Uncle Jalapeno

The food was amazing and the drinks even better. The atmosphere was inviting and every person inside the restaurant took great care. Can't wait to come back.

I ordered take out and overall I'd give it 3.5 stars. It's wasn't bad, but it also wasn't very good either. I had the paneer tikka enchiladas and they were fine. I liked the idea of it and have had Indian/Mexican fusion before so it's hard for me to not compare to mama Tigre which is just soooo much better. My food was ready when I got there, so easy enough to order online. The restaurant is brightly colored and fun inside.

I loved the tableside guac, but the rest of the food was just alright. Came here with a work group and we made reservations. No one else was at the restaurant when we all showed up.I don't think the kitchen was prepared for our party because some people got their food way before everyone else. Some of my coworkers already finished and boxed their food before my table got our food. It took about an hour for us to get our main entree. I ended up boxing mine up after one bite because I had to go back to work. Our lunch outing ended up being two hours long total when it should have been one.If the food tasted amazing, I wouldn't have rated as low, but because it wasn't that good, I give it 2.

One of the most visually appealing restaurants in Herndon! 5/5 for ambiance and vibe.3.5/5 for food (if you custom your order, and or adjust your expectations for a "fusion" meal). Honestly, I am a fan of both Indian and Mexican food, but separately, not so much together. If you make a request to customize your meal, it might be better; I customized my veggie burrito to be more Mexican - without the cauliflower and any Indian sauces - and it was great. The low rating from other Yelper are fair (on food). The jalapeño queso was also great though, not to mention their churro and ice cream.Service is solid, too. 4/5. Yes the waitstaff are just okay and could use some more experience and be friendlier, but Felix, the manager, I believe and the host at the front were both excellent. Overall, this place looks visually amazing, and with some tweaks to their food - making it more Mexican style (rather than Indian-Mexican) - coupled with better trained waitstaff, this place could be 5 stars. It's a newer place, so there is room to grow.

Went for a team lunch on a Friday, the place has a Vibrant look and feel, the owners have taken good care of the ambiance. This is a Tex-Mex-Indian fusion cuisine, and it was on point.The service was attentive and helpful, glad to see that the staff is aware of what to suggest and have a good idea of the menu. Huge space for bar, and I see some good cocktails on the menuThe Food was great, we tried tacos, enchiladas, burritos and salads. The tandoori chicken tacos and the paneer burritos offer an Indian flavor, the flavor was mild and anyone can have it without worrying about too much spice.Will definitely go back to try the fusion Margaritas

Visited Uncle Jalapeno for lunch on Tuesday. The decor, especially the booths reminded me of El Paso although the art and lights have their own flare. My friend & I both selected from the $15 lunch menu which includes some soup and several main item options. My friend went with tacos & I selected enchiladas with an slight Indian flavor twist (think Tequila Granda before it moved and become Mama Tigre). They also have margaritas on the lunch menu but we had to go back to work .Because my friend had a meeting coming up we both consumed our soup (tortilla -- tasty) but got the rest to go. Although it definitely caused some confusion we felt they were accommodating of our request. We both enjoyed our meals later in the afternoon. Oh, almost forgot one of the most important things -- their chips are good as is the salsa, assuming you don't mind a nice kick. Not sure if the chips are made on site but I am pretty confident it wasn't part of a mass cheap chips purchase. Also of note it looks like happy hour runs from 3-7PM, something I expect I will enjoy in the near future.Worth a visit.

I came over in the middle of the day after finishing at PT. I met a friend and wasn't surprised that no one else was eating at 2:30 in the afternoon. This restaurant seemed very large. I had been to the previous restaurant in this location a long time ago, and at that time, it seemed much smaller. This restaurant is large, bright, and airy, and it probably gets very crowded at a typical lunch hour with all the businesses in the area.We sat down and had the menus in front of us for maybe 2 minutes when he came to take our order. He came back twice more and I figured I better order quickly before he came back again. I ordered the lunch steak fajitas. My friend ordered the steak burrito and a lunch margarita. Shortly after ordering, a cup of chicken noodle soup with cheese came to our table and was a starter for the lunch entree. A few minutes after finishing our soup, the main meals came, and they were huge for a lunch special. Neither my friend nor I finished, and we took boxes.Oh, the chips and salsa were good. The salsa had a little kick but was good and not too spicy. All in all, the prices of a $15 lunch special and a $5 lunch margarita were reasonable. I will come back in the future. I'm curious how they do at dinner time. Glancing through their menu, I saw some dishes I would love to try.I would recommend giving this place a try. If you want to try Salsa dancing, they have that on Thursday nights.

Ok food. Good concept mixing Indian and Mexican but felt that flavors were lacking. Would like to see more spice. Veggie enchiladas had carrot and beefiest felt like it was steamed.

The food here is horrible! I wasn't expecting authentic Mexican food but this wasn't even close to resembling Mexican food, not even a Fusion. I really hate wasting food but I found it inedible. I'm puzzled about where they found their recipes, even before giving things their own twists. If their enchiladas were so bad, I shudder to think what their tacos al pastor are like!

Charged us $17.50 for a single HOUSE tequila soda. When we asked about the price, the bartender told us it was the charge for the house tequila and "putting together the drink". I have never paid more than nine dollars for a house, liquor with soda water, and I will never be returning back here because these prices are actually Highway robbery. Need to mention the place was also completely empty.
