Jalapenos Mexican Restaurant

So it should be stated that I've been coming to this Jalepenos location since they opened in the 90s and I was just a little kid. That being said, I think for most people this is likely a four star spot, but for me, it tastes like childhood and you just can't give enough stars to emit that in a person. All of that being said, this is the OG Jalepenos location. There is another one in Brookside that I honestly love just as much, but this one is what started it all and for me, it defines tex-mex in KC. The strip mall that it's located in has an old west vibe, and is essentially unchanged since this restaurant opened in the early 90s. The same can be stated for the interior, while it's certainly been kept up, and is pretty clean, it still has a somewhat divey vibe to it, and looks and feels the same to me as it did the first time I walked through the doors.

The ambience is exactly what you would expect from a Mexican restaurant. This place is sparkling clean!The staff is very friendly and my waitress Becky is THE BEST. This was my first time here and it will not be my last. The food was EXCELLENT!!

Good casual Mexican food. Fresh chips and salsa. Great white queso.We had a veggie fajita quesadilla and a chubby burrito. Great service !

Kansas City tradition, will usually have a wait but it goes by quick. Both queso apps are exactly what you want.

The food is good, not great. Mondays are BOGO tacos. The place has been there for decades...nothing fancy, but they draw a good crowd. Service at the tables is good, but if you sit at the bar, and you're not a regular, you will be ignored and get terrible service. Bobbi has been there for years and still treats people like they are bothering her. I'm not treated as badly by anyone, anywhere. I don't understand how she's still there. I would never tolerate anyone treating customers the way she does. Theres not many seats at the bar, so it's not that busy (ever). The only way to capture more regulars us to give them great service and a reason to come back. It's too bad...I'd go there more if I wasn't always disrespected.Take out is good. Won't be going back anytime soon.

It was a nice place wish it had beer food was kick butt try it and let me know what you think

Jalapeños is one of my favorite Mexican places to eat. It's close to home, the service is always outstanding, and the people working there are always very friendly. We like to eat a fairly early dinner, around 4:30, which will beat the crowd at this place. By the time we leave, the place is usually packed! The food is always consistent, which is a good thing these days! My favorite is the Jalapeño burrito with pork and the queso dip on top with rice! I highly recommend this place for great Mexican food, and I love their chips!

This established (since 1991) Mexican restaurant was running like a well-oiled machine during my dine-in lunch visit.It was a team effort. The hostess seated guests, the waiter took orders and served orders, another staff member brought chips & salsa and another staff member refilled salsa and bussed the tables. I did not wait at any point and yet I was not hurried.My complimentary thin & crispy chips with tasty medium salsa arrived just two minutes after I was seated, and the entrée arrived just seven minutes later. The burrito was generously sized and filled with moist, shredded, white chicken and beans. The side of rice was moist and tasty.I noticed three dining areas and a bar with contemporary background music (not too loud) and several TVs.Overall, very nice!

Good Mexican restaurant. Well-done guacamole. Good quality texture chicken enchiladas and chicken taco though could have been more flavorful. Not a bad place for comfort Mexican food.

Service was great. Before you even get to the table they've got your water, chips, and salsa ready to go.The food was really lackluster and had a slight chemical taste. Too bad, I liked the staff but I won't be going back
