

    Walked in on a whim to check out their food after hearing lots of good things about Jalapenos from co workers. It was great stumbling upon their $2 taco tuesdays which meant they also had a salsa bar for chips! I thoroughly enjoyed their green salsa and getting to add extra cilantro. Ambiance and decor is pretty standard for any Mexican place I've seen in Bellingham, super busy and bright colors from a variety of decorations on the walls/piñatas hanging from the ceiling... It was a busy dinner service but my friend and I were seated quickly. We ordered a burrito and green enchilada combination along with the chicken fajitas. The burrito and enchilada were good but not on par with the restaurant we often frequent downtown as the sauces used were not as flavorful as we're used to. The fajitas smelled super good and according to my friend were something they'd order again. Unfortunately service wasn't the best as it seemed they were always running from one point to another (understandable) but my friend had to ask for water refills from three different people before they were able to get around to us. I'm definitely willing to come back again, maybe just on another night.

    Lunch menu
    Trang W.

    My husband and I stop in around noon for lunch. I was craving the combo fajitas that I had before at their Holly Street location. Jalapenos has three locations and what you get in one is apparently not the same. I was disappointed with my fajitas at the Barkley location. The lack of meat over all was the first difference as well as the lack of bacon strips. There were bacon bits rather then 3 big strips of thick bacons. Second I asked for another salsa option, one that was hotter then the freebie one offer and was given a menu. I was disappointed that it would be an extra $2 for a very small bowl of salsa from the salsa menu. Even worse it was water down and had no heat or favor. Usually most restaurants would offer a hotter version for free. Service was pretty slow considering they had two on lunch duty. The food was lacking and the service was not as attentive at this location compared to our previous experience at their location on Holly Street. Next time I crave Mexican food, think we'll head downtown.

    Pretty bar!

    Always busy and staff in a hurry, but it's a nice energy and the food is good. I love the appetizer sampler to share with friends!

    This is a fun place to come for strong drinks and decent chips. :) They have great drink specials and lunch specials as well.

The decor was fun, we took up the tables in the space themed room for a private party feel. There main room had wooden tables that had a vintage school vibe- great for smaller groups or couples. There's plenty of street parking but the stairs leading up to The Orion does make it less accessible to some folks. The night I came here, I only took shots that the best man of the wedding party bought for everyone - so not much to review there. The prices of their cocktails were a few dollars off from being cheap at $7-9. I did have a sip of the cucumber cocktail and the cucumber taste was very strong- I liked it! I was really surprised by the food options here! Without the food at The Orion, who knows what my hangover after a weekend of wedding drinking would've been?! They have various hot dogs, including vegan options! I got the trash dog and it is every drunk person's dream dog. They also had toppings to customize your dog- relish, mustards (all different types!), onions, ketchup, etc. The ratio of hotdog to bun was bread heavy and they had a water jug right next to the front door- greats points for the Orion on balancing out the negative affects of alcohol. The night we came in was a Sunday and the bartender was a one man show. He checked IDs, made food and drinks! Service was a little slow because of that, but overall a great experience at The Orion!
