I went here after work with my colleagues for a meet and greet event for new co-workers. Service was kinda slow, drinks were just okay and the food was just okay. With so many Mexican options around, there are much better places to go than here. read more

Jalapeño's - Pina Colada - Mexican Near Me - Ladson, South Carolina

Greeted upon arrival. Don't get the daiquiri! Very bland and if you don't like it, they won't allow an exchange or return. They'll only add more flavor. Still have to pay for it regardless. Our server Ashlee was so nice and helpful. Loved her! Texas rice trio with shrimp, chicken, & steak was good, only 3 shrimp in it. Peppers in the rice were barely cooked and there were a lot of them. I love raw peppers but not in a dish where the other veggies are tender. Not a fan! Nachos were so full of queso, the chips were soggy. Typical Mexican restaurant vibe. This was my favorite Mexican restaurant, but I'm not sure I'd return. read more

Regular Joe "Mexican restaurant" mid quality not authentic. Great location. Over prices mid food

Everything tasted so fresh and was out so quickly even with the restaurant busy. I was highly impressed with the communication between English and Spanish. Great little spot to grab some grub and margs. read more

The food was good and service was pleasant. The ambiance of the restaurant can be downplayed for a casual setting or up styled for a dressier atmosphere. The drink specials are amazing and they have a variety of specials outside of happy hour specials. read more

I ordered food for my lunch break over the phone and specifically told the girl I only wanted steak and shrimp when I got back to work discovered it had chicken in it as well called back and they told me they made a mistake but I had to come back I told them I wasn't able to due to no more breaks and could come the next day they refused. I will never order from this sorry excuse place who doesn't value their customers business nor time read more

Absolutely loved this location, not just because it's close to my Job, but because from the moment you step inside, you're greeted by the wonderful staff and promptly attended to. I've been here multiple times and the lunch specials are a fantastic choice. Prices are extremely fair and you're sure to leave well fed. read more

Jalapeño's - a plate of mexican food - Mexican Near Me - Ladson, South Carolina

We really enjoy this place but this is the 2nd time I've been laid up in bed with a 101 fever, chills, pains, and everything leaving my body in liquid form the next day. I hate it because their food was good, service is always nice, no issues with any of the staff ever, but something is being missed sanitary wise on a consistent level like hand or produce washing or maybe a holding temp on a piece of equipment. read more

Combo meal was delicious! The guacapico was pretty disappointing, just pics with mayybe 1/2 and avocado (chunks not even mashed!) Margarita's are spot on! read more

I have been here multiple times without a problem. Today I had a dish which I have had before but this time it was way over spiced. When I sent it back they were apologetic and got me something else. The problem is they still charged me for a plate of food sent back. Stay from this place for poor service. Maybe ownership changed but the young girl tasked with this issue was not prepared to handle it. read more

Came here for lunch on a week day and the place was pretty empty. The staff was friendly and the food was solid! Service was a little slow in the beginning but ultimately not an issue. Pretty good lunch prices. The lunch fajitas had great flavor and the chicken seemed like good quality. I will return for lunch next time I am craving Mexican food. read more

I really like the salsa and chips. The service is always good and the food is constantly GREAT.

terrible service, stopped serving us when mourning our loved one. As a server and bartender im disgusted

This restaurant is a great bang for your buck. My husband and I both enjoyed our dishes. I had the fried, shredded chicken burritos and they were fantastic. My husband has the steak and shrimp tacos. He thoroughly enjoyed them. He did say that the rice and refried beans were not seasoned well enough. Also, the beer glass he received was a little dirty. We swapped glasses and everything was fine after. Overall we had a pleasant experience and would go again. read more

This is our first visit here and I sincerely doubt that we will return. The majority of Mexican restaurants in this area are all very similar. I ordered the same exact thing here as I have ordered at other places & this time.....It had no flavor. I was seriously disappointed.

This is your typical Mexican restaurant. Every time that we've come here, we've always had great service. The food was great the first time that we ate here, but on this most recent visit, it was just alright. I always order the Pollo Fundido and it's usually pretty good. We'll come eat here before we go to another similar restaurant in the area - it's decent and is a great option if you're craving Mexican food. read more

I really cant get enough of this place. I'ts tucked in the Food Lion shopping center right off of Ladson rd. From the outside, it doesn't really look like much. Walking in, the décor is a little festive, similar to a lot of other Mexican restaurants. Christmas lights hung along the bar year round with corona advertisement strung about. They have amazing happy hour which is probably one of the longest I've ever seen from 4-8pm. A couple of the drink specials during this time is $12 margarita pitchers and $2.50 tequila shots The menu is a little overwhelming with pages on pages of options. This is another thing that is pretty consistent with most Mexican restaurants. The food is where they really stand apart. After spending a few years in Arizona, I have had my fair share of Mexican food. Jalapenos is the closest thing to authentic I have found in all of the Carolinas. Their pollo chimi's are as close to perfection as food can get. The chicken is perfectly seasoned. The tortilla perfectly fried. If you like spicy, make sure you get the house hot sauce on the side to kick it up a notch. read more

The food was horrible I ordered the steak Mexicano it was so over done it was like jerky my husband was done with his meal before the server checked on us and when she saw I hadn't eaten it and we told her it was not good she asked if I wanted a box I said no I wouldn't eat it here I'm definitely not taking it home to heat it up and eat it all she did was take the plate and leave it on bill. I definitely will not be back read more

Let me just say I love Mexican food. But had the worst experience here today. I ordered an ACP without onions with a coke. (By the way, they weren't busy), anyway server brought me a tea, sorry but I said coke. Then came to me 5 minutes later and asked "you said no onions right? Yes ". About 5 minutes later brought me my food that you can tell had been trying to get the onions out that they put in. And they missed a ton. Never came back to check on me, never refilled my drink then brought me the check. $15 and some change. I put a $20 bill down and the server NEVER CAME BACK. She just to it on that that was her tip. And when I went to walk out, NOT ONE PERSON IN THE RESTAURANT??????? What in the world????? I will never return here ever again read more

I just ate lunch at the Ladson location 11-20-23 1:15. My coworker and I eat lunch here at least once a week for the past 4 years. Normally everything is great. However not today!!! 1st the waiter got my order wrong, I said no problem it'll be fine, I'll just eat it. Then when it came time to pay, our waiter had rang us up for dinner portions. We specially stated Lunch - my coworker actually pointed to the item she wanted on the lunch menu. Our waiter was unavailble, so we showed the error to a different waiter, she said hang on let me call him, she came back to the table and said he didnt answer. Then she asked "did you tell him you got dinner portions?" We said no because we didnt know it was dinner portions until you brought out the bill, not to mention I didnt even get what I ordered how on earth would I have known. She said "Sorry" and just stood there. I said Whatever just ring us up. Well as we were leaving our waiter appeared so I told him of ANOTHER mistake he made. His responce was "Sorry" Are you kidding me!!! this is terrible customer service!! I have emailed the resturant directly so we shall see if anyone makes this right. read more

I come from Augusta, the land of run if the mill chain Mexican restaurants. That's what this place is, run of the mill, plain Jane, nothing special, and only here to fill you up with a bastardized American version of Mexican food. Oh well, wish me luck as I keep looking. read more

Went there tonight. Horrible service. The owner, who said his name was Jonathan,was rude and nasty to the company that I had In Town. Very embarrassing. So we left there and went to Senior Tequila. Thankfully Senior Tequila treated my company and I the right way. They made up for the embarrassment that Jalopeno's showed my friends that came into town. I will NEVER go to Jalopenos again. read more

El Jalapeno's in Ladson is a great place for Mexican. Their food is delicious and flavorful and well prepared. Each time I have been here the food has been fantastic.

Awesome food the and girls aka staff they are very nice great service my favorite restaurant :)

I've been to all the Mexican restaurants around Summerville and this is my favorite. They have free chips and salsa, which is a must. The menu is crazy long. I like going in at lunch and just sticking with the shorter lunch menu. Most lunch menu items are under $6 which is pretty cool. On our most recent visit, I had the #4 which is one enchilada, rice and beans. Everything was delicious. My husband had the Huevos a la Mexicana and really liked it too. read more

This is my new favorite go to for Mexican food. A lot of the Mexican places around all seem the same to me...from the vibe to the food. There's something about this place that just seems different and for the better. They have a nice bar along with plentiful seating and roomy booths. The food is awesome. It always comes out quick and the quality is superb. They have some good specials too. The margaritas come in a variety of sizes but let's be honest, the large is where it's at. They are so good. The menu is fairly large as well. The service is good. I can't believe I'm just discovering this place but I will definitely keep coming back. read more

Jalapeños is a standard "American style" Mexican restaurant. They have the fajitas, lunch and dinner combos, and all the cheap margaritas and Mexican beer you want. It's location is convenient and food is good. (If you've ever eaten at a Mexican restaurant before, then you probably have experienced the food here). Great for drinks after work or a quick lunch if you forgot yours at home! Service is always top notch here. read more

Pretty much your standard Mexican restaurant food it's like they have a Mexican food Playbook that all Mexican restaurants have to have love the Margaritas though... But then again I love the margaritas everywhere I do love the fact that each little Mexican restaurant has their own decor and flare friendly staff good food kid friendly read more

Jalapeño's - Whoop whoop - Mexican Near Me - Ladson, South Carolina

Rude and Unaccommodating We had dinner here with three adults and our 2 kids. We ordered all our entrees at the same time, and the kids meals (two corn dogs and fries and one taco for the kids). Our food was delivered before they told us they were out of corn dogs and wanted to know what else we would have in place of it. The fries and taco wasn't delivered so we had the choice to wait while their second order was being made and our food get cold, or eat in front of the kids. Neither of which was acceptable considering the timing of everything. The guy in the green shirt kept insisting it was "just a corn dog" no need for us to be angry that it didn't come out. He said we could eat what was in front of us or we could leave and that was that. Obviously this didn't go over well with my fiance, and we asked to speak to the manager- only to realize the "guy in the green shirt" WAS the manager. He refused to give us his name, the server refused to give us his name, and he kept insisting that what the girls ordered didnt matter, and that we should just leave or accept that we were being treated unfairly. Neither myself nor my fiance ate our food because we were trying to get to the bottom of the treatment. We are both F&B and wasn't sure why we were being talked to this way, and why nothing was brought out for the girls when only one part of their meal was unavailable. In the end, we paid for our beverages and the appetizer. On the way out I asked the gentleman what the issue was regarding him giving us his name because as an AGM myself, if I've done something wrong, maybe it'll be a learning experience going forward, and if I've done NOTHING wrong, then I'm more than happy to give my name. He informed me he had called the police and i should leave. I will never step back in this restaurant again. Im not stupid enough to believe that will matter to the owners, but perhaps it will matter to someone else. Be ware, the food is delicious but the treatment is not worth the hassle. read more

Amazing service! The drinks were THE BOMB! I loved the texas rice, it was so good. Will be returning.

I dont know why this place has so many stars. Unfortunately our experience was terrible. It was cinco de mayo. El Jalapenos had a 10 to 20 minute wait, which was way shorter than the 45 minute to an hour wait at our usual place. Plus they were very close to the house, so if we had too much salsa we could walk home. First impressions were a little worrying, the hostess was barely audible when calling out names and would skip over customers, even when other customers told her they were waiting at the bar. Fortunately we were close enough to hear our party's name and catch a table. Our table was great, and our server seemed nice, brought us water, and quickly took our drink order. I ordered a margarona because hey why not. He told me it was too busy to serve them, and he would get yelled at if he made me one. I though, that was a little weird but okay, thats fair Ill just have a beer, and we'll do a round of shots. So we are looking over the menu, and we realized it was busy, so we thought wed just get some churros or something. Nothing too complicated right? Well our server comes and asks us if we want any food, and I order the churros. He looks me dead in the eye and says "You seriously want me to make you dessert right now?" As if I was the worst person in the world. I was livid. I kept my cool though, apologized for the inconvenience and said we would be sticking with drinks. The server then asks "So you dont want any food then?" To which I replied. "Well sir I tried." If there is a restriction on the menu, please dont give us a full menu. Its very discouraging for someone to tell you 4 pieces of fried bread is impossible when the next table over is getting full plates of fajitas. Take the time, to make a cinco de mayo menu that doesn't have the items you dont wish to make. Will not be returning to el Jalapenos read more

Pretty good spot. If you're looking for a casual Mexican spot, this is it. Nice decor.

They messed up a drink order by adding way too much salt. It must have somehow got in the whole glass instead of being just on the rim. They refused to refund my money. They said "we don't remove drinks off the bill even if it's incorrect" Everyone at the table tried it and said it's not drinkable. There was no empathy or anything, from waitress or manager. Would not recommend. Wasted $10 on something I could not drink. Horrible. Even more horrible, they insisted on no refund even with the glass still full. read more

I usually don't do these types of Mexican restaurants because I am from California and this just isn't Mexican food. BUT I will say from what I have had thus far food wise it isn't bad, definitely fresh and a huge menu to choose from. The chips and salsa are good and they give you your own salsa and bowl which is nice. The reason I am giving this place four stars is for the drinks. The happy hour is awesome and you definitely do not get cheated on alcohol. I am not big on frozen fruit margaritas but my friend really wanted strawberry so we gave it a try and it was GREAT. Super tasty and not too artificial tasting. The margarona is definitely a must have and the smaller portion is anything but small! The thing was huge and only like $8-$10. All this being said my friend and I have been back 5 times since they have been open, which isn't long. It's right by our house so we are definitely making this the new hangout. Plus all the workers are very friendly and its new so it's a clean environment. Must give this place a try if you haven't especially if you are someone who thinks LaHa or Los Reyes have good food. read more
