The food was absolutely a 5 star, BUT the service destroyed all of that. It took 20+ mins to get drinks in, proceeded with another 15 to order actual food. The food actually got out rather quickly and was absolutely worth it, but the service again was horrendous. I proceeded to order a thing of churros to end my meal and it took every bit of 15-20mins to come out & on top of that they were hard and extremely burnt. I would not recommend for anything other than to go orders. read more

The veggie fajitas were great! Service was great & the drinks were great. The frozen margarita had a very strong lime flavor so I got the margarita on the rocks and it was AWESOME! I've never had a margarita that strong before. I will definitely be back for another margarita! read more

Entered about 9:00pm and was told there would be an hour wait time for seating and saw several empty tables and I asked didn't they close at 10:00pm and the clerk said yes in a unfriendly tone. Did not stay and I do not recommend , we had a party of (2) and was in the city from out of town for college graduation and wanted to do Cinco de Mayo while in the city. Clerks were not friendly. read more

Decided to go to this restaurant off of the 4star rating they have. I wish we hadn't the food and management was horrible but our waiter was great. Let's start with the stale chips not one basket but two baskets were stale. The food was BLAND (mexican food is usually flavorful). I think they were day old chips. We had to add salt and pepper for a little flavor ( I'm not a salter). The Texas Fajitas had no taste to it even with onions and bell peppers in it. The cheese dip was even BLAND (how can you mess up cheese dip). My taco salad was the size of an appetizer plate but I was charged a full price. The quantity of food on the inside was the issue. It was barely any meat and I ordered the chicken and steak. I understand it's a salad BUT where was the meat. I didn't complain about it or the food until we were leaving. As we are getting up to leave our waiter bring out five taco salad to the table next to ours and they are Ginormous and filled to the top. As I got to the waiting area, I asked to speak to a Manager. The manager came out and I express my issue to him. He insisted that my taco salad was the same size as the other customers. He even went as far as bringing out two taco salad shells to prove his point. The taco shells he brought out was not the same size, both were different. BUT still BIGGER than mine. He ask me what would I like for him to do about the issue. I said what can you do for me about the issue? His words to me was, "I'm too busy for this, I will give you your money back and don't ever come back. My party and I just looked at each other in surprise that he would say something like this to a customer. I got my money back and definitely WILL NOT be back. read more

I wasn't pleased with my visit. My food was cold and my waiter was not attentive. I didn't feel welcomed at all. I won't be returning.

After reading reviews for this place my wife and I were a little nervous in trying it but glad we did. We're both Hispanic Texas girls I'm from San Antonio and she's from El Paso so "WE" definitely know good Mexican food!!! First off I have to say that being away from home for over a year, walking into this restaurant and the having the waiter hold a conversation in Spanish with us took me back home. After being seated we were immediately brought chips and salsa and to my surprise the salsa was actually delicious. I had a sweet tea and my gosh it was so good another thing Mexican places are known for back home. Getting down to food I had cheese enchiladas with rice and beans. The rice and beans were really good and the enchiladas were decent. They weren't the best I've had but were okay. My wife had the beef tacos and a flauta, they were both alright as well. The only real disappointment was that the tortillas were store bought and from a package which can be expected but still a disappointment. They weren't as authentic or homemade as we were hoping for. Overall it was a really pleasant experience and we would go back. read more

went here on 2/11 and ordered a chicken quesadilla and this is what it looked like. smelled exactly like cat food. wouldn't dare bother tasting it. my friend ordered chicken tacos with grilled chicken and it was old, overcooked chopped chicken pieces. i've eaten some unpleasant food before but it's never been bad enough to make me write a review. read more

Margaritas were good ! So they have that going for them . Supreme nachos were not bad . I ordered Chili rellenos , true test of a Mexican restaurant. Total fail they were nasty. I am used to having them filled with cheese and they had some mysterious meat in them . I could not even eat 1 of them . Maybe it was a bad sign when I sat down and they had ketchup on the table. read more

Came here on a Saturday night. They were not busy whatsoever (which should have been a warning). The service was fine. They have this giant fountain in the middle of the dining room which wasn't running and made it seem out of place. The salsa wasn't really anything too special and the chips were cold. The queso was good but yet again nothing special. We got a pitcher of margaritas to share. They were very standard and a bit sour for my taste. I ordered the three enchiladas for my entree which was supposed to come with a guacamole salad. They told me they were out of guacamole (keep in mind this is a Saturday night). I don't think any reputable Mexican restaurant would run out of guacamole on a Saturday night. It is a component of so many of their dishes. I got one cheese and two chicken enchiladas with rice and beans. The rice and beans were standard. The chicken enchiladas had nothing in them but chicken (no cheese) which left them dry and flavorless. I have had much better enchiladas many other places. It's my opinion that you should go somewhere else if you want good Mexican food. read more

The food that was delivered to the table was meh. I ordered Tamales (that's plural) and was delivered one which was cold in the center and I couldn't eat it. I ordered a guacamole taco which stayed it was deep fried. It was fried and was just a taco shell with some nasty, liquid guacamole sauce and some cheese. I also ordered a quesadilla that the menu stated would come with onions. Guess what? No onions. The best part of the meal was the margarita. I vote with my dollars and I won't be voting for Jalapenos again. I should have just stayed home and opened a can of Hormel tamales. I would have been happier and it would have been a better value. Oh, did I mention that the server only came back to the table to bring the check and, never once, came by to see if the food was acceptable. There are much better, and, authentic Mexican restaurants in Montgomery. I suggest that you seek out somewhere other than Jalapenos. read more

Los Jalapenos - Meh - Mexican Near Me - Montgomery, Alabama

We had not eaten here in quite awhile so decided to have lunch here after church. The only one satisfied with their meal was our grandson who had the chicken & bean nachos. Our granddaughter had chicken nachos and said the chicken tasted funny. My husband & I had the chicken fajita salad. That would have been good if we had more lettuce. There was probably not more than 3 bites of lettuce in the bowl. Not what I would call a salad. It will probably be quite a long time before we go there again. On a positive note the service was good & we were seated immediately. read more

I'm 300 miles into a 600 mile trip, it's 10 minutes to close, and they let us in and served my girlfriend and I in record time. We were in and out in 20 minutes. All the staff was extremely friendly (despite our coming in 10 minutes to close), they didn't rush us, and the food was great. Will dine here again if I'm ever in the area! Also, our server was Edwin. Thanks! read more

Good and beefy. I enjoyed my Taco Burrito Enchilada combo but it needed salt (no salt shaker on our table). The others in my group were less than impressed. Salt may not have helped. This restaurant is going on the slow rotation... we'll visit in another thirteen years. We did get the BOGO Wednesday combo special. Good service too. Lots of toddlers (I guess they like Mexican food). read more

I love this place for lunch. They have great prices on food all hours of the day. I work around the area and eat here often with clients. The service is fast and friendly. Also, they have wonderful margaritas and have a nice beer selection. This place has been a staple of pepper tree shopping center for many years and will continue in the future. read more

Met the family here for dinner the other night. As everyone has stated, the customer service folks are great! Chips and Salsa came out quickly. The ambiance of the place is not different from any other Mexican restaurant I've been to. The family liked the fountain in the middle of the store and it reminded them of a restaurant back in SC, so plus one for that. The thing I like about the restaurant (and the most important part) is the food! Definitely not bland and not over salted. Seasoned very well. I ordered the Pollo Fundido and was very happy with my order. The wife and children were very happy with their selections as well and my 5 yo tends to be picky about food. All that said, we'll be returning to Jalepenos in the near future! read more

Aw man, not as good this time around :/. Different waiter, service was not that good. I ordered Bean Nachos...and the flavor was not for me. Beans tasted bland and cheese was not great. :/ I guess don't get the bean nachos and hope to get Tomas as the waiter, apparently he doesn't work on Sundays. read more

My girlfriend and I ate lunch here this afternoon. I ordered the enchiladas verdes, which was "ok at best". The sauce was pretty good, but the chicken tasted like it was warmed up from a can. The service was mediocre. Even though we received our food fairly quickly, we only saw the waiter twice: to take our order and to bring our food. read more

Los Jalapenos - Enchiladas Verdes - Mexican Near Me - Montgomery, Alabama

Great for lunch. Quick turn around on to go orders. Chips/salsa is sooooo good. Spiced just right.

The server wasn't friendly or attentive at all. Very poor customer service. Requested water and only 1 was brought to table. Server had lack of interaction with customer, so order was incorrect. Had to wait for our order to be taken and only 5 guest were in restaurant. Now we see why restaurant was empty! Will not be returning! read more

Ordered shrimp nachos through the waiter app and when it was delivered the ONLY thing that was on the nachos was cheese and shrimp. No sour cream, lettuce tomatoes, jalapenos, no beans no guacamole.....and on top of me paying a 5.00 delivery fee they wanted me to drive to the restaurant to have them fix it!!!! The person on the phone ended up just hanging up on me without any resolution. All i wanted was to have item replaced with what the menu stated it was suppose to be!!!! read more

One of the best Mexican restaurants I've been too down here. I got the green chili enchilada and it was amazing! The service was awesome and he even brought out rice and beans for our daughter without even asking! The margaritas are pretty good too! I will back! read more

I went with two friends for a margarita and Tacos. Our waiter was the least attentive and least professional of any Mexican restaurant in Montgomery or B'ham. A tall slender Caucasian. I had to hunt him. He finally came to the table late in the visit , put his hands on my back, and called me"buddy". I don't care what he thought of me, but if I could afford the restaurant , it makes me a customer, not his buddy, nor do I need a stranger to touch me. I like San Marco's and Coco's service much better, I will not be back. read more

Perfectly acceptable. My tamale, though a little small, was nice and spicy. The enchilada it came with was not quite as good and rated as about average. Their tortilla chips were thin, hot, and crispy and came with a slightly peppery salsa that was on the "chunky" side. Good service, but nothing outstanding. All in all, it's good for a quick, cheap lunch but not for much more than that. read more

I am very picky when it comes to Mexican cuisine and this establishment has exceeded my expectations. I had the chimichanga which was the closest step outside of my regular chicken and cheese quesadilla and I was honestly surprised at how flavorful this entree was. If my diet wasn't so strict I would definitely visit this restaurant regularly. read more

Decent middle of the road Mexican fare. Fajitas were ok but nothing to write home about. Kids enjoyed the smooth refried beans and ground beef. Tortillas were from a package. This is on par with other Mexican food I've eaten in Montgomery, but not up to Texas standards. read more

This is my go to spot for Mexican cuisine! They always greet me and have made a point to learn my name. The food is always delicious and takes no time at all to pick up a to go order. I would highly suggest this restaurant. read more

My favorite place to eat in Montgomery, fast and friendly service, not overly salted or covered in cheese like most places in the area. Authentic, flavorful and fresh, as Mexican should be. Very cheap for lunch, and bogo combos on wednesday nights are great. read more

Generous portions and at a great price. Usually order "to go" and the order is always correct and on time. Friendly staff too!

Hidden gem. Very fast and friendly service, a bit off the interstate if passing through but well worth the extra few minutes drive. Great value, actually underpriced for the amount of food one receives, but certainly not a complaint on this end. Fabulous experience several times over. read more

Service was slow and I never got my beer, but I paid for it because it would have been painful to work it out with the server. Food is average and I feel kinda sick now. Understaffed. read more

Good service, but "okay" food. Sloppy mexican that was mostly cooked the day before. Decent margaritas. Won't be going back.

Best Mexican in Montgomery! Amazing deals everyday and great food. Make sure to try the Sapa Eggrolls, their delicious! Jalapeños is a great homey Mexican restaurant with good service and even better food and deals! read more

Use to love this Mexican place! Well not anymore... I ordered chicken and cheese quesadilla's and I get all the way home and there's no cheese! Called the guy and all he could do is apologize and not offer to make anything right!! read more

my wife and I were taking our adult daughter to lunch after a dental appointment so we just started driving around this part of Montgomery and we happened on Jalapenos by accident and our daughter who is vegetarian picked this place, at then end I was very glad she did. the service was exceptional and the look of the restaurant was very appealing. I had simple beef nachos but they were some of the best i had ever tasted.If we lived closer I would eat here often but sadly, we live about an hour away. highly recommend eating here. read more

Food is pretty consistently good. Service is fast and friendly. Decor needs to be updated and the restaurant needs to be kept cleaner.

Great selection! Good food. Decent prices.
