One of the best Mexican restaurants around here. The jalapeño cream cheese is the BEST I'd put it on any and everything. I'm a big fan of the sweet corn balls as well. You really can't go wrong here though I've liked everything I've ever ordered. The kids always get a balloon and enjoy their food as well. The best part is we can also get it to go for an easy but delicious dinner. read more

The food was lukewarm at best. The Nachos were a mess like they were thrown together when it usually has the same toppings on every chip and the kids mac and cheese looked like pasta floating in milk. When we mentioned it to the server she shrugged it off. Very disappointed in our "go to" Mexican place. We will be exploring other options. read more

-Pink chicken in enchilada -Kid's Mac and Cheese unappetizing cheese soup. -Always a hole in the top of a chimichanga like someone puts their thumb in it. -Usually forget extra paid sauces/substitutions for takeout. This used to be our go-to place but we won't be going back for a while. read more

I ate here a few days ago with my family. Ut was pretty empty inside and our server was the bartender. We had a little 6 year old with us who had to order everything and the bartender was very sweet and accommodating. We had sodas, queso and more queso and we all ordered a dish. Some were picky and they still got them right. I only give four stars because my quesadilla was sitting in a pool of grease.... I used a napkin to dry them off. I've never had that happen before but it was yucky! I love the chips, salsa and their pollo magnifico. It doesn't seem like suuuuuper authentic Mexican to me but it's still a yum place to eat. read more

Lunch here was awesome! We had an attentive server and though the place was packed for lunch, we got seated quickly and our food arrived in a timely manner. Hubby and son LOVED the Enchilada trio! Enchiladas were delicious- perfectly melted cheese, deep flavored enchilada sauce, moist chicken, delicious beef. Filling, well seasoned. Extremely Satisfying. I enjoyed the Shrimp Corona tacos - San Diego style: beer battered shrimp, shredded cabbage, avocado, -yummy! And we devoured the Espinaca - love the coupons they send out. All in all, we will be back! read more

Jose peppers is a consistent solid choice for Tex-Mex delicious cheesy dining. The avocado enchiladas are now my favorite thing to get there. The lunch portion was perfect size and I was able to sub in their delicious Mexican rice and black beans to accommodate my allergies. I'm allergic to pork fish and nuts. I would give us an excellent rating if you have food allergies and need a place that can accommodate you. They were happy to make changes so that I could get something I could eat. The service was friendly and fast. read more

Jose Peppers - Chicken & Avocado Enchiladas - Mexican Near Me - Lee's Summit, Missouri

Portion sizes are Huuuuuge. I had the chicken quesadilla. Good Mexican and I'm from CA. Guacamole is legit!

Great food-great workers! Be back again and again! Love to sit outside and the fish mahi-mahi tacos are awesome!

Jose Peppers NEVER disappoints! I go through stages of being addicted to a certain entrée until I try another one and then love that one. Their Pollo Magnifico, their fish tacos and especially their fajitas! My wife loves their parmesan encrusted shrimp quesadilla and of course their espinaca. You seriously can't go wrong here and I would recommend if you have never tried Jose Peppers to go there and see for yourself. read more

Great food and great service from Emily, our server. We were surprised that this place didn't have a higher rating, so we gave it full marks in order to get the score up higher - as it should be. It's true score should be about 4.5 - 4.75. It's not a fancy atmosphere, but perfectly fitting for the style. Loads of fun! read more

My favorite Mexican restaurant. Love chips and salsa and signature nachos and spinach dip is yummy.

What a nightmare! We arrived at 5:20 and put our name in for a party of 8. We were told 20-25 minutes. We sat and watched numerous empty tables but they were waiting for "one specific table for us." Yet they seemed to find room to seat an entire youth baseball team (that came after us with no reservation) and their families. We waited for almost an hour before leaving and going to Culver's. Will NEVER RETURN. RUDE. Completely ruined our night. read more

First thing was the Chips. Very greasy and a flavor of old rotton grease that coated my mouth. That's ok I didn't come for the chips. Salsa was ok. A little like canned tomatoes . I ordered a steak enchilada. I got about 5 tiny pieces of steak in the big flour tortilla shell. The shell was rubbery and doughy at the same time, like it sat in water but I could actually stretch it without it breaking and I couldn't cut it. That was not good. The redeeming part for me was the steak wasn't the processed and frozen tuff meat many Mexican restaurants get from food supply companies frozen. I would have like more of that and condiments. They were the edible parts. I do think I would try and Fajita there someday but not an enchilada again. It's just not their sting point read more

Chips and salsa good. Ordered the crab and shrimp enchilada and there were literally just four shrimps in the fat enchilada... it had a good flavor but there was barely anything in it. what the heck... who made this? And the rice had no flavor.. read more

Jose Peppers - Crab and shrimp enchilada - Mexican Near Me - Lee's Summit, Missouri

I have grown to love this place, and crave it. I will never, in my life EVER return to this awful location. They messed up big time. My mom and I ordered peach maragaritas, and when they bought them to us, it was CERTAINLY not a peach maragarita. I am a habitual margarita drinker, and have had every flavor made. These were plain, frozen boring lime margartias. I complained to the server, who insisted the peach was a very light flavor. The peach was LIME. NO EXCUSE. So, instead of ordering what I usually order-the spinach/cheese enchilada, I decided to try the chicken fajita buritto on special, with the black beans. They bought us our meal, and i bit into the buritto (which was covered with Velveeta, their "yellow" cheese, it was Velveeta, nothing special), I did a double take on the beans, which were regular refried beans. The server said they were supposed to be black beans. Supposed doesn't get it. That was fine, the next problem was not. I cut into the buritto thinking it was chicken, which I do tolerate, even though I lean vegetarian. I thought the chicken was a bit on the dark side, and after a few more bites, I realized it was steak. I almost had to make myself throw up....possibly in the plate. I haven't had a piece of steak on my mouth for years.I donot eat steak. It reminds me of a eating muscle. I complained to the server who said it was chicken. I couldn't eat any more of it, and caught him again and said, "This is disgusting, it is steak. I don't eat steak." I didn't tell him it reminded me of eating muscle. He admitted to a printing mistake on the specials menu, and offered me something else. I was hungry, and opted for the spinach/cheese enchilada. It was bought to me, and the manager, who is a total rotten effing prick, (I had the f word there, but someone messaged me,and scolded me for it. I"m not afraid to say it on Yelp.) yes, that describes him perfectly, apologized, but didn't offer anything, even a % off the meal. He said, "This takes care of it." And walked away. The spinach/cheese enchilada was wrapped in a buritto soft shell. That is not how it is served, enchiladas aren't burittos. We get the check, and it's correct, and I was afraid to order the Mexican ice cream, like I normally do. I kept looking at the check, and wondered why they hadn't corrected this horrid situation, the fact that I had to put steak in my mouth. Seriously, this place has problems, and needs to be shut down. I just got home, and now I am going to throw up. read more

Good Mexican food in a great location. I went here for lunch with my bff and her kids: 6 years, 4 years, and 1 year. Her older kids are very well behaved, but clearly the one in the high chair was fascinated with dropping teddy grams (which this place gives little kids when sat) and chips on the ground. Since it was my friend's birthday, I insisted she treat herself with margaritas, and she really likes them here. I was DD, so I stuck with water. The older kids got milk, and then split the mac and cheese, which was perfect between the two. My friend got tacos and requested no lettuce or tomato, and I ordered a lunch meal. When we all got our food, mine and the kids were all set, but hers came with lettuce and tomatoes, so she sent it back and the manager came out with the correct order. He was so nice about it that even her kids staged whispered "He was really nice!" when he left. As former servers, my friend and I cleaned up the table as best we could when we were about to leave, but because the booth we were at was carpeted, I didn't think cleaning up after the high chair would go well, so I took the paid bill and extra tip on top of the 20% up to our very nice server and apologized we were leaving the floor such a mess, but we really appreciated how cool she was about the kids. She honestly acted like it was nothing out of the ordinary and not to worry about it, but I'm certain the generous tip was the only reason for that. So the food is good, the staff is great, the place is clean, and it's a nice stop for lunch. read more

Jose Peppers - Lunch Enchiladas - Mexican Near Me - Lee's Summit, Missouri

The sad thing if they frequently change their "recipe" on margaritas and habey dip assumed a cost saving measurement as it never reflects a positive customer experience. The owners reap the benefits, trust me, they capitalize on the shortages passed to customers and I am about at the end of my tolerance. There margaritas price increases the flavor decreases, Their signature Pollo Magnifico is constantly reduced in size and flavor where once scrumptious with cream cheese and chicken Meat is small fried tortillas with not much else. We have pictures over the years to chronicle the reduction of their "signature " dish. My husband doesn't even order the margarita because they are so bad. I only do because I add water and I like margaritas more than beer. To sum it up, I am extremely disappointed and I will continue to make my opinion known in Lee's Summit in a variety of ways as I have reached my limit on how they squeeze profit from their clients read more

DD#1 treated her father and me to movie and lunch this afternoon. And Hubby wanted to try Jose Peppers, which turned out to be a really good choice. There are dozens of menu choices and even more choices on the special Lunch menu that is available until 4 p.m. DD and I went with a lunch-sized Enchilada Platter, that had one large Cheese and Onion enchilada baked with New Mexico red chile sauce and served with rice and beans. This was generous portions and plenty of food for lunch or a smaller appetite, any time. All items on the plate were full of flavor and the enchilada was stuffed with wonderful, melty cheese making a really filling meal. Hubby's choice, also from the Lunch menu was a Grande CCQ Burrito that was so "Grande" he brought half of it home for his supper. It was stuffed with Carnitas, ground beef, Mexican rice and refried beans wrapped in a flour tortilla and topped with Chili Con Queso and with sides of rice and beans. All entrees are served on plates so HOT that the server warns diners not to touch the plate AND MEANS IT! REALLY! The complimentary baskets contain corn chips that are extra thin and crunchy and they have a great fresh tasting chunky salsa with good texture and notable chopped cilantro. Jose Peppers has been a reliable regional place for Tex-Mex in the greater Kansas City metro area for quite a number of years. Hubby and I made the trek to the original location in Overland Park for years but then sort of drifted away to other closer Mexican restaurant choices. However, this Lee's Summit location is only a few minutes from us, so, after having such a good lunch today, we are reminded of what we enjoyed in the past and I expect we will visit again soon. read more

Very good service and comfortable atmosphere. Decent for Midwest Mexican/Tex-Mex offerings!

We came in for dinner here again when recently in town. Based on our first experience this was not our choice. However we were pleased to see this place was now cleaner and the A/C was now working! This is a decent place to come especially if you have a group of folks to accomidate. A good way to start off is with the salsa and queso dips. Great to get everybody munching while you go over the large menus here. The food here is better than decent. The portions are good sized and the quality is pretty good. In our group of 8 we had everything from fajitas, tacos, enchiladas and burritos. The refried beans are good as well as are the black beans. There were no complaints. The drink menu here is very good as well including many types of margaritas and specials. The bar is also pretty nice here. The service was great! I would come back. read more

This is the second time I've visited in the last month and neither visit was good. I went back hoping they were having an off day, but obviously not. The espinaca dip was burnt and not edible, the chicken in the chicken burrito was bland as was the beef taco meat. Chips and salsa were good that's about it. I won't be back. read more

I love Jose Peppers food, and their service!! But, it seems they could clean up the outside and floors much better. It would be a nicer dining experience! read more

Fajitas arrived without the mantequilla butter so was disappointed. Also asked for no rice but came on same plate as beans. Not sure waiter listened to anything I said. Chicken did taste good and tortillas were hot. read more

We are in town visiting family. I ordered the Carnitas Chimichanga and a house margarita. I was not impressed with the food or the drink. The best part of the meal was our waitress Kay. She was edgy and fun. read more

In spite of the fact that this is a chain restaurant, this location manages to put on a family-run business air to it. Though it's billed as a Mexican restaurant the Ambiance is almost that of a sports bar with multiple TVs in every area. The service was quick and efficient and very friendly. I had the pollo magnifico with the salty chips and sweet salsa to start. That being said I will probably never be back again. As I was finishing my meal I drank my coffee halfway down only to find an encrusted ring around the inside of the cup. I'd been drinking from a dirty cup my entire meal. It kind of took from the whole experience and soured what otherwise would have been a recommendation. When I brought it to my waitress's attention after I'd paid my bill , she simply apologized and stated that she had taken the cup from the clean section and wasn't sure how that could have happened. I'm sorry, but basic sanitation ranks high on my "must have" criteria. read more

Jose Peppers - Dinner pollo magnifico Chicken chimichanga with sweet jalapeno cream cheese and melted cheddar and monterey jack. - Mexican Near Me - Lee's Summit, Missouri

First time. Not exceedingly friendly. Chips and salsa were perfect. Best salsa we've had in a while. The guac was also perfect. The waiter forgot to refill the salsa after saying she would. The food arrived hot... But alas the Mexican rice was just dry and overcooked with enchilada sauce. The cilantro rice was better but the cilantro was overwhelmed by all the lime juice. We were excited to find the sweet corn mush on the plates and it was good. The tortillas used in the burritos were thick and dry. There as hardly anything in the burritos except for the rice. The cheese sauces were forgotten. The beans were very good. I needed them to get the carnitas down cause it was too dry... For a special house favorite I was surprised at how little meat was in there. We'll come back but not ordering burritos again. I'd rather go to Taco John's for burritos. The rating escaped a 3 because the guac, corn, and salsa were so good. Oh and the waiter didn't offer more drinks until we were done eating. Luckily I had snagged her attention when she went by for my refill... Wasn't busy and she wasn't hustling... read more

Will never order form Jose peppers again ever, they've mess up my orders too many times and have been late in my orders too many times even when I've pre ordered too, I found new Mexican place that's way better then Jose peppers and their food tastes a lot better it's fronteras in Lenexa and they don't mess up your orders and their on time and foods amazing read more

Love the salsa!!! Jose peppers is a great, quick Mexican place to stop at, especially during happy hour. MARGS!!!

I've visited this particular Jose Pepper's three times thanks to friends and family who apparently want to kill me. The first time I went there, one of the servers wiped down our table with a grotesquely diseased rag which smelled like a rotting corpse stuffed with expired cheese. I nearly threw up, and had to request a different table, although they could not locate one in the area code I specified. The second time our food took over 75 minutes to prepare... and my chicken still ended up being pink on the inside. What had they been doing to it for an hour? Reading it poetry? The last / most recent visit got off to a disgusting start when I noticed several dirty forks and knives sitting on the floor in various locations. While sidestepping one of the various escaping kitchen utensils, I nearly slipped and fell on their greasy, scummy carpet. I'm convinced it would've made a splashing sound. Everywhere I walked felt like a stroll across congealed lard parkway. When we arrived at our table, sitting there amongst the condiments was a giant bottle of industrial hand sanitizer. I waited for a complimentary HAZMAT dining suit, but it never arrived. Fortunately a lot of flies did, so I stuck to the chips and salsa and slid out of there. The only way I'd ever return to this restaurant is if I'm drunk and driving a tanker truck full of bleach, and even in that situation I'd rather consume the bleach than anything on the menu at Jose Pepper's. read more

Being close to home, I've been to Jose's many times. We hadn't been since the remodel until today and it was a let down. The first thing I noticed is the drink menu was caked in salsa & other debris. It was sticky and discusting. Thankfully there was a jar of hand sanitizer in the condiment rack. Speaking of salsa, they changed their salsa recipe. Rather than using fresh ingredients, they're either cooking fresh tomatoes & onions or (more likely) they're using canned veg. Regardless, the old recipe was one of my favorites & the new one tastes like stuff that comes out of a jar at the supermarket. I mentioned something to the server who told me she did not like it as well either. However, she didn't seem to appreciate it when I told her I thought it tasted like Pace (which is does). We ordered 2 regular margaritas & discovered that was another change. No longer are they 2 for $7 - it's now 2 for $9. Gotta pay for the remodel somehow. It's still a good margarita and reasonably priced. These weren't as sweet as the 2fer7's so the recipe change here was positive & justifies the price change. I ordered the lunch portion of the Texas steak fajitas which came promptly. Unfortunately it came too promptly as the vegetables were still raw. How this got past the expediter (if indeed they have someone running QC) is beyond me. The onion to pepper mix was 4 to 1 so there was at least 1/2 of an uncooked onion on my plate. By the time our server got back to ask how we liked our lunch I'd found the few cooked onions and eaten about half the meat (which was cooked and tasty). Given her reaction to my Pace comment I decided to forgo the complaint & finish my lunch. Half the reason I go to Mexican restaurants is to eat chips & salsa and have a margarita or two. I think Jose is going to land on our "also ran" list for now. Which is a shame - I like the local guys but in this case I can trust On the Border to deliver when I'm in the mood for a patio lunch. read more

This place has my favorite salsa! I always ask for a larger bowl so our table doesn't run the waitress crazy(lol) for the meal I don't recommend ordering carry out unless you live quite close because my food tends to be extra greasy when I order my meal and take it home but this place is my favorite Mexican joint read more

Service is friendly and the food is good, not the best, but good. However, if you do go, take a jacket...it is FREEZING in there. Salsa isn't very spicy, but if you order a hot and mix it in with the regular, it's awesome! read more

Completely disappointed with the lack of customer service I, my girlfriend and her family experienced the other night. Messed up my order - completely - like major mess up. When I finally received my correct order, I was the last one to eat and the family had to wait an extra 20 minutes. Our server was terrible, completely rude and not personable at all. Got home that evening, was vomiting every 2 minutes due to the lack of cooked chicken. Please save your self and consider what you order. This is not the first time i've gotten undercooked meat at this specific restaurant. read more

Good, cheap Mexican. Some items on the menu are tasteless... Others are really good. Make sure you get the good items. I got the pollo poco or poco pollo, I'm sorry I can't completely remember. It was very good. Chicken with jalapeño cream cheese, very good. The chili reño I got was tasteless and why I gave them 3stars vs. 4stars. Margaritas are good and cheap too. The queso dip we had was really addicting (yummy). read more

If you are searching for Tex Mex Mexican Food that is commonly found in Arizona; this is it! Yellow cheese being used in their enchiladas, shredded Beef available for their tacos and enchiladas; if that is your preference over white cheese and hamburger meat, you are in the right place!!! I had the Enchilada Platter, one cheese and onion, and one shredded beef, covered in a red ranchero sauce. I could not stop grinning, the meal thoroughly met and exceeded my expectations! read more

We all know that the food here is always great. My reason for the low score is this. After I was seated, I got up to go wash my hands before eating. On my way to and from the restroom EVERY server I walked by SMILED at me. I also was past by both managers on duty, of which NEITHER smiled and I made eye contact with both. It looks like the management could take a lesson from their servers and SMILE, instead of looking like this is a sinking ship. Bravo servers! read more

Met some friends for lunch today and ordered the avocado chicken enchilada off the lunch menu. The chips and salsa were pretty good. The salsa was SUPER MILD, But tasted great. The chips were fresh, thin and crispy. The enchiladas were average. They were served with beans and rice which were also average. We asked for a hot salsa and it was more like a medium. It was also pretty tasty. The restaurant was freezing cold and the service was just okay. I wouldn't say it was a bad experience. The food was decent, but I doubt this will be a "go to" for me for Mexican good. read more

JOKE! JOKE! JOKE! Don't waste your time or money here. Literally the only two sitting at the bar and practically had to beg for service. They take ignore customers to a different level. Not once were we asked if we wanted to order. No refills on chips or salsa but they were kind enough to leave the dirty empty dish in front of us the whole time. No need to speak to the manager for the old silver fox was to busy chasing and high fiving his late teen female servers. A complete and utter waste of time spent here. NEVER AGAIN!!!! read more

Friendly service, but the food arrived cold. The food is bland and way too salty. Mexican food without the flavor. read more
