Well, once again we went out to eat at Jose Peppers last night. They were having a special on their Pollo Magnifico for only 9.99. I had never had it but the photo and description of it looked enticing and it delivered! My wife got the Tortilla Chicken soup, also delicious. Plenty of leftovers for another meal for each of us. As always, the folks that work there were extemely courteous, caring and very pleasant. KMacho used to be our go to place for Mexican food but there is usually a long wait for a table, the tortilla chips on our last several visits there have been stale and this location is a bit closer for us. I also like that JP's has specials which saves us some money. Both have high quality food for sure but for now I prefer JP's!

Steak soft tacos

I'm really surprised that I've never reviewed this location. I've been here several times, especially since the mission location closed. I normally order online and just pick it up. It's always been super easy and convenient. During my last visit, I actually ate in the restaurant because we had a family dinner there. The staff was super accommodating, especially because we had a few people and weren't really sure on how many. The interior has quite a few tables and a separate bar area. I believe they also have an outdoor patio, but I didn't get to check that out. I almost always get a house Margarita, rocks, salt. It's super cheap, very good and you can even get it to go. During happy hour the margaritas are two for $10 so you really can't beat that. But even if not on happy hour, they're only six dollars. A few others in my party got frozen fruit margaritas-peach and strawberry. Those were a little sweet for me but they still tasted good if that's your thing. I always get the exact same thing every time I go to Jose peppers. I get two soft steak tacos and I substitute the rice and beans for a side salad with ranch, preferably dressing on the side. I don't care for the rice and beans so I always get the salad. The salad always has fresh produce. I do like the ranch dressing but sometimes they are heavy handed so I like it on the side. The steak tacos are light but still filling. They are definitely not authentic but that's OK. I don't always want a super authentic taco. Occasionally, I crave white people Tex-Mex. And when I do, this hits the spot. The steak is always nice and tender, which is surprising from a Mexican spot. I will most definitely return. I'm sure I will be back in the future with family to eat there. And I recommend it to anyone just wanting a nice solid Tex mix experience.

#3 Combo Beef and cheese enchiladas with Deep Fried Beef Taco
Guy D.

Over a year and still going strong! Every Friday for Happy Hour, we love this location and all of the amazing people that work there. Being regulars, we enjoy the company and banter between their employees. They always take the time to come over and are genuinely interested and caring about how our week is going. That's what makes this location so great and we hope management keeps it this way and promotes this behavior! We love sitting in the bar where it is always packed and loud. After a long week it is imperative to get an adult beverage (on HH sale!) and let out the frustration or glee pent up in us. Other regulars seem to enjoy the same thing. They have plenty of non-bar seating which is much quieter if needed. We have tried almost everything on the menu and occasionally will ask for something off menu, which they gladly make. ALA secret menu like In-&-Out ;) We recently tried the Carnitas Street Tacos and they are stuffed huge and fantastic! I love the #3 combo with a beef enchilada, cheese (add onions) enchilada, and of course their famous deep fried beef taco with rice and refried beans. They basically had to wheel us out of there we were so full! Keep it going and we will keep coming to support this great local joint, thanks!

We received excellent service from Abigail, along with a prompt delivery of the queso dip to complement our chips and salsa. Our order was also processed quickly, and we continue to savor the fajitas trio and shrimp tacos. We value the fact that the music and televisions do not dominate the ambiance, allowing for conversations to take place, particularly with the manager, Jose, who likes to ensure you are enjoying your meal and service.

First time here at this location although it is just a few blocks from home. Seems to be popular with the older crowds. Pricing seem decent. Thin strip tortilla. A little heat to the salsa and chunky with peppers and cilantro. Lunch portion was enough for one person. Dinner size is huge if you got the appetite. Food was fairly good. Our waitress was attentive and provided good service. Casual atmosphere. They have several decent size TV if you're into watching a game there.

Tortilla soup
Susan H.

Very great meal! We were served chips and salsa and got espinaca dip. This was one of the most reasonably priced restaurant I've been to in a while. The place was busy on a Wednesday evening and the service was still fast!

My fave veggie quesadillas
Karen P.

Disappointed they no longer have the Vegetable Quesadilla- it was delish. I got the Enchilada Trio. It was ok, nothing special. Margaritas were STRONG! Our server, Myles, was very good.

The service was great! We had 10 people in our party and it seemed busy in general and our server was still attentive and timely. Even though there's lots of people there, it's spaced out enough where it's still easy to have conversation. The food was good, if you're specifically looking for high quality Mexican food I might look elsewhere, but it was good enough for the cost!

I'm almost afraid to go a second time because the first time was way too delicious…read more First, I was surprised by finding out it was Taco Tuesday, so I got some kind of crazy good financial deal on these tacos. Secondly, when I went home, I was just expecting tacos, and found this wide array of grilled vegetables in my takeout order. Thirdly, several of the tacos were insanely delicious.

Respectfully, nothing was fundamentally wrong with the food, but it didn't distinguish itself. I'd eat there again if nearby, but wouldn't travel for it. Service was good for ordering and receiving time. From order to table was approximately 10 minutes which is exceptional considering the quantity of food ordered. The tables needed to be wiped down, and the table service was pretty much non-existent. You order your food at a register, seat yourself and that's that. No waitress or water; you have to buy bottled water. Price point was ~$65 for the taco platter and another ~$10 for the quesabirria tacos. This filled up the family of 4 with leftovers. There is a condiments / salsa bar but customers ran through it and there was mixed food between all the containers. The pickled red onion has their own kick to it which I enjoyed and their salsas/hot sauces are good. The decor is pretty straightforward, tables and chairs, with typical music you'd expect from other Mexican restaurants. Futbol on the TV's and old movies on others. There is a chef at the opposite end of where you order your food, hats off to that man he was very receptive and worked very hard. He helped with getting our table wiped down, our waters, and to go stuff for our leftovers, if he sees this, I want him to know I appreciated his efforts. This review is for my first time experience in Overland Park. I do not know if this is normal or because it was a Sunday that this is what the experience is but I will say, If they offered free water, had a busser, and kept the place more tidy it easily would elevate the rating.

I'm usually a regular at the Olathe location, but a few of us decided to switch it up and hit the…read more119th spot. I felt like branching out and noticed the Kansas Burrito is touted as one of their top sellers. On paper, a triple-threat combo of pork, ground beef, and chicken smothered in spinach dip sounds tough to beat. I skipped the rice and doubled down on refried beans instead. ​The execution just didn't live up to the billing. It's hyped as a massive heavyweight, but what landed on the plate was distinctly pedestrian-sized. Worse, the ground beef hijacked the entire flavor profile. The pork and chicken were practically MIA unless everything got minced down into an indistinguishable mystery hash. It wasn't terrible, but it's firmly a one-and-done for me. Lesson learned--next time I'm sticking to the proven hitters: the flautas, carnitas, sizzling fajitas, or my personal heavyweight champ, the poblano con pollo. ​That said, the visit was far from a loss. The dining room was spotless and had a nice vibe, we were seated immediately, had plenty of chips to snack on and our server was sharp and attentive from start to finish. To top it off, the cucumber-chili margarita was absolute perfection. Credit where it's due: across every location, they simply do not miss behind the bar.

The service was okay! Nothing super special but they answered questions and were helpful at the counter. This was our first time here so we ordered a few things to sample and share amongst ourselves. The first thing we had was the chips and queso, which I thought was a bit expensive at $7.99 but not too bad. The queso was fairly spicy but otherwise nothing special. I usually love queso so it surprised me how neutral I felt toward it! The chips were good, thin and light with a crispy bite to them. We unfortunately didn't get to try the salsa, noticing only at the end of our meal that there was a sauce bar near the counter! The birria tacos were also...okay. They were very juicy but not very uniquely flavored compared to everything else we tried. The meat was tender and I loved the texture of the tortilla, but didn't care for the massive handful of cilantro dropped on top of everything on the plate. The dipping liquid (birria sauce?) was alright! It was the same flavor as the tacos themselves so it didn't add much, but it definitely wasn't bad. The "main course" of what we ordered was a combo of soft chicken tacos, rice, and beans. The chicken tacos were unfortunately very cold by the time we got them which was a bit strange, as almost everything else was hot! They tasted good but I'm really not a fan of eating cold chicken, so I passed them off to my friends. The beans were just okay. There's really not much to say about them. The rice also left me disappointed! I typically devour Spanish rice. Not only was it cold, there were also odd, hard grains of rice mixed in. Not enough to get one every bite but enough that the experience of eating it was off-putting. It was also quite bland. Another note: While we were eating, there was this constant loud droning coming from the air conditioner. I'm a MASSIVE fan of air conditioning so I'm grateful it was on in the first place, but that is something they really need to get fixed. Two women seated near us actually got up and walked outside after commenting multiple times about how disturbing the noise was. My experience here was definitely a mixed bag but it leaned toward the positive, so we'll likely try them again! They had several other menu items I'd like to try, including some American fare that I found intriguing.

My build-your-own weekday lunch ($8) included choice of entrée, choice of beans and rice. It was served just ten minutes after I ordered at the table, which gave me time to dig into the complimentary chips and mild (with a little kick), somewhat chunky salsa. The chicken tinga burrito was packed full of moist, white chicken and topped with a very flavorful sauce and cheese. I found the black beans to be pretty good, but the rice was somewhat dry and clumpy. The dining area had a central bar area, unique light fixtures, a mix of booths and tables, Mexican decor, Mexican background music (not too loud), a table-side cart for fresh guacamole and several backdrop spots for photos. I also noticed two rollup garage doors leading to the covered patio area. The food and drink menus included Mexican favorites, taco flights, taquito flights, margarita flights, 88 tequilas, meals for the kiddos and brunch (Sat & Sun 11AM - 2PM).
