Jalapeno's

The food is pretty good.  The salsa is a little too salty.  The margaritas are terrible, but they pour a decent shot of tequila.  I recommend the chicken tacos, and order them with extra spicy sauce.  Ground beef entrees are pretty standard Mexican fare.  It is a decent Mexican place, and one of the only authentic ones in the area.  Good Tequilas is better, but it's too far on the other side of town for me.

My husband and I used to eat here every Thursday and have half priced margaritas UNTIL we both got sick. I sometimes felt it wasnt overly clean but the wait staff was nice and attentive and I loved the chicken fajitas sad we wont be returning.

Though we eat here fairly frequently and enjoy it, I just can't bring myself to tip Jalapeno's up to that fourth star, and I'm not sure I can articulate why.

The servers here are incredibly friendly, but the service itself is sometimes kind of frenzied and awkward. It seems your table doesn't really have one server, just whoever happens to pass by, which means requests can sometimes get lost along the way. The food is almost always lightning fast to the table, though on one or two occasions it's been painfully slow (which no one on staff noticed, a problem with not actually having an assigned server).

The food itself is... well, it really is just okay. It's never bad (except for that one spinach burrito I got), but it's never great (except for their beans, which I have a bit of a love affair with), and it kind of seems like the kitchen doesn't care a lot about what's going out on the plates. Obviously Jalapeno's is a million steps up from the likes of Taco Bell, but at the same time, it seems quite a few steps away from real Mexican cuisine as well.
