    Spicy Pineapple Margarita

    Service was excellent! My husband and I stopped by on a Thursday evening to find the dining room was booked with reservations but the hostess said outdoor seating was available. We sat under the covered patio, and we were very comfortable. I had the Spicy Pineapple Margarita and my husband had the Herradura Tequila flight. We shared the vegetarian nachos with a side of guacamole, and we each had a short rib hand taco. Everything was delicious! Definitely will return. And check them out on Wednesday evenings as they host live music.

    8.28.23 Haven't been here for a while wife and I thought we would come in for happy hour. We arrived shortly after 5 the got the last 2 seats at the bar, we ordered drinks and looked at the menu and happy hour menu. Wife ordered rice bowl said it was very good I had a soft shell crab taco and a smoked short taco. I don't think there was much difference between the smoke short rib and the regular short rib taco the smoked on was $2 more, the soft shell crab was ok the crab was tough it should have not really been served. All of the legs and the claws were like chewing on leather the inside meat under the shell was excellent once I was able to chew the legs and claws, the short rib was very tender. I don't understand why the tacos don't come with a spoon of rice at least.

    Great experience at Jesse Jays Kitchen...this was my third time going and on this occasion I got to partake in the outdoor seating area and expanded outdoor bar area. On this special occasion our three servers in the bar area were Kaylee, Valeria, and Chell which all took great care of us. Every drink was made special to order despite the crowds of people who also requested a cocktail. We tried several of the street tacos and they all were excellent...I'd ditch the flavored margaritas and stick to the classic. I'm picking the short rib and fish as my two favorite tacos with the fish coming in as a strong first place. Although small in stature this place leaves much behind to be remembered. Worth every bit of a 30 min drive and I guarantee you will want to come back because of the friendly service. PS if they have the empanadas get those too

    Food is excellent! We sat outside with our 2 year old for lunch and she was able to run around and play in the grass right next to our table after eating. It's not as crowded on Saturday around noon so that's the best time to go with little ones. We ordered chips & queso to start. Then my husband ordered the pork rinds. Both appetizers were delicious and came with huge portions we ended up taking a lot home with us. The taco salad is always a favorite and my husband got 4 steak tacos. Both meals were amazing and my daughter got the burger off the kids menu and it looked like something I would have ordered for myself. I almost didn't want to recommend this restaurant to keep it a little secret for us but I had to share everyone else out there to try this hidden jem right here in West River, Maryland. If you are planning to sit inside make sure you make reservations online beforehand as it can get booked pretty fast on the weekends for dinner rushes. Service is excellent and most of the time the owners family is helping serve everyone their food. You can also bring your friendly dogs when sitting outside. This is a small town favorite and so happy we finally have some authentic variety this town so desperately needed!

    This place had me at hello... would you like some chips and salsa…read more First and in full seriousness, I don't know what they do to the chips, but they are something amazing. Free chips & salsa may be a gimmicky thing, but when they are good, they can really hook you. In spite of ruining my appetite with too many chips, I loved the variety on their menu. They have standard mexican fair but also have some very unique dishes and fresh takes. I can recommend the Michelin tacos, especially if you are looking for a variety. Service was quick and friendly. I resisted the urge to get more chips & salsa when offered (multiple times), but I wouldn't fault you if you opt for seconds. The restaurant itself is clean and is decorated in a fun manner for guests to play some eye spy or for kids to enjoy. There are also plenty of TVs to catch whatever games might be on. Enjoy!

    As a new resident to Kent Island, the first thing I wanted to find was a local Mexican restaurant…read morethat felt authentic and welcoming--and Senor Chile absolutely delivered! This spot is officially my favorite Mexican restaurant. The atmosphere is vibrant, yet feels genuine. It has that perfect buzz of a neighborhood favorite, and the staff is genuinely friendly, making you feel like a regular even on your first visit. The food is where this place truly shines. I decided to try the steak and guacamole and it was cooked perfectly, with full of flavor. While their entrees are amazing, their tortilla chips are the best I've had. Everything tasted incredibly fresh, and the portions were generous. The service was fast too! If you're new to the area, or just passing through, do yourself a favor and make Senor Chile your stop. It's authentic, delicious, and exactly the kind of local business that makes a community feel special. This will be one of our regular stops.
