Great food. Great service. Great atmosphere but dinged for weak AC. Still gave a 5 because they gifted us tequila shots due to AC issue.

I love eating here for their varied dishes (the tacos birrias are my favorites with the churros for my sweet tooth) and enjoyed their margaritas (which they’re very popular). I always have a good time and they’re very accommodating,welcoming, and provide entertainment.

We’ve been coming here since they first opened. They always remember us and our drink order. Have tried many of the menu items and never had a bad meal. They have a singer Friday and Saturday evenings so it can get loud, and don’t be surprised if a couple stands up and starts dancing. Their margaritas are many and flavorful. Just love this family. You can tell they’re close knit and so supportive.

Amazing food/good portions, lively ambience and very friendly service. Live music on a Saturday night was a plus! Would strongly recommend!

The food was good but the service was the worst. This was my first and last time to El Jalapeno. I could accept it if they were light of staff or busy but there were more staff then patrons. Walked in and we were seated no problems. It took us 10 minutes to order drinks and appetizers. We weren’t sure what we wanted but was interested in the margarita flight and said 2 The waitress should have informed us that the flight was full size glasses usually a flight is small. I am glad we decided on our own to have 1 and get something else. Appetizer comes 20 minutes after ordering, we asked for sour cream that did not come until after we finished the appetizers and we were charged $2.50. Mind you we still had not ordered our main dish or able to order additional drinks. We asked if someone could get our waitress and they came back that she was too busy to come. At that point we asked for our check left and went to another restaurant for dinner that gave us better in 2 seconds then this place did in 1 hour. Never again…

What a amazing Mexican place. The staff was attentive and very friendly. The margaritas were strong and delicious we had classic and tamarind margaritas. Both were amazing. The plants which adornd the establishment were beautiful and natural. The menu was diverse and authentic. Our food was impressively delicious. The artwork was phenomenal. This is not a place to miss. I strongly encourage you to try this place. We will be back.

Stopped by El Jalapeño Charro after visiting storm king art center. We were STARVING. We loved our food, the ambiance inside the restaurant is right on brand for authentic Mexican cuisine. The waiters were males, they were very attentive and friendly. All of our food items were fresh, and delicious. Once you sit down you are given chips and salsa as a house courtesy, chips were fresh and the salsa was great! We got the guacamole for the appetizer and tacos for our main course. Overall we had a great experience and we would return. Stop by and see for yourself. Thank you!
