First off, the place looks pretty cool from outside. We had never been here before but wanted to stop by just because of how it looked at night. The place is nice, pretty open and large inside. In very good shape. Everyone is friendly and the service was nice from the start. We got the usual chips and salsa. But here each of us got our own dishes of salsa and their more ranch/cheese dip. So no more fighting over the sauces. Both sauces are actually really good. The ranch style one is unique and I loved it. I ordered the salad with chicken because it just looked and sounded good. My wife got El Dorado Jack Steak. My son the Schwarzenegger. The food was great. Everything was cooked right, the flavors were great. Portions are very good for the price. We would all order the same dishes again. read more

Delicious. We split the ultimate nachos sans beef. Which if you read my stuff you know I'm totally off the wagon here. My routine is in the garbage can and we are only day two of vacation. They were so delicious but huge. Our server even warned us but we did not listen. I got something healthier to go along with it. Chili lime chicken bowl. Which I don't see on the menu but there was a photo of it on there. So grilled chicken over spinach and other grilled vegetables with lime juice. It was excellent. Also free unlimited chips and salads as soon as you sit down. The north needs to get it together. All our Mexican joints stopped offering this after COVID. We sat at the bar so we were served anything we needed immediately. read more

I couldn't say enough nice things about this place if I tried. I think my plate was just under $16 and I got an appetizer, entree with sides and an ice cream for dessert that's unheard of in the current economy for $16. On top of the food being extremely reasonably priced the service was excellent and the food tasted amazing. Two outstanding things that I would like to point out about the jalapeno tree is not only do you get salsa And chips you get some kind of avocado dip as well it's not straight up avocado but more like an avocado salsa. And the second thing is they gave us flour tortillas without having to ask for them which is over and Beyond read more

Ok I have heard different things about the jalapeño tree. I needed to eat soup so we decided the to come here. I ordered the chicken tortilla soup and it was delicious. Hubs had the jalapeño tree salad and he too enjoyed it. Now the child who always complains about her food. Had the mac and cheese and of course complained because it was not kraft and had some red and green things. Hubs tasted it and said it was fine. She did eat the rice. Salsa and avocado sauce were great! Service was awesome. Or only complaint was how expensive it was for 3 people. The Mac and cheese was $7.99 and the rice was 3.49. Our total meal was over $54.00 read more

Just picked up our order. Over $33 for two people. Food was ICE COLD, and had to be nuked to even eat it, even though it was picked up on time, even a couple of minutes earlier. 1/20/26 read more

We had lunch here During First Monday trade fair days. It was busy but not packed. Service was good, plenty of follow up without too much hovering. Chips and salsa were very good, and both chips and soft drinks were refilled without waiting for us to ask. All three of us enjoyed our food. We were particularly pleased that they invited us to substitute soup or salad for rice or beans, so we all had balanced meals instead of the typical carb-heavy Mexican restaurant fare. Salads and tortilla soup were both tasty. Recommended. read more

Most excellent service (Michelle) and we ordered the fajita combo - OMG delicious (meat and chicken were tender) !!! When coming to Canton, will definitely come again read more

Sunday night...short staffed...but the manager, Angie, waited on our table of 6 (was supposed to be a party of 8, but 2 didn't make it). Omg, the service was excellent! The drinks were amazing and the dinner arrived a short while after. Like I said...service was excellent...Angie checked on us often and made our dining experience perfect. We come to Canton Trade Days once a year and we ate at Jalapeño Tree while here last year...looks like this will be a yearly must-do from here on out! Thank you Angie for going above and beyond! read more

Found this gem mid last year. I travel across the Southern States, and I'm a native Texan. I absolutely LOVE The Jalapeño Tree. I stopped in the Canton Location, and have a wonder experience. The Ritter plate is delicious!! I mean look at the filling in the tamale!! I couldn't finish the whole plate so my Server, Katrina, kindly reminded me that togo boxes are free. Haha. Great service, amazing food!! BTW I ordered a second plate that I'm enjoying in Midland, TX. PLEASE BUILD ONE OUT HERE TOO!! read more

Seen this place dozens of times going back and forth between LA and TX, and finally stopped in! Wasn't sure if open because the parking lot was pretty empty, but then again it was like 2PM on a Monday. First let me say the staff was amazing! Everyone was so friendly and had a great sense of humor! Pictures of the inside don't do it justice. So many margarita options! We ended up sharing the Tex Ritter which was so yummy and plenty of food! Loved the salsas as well. We will be back! Thanks Haley, Robyn and John! read more

Slow service, overpriced food. Why is the jalapeño tree in Mineola so much better. So disappointed.

I'm new to this area and my 2 besties came to visit for the day. We found ourselves at the Canton Jalapeño Tree for lunch. We 3 had drinks (Donny was great!), they ordered meals as I enjoyed some delicious hot flower tortillas with their salsa (good!) and that green sauce I could probably drink! They both enjoyed their meals - hot and good! 1 ate all and the other took what she just couldn't finish home. Ms Alana was our waitress and she was amazing! She was on point with her recommendations and small talk of my new town to explore! She made it the best lunch us 3 ladies have had in a while and we will be asking for her when we come back! The restaurant was upbeat, customers looking and sounding to be enjoying themselves as well. It was clean and all the staff members were sending out great fun vibes across the entire restaurant! This was the 1st thing we all got home and bragged about! My Saturday was great and I'm glad Alana, Donny and Jalapeño Tree - Canton was apart of making it that! read more

It's hard to mess up cheese enchiladas but somehow the did... it was ok good nothing great snd I probably wouldn't go back. The salsa tasted wasn't very good and the other sauce was definitely not for me. read more

I arrived at 12 having commuted from Bossier City- My parents were expected around 12:30 commuting from Abilene. Even though they didn't make it until almost 1- and the dining room was full and the wait spilled out into the parking lot, I was never made to feel like I was an inconvenience. My server Robert was the personification of accommodating, friendly and personable. We ordered the the Papa Bear cheese bowl and fajitas for 2. All three of us shared and had enough left over to feed two more people. You know how it goes when you fill up on margarita, chips and salsa. Anyhow thanks again Jalapeño Tree, for an amazing meal. Lunch for 3 plus Margaritas $65 read more

The two most common types of Tex-Mex restaurants in Texas are the Don Pablo dark-panelled stucco haciendas transplanted from Old Mexico - and the brightly-colored poster-paint youngsters, like fiesta nightmares from nursery school. Jalepeno Tree is the latter. Think of a Mexican border-town gift-shop breeding with a pottery barn full of ceramic lizards. This is the teen-age love-child, right after it drops acid. But hey; the food is pretty good. We dined on a first-Monday weekend, so the wait-staff was overwhelmed. Considering the rush, they did pretty good. The lunch specials were priced fair, even on this Saturday. The lunch versions of Fajita Beef Quesadillas and Fajita Chicken Quesadillas were both great. The Sauteed Queso Shrimp special was almost $13, but heck - it was fantastic! Full bar, and if you want to sit in the bar - it is to the right immediately upon entry. Hostess stand to the left. The Iced Tea is also good. Plenty of onsite parking. If you are in Canton, this is worth a stop - just wear your sunglasses to mute the bright colors. read more

It's was great and no issues. Very clean and Covid conscious. Everyone was nice and attentive. Great location at the crossroads of the highway in Canton. Easy on and off and close to gas stations. Great decor and big screen TVs. Restrooms were clean and stocked too. Now the food .... great again no complaints. Chips were hot and I loved the green sauce. Sweet tea not too sweet. The Clinton Eastwood was good along with the Cancun dish. Plenty of food. read more

Our family of 6 ate here on a Friday night during Canton Trade Days. The wait was about 30 minutes, and the entire staff was constantly hustling. The restaurant was big with ample seating and space. Our server was very attentive, everyone's order was correct and the food was delicious. We will for sure come back on our next Canton trip. I would definitely recommend trying this place out!! read more

Great place to eat! The food was fantastic! The staff was very pleasant! I ordered quesadilla with rice and refried beans. I couldn't eat it all but now I have some for supper! Yum! read more

Im be writing this review cus there's something on my mind. I love Mexican food it's my comfort food. And if you advertise it's Mexican please be what y'all advertise. This place for what it is at its best is a Tex Mex restaurant. From the not even spicy salsa, to the cheesy cream dip. The green salsa was the saving grace for the chips but that's about it. What's missing is the kick of flavor and spice. I had a steak chimichanga and my kids had a chicken nachos. Both good but the meats seemed like processed flavored by product and not actual meat. What was amazing for me and saved the dishes were the beans, rice, and tortillas. Such flavor was a reminder of moms food. Also I must not forget the Staff was Amazing so courteous. This is a good place with Texan nostalgia and that's why ya got the 3 stars it just needs to be labeled what it really is and that it's a Tex Mex restaurant not Mexican food there is a major difference. read more

We come to Texas about once a month and we always stop by this place. It has some of the best Mexican food we've ever had the salsa is usually exceptional and we never have complains. The workers take the proper precautions for safety even when the place is busy. The only thing I will say is that if you sit next to the bar it's usually a little bit longer of a wait time just because the bartender is usually really busy in that area. If you sit on the left side ask for Macy she was absolutely wonderful we've had her three times and she always is super fast, very sweet and gets everything that we ask for. read more

The Jalapeno Tree - Booth on bar side - Mexican Near Me - Canton, Texas

I am so impressed with server Kim at the Jalapeno Tree in Canton, Texas! Although we were not in her section to be waited on, Kim was very helpful and made sure we were taken care of in a timely manner. I had observed how she was professional, friendly, and went above the norm to make sure her customers had a pleasant experience while dining at this restaurant. Also, I wanted to say that Hostess Tonya and Manager Angie, were also very accommodating. I am almost 3 hours away from this area, but I stop there every time I travel through Canton. I will request to be seated in Kim's section if she is available. The food was delicious! read more

I had a cup of the tasty chicken tortilla soup. It was just the right size tonight. Our other plate was the chili relleno. It was good. Nice to be back since we traveled through here several years ago. It's a plus to walk over from the hotel. read more

Got the shrimp enchiladas. Only thing is the shrimp was on top and not in the enchilada's. Still delicious

No way. This place is terrible. Their Covid protocols were exceptionally harsh and the front desk persons were not friendly and scared of their own shadow. To top it all off, the food is mediocre dog food at best. Go to Taco Bell, it's disappointing but not at Jalapeño Tree prices. We've tried this place multiple Times hoping for it to get better but it hasn't. Avoid this place like the deadly lambda variant. read more

Fabulous! Food, service and ambiance! We had just left another nearby restaurant because we were being ignored. Despite it being the end of a First Monday weekend and Cinco de Mayo, our server was fast and pleasant. The food was great. read more

My mother recommended this place and I must say I was not let down. The food was great, the drinks were made well, and the staff was quite friendly. To me that makes it a great place in the end. There were outside factors that they had no control over but they made up for it with everything else. Texas is filled with Mexican or Tex-Mex places so you need something to get your customers to come back. I will say the food will definitely have me coming back from now on when I'm in that area. read more
