    a plate of food
    Codi B.

    Came to Kilgore to visit my cousin and we ended up here for lunch! Super cute place; very colorfully decorated. They offered a ton of options. The waitress was super sweet and attentive; never left our drink go less than half full. Everything we ordered was tasty and the portions were quite large. Price point was great and everything came out fast! Definitely would come here again if in Kilgore again!

    As usual, they left something off our to-go order. This happens all too often. I leave a tip every time and getting tired of leaving a tip for service and the order is incomplete. Someone needs to check the outgoing orders before handing them to the customer.

    Vegetarian Quesadilla

    I've been to this Jalapeno Tree several times now, each time with coworkers. As soon as you sit, they bring out chips with some salsa and a creamy whitish-green dip, all of which are pretty good. Being vegetarian, the options at most Mexican places is limited to the basics: enchiladas, quesadillas or chile relleno (cheese only). Of all the different varieties of each of the options I've tried here, none of them have really ever left me walking away impressed. The food isn't bad, I've just certainly had better at other Mexican food places. My coworkers seem to enjoy what they get here, so that's good. Today, I finally tried the vegetarian quesadillas, which have squash, spinach and mushrooms. These come with a side of guac, sour cream and queso. These are probably the best dish I've had here, so I was pleasant surprised. I know we'll continue coming here, so I think this will be my go-to dish from now on. Nice perk: They give free soft serve ice cream!

    For the first time in many years I decided to celebrate my birthday in my hometown. I live tacos love Mexican food so my mom brought me here to celebrate my birthday. We walked in were greeted there was maybe a 10 minute wait. We were seated our drink orders were taken and can we just talk about the sangria swirled margarita. It was 1 of the best I've had. The menu was easy to understand and our waitress was great. The food arrived as did my 2nd margarita and we couldn't have been happier. Everything we ordered loved up to our expectations will definitely return. It's safe to say I had a wonderful birthday I had great food and spent it with family. What more could I ask for?

    Food is always good. Service is not consistent due to short staffing, but the staff they do have is always excellent. Love their swirls!

    Subpar TexMex, poor service, and inept management. Not much else I can say about this place.

    They just played Bon Jovi's "Bad Medicine" on Jalapeno Tree radio! Plus, the quesadillas are good and the wait staff is super nice.

The salsa was superb, some of the best ever. To make it perfect for my taste, I added a few drips of lemon juice and a little salt. It was so good that I purchased some extra to take with me. A significant disappointment was the stale chips, something that had been noted in other reviews. It's hard to imagine why a simple chip warming oven wouldn't be a quick purchase to remedy this. The tacos were okay, but the birilla one was inexplicably tough. I'm not sure how that happened, since the meat was shredded, but there it was. The beef enchiladas were delicious, as was the red sauce. The accompanying beans and rice were nothing to write home about. The star of the meal was a huge slice of tres leches cake. Oh, my word~~how could anything be this good? I would drive quite a few miles to have just this, and it was worth every penny of the eight-plus bucks on the ticket.
